At the start of this act, I was gold and honestly thought I could make it to plat...well in the past week or so my aim is terrible. I was never good at one taps, but I had enough accuracy that after 2-3 shots I could get a headshot. Idk if I've been playing the game too long and I need a break, but I've avoided playing comp as my aim has gotten so bad I've been demoted to silver. If I do hit a headshot nowadays its down to pure luck.

I've watched so many youtube videos on best aimlab courses and my score is very similar to what it was a month ago, but even in unrated with reyna im constantly getting .5 kd's and my aim is just dreadful, I wouldn't even put me in Silver anymore, more like a bronze. I guess my question is, has anyone else had thise problem where the aim significantly gets worse? Do I need to take a break? Or are there any specific aimlab courses that helped you? Another thing to note is that whenever I change my sens by .05 or .1 my aim gets temporarily better for a few games but after that it's just as bad. To me that doesn't make sense as sens is something you learn, not something you pick up in the first hour of changing it.

Hmmm, I use Aimlabs for warmup and I use Kovaak's to track my progression. I feel like Aimlab is very hard to measure how I'm improving, and I don't like their leaderboard setup.

A very good resource is the Voltaic community discord. I use their stretching guides, aim benchmarks, and routines. I've found a lot of success using this for Kovaaks - there are also a ton of helpful people that helped me out with questions just like yours.

Recently I did the "TenZ" recommend method to find your perfect sens. Essentially it's just a binary search, but someone made an awesome tool to help this process!

I used gridshot, and my opinion of what sens felt better, when doing this test. I think gridshot was a quick example of something I could do 5-10 times on each sens and get an idea of how I was performing. I also recommend popping into Valorant range and shoot some bots to see how it feels. I'm at 800DPI and went from 0.36 to 0.29. I have noticed that lower sensitivity has helped me get more headshots.

It's interesting calling out that you feel more accurate right after dropping your sensitivity. There was a theory in the early COD pro scene that if you played on high sens, then dropped your sens back to normal, it increase your accuracy. I haven't looked into it much, but I know I've run into some aim training people that train at "normal" sens and high sens.

Honestly DM has helped me a ton, along with Kovaaks. But make sure you are consistent, and you don't burn out. I try to do 30-60mins a day, and some days it can be real hard to put that time aside. Good luck!

LOL I just used gridshot as a quick gauge when trying to find what sensitivity worked for me :)

But yes, I should be judged :(

You're probably right, I wanted a healthy mix of speed and precision. I'm coming from playing League and COD at like 1600 DPI and high sens. So I'm trying to break years of wrist aiming.

So it's a slow process. I'll probably end up doing it over again but spending more time, and running it through multiple tests. I love data stuff like this!
