Hello there again, boys and girls, Librarian Husky here. If you constantly lose 50/50 gunfights, stop blaming smurfs or your ping issues. What? The only thing you can control is your aim. And if you don’t fix it, you might never reach your desired rank.

Improving Your Aim in Valorant for Every Rank

After years of coaching hundreds of players to Immortal and Radiant, I’ve discovered that every rank tends to lean towards specific aim mistakes. I’ll give you one aim advice tailored to every rank in Valorant. And I won’t just stop there. I’ll also give you one actionable drill for each mistake. And make sure to stick around for every rank because some of the lower ELO tips might actually be the reason you’re still stuck in your rank. Let’s get into the tips.

Starting off with Iron and Bronze players. If you’re in Iron or Bronze, your biggest focus should be building basic mouse control. You might have heard terms like passive aim or crosshair placement. And while those do matter, they don’t help as much if you can’t hit the target when they actually appear. At these ranks, shaky flicks and missed sprays are the real problem. So instead of trying to develop perfect crosshair placement, work on your active aim. That means your ability to flick, micro-adjust, track, and control your spray during gunfights. Working on active aim gives you faster and more notable results. You can think of active aim as your engine. It powers everything. If your engine isn’t working, then it doesn’t matter how nice your car is.

For this rank’s drill, we don’t need to overcomplicate things. To train your active aim, head into the range, pick two bots, and flick between them. Prioritizing accuracy but also trying not to be a snail with your initial flicks. But after the first flick, you want to wait a split second so that you can make that small micro adjustment to the target’s head. You also want to shoot only one bullet at a time, and you don’t want to kill the bot right away. You want to dink a bot once, dink another bot, and flick back and forth at least twice between each bot. So, use a classic or use a ghost with bot armor on. Improving your active aim will make you better than 99% of Bronze players. So, trust me, you’ll climb to silver in no time without having to focus too much on skills like game sense and your utility.

And speaking of Silver, Silver players’ biggest aim issue isn’t their flicks, but now it’s where they actually place their crosshair. In fact, one of the biggest issues I see in Silver is players not pre-aiming their angles.

Understanding Crosshair Placement in Silver Rank

Proper crosshair placement is crucial in Silver rank. Players often neglect pre-aiming their angles, leading to missed opportunities in gunfights. To improve in Silver, focus on positioning your crosshair where enemies are likely to appear, giving you the advantage in engagements. This simple adjustment can significantly enhance your performance and help you climb the ranks. Experiment with different pre-aim positions and practice consistently to see noticeable improvements in your gameplay.

Improving Pre-Aiming Techniques

Instead, they peel the angle, slowly turning their mouse as they peek, and that gives enemies way more time to react. Most of the fights you lose in Silver, you could have won them by pre-aiming correctly. And here’s how to do it. Picture where the enemy’s head would be behind the wall. Then swing out with your movement keys and let your crosshair land on the target. You shouldn’t have to panic flick your mouse after the peek. Pre-aiming makes getting kills effortless. It can feel weird at first because you’re not used to using your movement to aim, but trust me, this will be one of the most effective techniques you’ll ever implement.

If you’re looking to practice pre-aiming, go into the custom game and focus on peeking angles while aiming your crosshair at head height into the wall. To break your bad habit of peeking the angle, make sure you’re only using your A and D keys and not moving your mouse to line up your crosshair with the target after you’ve peeked. It’s not hard, you just need to get used to it. To really build this habit, you should practice pre-aiming in death matches as well since you’re playing on the actual maps you’ll have in ranked. You’ll also get used to common angles where enemies peek or hold from.

Mastering Crouching Techniques for Gold Players

Now, for Gold players, it’s time to talk about abusing the crouch key, but not in the sense you might be thinking. Even pros crouch during gunfights. But the key difference is in how and when they do it. When a Gold player crouches, it’s usually a panic reaction that leads to spraying at the body. But in contrast, higher-ranked players crouch with purpose, often While tapping or bursting at head level. Crouching itself isn’t inherently bad. The problem is when you spam it without intention at longer ranges, especially crouching can mess up your aim by dropping your crosshair too low, forcing you to make extra micro adjustments mid-fight. And in Valorant, those few milliseconds of readjustment can be the reason you lose the duel.

Another reason you need to use crouch less during gunfights is that it makes it very hard for you to strafe. What I mean by this is that if you’re fighting an enemy and you’re constantly crouching, you make yourself an easier target to hit rather than if you were moving in between your shots. So, how do you stop yourself from crouching too much? While I see many guides saying that you need to unbind your crouch button completely, this is actually a terrible thing to do. In off angles and short to mid-range gunfights, it can be beneficial to crouch. And if you unbind it completely, you’ll lose those advantages.

Improving Aim by Adjusting Movement

What you can do instead is train yourself to not use the crouch button instinctively. Before you play our games, hop in a DM and focus on not crouching in gunfights. As a punishment, every time you use it, you’ll need to die to the next guy that you’re facing. What you’re doing here is training your brain to stop pressing as soon as you get into a fight. With enough practice, you’ll break the habit and learn how to actually leverage crouching in your favor.

With crouching habits out of the way, it’s time to focus on the next big mistake holding your aim back. Plot players, let’s dive into how your movement affects your aim. What I haven’t told you yet is that you can hit Gold just by stopping and shooting when you see someone. That alone carries you pretty far, but once you’re in Plat, that’s obviously not going to be enough. Enemies have better aim, too, and Standing still during most fights makes you easy to hit and easy to outplay. If you’ve ever felt like you die the instant someone peaks you, this is probably why. You’re not moving enough between your shots.

Or maybe you are, but your shots are flying everywhere. Strafing isn’t just a movement trick, it’s an aim booster. When you change direction with your strafe, you’re resetting your movement accuracy. If you shoot the exact moment your velocity goes to zero, you’ll be able to land precise shots in between your strafe. That means cleaner taps, sharper bursts, and fewer panic sprays, all while being a harder target to hit. Your movement can even help you track the enemy, helping your crosshair line up without needing a full flick. It’s a win-win situation. You’ll have better aim and more survivability.

So, here’s how to train it. Go to video settings, stats, scroll all the way to the bottom for shooting error, and turn on graph only. Standing is the back wall at the center wooden pillar, straight to the left and right of the pillar, only using A and D key. You want to be constantly moving and strafing, not letting go of any of the direction keys. And now fire only when you change directions. Start slow, then increase the speed, always making sure the aircraft is just showing orange bars. And this is a mechanic blow up that separates plats from Diamonds.

And speaking of which, if you’ve just hit Diamond, the next tip is where most people stall out. Let’s talk about why most Diamond players don’t realize their biggest aim issue isn’t speed. It’s their shakiness. You flick too fast, you overreact, you panic and miss even when you know where the enemy is. That’s not something aim trainers can fix.

Improving Mouse Control for Better Aim

That’s a mouse control problem. And the biggest reason your aim feels shaky is tension control. You’re holding your mouse too tight, your hands locked up, and when the pressure kicks in, so does the over flicking. That death grip might feel like it gives you control, but it actually kills your precision. In short, you’re losing the ability to make smooth micro adjustments, and that’s exactly what you need in Diamond to win fights. So, what does calm aim actually look like? First, you stop before shooting. You flick with precision, not panic. You wait until your crosshair lands before shooting. And if you miss, you readjust smoothly, not with jittery flicks.

So, how do we build this type of control? Here’s how to train it. First, hop into a death match and focus on gently holding the mouse, like as if you’re holding an egg. At the same time, focus on tapping only when your crosshair is lined up with your enemy’s head. Every time you miss your first shot, strafe in a different direction and wait a full second before shooting again. This pause forces you to reset tension, take a breath, and refocus your crosshair. After you get 20 clean taps, start burst firing, but keep the same rule. If you miss your shot, strafe off, reset, and take a full second before trying again. And here’s the crazy part. You’ll start to notice something. You actually have way more time to line up your shots than you think, especially if you’re using good movement to throw off their crosshair placement. Once your hand calms down, your aim will sharpen up.

Now, if you made it out of Diamond, congrats. But don’t get too comfortable. Immortal is where inconsistency with their aim really starts to get punished. Let’s talk about how to fix that next. Immortal is a weird rank. One game you feel unstoppable. Every peak is a headshot. Every fight’s yours. The next game you’re wondering how you even made it out of Silver.

Dealing with Aim Inconsistency at the Immortal Rank

In Immortal, inconsistency with aim can be a real challenge. One game you dominate, and the next, you struggle to hit shots you usually land. This inconsistency can be frustrating, especially when facing opponents who capitalize on every mistake. To address this issue, it’s crucial to focus on honing your aim consistency and mental resilience. By developing a consistent routine for aim training and practicing mindfulness techniques to maintain focus and composure during intense matches, you can elevate your performance and overcome the hurdles of inconsistency in the Immortal rank.

Building Consistent Aim for Competitive Success

Welcome to the rank where consistency becomes everything. At this point, your aim isn’t bad, it’s just unreliable, and that’s what’s holding you back. But the fix, it’s been staring at you in the face the whole time. You need to train your aim with purpose. If you’re serious about hitting Immortal, then your routine needs to match your goal. Casual death matches and the occasional aim lab playthroughs aren’t enough anymore. It’s time to systemize everything.

Run through one of those playlists to start your aim training. Then jump into deathmatch and use a rule of Three. Three DMs with Phantom or Vandal, three with playing Sheriff only, and three with your favorite situational weapon. For me, it was a Marshall. The goal isn’t to top frag. It’s to improve our consistency by working on our weakest skills. Make sure to focus on your crosshair placement, clearing angles, tapping and bursting heads without over relying on body sprays, and keep your movement tight. Don’t just play on autopilot, but treat every fight like it’s the real deal. If you stick to this aim training routine daily, your aim will stop swinging from hot to cold. It’ll settle into something steady, and that’s exactly what you need to break through to Immortal.

And if you’ve done that already, congrats, you’re in the top 1%. But the jump to Radiant, that’s a different beast entirely. Let’s talk about what it really takes to get there. If you’re an Immortal, you already know how to aim. The real question is, can you aim when it matters? Confidence becomes everything at this rank. And I’ve seen it firsthand. So many Immortal players crumble not from the lack of skill, but from a lack of trust in themselves. Because when your confidence dips, so does your aim. Your hands get tense, your crosshair floats, and your decision-making goes out the window.

Dealing with Tilting Mid-Game

You stop playing to win, and you start playing not to lose. That’s when tilting creeps in, and everything falls apart. So, what do you do when you’re already mid-game and feeling your aim slip? Simple. Stop taking ego fights. Instead of dry swinging a main on Ascent and instantly giving your team a 4v5, just fall back, play from sight, hold a tucked off angle, and let them walk into you. These safer plays and positions give you space to get back onto the scoreboard and rebuild momentum without overexposing yourself.

What you also need to realize in Immortal is how crucial timing and util usage becomes. You might have the perfect lineup shot, but if you’re not expecting that breach flash coming your way, you’re going to die constantly. So, make sure to remind yourself of what util you need to be careful about. And this will also give your brain something productive to focus on instead of spiraling. And that alone can be enough to reset your mental mid-match.

At the end of the day, the difference between an average Immortal and someone who breaks through to Radiant isn’t just mechanics. It’s how they recover and how they reset and how they find a way to show up even on their worst games.
