I started playing ranked matches in Valorant again after taking a long break. At the beginning of the episode, I placed Gold, but struggled to get kills in my lobbies. However, I recently made one simple change, and now I\u2019m dominating Gold and Platinum lobbies. With this one adjustment, you too can rank up instantly!<\/p>\n

The Big Change<\/h4>\n

The one thing I changed was my sensitivity. I went from 0.13 on 1600 DPI to 0.08 on 1600 DPI. By significantly reducing my sensitivity, I started dominating in my lobbies and quickly ranked up. With this new sensitivity, I find it much easier to aim and control my spray. It has also improved my ability to track enemies, which allows me to win more gunfights. This change has given me a newfound confidence in my gameplay.<\/p>\n

Finding the right sensitivity wasn\u2019t easy\u2014it took me a long time. I kept adjusting between games because sometimes the sensitivity felt too hard to control, or I found myself under- or over-flicking. My recommendation, if you haven\u2019t found your perfect sensitivity yet, is to choose one where you can comfortably make micro-adjustments to your aim while still being able to flick at least 180 degrees. Once you find your perfect sensitivity, you will definitely start ranking up faster and maybe even immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
