In Overwatch as in any competitive online action and shooting game, aiming plays a vital role, in order to win a game, the most experienced players base their success on being able to have total control when aiming, doing the most damage possible, and adding many points, a common practice is the headshot, this requires a higher degree of precision when aiming.
In the game as such, there are 21 heroes available, each one with its advantages and weaknesses, this means that you will have to practice with each one of them, and get to know which one you feel more comfortable with when playing, this is very important because each one has weapons that favor them more than others.
How to train your aim in Overwatch?
There is one room that most players go to, when they want to practice with a weapon or just want to improve their game a bit, and this is the target practice room.
In it we will find a series of robots that will move frantically, trying not to hit you, a useful tip may be to point to a specific part of the robot’s body, and follow it with your sights to get used to the movement.
Another thing you can try, is to go towards the robot without aiming and when you are close, aim quickly and try to hit it, you can start aiming at the torso, when you get the hang of it try aiming at the head.
A good practice would be to start a custom game and choose “ANA” as the enemy, ANA is not programmed to give you headshots, and you will have more time to practice and master it.
How to improve my aim if I play on console?
When it comes to playing on PC we don’t have much of a problem getting used to it since the mouse has much more pressure than the joystick, for this reason there are some tips that we can apply to improve this and not be an impediment when playing.
The first advice is something classic when you play on console, the auto aim or help to aim. We must deactivate it because it can move our sights at a time that we do not want; This will depend on each person since there are those who make the game much easier for them, but others do not recommend it.
If we play on console it is advisable to gradually increase the sensitivity, on PC this is the opposite but on console at the beginning we have a very low sensitivity, and if they are attacking us from different angles we will not turn the camera as fast with a low sensitivity .
In Overwatch you have the possibility to exchange the sights, this can help us to have a little more precision, you must go to the shooting range, select the character of your choice and go using the sights one by one, seeing which one seems more comfortable to you , you select it and start playing.
Workshops that can help us improve our aim
The Workshop allows us to add community-made content to our base game, there are a variety of maps you can play on, but here we will focus on talking about some maps designed specifically for aiming practice.
Advanced Training Range, is the first map that we will talk about, to start we have to add two “ANA”, in medium difficulty; then 3 “Lucios”, in difficult and finally a “Zeniatta”, in easy difficulty.
Once this is done we have to choose our character, and the game will begin; It has several game modes, among them the “Death of the Pikes”, “The game with Zenniatta” and “Improve jumping with Ana”.
The second map is Aim Practice, when entering the map we will have to press “E” and it will send us to the shooting zone on this map it is recommended to use “MCcree”; A red ball will appear in front of us that we will have to shoot and it will change position.
The third map is Aim Trainer, when entering the map we will have a menu with 4 spheres, we will have the modes; “Three spheres, objective mode and Chasing”, we can choose any of these.
