hi.
I've always struggled with sticky aim against good players who aren't bot pubbers.
I always end up missing whether it be spamming from mid range, or defensive combat stickes. I just can't seem to be precise with anything, even after 200 hours. I try to grind dm and mge as much as possible, but nothing seems to be working.
Anyone have advice in terms of demo dm/ sticky aim? I'd really appreciate it.
edit : I've played on teams in the past, including one season of demo (silver if I remember). Its not from lack of practice, as I pub/dm/mge only with stickes. I think its just a bad habit I've developed or something along those lines. I thought tips from higher level players might help me to understand and find that habit.
I'm mostly looking for stuff like where I should be aiming/prefiring, aim low, or high, that kind of stuff.

Use some Mongo sensitivity, turn on acceleration, and flail your hands like an epileptic when you shoot

adjust your sensitivity until you feel something that comfortably moves where you desire to aim
practice with booties a lot and you'll feel the power of aiming stickies when they're you're only form of damage

Download tr_rocketshooting and other offline bot maps like that. Helps to make a good warm up too

Put some thought into your sticky aim, as in take your time shooting them. Better hit a good sticky every three seconds than no sticky at all. If a sticky misses, don't detonate it without reason.
Deny area in a way it forces opponents into choke points/other areas where you can do tons of damage with few shots.

fucking track with your goddamn projectiles instead of flailing your mouse and I grantee you will hit like 2x as many things

Play demo jump maps, helps a ton because u actually work out where the sticky will go at different levels of charge.

Watch demos and see how a spam master like WARHURYEAH or b4nny choose to place their stickies

Some people say that "sensitivity is just personal preference", and it largely is. However, make sure your sensitivity is functional. If you have to turn around a lot maybe 50cm/360 isn't good, and if you have trouble making really small hand movements 4cm/360 might not be for u either.

adysky HOLD MOUSE BUTTON WHEN LAUNCH BOMBS, so when you shoot better make it worth it.
Adysky summed this up perfectly in a thread on demo stuff not too long ago. I always try to have a sticky charging up whenever there's even the slightest possible threat of an enemy being in my sights. And if there isn't an enemy, I just hit a button that's basically the equivalent of hitting my quickswitch key twice. Every once in a while I even go on tr walkway and practice hitting bots whenever I get bored of honing my pipe aim. Also remember in charging stickies that you can charge a sticky up to the max charge and still put it right in front of you.

placing 2-3 stickies before deting in fairly close range can also help. It can kinda be like a defense thing or just for damage since one of the three will most likely hit, just kinda of making dumb traps someone might run into in close range, be a bit strategic and try and predict their movement
