i swear to god ive done everything i can to not be god fucking awful as scout

ive changed my sens from 4.5in to 5.6 in, ive played dm, mge, lobbies, pugs, etc

nothing fucking makes my aim more reliable

some days im a dm lord and other days im miserable and miss 6/6 shots and die immediately

most days its the later

my question is:

Is there something im not doing? is there a magical trick to aiming that im missing?

help
thanks

Do you have a decent mouse?
Do you have decent FPS?
Are you some degenerate using a TV with 30ms lag as a monitor?
5.6 in is also what i would consider high for scout. Most high level scouts i have played with used between 10 and 15 in.

yeah i got a G600 with a niceish mousepad
fps is normally >120 on a bad day
i have a normal monitor, tvs are gross

the only thing im worried about with lowering my sens is that i might run out of space on my desk even with my huge-ass mousepad

depends on what you consider "huge-ass". most scouts with lower sensitivities will lift up and reposition their mouse when it reaches the edge of the mousepad, just a matter of getting accustomed to it.

optimal net settings (these go in autoexec)

cl_cmdrate 67
cl_interp 0
cl_interp_ratio 1
cl_lagcompensation 1
cl_pred_optimize 2
cl_smooth 0
cl_smoothtime 0.01
cl_updaterate 66
rate 60000

try soldier v scout ammomod (the small arena forces you to hit shots or die instead of being mega passive and poking, which allows you to win while being shit) and practicing with host_timescale 1.2/3 (which makes matches feel like slo-mo)

also 144 hz

why are you worried about running out of space if you have a huge ass mousepad that doesn't make sense

g600 is a huge mouse with a laser sensor which means it has accel. I'm sure it's not your only issue but a lighter mouse with a good sensor might help. Also if you're running out of space below like 15" you're not using your mouse space correctly. The g600 I assume is hard to pick up because of it's size and shape so a lighter mouse with a different shape will probably help with that as well.

There is also no substitute for dm'ing and mge'ing all day if you're not scrimming or pugging.

you have 67 hours on scout and 566 on engi i think that's the reason. you can't really expect to be consistent at something you never play

Laser sensor itself doesn't mean accel, just a specific type of laser sensor that was very popular at the time and is also used in the G600. The G600 itself is a pretty bad mouse to be honest. I would recommend getting something like a Ninox Venator, Logitech G Pro or Dreammachines DM1 Pro S if you want and ambi, if you need an ergonomic shape go for the Roccat Kone Pure Owl-Eye or Logitech G403. You can also look at Zowies but imo they are overpriced currently because they sell old tech for premium price still.
