Started today, tapping, burst or learning spray patterns?

I'm new to Valorant, but a seasoned player of both Fortnite (Bloom system) and Apex Legends (Spray patterns system). The biggest shock in valorant to me was how I can jump a completely unaware enemy, open fire on them and still not be able to kill them before they kill me. I'm doing research rn but most tutorials tell me to do bursts with strafing in between, but then when I watch actual ranked gameplay, it's someone using spray patterns and holding shoot down to kill the enemy. What's the best way to do it? I know it sounds like a lazy post but I genuinely want to know so I don't develop any bad habits in the long run

oh yeah a tip
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
He was straight up winning his gunfights
sb30
sb3011mo ago
dont watch skillcapped i mean watch a few but dont binge watch them
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
What's skillcapped
sb30
sb3011mo ago
i did that before and ive wasted time doing it its a youtube channel that offers coaching but they repeat the same things over and over again and just rebrand it
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Yeah there's channels like that for other games I play too
sb30
sb3011mo ago
as a different name yeah not useful at all repeat the same things over and over again
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
The worst thing is channels like that recruit actually cracked players to shill for them
sb30
sb3011mo ago
so you should always tap like two tap burst when you are at 10m-30m
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Two taps and then strafe?
sb30
sb3011mo ago
yeah 30m+ you one tap burst also try playing games and having your crosshair on the enemies for 1 second then shoot a single bullet
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
So I'm guessing the reason Brush was spraying is because he's already super good and doesn't have to be on his A game against these guys?
sb30
sb3011mo ago
cant watch the video rn but if he is immortal and hes playing against low elo then yeah he can do whatever and still win
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Yup that's something I'm planning on doing too
sb30
sb3011mo ago
because he knows what to do
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
So I don't panic
sb30
sb3011mo ago
yeah what other games did you play before val
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Any recommendations for gameplays I can watch to learn best practices from?
sb30
sb3011mo ago
any pro player
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Fortnite, I reached the highest arena ranking and used to grind 1 hour of KovaaKs every day Apex I played for a couple months
sb30
sb3011mo ago
maybe like cryocells demon1 jinggg (if you want to play raze) c0m
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
I'm thinking of just maining Sage for now
sb30
sb3011mo ago
oh for sage watch grim
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Because I heard most people don't like being healer
sb30
sb3011mo ago
dont play agents to suit others
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Idm because that way I'm kinda useful
sb30
sb3011mo ago
play agents you want to play and think are fun you will improve 10x faster
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
I just like shooting and aiming Should I pick a duelist then?
sb30
sb3011mo ago
yeah reyna and jett are good options
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Bet, I'll go for jett since everybody picks Reyna
sb30
sb3011mo ago
reyna helps you excell if you are able to get at least one kill every round and jett helps you live long enough to take many gunfights nah they are both picked as much as the other
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
So any jett maining pros I can watch?
sb30
sb3011mo ago
demon1
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
So I can pick up good aiming habits as well as legend specific stuff
sb30
sb3011mo ago
cryocells tenZ
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Bet, will do
sb30
sb3011mo ago
tenZ is kinda weird
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Ooh isn't that the aimbot guy
sb30
sb3011mo ago
i think he kinda flicks too much its hard to learn from him plus he is trying to learn omen for pro play
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Yeah, I heard he doesn't really follow conventions
sb30
sb3011mo ago
so i dont reccomend watching him yeah hard to learn from him you will learn bad habits like flicking way too much cuz u see him do it
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Yeah, same thing as Fortnite and Apex
sb30
sb3011mo ago
but he only does it because 1. doesnt care about ranked 2. play for clips 3. he is good enough to flick a large distance and be able to hit the shot most of the time
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Gotta stay humble
sb30
sb3011mo ago
watch demon1 he's really good on jett
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Yeah the playing for clips bit seems true for the goat in every game
sb30
sb3011mo ago
if you want a less ego duelist then watch cryo
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Guess that's all you can do when you're that good
sb30
sb3011mo ago
full ego watch demon1 but i have to explain that ego doesnt mean you just peek shit
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Bet I'll check em both out
sb30
sb3011mo ago
but ego means that you know that you are smarter than the enemies and know that you will make the right descition every time
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Yeah I heard you can't really do that in valo because good or not you still die in 4 shots
sb30
sb3011mo ago
ego doesnt mean you just peek everyone cuz u believe ur better ego is more like im gonna peek this because i know the fight im taking is more advantageous for me than the enemy instead of "im gonna peek this cuz i am mechanically better than them"
BeiRay
BeiRay11mo ago
this is ego, the one above is not you believe you are better so you take the gunfight
sb30
sb3011mo ago
ehh depends on smart ego or not ig
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
I'll check both of them out on YT For balance
sb30
sb3011mo ago
thats more of like the low elo ego u see ur instalock reyna or jett peek everything cuz they think they're better
BeiRay
BeiRay11mo ago
yes then they die go 0-15 blame teamates
sb30
sb3011mo ago
even though they may or may not know that the fight they're taking is bad for them
BeiRay
BeiRay11mo ago
yes pain but this guys unranked
sb30
sb3011mo ago
yeah but he'll climb fast
BeiRay
BeiRay11mo ago
if he is na he just needs good luck
sb30
sb3011mo ago
pretty good at fortnite which means hes pretty good at tracking
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Is there a big difference between regions?
sb30
sb3011mo ago
plus he plays aimlabs which emans he's pretty disciplined its more of cope
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
It's kinda disappointing ADS is useless in Valorant though
sb30
sb3011mo ago
but some servers are more toxic becuase it was built on a toxic community like eu is generally more toxic than na but thats it
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
My ADS aim is easily 2x better than my hipfire because of how bad hipfire is in both fn and apex
sb30
sb3011mo ago
coping that, "im only in iron becuase of poeple in _ servers are demons and if i got put in any other server i would be radiant" is cope ads is good for few shots
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
EU moment tbh (I live here)
sb30
sb3011mo ago
dont try to take straight gunfights with ads though use ads when you want to hold angles becuase it makes your first bullet more accurate too but no ads = faster firerate and movement
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
If someone kills me and I see this little round crosshair symbol next to the gun it means they were ADS, right?
sb30
sb3011mo ago
no it means they headshot you on the killfeed
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Yup Okay makes sense
sb30
sb3011mo ago
thats a headshot yeah
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
I'll watch the players you recommended then Thanks a lot
sb30
sb3011mo ago
you're welcome im only diamond 3 so im not the best for learning gamesense from gamesense comes from playing the game more
globgogagalab
globgogagalab11mo ago
it depends on the situation

Spraying is usually bad unless they're in your face
BeiRay
BeiRay11mo ago
remember, your taking advice about cope from a "uwufurryfemboy"
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Yeah but I'm a lot worse in that area What's the rank below iron Wood? So I should learn spray patterns for if they're in my face? Or at that point it's confirmed accuracy anyway Pretty sure his whole profile's satire though Esp the bio Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if EU servers in this game end up being sweatier and more depressing compared to NA That's how it was in fortnite, apex and brawlhalla
BeiRay
BeiRay11mo ago
no people are like that nowadays just dont touch frankfurt unless u have no choice.
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
I'm in Hungary so that's literally my only choice
BeiRay
BeiRay11mo ago
well your screwed
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Guess I'm lucky I don't know German
BeiRay
BeiRay11mo ago
the amount of smurfs is crazy and then you have the desmurfers which are the people that got boosted cause of the smurfs
TheLevhart
TheLevhartOP11mo ago
Only reason I'm playing valo is because 1. My laptop is ass 2. My classmates play it and I wanna be cool So I just have to beat them I'm fine with getting clapped by the smurfs Although I can see why it'd be annoying Isn't that good I love beating boosted people
BeiRay
BeiRay11mo ago
not when they are on your team...
globgogagalab
globgogagalab11mo ago
they are rng lol just learn that u need to control ur recoil then spraying is luck
kesar
kesar11mo ago
Yes, spray control helps a lot in the beginning either crouch or pull down and to the right very slightly
JSN
JSN11mo ago
Spray patterns are semi random. Not worth learning
stawp
stawp11mo ago
at least learning spray control is a must
JSN
JSN11mo ago
U don't gotta learn anything, just pull down when you shoot.
stawp
stawp11mo ago
theres more to it idk it took me a few days to master it it's not learning ig its getti used to it
sb30
sb3011mo ago
there’s muscle memory to pulling down your spray
