should i stop counterstrafing and only deadzone?
I heard tenz talk about counterstrafing being useless. Im already used to counterstrafing (80 hours on the game), is deadzoning that much better than counterstrafing?

Deadzoning is simply counterstrafing while simultaneously shooting an accurate shot, with the intention of maintaining the change in direction to usually return to cover immediately after the aforementioned shot. The term “dead zone” refers to the moment in time at which you stop and change directions, and therefore are accurate
If you don’t intend to dead zone, counter strafing is negligible just because of the way that movement accuracy works in valorant
Your accuracy gradually increases as your speed decreases, and you lose velocity quickly after releasing a movement key, meaning that you also become accurate quickly, even without a counter strafe
