I've been playing online FPSs for years now, but I've always been absolutely terrible at them. I can maybe get a 1:1 K:D ratio on a good round, but my average is probably closer to 1:3 or 1:4. This has been pretty consistent in every FPS I've played over the years. I'm not sure what I'm really doing wrong. I use cover. I try to flank with my teammates. I throw grenades to flush enemies out of cover. But somehow it always seems like they're faster, more accurate, better able to get the drop on me.
Is it just because I only play them for a few weeks or months before moving on? Is this something that gets better with practice, or do I have some kind of undiagnosed motor deficiency?
The mouse sens thing was 100% my problem for the longest time.
A friend of mine used to be a semi-pro CS player, he was spectating me play Apex and asked "You've never considered your DPI or sensitivity have you?" He walked me though this process mentioned. Before I could do a 360 by moving my mouse a tiny tiny bit, and through the process it became a whole arm movement. The difference was night and day, my aim was significantly better immediately.
Here is a decent guide.
I turned my mouse tuning waaaaaaay down when I started playing Hunt Showdown and it's mde a big difference.
Honestly the TLDR version of this advice is basically "keep turning down your sensitivity until you can't enjoy the game anymore."
