We've all heard it before, stick to one sensitivity to get good aim and if you change it you'll ruin your muscle memory. If this is true though, how can the best players change their sens all the time and still aim well?
The game I'm playing at a few points that isn't valorant or apex is called the finals, its free on steam and rly fun c:
To regular viewers, sry if this vid rehashes a lot of things u already know, ik this topic is a bit done to death with things like the VT article and how often its said in the discord but there aren't really any self contained videos about it so I thought I'd make one myself! Especially after all the comments I got on my accel vid telling me that I was wrong actually because accel ruins muscle memory. I hope the writing/editing make it an interesting watch if u already know everything here at least ^^
