Improving at the game

Just stumbled across some of these places recently. I thought I would share to help others get better as well:

I also think we could use this forum to help each other improve (I know I need it). Sometimes it is difficult to see our own mistakes but others can easily notice them

Feel free to share other resources as well

Looks like some good links there. There are so many possible ways to suggest improvement.

I'd say within our TG group here the main thing I notice that separates the lower end(around 2000) from the higher end(close to 3000 - lets ignore Baron:p ) of the group is their positioning/situational awareness. The lower end tends to position themselves poorly at times and it leads to them getting killed prematurely(before ults are used) which obviously turns a team fight in the enemies favor.

On a personal level with this game - I'd say other than just getting very comfortable with the game from a lot of playtime my main improvement came from lowering my sensitivity and getting a new mousepad. My aim isn't Baron level but it has improved a good amount since I got the game. Situational awareness has always been a strong side of mine as I'm sure some BF vets would attest to. Areas I probably need to work on are general communication and ult management. I need to be more vocal about when I have ultimate and how the team will use/combo it.

+1 on lowering sensitivity. At the beginning of Season 2 I got into zarya, but was having trouble tracking w/ the beam. I lowered my sensitivity a LOT and hit up the practice range for a bit... Takes a minute to get the new muscle memory down, but once you do, it makes a HUGE difference. You sacrifice the 'head on a fast swivel' and it takes some desk space, but low sensitivity is where it's at. (There's a good reason the pros use.)

FWIW, I'm using 1600dpi and 2.5 in-game. (That adds up to about 8" of mouse pad to do a full 180.)
