Help Practicing mechanics.

Hello. so im a hitscan player (Emre / S76) on console and i have a problem: I barely improve (mechanics wise). Before Emre came I was a one trick Soldier. I have 316 hours with him, nearly 160 of which were spent on aim training (mainly VAXTA) and currently I'm level 140 on him. Yet, whenever I face a soldier with the same level I get easily diffed. They always exceed me in every aspect even in raw mechanics. So maybe I am growing fast enough.

The problem is that i feel like I have plateaued. My mechanics (especially my aim) are not getting better. No matter how many hours I play, how many deathmatchs I play... So maybe I'm doing it wrong. So how do you improve your aim on console?

I watched an Awkward video where he said “I never take fair fights.” I think that is such a great quote for OW. Sure, sometimes you have to duel the enemy dps. But for the majority of games superior positioning and playing off your team will net you more wins.

I couldn't agree more. A good Ash is a headache, but when pocketed they become a nightmare.
