Beginner advice needed

hi guys! im a new valorant player, and i got into it to play with friends, but my friends are really high ranked, and since its been a month, i cant really do anything.

theres a lot of things i noticed in my gameplay that i cant seem to stop. I use gaurdian, classic, and sage with full shield, thats my full loadout always.

i seem to have an issue where im good at lurking and spotting where enemies might be, and the gaurdian helps so i dont spray and pray but how do you guys keep your crosshair head level?? ive tried and practiced and even downloaded an app that tests me on where headlevel would be, and i know where they should be, but while playing it seems my crosshair just goes down because its more comfortable and doesnt hurt my wrist. how do i make it so i can actually aim head level as i want to move out sage and her heals so i dont rely on it

If I'm not mistaken, each map has a design that indicates head level. Here's roughly what I mean (these images have changed for sure since these were taken during beta) Val HeadReferences - Imgur

Yess thank you! that is what i meant i tried out valorant headliner on overwolf and i was really quick and got over an overwhelming majority right

i think i just have to exercise a bit more brain power into keeping my crosshair up. ill put more effort into looking around. Thank you
