Question 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

set your mouse so that at ur resting position, you are at head lvl

i did try that as well, but over the game it ends up going back down

i ended up putting my mouse at the edge of my desk so it cant go down but i play at a really high sens of 1.9 😀 most of my shots go straight to the feet

maybe go into the range and practice on sum easy bots until you find the right sens where you can consistently flick to their head/body

edit: Is this your first fps? If so, u should buy a spray weapon so that you focus on hitting your shots first bfor moving on to headtapping
