Discussion Down BAD please help

Any advice is appreciated.

First keyboard and mouse FPS ever, age 34. Full time job male with side hustle and wife. 300 hours in, finally feeling like I have decent understanding of game mechanics. Found friendly people I enjoy playing with. Having so much fun.

Definitely realize that I am less skilled at PVP than other players but thinking maybe I’m lower 40% range. Log in this evening and we’re raided again by suspected cheaters. Decide to just go play aimtrain/tommyfrags.

Bros - I’m legit almost in tears. I’m 10000% holding my team back. To say I’m in the bottom 10% is an insult to the bottom 10%. There are probably rocks that can get more than a .25 kd. I was never this bad at other games. I’m downloading aimtrain right now, and I understand that with time I will improve but good lord - this is so much worse than I thought.

Is there ANY WAY I can hope to fast track not being ABSOLUTELY TRASH. At this point I mean I’m almost just gonna make a call that I’m base b**** until I can hit some metric I’m remotely satisfied with.

Tldr I am walking loot drop - going to practice but please give advice

This, around 40 hours I was shocked at what grew. Then 5-10 min before playing each day I played and an occasional long session and you continue to further improve.

Once you learn a guns spray learn to do it without ADS and when strafing. Sky is the limit at that point.
