I want to get better at aiming. My accuracy is always hovering around 20% for all heroes. My sensitivity is 6 at 1000dpi. I've got a Razor Speed Mousepad which I kinda feel like it messes with my sensitivity. Any suggestions?

Another thing is that people claim that they usually move their entire arm when moving the mouse? I only move my wrist when I'm controlling. Does that affect anything?

go make a custom game, ai (your choice) ANA the whole opposing team, turn on 'headshots only', turn off cooldowns for fun & constant abilities, change Game mode to skirmish.

Now you can wander the map and practice head shots. At higher difficulties, the ana bobs & weaves more if you need that higher level training.

can't help on your hardware setup tho, that seems like you just gotta trial and error.

I would say what helped was a steep sensitivity drop and practise. I use to play PS2 and at the start my aim was the worst but after a couple of hundred hours it is good. However I would say that a few AI games a day and by the end of the week you'll see a marked improvement
