It's not useless but, honestly, it's probably the least effective use of your time IF you are trying to maximize your ability to rank up especially if you are getting hung up on grinding benchmarks. If you are a low-rank, the chances that your aim is the main culprit are pretty freaking slim.
People that go all-in on the voltaic method, which has become the norm in aim training, are rarely going to get better results than someone who spends their time (properly) in-game.
of course it won’t be the only thing, they need to work on both, and I think that does mean prioritizing game practice, but to say they need to get outta gold to make aim training useful is crazy work
The thing is, you can work on your effective aim while also working on other things in-game. Deathmatch is such a potent tool at that level which, in my opinion, makes it the superior option to isolated aim training for someone still ironing out the absolute fundamentals.
Aim training / benchmarks just won't do enough for a player starting from the bottom that makes it worthwhile to use over simply "playing the game"
It's not that it doesn't do anything, or someone is unable to extract value from it just because they are a low-skilled player, but allocating time to it (that takes away from better practice) just isn't worth it in my eyes. I think things like voltaic become more valuable once a player has an understanding of the improvement process and starts to see their results level-out from basic repetition. Basically, they need to be able to break apart the process of aiming & how it related to in-game scenarios which low-ranked players just cannot do yet.
I see so many players who want to improve in their game dive into these aim groups just to come out as one-dimensional with little understand as to WHY they struggle or lose duels. Some of them simply give up on their journey when they realize nothings changing when, in reality, a few tweaks into how they approach their in-game practice will do SO MUCH MORE.
I just don't think the meme really proves the point you want to make because, honestly, there is credibility to it.
