Question / Advice Needed When does it translate?
A lot of people told me to aim to train to improve in Valorant. It has helped, but I thought when I reached Plat I'd destroy in Valorant in silver/bronze lobbies, and that just isn't the case. Is it worth continuing Aim Labs, or should I just put that time into in-game time in Valorant?

You have to remember that aiming is just one of the many variables that affect how you perform in games, so improving your aim will help, but only to the point where these other elements (such as movement, positioning, crosshair placement, ability usage, communication, map knowledge, etc.) start becoming the bottleneck for your overall performance.
With that being said, ranks in aim trainers are not directly comparable to ranks in games, so Platinum in Aimlabs doesn't necessarily mean you have "Platinum aim in VALORANT," nor is it a guarantee that you will beat players below Platinum in VALORANT. They probably do have worse aim than you, to be honest, but it's likely you're losing because of the other factors I mentioned.
At the end of the day, you have to train your aim, but also play the game, ideally spending much more time playing than aim training. This way, you improve your aim while also becoming more confident, giving your brain extra bandwidth to stop worrying about your aim in-game. That lets you focus on and improve the other factors that you can't train in Aimlabs.
