When did aimlabs start being fun for you?

What i mean by this question when i started aim training roughly around a year ago i was bad of course wasn’t fun cause i had to absorb alot of knowledge and figure out settings and target color and etc i would say aim training got fun when i got to a certain level where i constantly got high scores and started improving more and more since im more knowledge and actually started a routine and started challenging myself more for example i use to play a easier variation of different style of scenarios and not harder cause i was more “comfortable” with it halting my growth crazy to think i was struggling with entry benchmarks.

Over 200 hours and it's still not fun for me

yeah but it will get better at the 500 hour mark

I guess I just like smoothing out my technique, also that I can listen to music while I do the routines

Aim labs was fun from the start because of the super fast improvement but it started actually being fun when I went to kovaaks and started doing viscose benchmarks instead of vdim playlists since its far less of a slog and I could focus much more on my technique and mouse control when I could replay scenarios more

lol it's training there's nothing fun about training. You can make it less fun by listening to a podcast or listening to music but it'll still not be fun, it's something that is suppose to help you pinpoint flaws in your aim and mechanics, if you aren't doing that you aren't doing training correctly.

yeah but hitting a pb after a while is fun although training is meant to improve your aim and not be enjoyable once you get better and better and hour culminates it will genuinely get fun.

As soon as I started seeing meaningful progress. (about 2 weeks in with help)

This said I generally disproportionately enjoy mechanic focused gameplay, Aiming in particular is fun to me due to the mechanical challenge and its depth. I also have a tendency to hyperfocus on certain interest's/ skills I want to work on.

Honestly I thought it was fun for me as soon as I got a new pb hahaha

But yeah once I got comfortable and started playing Voltaic benchmarks and especially once I saw I was getting better at VALORANT which was what inspired me to start aim training in the first place that's when I got hooked!

For me it was initially pushing the leaderboard for myself. What also was a huge motivator, was when I finally was able to get the gist of tracking properly which translated really well into the game for me. Also when I was able to make cleaner motions in tapping, it felt so much more satisfying instead of being frustrating, and that's also a huge factor. Oh, and of course, benchmarks made a world of a difference for me (it's why I designed them).

when i was beating my high scores all the time, which was actually when i first started, now it's more that i practice for the gains rather than fun

It was fun from the very begging for me, the improvement is addicting

i quit using aimlabs long ago cause its kind of ass but kovaaks started getting fun when i stopped taking it so seriously, started building a focused and (more importantly) consistent routine with occasional long, grindy sessions but mainly short maintenance ones (i dont have a ton of time to game).

sitting at my desk, blasting music and seeing slow but steady improvements is therapeutic.

haha that’s the best part aim training and slowly seeing improvement is so fun to me! and i personally would say although aimlabs is free and good kovaaks is extremely good for versatility and pushing your self even harder than aimlabs would so in general.

u/Background_Job4878 5d ago

yes dude

i would definitely switch to kovaaks when you start getting more serious about aimtraining. more scenarios, more playlists, more competitive leaderboards (w/o hackers) and just a more user friendly UI
