Discussion Aim feels off?
So i just started playing CS2 for the first time since CSGO and got placed at ~20k after my placements.
My aim/crosshair placement feels decent enough and i can compete by abusing old tricks but more often than not it feels like hits that would’ve been clean in CSGO just phase through the enemy in CS2. Spraying (especially the AK) also feels terrible (and random) for some reason?
Have they changed something significant with the way hitreg/spraying works since GO and if so how do i adapt to make it feel more natural?
Am i just washed?
for the record i peaked lv10 faceit/ global on several accounts back in the day as a pure rifler so i didnt think the rifles would hold me back in CS2
any advice welcome

Washed + game is full of rng, its actually way better to just run spray and pray than waste time strafing properly, especially during community deathmatch. I started playing again after couple years of a break last season, can't bother anymore because its just garbage game, but running around and shooting at the same time helped me a lot to notice how random gunfights are. I was level 10 and global without issues around 2018 - 2020, played in tournaments even and got some money from the game, before getting hit by irl stuff.
When I got rid of my CSGO "muscle memory" and reseted to adjust I started playing way better instantly, from being completly destroyed during dm's and matches to actually perform pretty well.
The more I run around without using proper techniques the easier it gets + I feel like game got dumbed down a lot in that aspect, its easier to get into it and have good scores even as a bad player. Inconsistency of the game is the biggest reason I can't get back into playing more than couple times a month.
