[Top 5] VALORANT Best Sensitivity (Used By The Best Players In The World)

When it comes to VALORANT, you generally want to have lower sensitivity than on tracking-based games like Call of Duty or Apex Legends. This is because, in VALORANT, a single click can instantly kill an enemy, therefore, landing your first shot is much more important than having your crosshair follow your opponent. Lower sensitivities make it so you have way more leeway when micro-adjusting to the head.

Here at Gamers Decide we’re going to break down 5 of the best sensitivity settings used by pro players. It’s important to keep in mind that sometimes, getting used to one sensitivity might be better in the long run than switching back and forth between different sensitivities. In order to convert these settings so you can actually use them, we suggest using a sensitivity converter. With that said, here are our picks:

1. shroud

Over the past years, Michael "shroud" Grzesiek has become one of the most praised, retired, yet, professional players of all time. Coming from CS:GO and playing for the one and only Cloud9, he has managed to become one of the most viewed VALORANT streamers as of today. In 2019 he peaked over 100000 subscribers on twitch and he is still in the top 100 in terms of subscriber count on the platform.

2. ScreaM

Although currently not as popular a streamer as shroud, Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom was also very praised and loved by the CS:GO community back in the day. He had acquired the fame of being the one tap god, known by the phrase “they talk about my one taps.” Because he wasn’t really getting signed on any of the best CS:GO teams, ScreaM pursued a career in VALORANT, where he was signed on Team Liquid. He is currently one of the most skilled players, managing to rack up an insane amount of kills in professional play.

3. Hiko

Being one of the longest-standing pros in the scene, Spencer "Hiko" Martin started playing CS ever since he was 12. Having been through compLexity, Cloud9, and Liquid, he currently plays for 100 Thieves and is considered a clutch master and one of the biggest brains in competitive VALORANT. On top of that, he is also a very successful VALORANT twitch streamer, having thousands of subscribers on the platform.

4. ShahZam

Shahzeeb "ShahZaM" Khan was playing on B-tier teams on CS:GO, until he took a big risk and moved to VALORANT, where he played on Sentinels. This risk paid out because ShahZam is not only IGL of Sentinels, but his team also won the biggest VALORANT tournament yet, where he played finals against Fnatic. This pro player also streams on twitch and has a pretty big following, as he is very entertaining, yet, professional.

Settings:

Dpi: 400
Sensitivity: 0.53
Windows sensitivity: 6
Scoped Sensitivity: 1

Mouse type:

LOGITECH G703 HERO
Wireless mouse with an average weight (95 grams)

5. Boaster

Jake “Boaster” Howlett is one of the most eccentric IGLs in the competitive scene. He is often very goofy and comedic, however, don’t let that fool you because his strategic prowess is unparalleled and got his team Fnatic all the way to finals, where they lost against Sentinels. Boaster also streams on twitch, where he educates and coaches his viewers by analyzing his matches. Overall, this player is extremely talented and has managed to become very proficient at VALORANT, despite not being so big during his CS:GO days.
