Hello, I got Splatoon 2 the day after it's release and I've been playing it fairly casually (150 hours) and I would like to get into playing it a bit more. I've found that I've been having a pretty big problem (according to most things I've read) with aiming and I can't seem to break my habit.
First of all, back when I was new, I didn't play motion controls and couldn't aim... like at all. After doing some research, I found that it was best to play with motion controls and I switched to doing that. I still wasn't great at aiming but I kept practicing and became... slightly better... but I was developing a bad habit which I didn't realize until later.
Around November, I still wasn't great at aiming, I had jumped from the Tri-Slosher to the Octobrush when the Tri-Slosher was nerfed and was realizing that I should probably start practicing something that wasn't really easy and over-powered. I decided that I would try to figure out how to aim and in doing so I realized that I was essentially just using the motion controls and wasn't using the stick at all. I decided that I should try and stop that by practicing on the dummies although I ended out just going back to full motion controls in games.
Now I'm here, I've actually gotten half-decent at aiming with just motion controls but I don't think I would be able to improve any further without using the stick in combination with it. I was wondering if there was anything that I should try to quit doing this or if it's somehow okay to do what I'm doing (although everything I've ever read has said that, when using motion controls, it's best to use a combination of the stick and motion). I hope that eventually I can get out of A but I can't see it happening with what I currently have going on. Thanks!
