In eSports, practice and training are key to hoping for results. Professional gamers train 8 to 12 hours a day in gaming houses. However, their training does not consist exclusively in playing the appropriate eSport title. In fact, there are training programs designed specifically to improve the skills of players.
These tools can be as much small tools available on the net as real programs to download . Their function is mainly to improve some characteristics of eSports athletes such as reflexes or accuracy . Some also have useful functions to improve players’ decision making or enhance their strategic knowledge of the game. So let’s see some of them used for the main eSports titles.
FPS Aim Trainer
The FPS Aim Trainer are a category of programs used to enhance their skills in FPS . They are mainly used to improve your aim and cursor pointing at moving targets. The most used Aim Trainer FPS is the Kovaak , a program available on Steam created specifically for titles like Apex Legends, CS GO and Fortnite.
These programs have different functions depending on the type of skill you want to improve. In a nutshell, they simulate game sessions in which you have to shoot at targets or follow certain targets with the cursor. At the end of each session a score is obtained , among other things the scores of the best players in the world are shown in the ranking. The types of training are many, in general professionals use these programs a few hours a week to improve their aiming ability and their aiming speed.
Last Hit trainer
The last hit trainer are special training tools used for eSports titles like MOBA . Their purpose, as the name suggests, is to improve their skills with last hitting. In MOBAs such as League of Legends or Dota2 , to get coins from minions (enemy units) in the lane you need to give them the last hit. It doesn’t matter how much damage is dealt, to get coins you have to give the last hit or you get nothing. For this reason last hitting is one of the most important skills in these types of games.
To improve in this sense there are the last hit trainers or programs that simulate the lane phases of the MOBAs with the minions to be last hit. There are different difficulties and types of training to choose from. In each session, the damage inflicted, the amount of minions to hit or their layout in lane can vary. These programs are often underestimated but even professionals use them to hone their skills or catch up with the last hit after periods of rest.
Oversumo
A very famous application used by Overwatch players , one of the most famous eSports titles, is Oversumo . This application has several features and is complete with everything an Overwatch player could need. The aim of Oversumo is to replace a real coach and provide the player with everything he needs to improve in the game.
Rather than a direct training and simulation tool such as Aim Trainers, Oversumo collects match data and processes it. It provides guidance on each character in the game, advises how to use them and how to play against them. Depending on the data it collects from its games, it processes the results and indicates which aspects to improve and which errors to correct . It also contains a tracking tool to keep track of the results of the best players and always know which strategies are most used.
Smiterino
The most downloaded training tool for League of Legends is Smiterino . Available both in web version and in app version for Android, Smiterino is the most effective tool in its field. Specifically, this application improves one of the most decisive skills on League of Legends: the smite . Let’s talk for those who don’t know about a spell that junglers use (one of the roles of the game) to do huge damage to neutral monsters. Many games have been disrupted by the so-called “smite steal” (theft of targets through smite) carried out by the enemy jungler in desperate situations.
Smiterino simulates, one after the other, different game situations. The player’s goal is to smash the monster in question, dragon or baron, and avoid missing the shot . By registering on the site you can also obtain a ranking which, depending on the results, can increase or decrease. Each time the game simulates new scenarios with always different champions and unpredictable situations. Some Korean teams ask their junglers to keep smiting skills trained by doing periodic sessions on smiterino.
