No, you are wrong.
You don't properly read my post. A 240hz monitor will not make you a god-like player but it will give you a huge advantage.
You keep saying that "Crosshair placement, spray control, aim" etc.
I confirm they are the most important ones but the gear is important is well. Maybe not as important as game sense, crosshair placement etc but it does matter.
Imagine Shroud vs s1mple on CS GO, or Shaiko vs Pengu in Rainbow Six Siege. Give one of them 144hz and the other 240hz. Let them train in their respective refresh rate over a week and after a week create 1vs1 match. The one with 240hz will win for sure.
Linus's video is done with a small population of gamers with a certain game with a certain game mode. In the video, shroud confirms gear is important too. Basically, the evidence you are referencing contradicts you. TOPLEL. OMEGALUL.
If a Youtuber makes a video about it, it must be true, right? Of course, no.
My evidence is based on experience. Get yourself a 240hz and see the difference.
I play most of the FPS games out there extremely competitively. Diamond-Plat in R6S and Faceit lvl 6 in CS GO.
I played with both 165hz and 240hz. The difference is there.
The pros and high lvl players prefer 240hz over 144hz IPS for a reason.
So, what is your point? The gear does not matter? LOL. You obviously need education.
I never said it doesn't matter all I said was it won't give you a huge advantage.
If your crosshair placement, reaction times, spray control arent on point then it doesn't matter what monitor you have.
You said monitor will give you a huge advantage.
What I am saying it is minimal at best.
Yes the difference is there. But gear makes very little difference after a certain point.
I'm willing to bet good money S1mple would destroy shroud if simple used 60hz and shroud 240hz.
Thr benefit of a faster refresh is minimal. Not huge like you are making out.
It will be situational too.
Sign up to the leetify beta. My time to damage is 340ms what is yours?
S1MPLE I believe is around 200ms.
Comparing 144Hz vs 240Hz the monitor will go from displaying a frame every 6.94ms at 144Hz down to one frame every 4.17ms at 240Hz.
So 4ms vs 7ms let's say S1mple is using 144hz and I am using 240. It doesn't matter that s1mple sees me 3ms later his reaction time is still 140 ms faster than mine. His crosshair placement is also a lot better than mine. His spray control a lot better.
He will beat me 99 times out of 100. Even though I see him first. Because 3ms doesn't beat 140ms.
Are you seriously saying that 3ms gives you a huge advantage? It's so minimal that in reality it makes very little difference.
Gear after a certain point makes little to no difference. Only at the pro level it will have a bigger effect because the difference between them is marginal and they are so good they can take the most advantage out of those 3ms.
The average player will see no benefit in reality other than smoothness on screen.
