Why are my hands suddenly freezing cold and my aim getting worse? I play a lot of competitive FPS and recently this started happening out of nowhere. Every time I start playing, my hands get ice-cold, my fingers feel completely stiff, and my micro-adjustments are totally gone.

Sitting on my hands doesn't help at all (maybe for 10 seconds), and I have zero budget to buy hand warmers right now, so it has to be a free solution.

It's ruining my consistency and making me tilt because I know I can aim better than this. Has anyone else had this happen out of nowhere? What free tricks, stretches, or workouts actually help get the blood flowing before a match?

Why is my aim getting worse and my mental completely gone?

I’m Platinum 3 (was close to ranking up, now deranking) and the last few weeks have just been downhill. My aim feels worse every day and I don’t feel consistent at all anymore.

Biggest problem is my mental. If I die early, especially pistol, I instantly tilt and can’t focus for the rest of the game. It’s getting so bad that even in Deathmatch I get annoyed and play worse.

I used to do ~20 min KovaaK’s daily + warm-up (range + 2–3 DMs), but I stopped KovaaK’s because of time. Now it’s just warm-up + DMs + ranked, and everything feels off. I also took a short break already, didn’t really help.

Thinking about going back to a simple routine with KovaaK’s + a few DMs and maybe less ranked, but I’m not sure.

Has anyone else had this? What actually helped you fix your mental and aim? Is it better to focus on DM/KovaaK’s only for a while, and do things like Guardian or Sheriff only?
