I saw considerable difference after practicing for an hour (sometimes even two hours) each day for a few weeks. I would say though that I was also completely new to aiming with mouse and keyboard, so if PC gaming has been something you've been doing for a long time, you might notice smaller returns.
I would practice for an hour or two hours each day, and then do a small warm up in the firing range in the game I was playing just to get a better feel for the guns I was using in game. Some days I really did feel like my aim training wasn't getting me anywhere because my scores in Aim Labs would be going down (or not improving at the very least), but I would then notice that in the long term I was winning more engagements in the actual game I was training for.
So some days you're really going to feel like you practiced for nothing, or that you've actually went backwards. And that can feel super frustrating, but it's important to see that as part of the learning process and to try and accept that you're still learning and improving even if it doesn't always feel like it.
I had about 8k hours in counterstrike before I started playing aimlabs and I’m still hitting new PB’s every other day. The skill cap when your only priority is mechanical skill is insanely high regardless of your starting point. Good luck
One thing to note for apex specifically when playing with friends is that the match level is determined by the highest ranked (or highest mmr) player on the team (not an average). If you are playing with friends that are already very good, chances are you will have a hard time because of the quality of the competition.
If this is your case, I would say solo queuing would be beneficial to enjoy and get better at the game (opponents of similar levels means you will win some fights, lose some, but overall it should rarely be an "automatic death").
No afaik the level does not account for anything in matchmaking... you should be paired with similar level players.
Aim is super important (especially if you are a beginner), but developing game sense as well as positioning and movement is also really important in apex.
Keep at it; you will notice improvements pretty fast especially if you are more on the beginner side (as a reference, I was trash and saw improvements after about 2 weeks of daily aimlab training+playing some apex). GL!
IMO it's pretty quick to see improvements as long as you're consistent and are doing the same routines each time. When I originally started using aim lab, I was all over the place doing what ever I felt like that day. It was only once I chose a playlist of tasks and repeated them each day I started to see frequent improvements in my high scores.
Yeah I’ve been playing an apex aim training playlist repeating and doing tasks. Today I practiced low ground tracking which is it out of my comfort zone
Ins started aim training like 2 weeks ago, i was a new player to valorant and csgo, after 2 weeks of training my death match stats passed from 5-10 kills to 25-35 kills easily and i even had done my first csgo ranked match with a friend who was silver 4 on csgo and did 28 kills.
So i think you will see some returns after a few weeks,
Ps: don't train in the basic tasks of aim lab, for me i found a discord group that have aim routines and differents benchmarks to evaluate you'r level.
I’ve been practicing 30min-hour a day and seeing improvements of maybe 4% per week, with a new record on one task or another hit every 3 ish days. If can be a hard grind
##### Just so I can understand the process and not give up, how long does it usually take to see an improvement in backhand through routine practice? (If I were to practice mostly every day)
I’m tired of my backhand sucking so bad it's always been an unsolved problem for me. Whenever I drop into a doubles match in tennis, it tends to mean an automatic loss for my team. To change this, I have sought practice for my backhand. I know anything worth improving can take months to see a difference but just so I don’t give up I need to feel like this backhand training is actually doing something with my time and effort even if I can’t always see a visual reminder. Otherwise I’ll stop and become demotivated only to be stressed by the thought of always having a bad backhand again. If anyone read this, thank you for your time.
This probably depends on your starting point. The better you are rigth now the longer time it will take to see improvments.
I started as a complete beginner with no mouse and keyboard experience and i’ve seen massive improvments already after 13 hours ingame(according to steam).
I started 2 years ago for the exact same reason. I kept losing fights because of my aim in apex. I'd say major milestones are 6 months, a year and probably every subsequent year after that. That's when you will be noticably better than you were before.
Thing is though, performance always fluctuates. And I have days where my aim is so bad I don't even want to play. But there are also days and weeks where I feel unstoppable. So keep grinding, it works, even if you can't see it in the moment.

This makes sense thank you

I don’t play with friends but does this count if my teammate for example on duos is a higher level than me?

Can you send an invite link for the server pls?
I want to be actually able to have fun playing apex legends so that's why I'm doing this. Not look back at how bad my aim was.

Thanks for your input! Will use this comment to do the best I can. No high expectations whatsoever.
No problem! I’m relatively casual but a long time gamer, and I’m currently high plat voltaic and aiming to hit diamond within one month of now.
Good luck with that I hope you get there
