I want to give my thoughts on this since this sentiment has been misattributed to me a couple times, I don't think there's ever a point where aim training stops being worth it or stops helping in games based on being a certain rank but I do think there is a trend of it becoming less useful for people in game when they reach the advanced ranks.
In my opinion this comes down to time investment, around the jump to grandmaster the requirements get significantly harder to achieve and people who are motivated to hit them regardless tend to end up putting in more of their relative time to do so.
This is where the issues with in game translation come from, they are playing the game less so they will see the benefits of their training less. If you are using it alongside playing an fps game to identify and work on your weaknesses, then it will help you get better in game, regardless of what rank you are. When balancing my time correctly and playing both games and aim trainers actively I noticed benefits in game all the way up to celestial on the categories I pushed that far.
@twizzzyyfv Completely underestimating how much rank perception bias and the current pro scene playing 5v5 affects the number of players opting to play 6v6 over 5v5. 8% of the total is probably a proportion of the green side in the image. That's why it's debated as the "main mode," moron.
Also, since it's becoming more of a given that aim trainers DO WORK, the next goalpost everyone is naturally going to shift to is "at what point does it stop working?"
And that goalpost will just continuously shift until it's at "Celestial Complete" or something else absurd.
Anti-aim trainer propaganda from people too lazy to click some dots or pick up good habits with their mechanics.
We have multiple examples now of aimers who reached Nova+ and continued to improve both in game and in the trainer, pro players and casuals alike.

“ActiBlizzard has no intention of making their main mode playable, but plans to cope harder. Survey feedback favors 6v6 clearly, but they are confident in not giving the players what they want.”
New 6v6 Philosophy in #Overwatch 👥
Blizzard currently has no intention of making 6v6 the main mode, but plans to put more work into its balance and format. Survey feedback is evenly split, and they feel confident both formats can coexist.
What do you think? 💭
Problem is Blizzard can get all the clear data they can or hear player feedback lean to favor 6v6 on any forum, but for some reason they will still not change it. Why?
6v6 officially overtook 5v5 in the survey that the developers put out WITH ZERO PATCHES FOR THE MODE ON PREFERENCE.
Imagine how much of a handicap you have to overcome to do this.
A HOUSE OF CARDS CANT STAND FOREVER. PEAK OVERWATCH IS COMING BACK!!!
@BalvarineFPS https://t.co/Lhj4HksKgw I’m not buying Twitter blue or posting paragraphs in Google Doc images to break down the nuance of how aim trainer translation works. My intended audience already understands the details that separate raw smoothness mechanically from other subcats.
Once again, people on Twitter like to completely talk past me and put words into my mouth. If you see this again, you know who you are.
Please name one time that I definitively said playing raw smoothness is useless.
Some of you desperately need to learn implied nuance.
When I played TSK, it was a full benchmark run on about 60cm.
I received tangible benefits in smoothness from it, but going beyond that and score farming with 80+cm I think is useless. Raw smoothness one tricks obviously struggle whenever the bot has any amount of evasiveness.
@Zeonlo Implementing it your way is just incredibly difficult without baseline strong flicks. Do you think tanking accuracy is just bound to happen before you get used to the style and take off, or is there a way I’m missing to navigate the process without aping most runs?
Oh I'm sorry snowflake, did I OFFEND you? Do you want a bandaid? Do you want a hug? Do you want a kiss? I will kiss you. I will do it. Right on the mouth. Come here snowflake.. that's it.. your lips are so soft, snowflake.. mnnhm... ah...... snowfl
