The reason I want to learn it is because, harking back to the days I played CoD4 competitively, I played mainly Assault but as a Scope flex, so I was proficient with both rifles and scopes.
I know the rules of peeking as such, so I'm quite good at long range engagements with both rifles and scopes in CS:GO, but I've really only had fun using the scout for scopes. I can still awp, since it just requires me tracking slightly lower than I normally would to be effective, but I don't do it often enough to get comfortable with the movespeed, and I'm too used to being able to abuse weapon switching to quickly switch weapons because of my CoD experience, so I misjudge when it would probably be a good time to switch to my pistol. Plus I can't be as stupidly aggressive with the awp as I can with the scout because it's cost is so much higher and you can easily lose a round because you pushed too hard and lost the awp to the enemy team. And you can't do sweet jumpshots as easily.
I guess I should have said I'm not comfortable with the awp rather than I can't awp worth beans in retrospect.
