Okay so I started playing OW on console cause my PC at the time was dead. OW aim assist is STRONK! Its beyond strong! You can legit have the crosshairs stick to a player with the right setting. (no cheats just knowing how to set it up in game)
It would honestly be an advantage. Even though M&K gives you a much wider more precise range of movement. It would be a 50/50. sometimes the aim assist will lock onto the PC player sometimes it may not. But it would still be giving an advantage to the player that had the chance of locking onto a target for 4 or 5 frames.
So I dont know, Ive played both and I can say without a doubt aim assist is pretty damn strong in this games and its pretty close to a full on track assist program.
Here’s a pro tip for console players and aim though. You can buy those extender deals for the thumb stick to make them longer. This gives you more precise control in game. I cant remember if you can adjust it or not but give your control as little of a dead zone as possible stuff like that.

I have a question about this… You say it ‘locks on’.
but how does that work when projectiles aren’t instant. Locking on would be a nightmare for some champs. Soujourn and Orisa are good examples. You need to be pre-aiming where they’re going to be when the projectile gets there. If your mouse locked onto them you’d miss every shot.
Even champs like phara/Junk. I’m never aiming ‘At’ a player, im aiming where I expect them to be when it gets there.
This is a genuine question btw, I’ve never played any console games that arent just single player (last of us, god of war etc)
It’s really unique actually. I haven’t tried OW2 aim assist, but I have tried the recent CoD aim assists and there they are quite strong, so I would not be surprised if the same sort of level was added into OW2.
To answer your question, I think that the aim assist bubble would be more extended depending on the distance from the enemy. This is quite feasible, as their AI bots can reliabily kill you with projectile weapons.
It just slows your crosshair down around your target.
Practice without aim assist, once you get used to it you’ll feel the aim assist stick to people
Hopefully its not like Apex, the aim assist in apex literally forced many PC pros to learn controller😂

fiction. clearly you don’t own a console.
Honestly Im not sure how to explain it but you can feel it. Even with projectile weapons. As someone else mentioned it sort or slows down and stick even with projectiles, it feels like it actually calculates lead time with projectiles to a certain extent.
Like when its fully active and on someone you can flick away slightly and youll see the cursor barely move cause the assist is adding input counter to the flick and essentially making your inputs less important over the systems if you get what im saying.
fiction. show me. in practice range. whats your BT?
You don’t need a console to use the aim assist. A lot of PC games have AA.
oh yes you do. why? you know why. all aim assist isn’t equal. this is why this is a topic for experts. not ineffectives. who fear consoles. if you’d like to experience or witness the nonexistent aim assist, i’ll add your BT. otherwise, all else is invalid fictional speculation.
If it is like Apex, and the devs are allowing it in comp. later, the comp scene in OW2 will be dead.
