Hey guys.
Wanted to let all the console players know, if youre experiencing input lag, its most likely an aim assist feature called ‘aim smoothing’.
I dont care how good or bad your aim is, i dont care what hero you main, this DEFAULT SETTING is nothing but detrimental to your gameplay experience.
What this ‘helpful’ feature does is take your input i.e you moving your stick 10% to the left, and stoo for a half a second to see if you really meant to move it that way, if you commit to the movement, it allows you, if you dont, it either slows that movement so its smaller or ignores it entirely - although that part im unsure about as I’ve only been able to find players explanations of it on these forums.
What I’m CERTAIN of, its its direct relation to input lag, i noticed this lag immediately after not having played console OW properly for 2 years.
My peak on console was 3449, I started this season placing at 2800, im now 2200 thanks tp this ‘assistive feature’. Thanks blizz
