Hello, any tips for playing echo on console?
There is an option which says something like “keep the button pressed to fly”, what does it do?
Thanks!
I have a tip;
bind jump to LT, and bind sticky bombs to the left joystick, or A.
Dont play her on console. Thats a good tip. Its impossible being good at anything
that needs great gameplay agility on consoles. But if you wanna try, sensitiviy must be on 100
sensitivity you mean?
low sens can be better, actually, everyone has a type of aim that they prefer. All the heroes in ow can be played on console, and many of the aim intensive ones can be good on console too.

Thanks very useful…
The aim intensive heroes can be good on console. But the agility and mobility intensive ones like Tracer, Genji, Doomfist, Wreacking Ball, and Echo are the problem. It is very difficult to make a mere 180 degree turn on the console. Controlling the accuracy of this, then, is impossible. So these characters are horrible on consoles and very difficult to have the same effectiveness of the PC, even with people with a lot of practice in the controler. It’s a physical limitation of the controllers
Doesn’t it confuse sensitivity for other heroes?
thats what I thought at first, but so far its fine for me.
I wish I can bind Jump to both A and LT; but you cant.
I simply trade the Jump and Glide buttons, works perfect for me and its simple
It’s not as big as a hindrance as you might think. What console players lose in terms of speed of turns they gain in getting completely free mobility- they can move in any direction, rather than in diagonals or lines. Strafing is easier on console and harder to predict. Ball and genji has basically equal pickrates across platforms, and high tier switch players have a huge lean to ball and zarya. Doom and tracer are a bit lower on console, but not far off pc. Lucio’s pickrate on console is even higher than on pc, and hes also agility focused.

Yes I would like to map multiple buttons to the same action too.
Swap your jump to L1 or bumper,
make “flight” a thumb button,
I swapped with jump so it’s x on my ps4.
For tactics,
force your enemy into an awkward line of sight away from your team and try to stay alive while producing damage. That was my flank on volskya that was won in less than 2 minutes. Use mobility to get behind the enemy and separate their points of interest.

Incorrect. I have extremely high stats with all of the above and have been GM for 3 seasons. Just because you can’t figure out how to do well with a hero doesn’t mean nobody else can either.
Yeah, and just because you are such a pro player with a controler, it doesent mean that everyone is. It’s not a fair and interesting way to play the game
forcing people to play only in controlers instead of you having the choice.
You need to be a pro controler player to play the basics of overwatch mechanically well. To reach the level of a PC diamond, you need to master your way of controlling the characters, your controls, everything absurdly. While on a mouse and keyboard it is simply intuitive and there are many more people who can play well. So the console scenario is horrible, and basically consists of people like you say you are, carrying other people who don’t even know how to move right, because it’s too hard. Even on GM you guys have people who walk and shoot like silvers, being carried by like, two insanely good dps (those who are controler pro players). This is not like the game should be
As someone who plays at a fairly high SR with friends of all different ranks on console, I very rarely experience what you’re talking about- everyone can move and aim fairly well. The only times where I experience what you’ve suggested is against obvious smurfs.
