Is a dpi change + ingame action considered cheating?

Hi,

I’m currently trying to step up my game a bit by playing around with some dpi-changes. Now I tried to improve genji by adding a dpi-shift function to the right mouse-button, but since genji’s left click and right click are equally important and oftentimes have to be used in combination with abilities, the dpi-shift slows my gameplay down too much.

Now a solution could be, that by lowering the dpi, I at the same time switch my buttons so genji will always shoot his left-click when I lower the dpi and his right-click when I don’t shift the dpi. This however would be considered a macro I think.

Blizzard policy as far as I know it is, 1 button, 1 action. That’s still kind of true in my case, since the dpi-shift isn’t an ingame action.

What do you think, Is this allowed?

Well i have the g502 with a sniper Button. Basiclly A dpi shift to help me line up the headshot

DPI shifting isn’t cheating, but I really suggest you buy a mouse that has dedicated DPI switch buttons instead of what you are doing.

I personally recommend Logitech G502.

Ryujehong, the pro player, plays with a DPI shift button for quick turns, so that’s perfectly legal.

But, in your case, you’re putting 2 actions on 1 button, which can be quite risky.

Yeah that’s my problem, I don’t want to adept to it (which would take months) and in the end it’s considered an unfair advantage. But as I said, it’s only 1 action ingame, so it’s a bit unclear.

It’s probably best to just tweak your sens until you’re fine with it, because what you described might just be true.

Don’t know if they could detect it though, mouse software is legal after all.

Get an MMO mouse. Fixes your problem, at no danger to yourself.

Thx for the replies, I’ll try to find a different solution. Although I’m also quite sure that they wouldn’t be able to detect such a macro.

It’ll take like maybe a week, dude xD

I know (for ex) the Corsair software allows macroing with random time delays to avoid detection. But as you mentioned, AFAIK the policy is “1 button 1 action”.

Unless you have some kind of condition/injury that prevents large mouse movements, I would just invest in a larger mousepad (and learn to do fast/larger camera movements) instead honestly.

Hell yeah! Love that mouse. So amazing
