Latency! That’s it. Thanks.
Latency number will fly through the roof as level loads, then will drop to about 20 or so higher than the ping you are used to seeing. If you normally see a ping of 50, Latency will show 70 will playing.

Such a great post! I hope Blizzard improves Overwatch on console.
6,000 views, and over 400 posts on this thread now. Also 46th most replied to thread in General Discussion as of this post as well…
And this thread overall has been alive for almost 5 months now (it hits 5 months on April 30th)…

I have been experimenting around again with the aim system and damn, when you give it attention and care you notice that there are still issues!! On Paladins, the aim is not known to be the best, however, I feel more comfortable with that than the OW aim system. I get warmed up much faster…
Also… I have a question: I have been noticing more and more how even with hitscans I notice like it’s not actually an instant shot. It feels like there’s a slight delay as if it were a projectile.
My latency is usually around 40-45. And it doesn’t feel exactly the same way it would if it were simply high latency… but it does get frustrating over time
Well, this is funny. I think I made the title too long XD
Why do I think this? Because I can’t edit it. OmegaLUL (The edit button for the title doesn’t appear in this thread for me 
)
That’s strange
Even stranger is the fact that the HTML for that edit button doesn’t appear when I inspect in its area.
As I added above, it only occurs for me in this thread. Other threads that I’ve made are just fine
You’ve been blocked from editing the post?
Now that you mention it, I actually am unable to edit the OP now. Can’t say why though because I don’t know. It’s for sure not because of being suspended or silenced. After all, I was able to make this post just fine . Initially it was that I was unable to edit the Title of the thread specifically. Well, it seems that I am unable to edit the OP too.
Meh, it’s whatevs. I can easily update the stats with a new post in this thread itself as long as I don’t try consecutive posting. The only real edits I’ve actually done for the OP for a long time were just to the stats of the thread. I’ll make it work!
Does anyone else feel that characters like genji and tracer are harder to deal with on console? Since the max turn speed is a bit low, it takes way longer to turn around when they blink/dash behind you.
Ana & Widowmaker need exclusive console buffs.
i don’t know about ana but widow is fine. Plus it would only make mouse and keyboard abusers stronger.
I have over a 1000 hours on my xbox account,I have only encountered 6 m&kb users, buffing widowmaker won’t matter unless it’s GM.
I always thought the input lag was intentional because of blatantly obvious it is. Is it really just a bug? Cause if so you’d think that would be a priority fix…
I just think they don’t play on consoles, so they are not used to a controller and don’t notice the lag.

reason why console is not regarded as widely as the PC is simple.
to do everything everyone wants them to do on a console blizzard as a company needs to get the OK from the consoles company before anything is added or removed from a game that has been released on the console.
so in short.
PC gets everything first becuse blizzard does not need to jump though a bunch of hoops just to release a change on it. they can look at it. test it and drop it. where as with consoles they have to show it to the company. wait for the company to check it. let the company dubble check it tripple check it and so on then they have to wait for the company to give it back to them with what they feel needs to be changed in the chances. then blizzard has to make said changes to make the company happy then once they do that they persent it again wait for the company to hand it back again or accept it if they had it back they change it again offer it and repeat till its accepted.
once its accepted. the PC version could of allready had said change droped into the game and there allready 4-7 patches ahead of it.
imo i rather play on a PC any day then a console. becuse the console gets the bad end of the stick every time. be it in the forums for a PC based game. or in the game its self. with janky controle porting. bad lag in server issues. or random system crashes with no exsplination on how it happend.
or in some cases. bans that cant be lifted becuse the company incharge of the console is also incharge of the ban that has been handed down to the player of the game that they where banned from. not blizz
but i am rooting for you console guys. i hope you do one day get all the things your asking for. the main on is your own forum ! good luck !

I’d except that reasoning, except Fortnite is regularly updated (sometimes within the span of a couple of days) and has a text chat box (though I wouldn’t that being left out considering how toxic this community can be)

Not even that, they don’t even respond to our posts. I don’t care how long it takes, the least they could do is say “Fixes are incoming, waiting patch approval”.
Really has nothing to do with Sony/Microsoft

its a sad truth many games that are ported from PC to console end up haveing lots of hoops to jump though to get there updates. sometimes a company wont drop there PC update till the update for the console version has gone though. thus an update that could of been out weeks before the console version gets pushed back on the PC till the console one has been approved
a good case in point would be the game defiance which was both console and pc the main game on PC had fewer bugs then the console version becuse the console companys scrutanised over every little detail that whent into the updates some updates the console version needed alot more then the PC version like stablisation of the servers or even the hot fix of a broken gun that had been put into the game that could one shot everything.
in the end the console version had less and less players on it as the devs neglected it a little bit more and a little bit more. to the point that currently i wouldnt be saprised if no one plays the console versions of the game at all.
most console users end up giveing up on consoles anyway after a while and switch over to PC . why ? well being an ex console user my self. i find PC games update faster then there console versions the graphics are much better the controles IE mouse and keyboard are more responsive. games have more options (( skyrim and games like it haveing tuns of mods that you can get for them to inhance the game play or change it as you feel )) sometimes but not all the time the communitys are communitys and come together and are not as toxic as we see in this one. (( over watch being one of the most toxic communitys out there that i have found )) you dont have to pay twice to access your net (( nearly all consoles make you pay to access there servers though your internet )) more then a few thousend free to play games that dont cost a dime to get. and play. wider range of games to choose from (( sure you see some mobas and RTSs on console but theres alot more on PC )) the only draw back is while consoles never change over the years as much as the PC does. PCs are also more exspinsive to make and get then consoles are. a good gameing PC can run you upto a few thousend dollers where as a console maybe only 500 at the most.
in the end PC beats out console in alot of catagorys but like i said in my last post. i do root for the console guys. they are part of the community after all and they do need a space to call there own on the forums. and need to be payed more attention to. us PC elitests arnt the only voices out there of the gameing world (( even if alot of us beleave we are ))
