The new “rumble” or vibration settings for the console controllers has made this game unplayable. I am playing Mercy and getting random vibrations even when I am dead… Like WHY? It also seems to vibrate whenever the person I am pocketing takes damage. All of these changes are very disorienting and draining my controller batteries for no reason at all. Please fix this Blizzard!

I was just about to post about this. After the update both versions PS4/PS5 vibration is busted. I can feel the vibration of my teammates AND enemies when something happens to absolutely anybody in the game. It also happens when I’m dead or in spawn. And I have nerve issues in my hands and THIS is flaring it up like crazy. It’s completely busted for everybody at this point and it’s certainly unplayable for me.

For real, the vibration feedback is insane. I keep missing my shots because it vibrates the ENTIRE time…

Tried playing with every single support hero. Even Zen is busted the vibrations from his discord on top of the vibrations from whatever is going in the game. Getting a migraine from simple QP games.

PLEASE CHANGE THE VIBRATION FUNCTION BACK. This feels awful to play with, why did it change in the first place? They need to fix this ASAP. Vibrating constantly, it’s doing my head in.

Rumble changes were very unnecessary. Playing Soldier & Lucio has become genuinely uncomfortable.
I had multiple occasions yesterday when I was getting rumble feedback when standing perfectly still. Why do I need to have haptic feedback when an enemy Dva has matrix’d a stray bullet a mile away from me?
I can only assume Blizz have made a secret deal with Duracell, because these changes are really without reason.

They definitely messed up. The crazy part is a ton of people will and have removed all vibrations just to feel okay playing. By the time they fix it, no one will be using it at all.
Can’t even really try out the changes with so much broken.

Needs to be adressed and fixed ASAP.
Noticed at the start of the season they changed it. Now changed again.
You’ll get random bursts of vibration for no reason. You now feel every step you run as Soldier. Why? No need to.
Classic changing things that aren’t needed.

I legit thought my controller was breaking with all the rumble vibrations. I wish they had added a clear way to disable the rumble update in our settings.

I played several games today and since the update the haptic feedback on my joycons is malfunctioning. It will vibrate at random times or when my teammates are firing into defense matrix or biotic grasp on the enemy team. It seems to be across platforms.

Hopefully they hotfix this ASAP, this change was not needed.

thank God it wasn’t just me. wtf happened in this patch. my wrist are starting to feel sore after just 2 matches. this new feedback is insane. I’ll feel the rumble of a fight when I’m not even nearby at all. I played soldier and using his sprinting ability was so painful 
. this needs to be fixed asap

Yes! My controller is vibrating when I’m doing NOTHING! It won’t stop!

Just bumping this back to the top of the page.
I see it had been noted that feeling enemy vibrations is a bug and being looked into - that’s good. However, like everyone else, I agree that the new rumble features do not enhance the experience at all. My controller is constantly vibrating and it’s jarring. I really do not need to feel the ground shake when soldier runs!
If you’re going to insist on keeping this in the game, please at least give us the option to revert or adjust what does and doesn’t vibrate.

I agree I want it back to how it was pre-update. I NEED the option to have it back.

Looks like they’ve addressed this in the patch notes for tomorrow (season 8). Will see how it plays out but thank you for listening blizzard. Hopefully it works nicely.
They did add the options to lower it but it’s not working for me whether I lower it or put it on 0 unfortunately. Doesn’t work for any hero.
