Sigma Ultimate Issue on Console

During Sigma’s ultimate, it’s nearly impossible to levitate upwards with X (jump) and aim your ultimate simultaneously. Your thumb can only do 1 of those 2 things.

To counteract this, Blizzard should allow players to levitate as Sigma with L2 (left trigger) during his ultimate. That way players can aim and levitate simultaneously. They permitted players to do the same thing with Mercy’s Angelic Descent which, by the way, I don’t think used to be binding with L2… before it was also with X.

Before people immediately refute this with “just fix your key bindings”, it wouldn’t work because L2 is configured with Sigma’s shield ability. And swapping that with his jump would be too detrimental and pointless. Sigma already CANNOT use any of his abilities while he’s casting his ultimate, so why can’t L2 be of use then?

Thanks for implementing this Blizzard! Much love!

Agreed. I use L2 to fly with Pharah and that’s there by default. Should be the same with any flying hero.

I have a better solution. Take away his ability to levitate while casting his ultimate.

Support ticket? I’m unfamiliar with that

look it up in thier website you can directly expose your issue to them through a ticket

That’s a separate discussion my friend! As for right now, this is what we have!

You cannot deny that what I proposed would solve the issue. Sick of seeing things immune to Earthshatter. Sigma hitting his ult is just one more thing that should clearly be hit by it and isn’t.

I’m not denying your opinion. It’s just that it’s not relevant to the topic.

I mean, considering the fact that a flying pharah can be hit by earthshatter, this is a pretty close equal tradeoff

It is relevant.

You want to be able to hit the levitate button during his ultimate. Right now, you cannot aim and hit the button at the same time. My option is to get rid of the need for the button in the first place. What drives my want for this change isn’t related to why you want the button changed, but my solution fixes it for both of us.

But your cause isn’t just. You want this done merely because you want to stun sigma with your earthshatter. That’s so fundamentally flawed and case specific to you (& Reinhardt players), that it isn’t fair. Sigma players make the voluntary choice of going into the air and exposing themselves. Your teammates should be able to shut him down with their own CC abilities or to even quite possible focus and eliminate him. End case and point.

It would still fix your problem of not being able to do two things at once.

It’s not a fix. It’s like me saying let’s make Earthshatter 10 meters so you have a chance of hitting Sigma. It’s completely unreasonable.

What I do is I look down and pull the right joystick down (towards you), so it makes Sigma go up without having the need to press X.

I learned that from using Valkyrie.

Yeah :-/ I noticed the same thing! I’m really hoping because this is such a small change, they could implement it.

Back when I played on console, I reworked my whole button layout.

Jump was on L1 and it was really good.

(The ability bound to L1 normally was bound to the thumbstick button L3)

Yeah, I would totally do the same, but with so many games always binding X as a jump, I couldn’t do it :joy:

The only hero that I have that doesn’t have X binded to jump is Lúcio. For him I have L3. That way I can look around and shoot while wall-riding.
