Why is aiming so bad on console

General Discussion

I was playing battlefield 2042 and then going back to ow2 is awful. Whats a linear ramp even mean?

2

Because controller aiming is awful? How is that even a question?

Bro close this thread… I promise you this is opening a can of worms.

The forums have been hating on console players and AA a lot lately.

Red alert red alert! Abort Abort!

To answer you’re question: I can’t, I’ve only ever really played Overwatch as my only FPS on console so I can’t compare. Sorry.

As a console player who moved over to PC recently (never played any FPS on PC before) I can say that PC aiming is a million times easier than on console.

The console aiming settings are terrible. It also doesn’t help that a third of the people in mid-high to high ranks are cheating by using XIMs.

Oh no! Words on the internet! How will i cope?

Well expect not much help because most play pc or just insults, if your looking for answers I’d ask reddit first than here.

There’s an Overwatch console sub there that is pretty helpful.

Why would i use reddit?

simple. ow was designed for pc. ow is on console for additional revenue.
once you find the right settings, you’re all set.

So many fps have console and pc games and they control fine. What even are the right settings anyway?

Well I’d was trying find the link but I can’t find it, but they had numerous posts for aim sensitivity or AA for certain heroes or going over what everything means for console players.

If you don’t like reddit- youtube is a good resource too.

Most people say the AA is very minor on Overwatch compared to other shooters.

not saying it is, but could be a reason why aiming feels bad in ow compared to others that do more.

FINALLY-

Found it OP-

It’s there if you want to use it but I have found good posts in the past on that sub.
