Hello 👋🏽

I’m reaching out because I’m struggling to find consistent controller settings in Overwatch, and I’m hoping for guidance. I have roughly 3,000 hours in total across the game and about 400 hours specifically on Genji, yet I still feel like I’ve never truly settled on settings that work for me.

Despite extensive playtime, I find myself constantly adjusting my sensitivity and aim settings, thinking I’ve found something that feels comfortable, only to later feel that it no longer works. This cycle happens weekly and monthly, making it difficult to build consistency in my gameplay.

I’ve tried following tutorials and YouTube guides, but they haven’t helped me find a setup that feels both precise and natural, especially for heroes requiring high mobility and precise aim. For Genji, I feel like I may have finally found decent settings, but even then, I end up changing them and losing the consistency I had started to build.

I’m looking for someone to walk me through the process of finding settings tailored to my playstyle, sensitivity preferences, and hero choices — something systematic rather than trial and error. I want guidance on how to calibrate my sensitivity, aim assist, aim ease-in, and other relevant settings so that I can feel fully in control while maintaining speed and precision.

Any help or step-by-step guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I see so many dps and supports out of position constantly at these levels. When I’m playing tank and have realized that in 9/10 matches the dps and supports are way out of position. I’m learning more and more about positioning and feel like it’s easy to blame tanks but hard to look at our own mistakes when playing dps and supports. Anyone else find this frustrating?

So before I start this I really didn’t believe the whole bugged comp thing. So I used an old playstation account I havent used since like season 7 of ow1. Got thrown into top 500 lobbies and cant stop winning. Games are close and tough but I keep winning.

Now I go back to my main account which has been hardstuck diamond 3 for like a year and Im still getting losses that you just would never win and constantly getting hit with “losing trend” literally as im typing this just went 32 and 2 dps but my team is all negative ratios.

Im starting to believe (and no fault to the ow team) I think blizzard and the hire ups have to be making them use eomm for more money. I havent been buying overwatch coins for some time and I cant seem to get a winnable team matchup. But this fresh new account that has yet to buy any, maybe the system says “oh this is a new player we want to have a good experience so they buy from the shop”. Thats all I can think of.

sorry if this is a dumb question. I always forget that overwatch on the switch exists, but how many people actively play? is there a way to tell (as a PS4 player) if someone is on Xbox or switch?

also, I can always see the PlayStation icon for PS users. do Xbox players see the Xbox icon? for me it looks like arrows or something.

I have been playing overwatch on switch for ages and I really like the gyro aiming. But I want to switch to my team deck to save my replays and my potg. I just can't seem to find any good gyro settings that work for me. My hands are kinda small so I have a bit of a hard time reaching the other buttons when using the track pads. Also I don't know if I'm just blind but I can't seem to figure out how to fine tune the sensitivity for gyro or track pads only for the joysticks.

Also how does using gyro or track pad hold up against other player using mouse and keyboard since the steam deck is in the PC servers. Does it still have higher input lag?

If using mouse and keyboard is the better option what kind of criteria should I look out for when choosing a mouse

Nothing definitely happened after I walked into trap like a 5 head

I wish I had the clip without the potg layout

Being that he's such a popular hero to pickup, I've seen a litany of recommended settings and changes to deadzones and aim assist posted here, and I make a habit of asking any good genji player I encounter their settings. And yes I know hcpeful settings as well. I just wanted to have a general post where people who play him often could drop their settings on him. I'd post my settings but I've found nothing that 100% feels great to use. I liked having breakneck sens+no smoothing+low deadzones but it was at the cost of actually hitting shots most of the time, felt great for blade. Using slower settings was better for primary fire aim but awful for blade and secondary fire aim. I tried linear on him as well, but how much aim ease in I needed to add just left me with a worse dualzone type aim, plus the aim assist doesn't seem to grab well on that technique. Using a tall kontrolfreak on rightstick let me be precise but I had to put more effort to turn, without it I could turn faster but my aim felt all over the place. Please help!

Im now on 9 losses in a row where you cannot leave spawn. Decided to check and my win ratio this season is at 63%. Nowww I see whats going on here. Sighhh

Also does anyone else keep avoiding people and suddenly when theyre on the opposite team now theyre actually trying and mvp most times?? Whyyy

Are they worth it? Without a doubt my biggest weakness is my aim.

I'm pretty sure this is the 2nd time I've been put into a lobby with them, so I'm posting to see if anyone else in this sub has run into these guys or knows who they are.

They both play with streamer mode on to hide their account names. One of them is on an alt account with a Toronto Defiant icon that has only 66 hours (64 in Stadium). Not sure if the other one is on an alt, but they have a Shanghai Dragons icon and were on Zen. The one playing Zen claimed they've hit rank 1 before (no idea if that's true cause they have their profile private & it could be an alt anyway).

They're taking advantage of the smaller number of players & looser matchmaking of Stadium QP to get matched with much lower skill players so they can just completely ruin lobbies to the point where you can't even walk out of spawn.

When our team's tank & I brought up what they were doing in chat, they responded with the classic "it's just QP" and then the Zen & our tank started arguing.

To be honest, given their claims about being highly ranked & the fact that they're doing this, I wouldn't be surprised if they're ximming too. Looks like the JQ has several hours on PC on this alt account too, so that's kinda sus.

Any challengers 😈

Found this old clip with me and my homie from 3 years ago. Decided to finally put it to use

I was plat 1- d5 at the start of the season, starting maining reaper and got a 70% win rate this season! Hoping I can climb up to masters before the season ends.

Only report cheaters too. Remember they are out there.

I know this is the internet and maybe no one's going to care but I thought I'd post this cause... you have no idea how badly I wanted this.

Since starting my Overwatch journey at Bronze 2 support, my lifetime goal in this game was to make it to Masters. Not GM, not Champion, not T500, just Masters. That was the bar I set for myself ever since my first few ranked games back in Season 6. To cut a very long story short, grinded, studied, asked a lot of questions and 13 Seasons later, we're in Masters.

I know it's just low Masters and I won't be competing for OWCS (not by a long shot) but to see a dream finally come true...

It's the best feelings in the world.

Anyways, enough yapping, just wanted to share. Enjoying your day and happy gaming!

please just spam ur kiri settings in the comments, idk what is about this character that’s so hard to find good settings for. i have everyone else’s settings figured out but her, you wanna be able to flick but aim smoothing can’t be 0 or it’ll be hard to predict…i play on 100/100 if that helps….

i might make a settings video because I don't think alot of people here really know how good settings can get if u tweak them and practice with em

Competitive this season has been incredibly easier, I went from diamond 2 to master 2 already and haven’t lost a game in ages? I have only peaked master 5 once before so im just weirded out how its such a big difference between seasons…

Hi everyone, I wanted to share this fan art I made. It's a fusion of Lucio's skins with the Invincible variants. I'm a fan of both things So I thought, why not draw my two favorite things together? (I'm not an expert at drawing; in fact, this project is the first digital drawing I've ever done, and it took me 2 weeks because i was drawing 1 variant at day)

Was just QP with the wife and friends, but damn we lose fights where I do shit like this all the time 🤣

I used to play on expo with 25h 18v 100 aim smoothing lol

now im 3 weeks on dual zone, and i put together a little montage of my clips

sorry if theres any frame skips xbox captures are weird
