PC/console crossplay is also disabled in Competitive mode. You have to opt into it by grouping up with a PC friend.

It's important to remember that controller/mouse players meeting in the first place is already an edge case. Obviously I don't speak for everyone-KellySweetHeart says their controller peeps have experienced a 'significant dip in their aim consistency.' We do agree that if Overwatch 2 flipped on aim assist in console/PC lobbies tomorrow, probably not much would change. That's not a high bar, but I managed to score medals on heroes I thought would be disastrous like Soldier: 76. I couldn't really tell aim assist wasn't there and I did about as well as I usually do on controller. I became the controller player in a sea of PC tryhards and it was surprisingly fine. I was without a desktop for the first time in years and desperate to play games with friends, I booted up console Overwatch. how_rotational_aim_assist_works from r/CODWarzoneĮarlier this year, my PC decided to stop working. Meanwhile, it's clear to me that sniper roles like Widowmaker and Ashe have it much better on mouse. It's still difficult to stay accurate with Lucio, but aim assist eases the significant burden of tracking enemies through the air. On an aim-assisted controller, it's a different experience. Tracking sporadic enemy movements while also accounting for your own acrobatics is the basis of Lúcio's skill ceiling-PC players practice for hundreds of hours to get really good at it. This stickiness is hard to miss if you're jumping and wallriding around as Lúcio while trying to shoot his dubstep gun accurately. Overwatch's controller settings have six sliders and buttons dedicated to fine-tuning aim assist, including options to increase the size of the invisible 'bubble' around a character in which your crosshair will stick to them. The benefits of aim assist depend on what hero you're playing.Īsk a dedicated Overwatch console player which settings are most important and aim assist will probably top the list. Overwatch 2 also has a roster of 30+ heroes who play completely differently from each other-some don’t need to aim at all. Most gunfights happen from 20-30 meters away and maps generally aren't big enough for long range sniper battles. Overwatch 2's aim tracking is, in my experience, less dramatic than Apex or CoD, but still consequential.
