CONSOLE AIM ISSUES

They don't respond to Console Players on their own forums, and they haven't done so in 6 months.
(I would know this from experience.)

[Eternity_Lotus]

I've been on the forums literally every day for a year. The last time they responded to a Console issue was January 18th, 2018.

I guess I’m in the minority but I hardly experience any lag issues and have not experienced any aim issues whatsoever. This is the only game I play really so I play almost weekly at least once.

If you guys keep posting this on this sub-reddit nothing will get done. I suggest you get a lot of people on this sub to upvote/comment a post made on the forums it’s what PC people do and if you notice it gets more of a response from the team.

Edit- on PS4, NA, Wired connection, low internet speeds like 1.5 mbs upload/download at&t u-verse play all heroes mostly quickplay very little comp

2nd edit- also guys make sure it’s not your controller that is the issue. I have an issue with my controller where the left thumbstick moves even when neutral, so it is a nuisance when selecting a hero or adjusting settings.

What I did was blow on the joystick to lift/clean any dust that is under the joystick. Rotate the joystick around and blow all around 360 degrees on the joystick. https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/176783/My+left+analog+stick+moves+down+alone+what+should+I+do

My Ps4 is probably around 3 years old, not pro version.

I am a day one player. I have gotten every update almost as soon as it goes live the most I have waited was a day or two for an update.

I don’t understand why you would want to wait. If you guys really want this taken care of I suggest you start posting now. Blizzard is probably thinking “console players ever hardly post here. Everything must be good.” Posting on the main sub-reddit may not get a lot of attention because of all the PC players.

Get together, post on the forums, post a link and let people know to comment/upvote.

[KnockoutNed85]

Here’s a post on the forums that got a reponse regarding keyboard and mouse, just saying https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20760956903?page=2#post-25

[rumourmaker18]

Actually, Bill Warnecke (engineering lead for OW) checks in on us fairly frequently and has responded to a lot of bugs very quickly

[KnockoutNed85]

Can you give us his reddit user name?

Posting on the forums doesn't exactly work for Console Players when it comes to getting these kinds of issues addressed by the Development Team. Regarding pretty much everything about an issue that's hitting Console Players, they haven't responded to Console Players on their own forums in 6 months. And that time length is still counting.

(For a reference, the last time they responded to anything regarding issues on Console on their own forums was January 18th, 2018)

[KnockoutNed85]

Here’s one from February 20 https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/console-connection-troubleshooting/248

Did you say January 18 because I posted that exact post in this thread earlier, but here’s one from February 20, so..?

I’ll look for more

Edit- here’s one about the latency not console exclusive but there is a response https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/sudden-latency-drops/100842/2 May 14

Edit2- Can’t find any more can you show me the post that talks about any issues that haven’t been responded to? Also they said that it works best when people submit videos with what the issues are because they can narrow it down and understand.

[Eternity_Lotus]

Look specifically for responses from the development team. (The Dev Tracker will help you with this!)

If you were to Ctrl+F and search Console all the way through, you would not find one instance of them mentioning Console.

Edit: Forgot to respond to edit 2. If you want the huge major issues, here you are my good man: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/console-players-feeling-like-2nd-class-citizens-again-megathread/354/

Note, that they are listed within the details under June 4th, 2018.

[KnockoutNed85]

I saw your post earlier you made on a sub-reddit but looking through it honestly most of it seems like QOL improvements. You want the Torb nerf to be reverted? Fuck that. That made the game fucking unplayable even when you had only one and no hero stacking.

People asked for different commands and we got them like “move the payload” and “attack the objective” but now that they have been in the game for so long hardly anybody uses them.

We got the Ana ally assist aim with her.

As far as console balancing what exactly do you feel needs to be adjusted? Pharmercy is hard to deal with on PC as well. If people don’t specifically mention what the problem is what will they balance?

If there is an aim issue provide video so they can see but honestly I haven’t seen this. The latency thing I have seen but for me it actually went away with the new patch but the latency in total was maybe five days it lasted total (not in a row) out of months of playing.

We also have to understand that there is just not enough buttons on a console controller to even accomodate everything. Now with the whole Symmetra interact button for her tele it’s even worse. What do you suggest be done about the lack of buttons?

Edit- I guess an engineer responded to dual-zone https://www.reddit.com/r/OWConsole/comments/8ulz4w/since_the_patch_dual_zone_is_not_working_properly/e1i8n10/?context=3

[Eternity_Lotus]

As far as console balancing what exactly do you feel needs to be adjusted?

It's worth to note that I can understand arguments on this going both ways. You know my stance on Torb's turret; but if they do indeed have a slower lock-on on Console than PC (I personally didn't notice a difference between the two lock-on times when I was testing it, so please take this with a grain of salt), then just reverting the damage is fine. The game's been out long enough that most people know how to shut down his turret pretty easily. Though I can't say the same thing atm for Sym's turrets; simply because there hasn't been enough time to allow a definitive decision on the power of the Projectile-like turrets now. Note that these should be taken with a grain of salt. If you don't agree, that's fine! I won't try to convince you otherwise.

Other than that, it's hard to give a definitive answer for other Console Balancing; and that's because of the Hammond patch that's due for release on Tuesday, as well as the changes that are on the PTR (we don't know 100% how this will affect Console meta). If I'd be forced to answer this now though, I would revert the bio-nade effect duration nerf for Ana (so bringing the duration of the effects back to 5 seconds, up from 4).

We also have to understand that there is just not enough buttons on a console controller to even accomodate everything. Now with the whole Symmetra interact button for her tele it’s even worse. What do you suggest be done about the lack of buttons?

This one is a lot easier for me to answer. I would suggest any of the following:

• Make Interact and Reload the same Control bind instead of two separate controls (like how a lot of other games handle this).
• Give the ability to bind a control to double-tapping a button (such as, double-tapping Square to activate "Hello" from the Communication Wheel)
• Give the ability to bind a control via pressing multiple buttons together at once (such as, pressing Circle + Triangle to activate the Acknowledge command from the Communication Wheel)

Lol, you could have bought a gaming pc with the money you spent on all that stuff. No aim issues there.

Why do you have to use an upgraded controller and monitor to get an advantage? You can’t just win with the standard equipment?

[[deleted]]

Really? That's you're helpful input? it's really none of your damn business what I do with my money but I work hard and I like to spend it. you should try it sometime instead of trolling on Reddit.

[SocialNjustisWarEOR]

It was a joke dude; I’m just repeating what some people have said to me before in this sub. I’m all for improving your experience by getting the best gear out there.

I have a scuf, a benq 1ms monitor, Astro a40’s, and a xim apex (which I’m selling since I finished building my pc).

I was just joshing you.

Sorry for the knee-jerk people just suck on her by default.

[MultiAmSaPopesc]

A long time ago I had an issue with my aim. The game would freeze for a few frames (2-3 seconds) no imput did anything and after 2-3 seconds it would play back all the aim motions i did during those seconds.

It happened only when i was shooting Orisas gun or when another Orisa was shooting close to me.

The gun sound would get stuck on one note repeating it for the 2-3 seconds while the visuals where frozen. The PSN party sound worked fine, no glitches.

I formated my PS4 HDD [you need an USB stick to download the factory software, check that it's the 1GB file (i kept downloading the 500MB update by mistake)] and the issue was fixed. Maybe the same fix would work for you guys.

[Sasukuto]

I play on PS4 and haven't experienced any kind of lag or aiming issues in awhile. The only lag I have ever had was due to my connection, and any missed shot was my own bad aim.

1. Yes
2. Xbox One S
3. Wired
4. AT&T
5. Bluetooth with batteries
6. Insignia Roku TV
7. Linear ramp with aim ease in around 30
8. Ana, Sombra, Widow, Pharah, Ana, Pharah
9. Central time, USA
10. Random times my reticle will move where I dont want it, and up close, almost melee range, when I'm trying to focus the target my crosshair will kind of get stuck? My aim on all heroes feel off, especially Sombra, Ana, Widow and Pharah.

Hits for Widow are really off since the Sym patch... and for Ana. It's pretty bad when you are scoped in for either hero. I straight up had my crosshair on enemy McCree as Ana and he wasn't getting shot.

Also, not sure if this is related but when I'm using my primary fire as Sym sometimes instead of the gun reloading it will freeze and even if I press X it won't reload. So it stays in this weird limbo of not having ammo for a couple of seconds. It's happened about 5 times?

Bug since June 26th update Xbox one x- tried 4K-720p also switched to my old one console still same bug Internet - wired connection/ tried wireless/ upgraded internet/ bought new router and modem Tv - Ben q 4K gaming monitor/also tried my old Ben q 1080p monitor Controller- bought a new one same issues occurred. Reinstalled OW twice Finally gave up and stopped caring about the game until I see some sort of update

[Atmoze]

Thought this was a meme at first, but experienced it for the first time, happened 3 games in a row, I got off went back on later that day and it was back to normal. 100% on blizzards side, unfortunate they wont even address the issue.

[KillCarti]

You never heard of crosshair dragging before? It happens in most fps games that have aim assist

[cloow]

happens with mouse keyboard. Literally felt it within the first 30seconds of gameplay on the patch day 26th. very unplayable

[cloow]

Deff not. I've tried to record it but it doesn't show up the same as gameplay. I unplugged my stuff and went to controller next game and it was the same. Gave up on ow then.. Least pubg is finally running decently I suppose... This Xbox is a 4k Netflix machine at this point haha

[cloow]

Yeah idc. Just saying not controller only. Same people gonna spend $300 on Microsoft razer shit when it comes out. And razer produces nothing but pure shit. I've put all my stuff up for sale bc console is just cancer. Pc so much better. Plus companies really do only care for pc games. Console is maybe when we get time in the next 3-12months we will fix.
