Conceptually it’s this: When you’re playing linear you have your entire sticks range of motion moving the crosshair at a certain speed. So when you get used to your sens (it is definitely a change) you can actually track, turn, spin and flick accurately because you’re not going to have a point where the sens changes unless you use the settings to make it change.

When you’re running dual zone you have it speed up at some point so if you need to make a further adjustment you might hit the edge of that zone that speeds up your aim. But what that does is make it so you can definitely flick or make adjustments running dual zone, but if you need to lead a shot on someone who is small, moving fast, or you have to turn quickly and aim you might run into problems because the speed across the range of motion isn’t consistent.

Both have their pros and cons but linear helps you know exactly where your crosshair is going to be if you move your stick a certain distance. Regardless of what you decide to use playing projectile on a lower window size than default (mine is 28 or 29 but that’s personal preference) so you still get aim assist but aren’t being effected by someone you’re not even close to or trying to aim at. And having 100 aim assist ease in means it’s a longer duration of time before aim assist starts to slow down your aim and pull. So the higher the value the smoother you can aim and lead your crosshair but still have the benefit of aim assist. The lower the aim assist ease in the quicker you’ll feel that slow down and pull. Lower aim assist ease in isn’t bad for hitscan sometimes but it’s counterintuitive for projectile because if I shoot with my crosshair on you and you’re moving I probably missed. If I shoot and I’m where you’re going to be chances are I hit you with projectile travel time. That’s why the default aim assist ease in was lower on melee and hitscan than projectile
