OVERWATCH Linear Fix

[Lineater]

Quick question about Aim assist window. With linear im curious what everyone is running for certain heroes. I keep changing it up and down and can't figure out where to keep it.

Most seem to keep it between 0-25.  I've changed it a lot, but have been sticking to 5 on all characters.  I want to keep the same AA/AAW widow the same on all chars for muscle memory.

I'm shocked to learn that a lot of you use small amounts of aim assist/windows... I have always used 100% AA and 100% AW; when I kept seeing people using little to none I've been trying out lower values, from 0 to 85 I cannot seem to feel comfortable with the lack of AA. I am confused... Isn't the training from the Xim ST (expo) supposed to be trained to work with the aim assist to negate it, or am I mistaken?


Either way, I will spend some more time trying to train myself to use little or no aim assist with this coming comp offseason but the way the last two weeks of trying that have gone I don't see me making that change. I main DPS/Defense characters and my hitscan character accuracy is pretty incredible - 50 to 60% with soldier/McCree. I don't see a reason to make these changes.

Most linear users seem to stick with high AA but lower their AAW.  Personally I think a lower AAW feels better on linear. 

I would turn up my AAW when trying expo. Maybe a larger AAW feels better on expo because the slowdown negates some of the exponential acceleration.

Also some people prefer super sticky aiming, some don't.

Is the curve value (using XIM4 on PC) much higher than Xbox One/PS4?

For example, Xbox One and PS4 are about 12 and 8 respectively. On PC, I found that I had to jack up a curve to about 21. Has it always been like this for Linear Ramp on PC?

Also, Aim Ease doesn't seem to fix the deadzone issue at all. Unless I did something wrong, this is another useless update by Blizzard.

I simply couldnt get my xim4 to work on overwatch it may have been a faulty cable as i had to use different ones sorry for no feedback. Thanls to gunit for managing to provide some.

Can't remember who's curve this is but it works brilliantly. (Linear)

[HAMTARO]

Frankie's curve is quite good, did well with it using widow

As you said. Expo and a high aim window is the way to go. You can have  really nice weapon accuracy when using it properly.

I just want to provide a little proof that with some effort you can do really well w/o aim assist. Once you've learned to aim w/o that garbage then you'll feel the xim MUCH better.
I just wanted to prove that you can play w/o aim assist and still get 86% scoped Accuracy.
To share (and brag a bit) check out the video below.

 My curves are my signature.

I've had these settings for a few weeks now and my Average scoped accuracy went from 45% when I was using 70% aim assist and a true linear curve, (straight line) and now I switched to a hybrid boost / curve setting and I'm getting 68-70% accuracy per game and like this one, 86% from time to time.
Check it: (you'll have to pause at the end to see the accuracy)

Nice video man any chance you coul post your current settings with images so i can at least atemp to recreate them for my use on ps4. Also could i enquire as to how these settings feel with characters like genji and tracer?

My settings are in my signature as well as a place to copy and paste my settings. Now I'm using a hybrid of Boost and Curve. i have NO idea how that translates to PS4 so it'll take some trial and error. I was trying to use the curve part to slow the micro movements but then boost out to a full spin.
Works really well with Genji and Winston but I have one profile with the same settings but slightly higher Sens.
most important (though no one listens to me) is putting your Aim Assist at 0.
I realize you can do better at 100 but I'm not trying to cheat or do better, I want to simulate PC, that's what I've done and again I still get +70% accuracy almost every game (over the last 5 days)

Just wanted to share some more game play using my settings and 0 Aim Assist.
I just want to show it's possible to play w/o any aim assist.
You can see I make some stupid decisions and no one is talking on the team so the game is pretty trash but it's about the aiming and tracking. Sorry I didn't have time to edit out the downtime
The second game is a bit better.

Ok man thanks for reply i hope i can get to the point where i have setting i feel are stable enough to use with 0 aim assist i will try to configure yours for use on ps4

[pigglywiggly]

i just tried to turn my aim assist to 0 (using linear) and wow it is literally impossible.  it feels so jittery and is hard to hit anything.  if this is really what pc aim is like, im extremely impressed people can aim so well with it.
