Controller sensitivity and season 20 changes

To cope with the slowdown of the game and changing of the gun recoil I decided to tweak my settings to see if it helped, and I think it is slightly.  Until they address the issues it may be the only ...

    @reconzero Cool, let me know how it goes. I also tried straight shot and managed to get a kill, though I'm still doing bad with regular pubs.

Well, as it turns out my look sensitivity is already at 3 and any lower than that means it takes me half a match just to turn around, so not really willing to go any lower there. On the ads side, I'm already down to 2, so likewise, any slower and all a target has to do to shake me is move. It was great with the dummies set to static, but as soon as they start moving then anything lower than 2 is unworkable. Not sure if this means I've been at the right place all along, or that I'm not good enough to make the best settings work, or haven't given them enough time.

@reconzeroOh, I think the reason it got better for me is I had mine up to 3.8 on ads because I wanted to be able to rotate faster when people ran into my blind spot, but taking it down to 2.4 has enabled me to get better accuracy since the season 20 changes.

I can see how anything below 2 would probably hinder accuracy. It's weird how much the game feels different now so that even sensitivity has this much if a different effect.

(Edit to add: the decimal points are possible on Nintendo Switch's gyro controller, not sure if they are possible on other platforms since they say a gyro is similar to adding a mouse to a controller)

    No deccimals on xbox either. Gyro controller sounds like a good thing - maybe I should switch platforms???

      @reconzero The good thing about gyro on Nintendo Switch is you never have to use the right thumb stick to control recoil, you simply tilt the controller forward when firing a gun. Once muscle memory takes over you basically have zero recoil.

      Also, you can tap strafe by simply tilting the controller around in the motion of the tap strafe.

      The only drawback is because you don't have the recoil problem you don't get aim assist, however that's never really been an issue for me since the motion control helps you correct your aim just by moving the controller.

      You want to make sure you only use the TV version though, handheld it's very difficult to see the enemies on some maps because of the small screen.

        I was running on 4

        But my stick drift got too unbearable couldn't pick up loot or climb.

        I switched to advance controls and adjusted. 

        My sensitivity allegedly now falls somewhere between 4 and 5 (if 5 is higher)

        I had to keep making minor adjustments as my pitch was a little stiff when looking. I keep it on linear and dead zone 5-8 has helped I also blew on my controller aggressively haha.
