Free-to-play Overwatch 2 has been taking center stage for shooters around the world this month, with DDoS attacks, queues or disconnects or hero bugs, new console gamers have suffered another. The unfortunate experience was that when they joined a cross-platform PC match, their aim assist controller didn’t work, much to their dissatisfaction.
Already in June 2021,Blizzard implements the “Douzhen Special Attack” cross-platform online battle.At that time, there were some related measures for the battle between PC players and host players, including the fact that cross-platform does not support point battles and after the host and PC players have joined, they can only be paired with PC platform players and cannot be paired with the host platform.
Also, as a console controller player, if you choose to cross play against a PC player, your controller aim assist will be forced, which is not the same as the current “Apex Heroes” or “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” le. settings are very different.

Due to the free list of “Doujin Special Attack 2” to attract more new players to join, some console players have also discovered this rulebook recently. The player who initiated the problem believes that the cross-platform cancellation of auxiliary aim caused him to be unable to interact with his friends on his home console. Enjoy the game together.
This topic caused an argument in the Reddit forum: in addition to complaining about Blizzard’s policy of disabling auxiliary aiming, the discussion area also began to quit the keyboard and mouse fairness debate and manage auxiliary aiming again.
Overwatch 2 with cross play enabled by default, but controller players who don’t get aiming assists of any kind are bullshit lol

I just realized that Overwatch 2, if you play cross-platform, punishes console players by disabling aim assist for them in PC lobbies. It is usually the opposite of lmao

In fact, the fairness of aim assist between keyboard, mouse, and controller has become a common topic of debate in the shooting game circle. The mainstream opinion of PC gamers is that the controller’s aim assist is too powerful, while the console gamers’ opinion is that aim assist is too powerful. It still takes a long time to practice to master it, so there are topics for all schools.
There are also many overseas videos verifying the performance of “aim assist”. For PC gamers, the visual blocking effect of auxiliary aim is very noticeable, but for console gamers, the key is correct joystick micro-control. .
Although the overseas community has sparked discussions, the fact that cross-platform assist is turned off is a fact that “Battle Strike 2” became an established rule last year. It is not yet known if the Blizzard team will review this rule due to player appeal At this stage, if the host player wants to enable aim assist, it can only be achieved with the host player also using the controller.
The Heroes Overwatch 2 shooter is available for free on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC Battle.net and more.
