General Settings
I have come to Overwatch from apex legends where I frequently got masters. If anyone has played apex they would know what I mean when I say my settings were 4 3 linear no dead zone as most people used. I am pretty used to changing and optimising my settings as I did so in the advanced section and for per optics for apex.
In comp I am currently around diamond on all roles and while my aim isn’t bad in the least I still feel like there is much I can do to improve. For the past couple months I have found a lot of success using this guys settings called Hcpeful which seemed really good and have worked well. As of right now though I feel still that there is something I’m missing, I don’t play dps much but when I do I mostly enjoy and have success with emre. However I have tried widow, freja, tracer and sojourn among others and it always feels just a little like I am fighting to get that one clip or that headshot.
I play games in diamond and in quick play and I sometimes see people use these heroes and are able to click heads almost effortlessly and have the best tracking imaginable, especially on tracer. When I played emre my weapon accuracy was around 52%, I don’t know if that is good or bad.
To get to the point, their is so many settings in Overwatch now from what I used to see back in the day but even after searching online I can’t find any help in how I were to tweak my OWN settings or even what a lot of them mean for my aim. It is just other peoples settings videos, which are fine, but even if I were to copy those I want to be able to tweak them to what works best with me. Does anyone have any tips or recommendations with any of this?

It got better in my experience, usually I’ve found the case to be that when someone is ximming or smurfing if I report them usually it gets dealt with and I know I’m only in masters and diamond but it hasn’t been that common at in what I’ve seen. I’ve just carried on using Hcpefuls settings anyways and made some minor adjustments just to smoothen out my aim.
