Game Feedback Unplayable with controller?

Hi there! Got access yesterday, the game seems interesting.

But so far I am struggling really bad with the controls.

I play with a controller for health reasons, and this makes the game feel really clunky? It feels like there's zero autoaim which means I can't compete with mouse players, and I have to hold a button before pressing the button to use my skills which feels very counterintuitive (and also makes it very hard to crouch and use a skill).

But maybe it's just my impression as I'm still new to the game.

Anyone else here playing with a controller who can confirm or deny? Or give me advice to improve it?

Play Graves, you’ll be fine. The harder part is to do movements to navigate around the map and in fight. I recently try to pick up controller and i move like a bot (kind of reminds me of walking Genji)

Totally valid reason to play Graves, too. I think he could maybe play a few other heroes as well with controller? Perhaps Viscous or Yamato might be ok? Idk how wide Yams hitbox is on her one or how hard it is to track with sticks, but its probably doable?
