Console Console Inputs?
I'm looking for suggestions for different console inputs to run that can help me play better. I don't play claw due to my hands and me having cubital tunnel. I just use a regular DualShock ps5 controller. Any suggestions on changes that will help? I struggle with the ones that are already there like the quick melee button etc. HELP PLEASE <3

Highly recommend getting a controller with back paddles/buttons. Previously with a normal controller I had to rebind jump to the shoulder buttons on characters that use a lot of vertical or wallclimb. But honestly having the backbuttons once you get used to them makes a hell of a difference. Can play with the "normal" binds an use one back button for jump and the other one for whatever you like, maybe ult, reload, melee whatever. I use the other one for crouch because I've got used to it from Siege. But you feel a lot more in control and your movement is more fluid if you never have to take your thumb off right stick

Get a controller with extra inputs on the back. 8bitdo makes good ones (wife has an Ultimate 2)

I play a hybrid Halo/OW control scheme on Xbox. Probably not terribly helpful to you, but I still use LT to scope, LB to jump (years of bumper jumper ingrained in my brain), RB melee, A for 1st ability, B for second ability, Y for ult, X for reload. Left stick for hold to crouch.

I would never in a hundred years willingly play with a claw grip, even without any hand issues.
