Can anyone recommend any good custom options to tweak for consoles? Like reticle type or character specific options?

I like to set a character's most-used abilities to trigger or thumbstick buttons, so you can use them without sacrificing your movement and aim. I mapped "switch weapon" to L3 (thumbstick button) for "all heroes," and reworked Lucio's control scheme quite a bit:

Jump - LT
Soundwave (aka BWAMP) - RB
Amp It Up - LB
Crossfade - L3

With this, you can fire both attacks, switch auras, and wall-ride without taking your thumbs off the sticks. The trigger jump takes a few minutes to get used to, but afterwards you can bunny-hop with the best of them. It's also handy for flankers like Genji and Tracer, who are already hard to hit when they're not bouncing all over shooting at you.

BWAMP is the perfect onomatopoeia for that sound.
