Why do binds make such a difference (controller)

I changed literally 2 binds last week(moving reload to r1/rb instead of x/square and extra character action to right stick) and my gameplay has drastically improved. I’m a hard stuck silver/gold and I’m having a great week because of these binds. I’m not sure if it’s because I switched mains (I started playing valk last week and I’m already at almost 1000 kills) or if it’s being able to track people while reloading which isn’t possible on default controller binds. Was wondering if anyone else finds this to be the case.

TLDR: changed a few binds playing better now, anyone else finds the same thing
