Did they change aim assist on console again this season?

News & Discussion

Hey everyone,

I’m on console and since the beginning of the new season in Overwatch, something feels really off with my aim.

Before the season started I was consistently sitting around 70–80% accuracy, and now I’m struggling to stay around 50%. It feels like my aim assist is either weaker, less sticky, or just inconsistent compared to last season. Tracking especially feels different.

I haven’t changed my settings, deadzones, sensitivity, or anything like that. Same controller too. Did Overwatch change anything with aim assist values or console settings at the start of this season? Or is anyone else experiencing something similar?

It’s honestly pretty frustrating because it feels like I suddenly got way worse overnight. Just trying to figure out if it’s a stealth change, a bug, or if I’m just in my own head. :(
