The production on this is really high. As a content creator myself I am pretty impressed by the quality of this video and the editing as well as graphics. Good job

for me. I main ashe and use linear ramp with high sens. I tried using dual zone and exponential. However, since i grew up on COD, there was never that sudden boost of speed whenever i push the stick further out. And so, linear ramp has been the best choice for me for me considering enemies are consistently moving, and always having to make sure you don't push the stick too out or too close can be game changing. Especially since you definitely need aim to use ashe.

Exponential is a type of graph that basically grows really quickly. It normally multiplies it’s y values after moving once in the x-axis

I think linear is the best one of the three because it’s the most consistent. For example When you put you joystick at 50% the sens is also at 50% with linear but with exponential it at like 60% or more and with dual an even weirder number. So ur controller feels more sort of natural in linear Also with the horizontal an vertical sens I think it better to have it exactly the same so when u want to aim diagonally u need to aim your joystick diagonally too, it feels wayy more natural

Hands down the best video on RU-vid explaining what these settings do! Everyone just says do this this is what I do where u actually went above and beyond and tested every aspect! Much respect to the amount of work you put into this! Best wishes to your future blessing are coming!

What an awesome video, your English is more than good enough brother thank you.

Dang, you really went into a lot of detail with your tests; good video. Personally what I found that worked for me was a high sensitivity with linear ramp, 0 aim-smoothing, and a medium aim-ease-in settings. It feels like a dual-zone set up with aim-ease-in sort of creating an artificial "zone 1" that I have more control over. Also in terms of exponential vs linear, it can help to think of it in math terms: With "x" being how much you push into the stick and "y" being how much your character moves linear -> y=x or y=2x (idk what the actual constant scalar value is) exponential -> y=x^2 or y=x^1.5 (again, idk what the actual scalar value is)

Great video, I've been looking for an explanation for the different aiming and could not find one with as much detail as yours. Thank you for doing the work and finding the exact meaning for each. Your English is better than most also. Keep it up

Exponential increase means that the rate of change also increases and doesn't stay as a constant. Y=X would be a linear increase whereas Y=X^2 would be an Exponential increase.

Absolutely great video, Thanks to this explanations I could finally adjust the settings to my playstyle and experienced instant improvements. Thanks

Awesome video bro… exponential means that something behaves like a exponential function in maths, like f(x)=x^2 i hope this helps

My man, I've been looking for something like this because i had no idea how aim ease in or smoothing worked or what it was. Well deserved like and definitely subscribed awesome job.

I appreciate the video. It seems like nobody cares about controller players. But here you are to save the day.

Great video. Will be sharing with friends because we were all confused about what each setting did.

Hi. Congratulations on the thorough video! One question: if you set different values for vertical and horizontal, don't you make the diagonals more difficult? I usually use the same values, but maybe I am making a mistake.

Awesome video. I made my advanced overwatch settings back in ow1 and completely forgot what they mean. Funny enough, linear is the only one where I can actually aim. The aim smoothing explanation was great. Was wondering why it is best to leave aim assist ease in at 50% and regular aim ease alot lower?

Woah i have been wondering on how exactly sens worked since the game went out, thank you! Aprecciate the massive work on this vid!

Amazing video!!! This is the first in depth guide for controller aim that I’ve seen. Keep up the great work!!!

You explain the settings very good. Nice Video!

This video is so good. You packed in all the info, thank you

So much effort for overwatch settings Love it

needed that thank you brother

Awesome video brother! Thank you

such a nice work . keep it up!

Thank you brother, you have earned a subscriber. May I know, why you don't recommend "linear ramp"?

Thanks for this video, really helped me to understand the various aiming methods. I'm gonna give exponential a try with the settings you suggested, I already gave it a try in the shooting range and it feels much less floaty so I think it will help.

This is a great video, thank you for your hard work 👏🏻👏🏻 keep doing content like this, congratulations

Great vid man

Very informative video, thank you for explaining the settings, because Overwatch 2 does a poor job of explaining the settings. I just wanted to make sure - are those graphs made from actual data? Because for me it feels like exponential ramp graph should curve it another side, as in it gets faster and faster, but from the graph it seems like it gets sudden boost at the start and then it eases off at the end 🤔

Thank you this was very helpful

Great video, very informative and helpful. Never played overwatch before so this was really helpful. You got a new sub

I love how the dudes just like “in Daniels opinion” just so he gives a disclaimer that not everyone’s gonna be a pro right when they use his choice of settings. Awesome and informative video, much respect 🤘

I would love to see a video of you going over every character. You make great videos explain everything well and make it simple for everyone to understand.

Just one thing. Aim ease in is a setting meant for Linear ramp only. Devs stated this in a video from the first game Aim smoothing is for Dual zone.

Sir thank you this is very detailed easy sub

Thank you very much for breaking down what each setting actually means

In general exponential - like in the mathematical expontent or "to the power of" - describes a non-linear/non-constant, but changing relation between two parameters. (in diagrams like the ones you showed this technically is always the case if you have a curved line instead of a straight one…) The easiest example is probably a driving car. If you don't move the throttle- or brakepedal, the car will always move the same amount of meters per second (linear). But if you throttle up, it will cover more and more meteres each second (exponential increase). It's the same here: If you move the stick twice as far, an your view moves double the distance (or rather angle) per second, this is linear. Expontential means that your turnspeed increases harder the more you displace your stick. In theory, those settings exist to have both accurate microadjustment as well as fast turn rate… The generall opinion about this (btw also regarding mouse sense) is that its easier to get used to constant/linear realtionships, which is why most people will recommend or like linear over exponential. Imho, it's just personal preference. On PC, I always liked a customized mouseacceleration over linear behaviour. On PS4/5, I'll still have to figure it out, which is why I'm watching this vid ;)

Brother this is really great I love your videos so much it helps me a lot

Great video, thanks you

As a former Apex player with little to no idea what these aim type discussions are I have fallen in love with Genji's aggressive and fast paced game play, but unfortunately Genji is a hero that needs to be looking around to an excessive degree and currently my aim settings aren't fulfilling their duties. If you would, please make a video for genji settings with numbers that allow us to turn ariund quick and accurately. I am also happy to hear what anyone else suggests so please do leave a comment. Your english is certainly not perfect but you speaker better than my East African father and the accent adds a bit of distinction to your content that myself and your subscribers surely appreciate :) keep up the work I love your vids!

thx man, I didn't even know aim ease in was deadzone now my aim is better with no stick drift tq.

Great video man ur English is great but not as great as ur breakdown in new to Overwatch and had trouble finding controller content for pc unroll I found ur vids….much love ❤

Could you make a specific video for best Hanzo settings? liked & subscribed!

Amazing video bro

Is there a setting where you can put settings for each hero? In paladins it has that where all the champs are listed and you can put specific sensetivities for each champ and saves it..😌😌 I wish Ow had that

May I have the question, why do u say/think that one should never play with linear technique? Just curious what are the downsides in your opinion?

What settings should I use for Hanzo?

Hey Danial, Daniel here. Appreciate the videos muchly 👍 I was hoping you could do an updated dual zone test with ow2s new deadzone settings. Curious to know exactly when dual zone starts at with 0 in game deadzone on a pro controller which also has a 0 deadzone set and whether this sligtly changes zone 2s activation point? (I'm assuming it does) Thanks!

this is amazing work!

Bro you blew my mind. What a video. Very helpful

very informative! and your English is great!

Which one do you think is better

Your English is great bro, keep the good content coming🤟🏼

would you recommend same settings for both Cassidy and Hanzo?

Dude you are awesome i liked and subscribed

Nice vid bro! Please do best controller settings for all heroes 😭

Linear for me is the best to use on Overwatch. It feels super natural imo.

nice vid sir... but sadly i find OW2 aiming settings underwhelming.. i hope they implement something similar from Apex Legends' ALC

Thank you bro, this video helped me a lot.

40 seconds in. Already liked 👍

Thx bro

Perfect video bro.

Please do settings for Zenyatta

Your English is good.

Amazing video!!! What about bastion?

Would like a Widowmaker guide

REALLY need a guide in setting for sombra nice vid thanks

Thank you

Persian accent never die!!!😊

Ive playn since 3 years linear its really good if u train with ur self

Aim ease in is NOT for deadzone. For some reason people keep conflating aim ease in with the indirect effect of your deadzone increasing. It just lessens the initial gradient on the graph

Thank you so much for the thorough video. Being rather new to competitive fps games in general this helped me wrap my brain around the different sensitivities. Would it be possible to go over Hanzo or any of the other precision heros?

PLEASE make suggested Aim Settings for every hero!! I'll patiently wait for the Widowmaker video. LOL

Why does all my settings Feels so bad now when overwatch 2 came out???

Absolutely I just found you out. I'd love if you covered settings for every character

I’m a switch Ana player what aiming method would you recommend?

Thanks for this, I turned mine to exponential and reduced the ease in a bit and now I’m destroying as Widowmaker 🫶

Ummm if you have time can you please make a video talking about the uncontrollable scrolling on PlayStation Thank you in Advance if you do it 😁

Use linear ramp if you put the effort in its like one of those things where it's harder but has high reward especially with precision Rings

Linear ramp is the best aim option BY FAR it’s so much more responsive than any other ones

Can you please make a aim setting video for lucio? I started playing overwatch 2 last week and I like Lucio a lot but I miss many shot I am confused and can’t figure out what settings should I change

Hi Danial, do you have any recommend duel zone alcs on apex for someone who plays 100 horizontal and 100 vertical with the duel zone technique for overwatch? Any help would be amazing, thank you

Can you do ashe best setting and zone

oh shit this comes in just handy .thanks big time.

How much is the boost in sensitivity on the outer threshold of the joystick in dualzone? x2, x3?

Linear Ramp is great, just saying

Linear ramp is better in every way change my mind

Heyy I don't know if you will see this message or even do it but can you make a best settings video for the hero kiriko and also the hero ashe I use controller 😀💯

Can you do a kiriko setting

Hey, I',m curious if you can replicate the Dynamic aim response curve from MW2 to overwatch 2, from what I understand exponential ramp is the closest thing to it yet when I use that it stills feels different

on pc i don´t have all these options?

I hate trying to find a good sensitivity, I had a set sens in ow1 but for some reason it didn't transfer with all my stats and skins and stuff so now I gotta find it all over again, it's either way too fast or way too slow, I can never find the perfect sens for me

CAN you do an vidéo for hanzo

You dont feel like your sensitivity is too slow? Cause I play 100 and 100 and it still feels a bit too slow some times

what would you recommend for roadhog?

I think linear is the best one. I've been playing linear on every shooter game that has it as an option.

Make about best aim settings for each hero

that music disturb and distract, and other sounds you added

Good settings 😀
