Crossplay Matches in Overwatch 2 now include the contentious Aim Assist feature

Blizzard will continue to carefully monitor the change. Aim help is far from a flawless science. There is a lot of tuning that goes into it to ensure that aim help does not overwhelm controller users. Skill should still be the most important component while playing Overwatch 2, whether with a gamepad or a keyboard. Having said that, Blizzard obviously wants to guarantee controller users can compete with PC users, even if PC users believe it’s unfair. It’s difficult to argue that enjoyment shouldn’t be the emphasis as long as it’s not in Competitive mode.
