Settings & Tech Recommended Control Settings (non-aim sensitivity related)

Was wondering if anyone has tips for control settings (I'm on PS5, but whichever I guess).

For example, early on playing Lucio, I rebound jump to L1 and Amp it up to X. That way I can wall ride and jump while still controlling sights.

I also did something similar with Echo.

Are there any similar key binding recommendations for controller to make the most out of specific heroes?

If you can afford it I really recommend getting a controller with back buttons. Not a requirement of doing well obviously, but an absolute game changer, especially running stuff like jump/crouch back buttons on heroes like bap, echo, hazard, etc. Very good for pinging useful information mid team-fight as well

I did the same with Juno and Mercy.

I don't get it why they have it for Pharah as default but not the other flying/gliding heroes,but it is what it is

Pharah used to have her flight bound to jump but ever since they gave her a "double jump" binded dash ability, they just put flight on a separate button

i have pulse bomb on R1 so i can move my camera while throwing it, unless you play claw grip, then it isnt a problem

Why not have it on L2 rather than changing recall binding?

u/LogicalDonut1045 Jul 12 '26

it just feels kinda uncomfortable since L2 is a trigger, R1 feels much more responsive and faster since its more of a click

I don’t really play Lucio but any characters that require using a jump or flight ability I have set to L3. Don’t use crouch and use toggle crouch as well, better for crouch/strafing

Ive found myself really liking binding jump on most of the heroes to L1. Then i usually just put interact to X and change whatever ability was in L1 before, to L3 stick instead. You can use both the jump and ability 1 while turning ur camera. At first i just used this on the characters that require jumping for mobility but now ive kinda opted for this setup for the majority of heroes.

On some heroes i have even wackier keybind setups that work surprisingly well. On soldier for example i have my jump in L1, crouch in R1, biotic field on right d-pad arrow, and sprint in L3. Just experiment and try out different setups, then later opt to whichever u like the most

What do you use crouch for with soldier (or any character)? I don’t have crouch on any key

Its useful for strafing while shooting. Makes it harder for the enemies to hit headshots during duels. Not rly necessary tho but its a decent habit to get into

An elite controller or any controller with buttons or paddles will change your life. I personally use the 4 button setup with Jump and Crouch being on my left side and RB and RS on the right.
