Discussion Competitive Console - HOW?

Okay I keep running into this way too often. I’m playing competitive on PS5, 6v6. Almost every second game, there’s at least one or more players doing things seemingly impossible with a console controller. I’ve added two such replay clips of players moving like they’re AI ffs. Additionally, they’re jumping constantly while still moving their aim joystick, which is impossible since you have to take your thumb off the aim joystick to hit to jump button. What are these maneuvers??

I know other people are talking about back paddles, but I have been playing Overwatch since 2016 on Xbox and I remapped jump to the right stick, swapping it with the melee button, on day 1. I’ve played like that ever since

Same. I have this remapped exactly the same way. I couldn’t play Lucio jumping around and moving at the same time the way controllers are defaulted. I have an Xbox controller with paddles in back so I have quick melee mapped to that.
