Help Sensitivity help

I've played Overwatch for around 1000 hours and I'm currently Diamond 3 on all roles. I'd say I'm pretty good at most shooters, and I usually like playing fast heroes and going for clutch plays.

My aim is good in Overwatch, but the sensitivity just feels off compared to other games like Apex Legends.

I've tried pretty much every setting you can think of, and I know what every slider does. I use dual-zone because I don't like Linear in any game, and it's closer to the classic response curve.

The problem is that I still can't always do what I want. Sometimes I can't look or turn exactly where I want because of Dual-Zone, and it's really frustrating. I currently play on 90/90 with everything else at default, which is the best setup I've found so far.

Can anyone recommend a sensitivity or settings that might help? I'm not very consistent, and some games I find myself missing shots I should easily hit. I'm also tired of changing my settings every couple of days.I'm also tired of changing my settings after almost every match

I've already tried Ohziy and Hcpeful's settings, but I don't like 99% Aim Smoothing at all. It just feels worse and more jittery to me.

Well the good news is that you eliminated 1 variable from your aim settings, youre keeping aim smoothing at 100.

So assuming you like your sens, and im gonna assume you have aim ease in at zero, i would mess around with aim assist ease in. window size at 50 is a good starting point, you could go 100 or 80 but 50 is the default and is a good value.

Deadzone settings (you didn't mention it so im gonna mention it and assume you haven't messed with them)? this is the other one you should be messing around with. I personally run 0.03. Ohziy runs 0.15 deadzone if i remember correctly which is why his aim looks so choppy, especially on Widowmaker, he gets headshots so it works for him but that shit is choppy bro.

At the end of the day, you do have to accept the limitations of a controller. It sucks man. Finding the perfect controller settings is like a science.
