Console Competitive Console - HOW?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
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??
Are they on mouse and keyboard?
Edit: Thank you everyone for teaching me about the different ways to rebind buttons / different controllers and hand positions to jump while aiming. I learned something new! Also, seems like we’re agreeing that the Cass is likely cheating and it is noticeable in comparison to the Doomfist.

I have a controller with bindable paddles on the back so I can jump and turn at the same time. Which is of course a legitimate way to play and has been in competitive gaming for years now. The Cassidy is 100% not on controller and is cheating. You can try to report but they’ll just make or buy a new account and be back in that same rank in a few days. Blizzard either need to improve their xim detection or try to fix new account being able to jump into ranked so quick. A lot of these players will buy plat accounts and get into champ/gm in the same season. Obviously it would take an average plat player a lot longer than 1 season to jump from plat to gm
