25 Years, One Sensitivity Change… Accused of Cheating (Overwatch)

I changed my sensitivity after 25 years and instantly started getting accused of cheating in Overwatch. Here’s what actually happened… I was going to create a video that was experimenting with changing my sensitivity. I've been gaming for a long time and have used the same sensitivity for the last 25 years! In every game I play, I will measure the distance a 360 degree turn takes on my mouse mat, then migrate the sensitivity to whatever system that game uses. I chose this sensitivity when I was young after watching a Quake 3 player at the i9 Insomnia LAN even in the UK in 2001. His aim was incredible and I originally believed that an ultra-high sensitivity would mean I'd move to targets quicker and be more accurate. After watching him play, I went home, changed all my sensitivity settings to the point where I had to cross an entire mouse mat to turn 180 degrees, and after a few weeks my aim had massively improved, and I'd got used to moving my characters around in the game. So... many of you guys are frequently asking for various settings, and my answer most of the time is to keep things consistent, don't change your settings around too much as you need time to develop muscle memory. So the video series I planned to make was to double my sensitivity setting from 3.0 to 6.0 and play 10 games and give you my opinion on the change, as well as showcase some of the struggles. After playing in the practice range, I actually thought a 50% increase is where I wouldn't mind playing at, so I'll change it to 4.5 and start trying it out in some games. 5 minutes later, I'm in my first Overwatch Stadium game being accused of cheating! Naturally, this made for a fun video on its own, so that longer-term project instead ended up as a quick video, but I may still investigate this later on to check the results. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Twitch:   / arx_uk   Main Channel:    / arx_uk   TikTok:   / arx_uk   Twitter:   / arx_uk   Instagram:   / arx_uk   Discord:   / discord   Want to improve your Moira Gameplay???
