Overwatch 2

Unfortunately there is no way to directly convert screen distance between games for now, but I plan to add this.

 

The way you have to do it now is like this:

Select Windows as "Convert from" and enter your desired distance. This is the 2D distance, meaning how far you want to move your mouse to cross the screen in Windows. Then select Overwatch and Hipfire as Convert to:

Now note the Sensitivity 1 for Overwatch (5) and the ratio (6.0316).

Then select Widowmaker ADS in the Convert to Aim, and enter 5 as Sensitivity 1:

It now calculates that with Sensitivity 5 you need to set the Relative aim to 50 to get a ratio of 6.0908, which is the closest match possible to 6.0316

 

I have double checked this in-game, and it is correct.

I've made me a mess and don't understand anything :c

I have 10 hipfire with 800dpi at 1080p.. what sensitivity I need on widowmaker to feel the same way?

With default FOV (103) it will always be 50!

 

But if you change FOV, it gets very tedious for now...

 

To get the most accurate result with different FOV, here's what you do (and this is not very intuitive...). First you need to find a constant for your ratio, and as of now the only game to support ratio conversion is osu!. So enter values like this, converting from Overwatch with in this case 90 FOV and your other settings to osu!, note the Keep field in the Convert to section, osu! allows you to select either distance or ratio, which is key here. Select ratio:

Now take note of the osu! sensitivity, 1.41 in this case. Use this, and convert from osu! to Overwatch and Widowmaker like this:

This conversion will keep the ratios as close as possible, so with 90 FOV in overwatch the correct Relative Aim for Widowmaker is 57, assuming resolution and monitor size is the same between all conversions (important!).

My fov is 103 as default so 50 sens for widow works fine for me as I tested right now. Thank you! btw, is accurate? I mean does it has discrepancy between 10 on hipfire and 50 on widowmaker?

It's as accurate as it can get it without any decimals. Still it should not be off by more than max 1% though.

This was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much!

Overwatch is now updated with full support for the Relative Aim Sensitivity for Widowmaker

 

And it's not Relative Aim 38 to match the screen distance at 103 FOV, it's 50.

 

And the math is quite simple; The Relative Aim is a multiplier, and the FOV is about half. So by setting it to 50 your 360 distance doubles, but since the the FOV is ~half, the screen distance is the same.

Do you know what setting Relative Aim Sensitivity to 0 does? It feels really good and I have been using that.

Thanks. Strong placebo then, it felt much better than 30. 

Could you add Widow zoom sensitivity that is equal to zoom_sensitivity_ratio "1" in CS:GO?

yeah, and maybe for battlefield also, and in the future for all games containing a sniper rifle 

LOL

Did anyone try the Overwatch sensivities?

When i compare mine with cs. It is real slow?

Did anyone try the Overwatch sensivity comperison?

I tried Overwatch from CS sensivity.

1.6 sens (19020x1080, 800DPI) gives me 5sensivity for Overwatch which is exteremely low?????

Just verified that nothing changed between beta and release, so this should be correct. It will be off by about 6% though, since the Overwatch sensitivity is limited to whole numbers. But other than that it shouldn't feel too slow.

You are right i missarranged my windows sensivity. It is perfectly works!! Thanks a lot

People over on Reddit still seem to be going by 38 instead of 50 for Widowmaker, based on this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/4i0qdn/how_to_make_your_widowmaker_scoped_sensitivity/

Is that wrong?

I'd like to understand more about why they're wrong - can you tell what they think they were doing with the formula they were using?

When you look at this thread, which deals with a similar question in CS:GO, the guy finds two different numbers, one of which is correct for small mouse movements and one of which is correct for large mouse movements. Why are we only finding one number for OW?

Hey all,

Been trying to wrap my head around the relative aim sensitivity. I currently doing the following settings:

From a sensitivity of 2 in game for over watch since I think that's where I should be at to match BF4. Where should I put Relative aim sensitivity to match my BF4 experience? Anyone know? Love this site btw, been a long time member!

Best,

Dazs

are you playing bf4 with the default fov? do you have uniform aiming enabled with the coefficient at 133 %?

and what's your fov in overwatch?
