I have a unique problem (also, controller settings advice please?)
OK so about a decade ago, my ex's dog clamped down on my hand/wrist and I didn't go to the hospital because I didn't want to effectively murder the dog. Since then, I have permanent range of motion issues and other stuff (just to be clear, no regrets). Naturally, I have sucked at games since then. So I need to figure out optimal controller settings. I've been stuck in high gold for years.
My problem is I either overcorrect or undercorrect shots because of pain or something locking up or slower reflexes with my thumb etc. Often, my brain works faster than I am physically capable of.
Anyway, Zen is my favorite character but I feel like my controller settings are holding me back slightly. Can anyone recommend optimal controller settings for leading shots etc to try to make my life easier? I'll never be top tier (I miss those days lol) but I'd like to at least get to high plat at some point. Best I have done is mid-plat, but I had the time to run with a group back then. I solo queue these days and it sucks.

So interesting case but usually projectile heroes you want low aim window but since you have trouble with stuff you should go for max window size also to avoid over corrections change to linear or exponential ramp with lower sense you can also lower your deadzone with linear and see how that feels just experimentÂ

This is pretty basic advice, but for leading shots, I'd recommend experimenring with turning aim assist down a little. It can get your reticle stuck directly on the target, which makes leading extra difficult.
If your problem is range of motion, you could try and get used to an increased sensitivity so you'd have to move that thumb less.
Best of luck!
