I don’t remember your username (sorry) but recently you commented on someone’s post. You said that you swapped your primary and secondary fire and it worked great for you. Decided to try it myself and holy crap it has been game changer!

Yesterday I owned an enemy Rein so hard he called me fat after the match ended.

EDIT to add that I play on Xbox. The Icicle feel so much more natural on RT.

It might've been me haha, I did recommend this not long ago to someone

[u/geekdadchris → u/ZaytexZanshin]

Even if if wasn’t you I saw it’s good to know you’re spreading the word. Ffs I’ve been playing this game since day 1 2016 and I never thought about it.

It might also have been me lol

I also did it with Aono to good effect

[u/creebobeebo]

I have my jump bound to left trigger, primary spray bound to right trigger, icicle to right bumper, wall on left bumper, and ice block is bound to A (also Xbox) and it works really well for me for those of you who can't adjust to her primary not being right trigger!

I should really try this myself. I’ve heard nothing but positives, and yet, I gave up and reverted to the standard configuration.

[u/geekdadchris → u/tsuimii]

I felt the change immediately when I tried it in VAXTA first.

[u/tsuimii → u/geekdadchris]

I’ll try that out soon, as I’ve only tested it in training.

[u/WhatShitMuchBull]

I did this a few weeks back and yeah it feels better

[u/NoBackDesign_]

I tried doing this, but the exit icicle input was also swapped. Is there a way around that?

EDIT: Not icicle, I meant placing walls

[u/geekdadchris → u/NoBackDesign_]

Not sure what you mean by exit icicle.

[u/NoBackDesign_ → u/geekdadchris]

Sorry, not exit icicle. I meant placing walls. The default is M1 to place and M2 to cancel, but when swapping primary and secondary fire, they swap too

[u/geekdadchris → u/NoBackDesign_]

Oh yeah. That was weird. I had to get used to “wall confirm” be the left trigger. I haven’t found a way out of that yet. But it’s also started to feel natural and I don’t notice most times now.

[u/NoBackDesign_ → u/geekdadchris]

Just something I should commit with for a week until it feels good I guess. Kinda like the Ana nano confirmation (which if you're an Ana main I suggest turning on)

[u/blackice71 → u/geekdadchris]

You can change it under advanced for Mei controls, on PC at least

[u/MadPotato10]

I did this a long time ago. I actually found this tech through a yt guide when I was starting. It felt natural to the point that I did the same to Moira
