I've got you in my sights.

Aiming is everything in a first-person shooter. Even with some heroes in Overwatch 2 having varying degrees of difficulty and playstyle, you still need some level of good aiming to get the full use out of them. With that in mind, you should consider adjusting your crosshair reticle. When you do, here are our recommendations for the best settings to utilize.
