Turn down the graphics settings as well, while you're at it.

I feel like a fucking idiot realising this after about 72 hours in the game, but… doing Genji's combo always felt a little muddy to me, or less responsive than I'd liked it to be. I'd press keys occasionally and not have them register, but waved it off as lag. Aiming precisely in the heat of battle was rare, and it always felt like something was off, and by something I meant I just chalked it up to being off my game. All the time.

Turns out this is literally what they call "input lag" and I was too dense to realise it.

I have a 60hz monitor, a GTX970, and play at 1920x1080. I never saw the point in going beyond 60fps with that refresh rate, and always thought lowering your settings to get higher FPS on a monitor that couldn't support it was snake oil for gaming. Didn't realise how wrong I was.

Now that I've uncapped my fps it's like a new game altogether. I can track at a distance with Soldier 76 (fuck you, Pharah), flick headshots with McCree are an actual possibility, and everything about Genji just… works. Screen tearing? What screen tearing? What the hell was I thinking?

I'm just a little sad I took so long to figure this out but if you're reading this and you've had those two settings on: Turn them off. Lower the graphics settings a little. Your gameplay will be much, much better for it. I know mine definitely has.
