![]() ![]() There isn’t really a choice for ultrawide users because you must use the maximum 103 FoV to have some visibility. If you do not have a great aim, the extra zoom helps with heroes such as McCree and Soldier: 76, but the loss of vertical space is a big deal: you have more issues detecting and fighting heroes placed on high grounds, and this is really noticeable when dealing with a Phara flying in the sky. Horizontally, you can see as much as a standard 16:9 monitor, but vertically you are limited both at the bottom and at the top. ![]() The current implementation zooms in the image, thus cropping the game by about 30%, which leaves out important info you would be able to see with a 16:9 monitor. I play on a 34 inches ultrawide monitor at about 50-60 Centimeters / 1.6-1.9 Feet of distance, so I can share with you my personal experience. The extra field of view offered by ultrawide monitors does give an advantage, but I think the better reaction times provided by 144Hz and 200Hz monitors bring an even greater advantage in a FPS game such as Overwatch, and those are fully supported. I do not consider it a reasonable answer because we live in an era with a wide array of technologies, and among them there are monitors with a high refresh rate. The devs claim that using ultrawide monitors is unfair because you would have a larger vision than the rest of the players. FoV on ultrawide monitorsĭuring the Beta, Overwatch featured “true ultrawide support”, but they have removed it afterwards.Īt BlizzCon 2016, the developers explained the reasoning behind the change. Reddit user Moloch5k tested the following FoV values in Overwatch:ġ00 FoV: 1.05 times bigger and faster than 103 FoV.ĩ0 FoV: 1.25 times bigger and faster than 103 FoV.Ĩ0 FoV: 1.50 times bigger and faster than 103 FoV.ĥ1 FoV: (Widowmaker’s scope) - 2.63 times bigger and faster than 103 FoV.įinally, if performance is an issue, be aware that increasing the FoV will impact negatively your fps because your PC must work harder to render more on the screen. The targets look closer and bigger on the screen (which helps your aim), but simultaneously they also move faster across the screen by the same amount. Almost all the players use the maximum FoV allowed on PC (103), but there is one exception: Paris Eternal’s ShaDowBurn.Īlso note that the preference of Los Angeles Gladiators’ Surefour is not fully confirmed as it looks like he used a field of view value of 90-95 for a long time, but he might have transitioned to 103 as well. Unfortunately, the stats are not very exciting :P. The following graph and table show the field of view preferences of 230 professional and semi-professional Overwatch players (including OWL, Contenders, and famous streamers). In specific, Overwatch uses a horizontal field of view based on the 16:9 aspect ratio.ĩ0 horizontal FoV is equal to 74 vertical FoV with a 4:3 aspect ratio and to 59 with a 16:9 one.ġ03 horizontal FoV is equal to 87 vertical FoV with a 4:3 aspect ratio and to 71 with a 16:9 one. Do not forget this difference if you are trying to set the same field of view in all your games. It is important to point out that in some games (like Overwatch and Apex Legends) the FoV is calculated horizontally, while in others (such as R6: Siege) it is calculated vertically. Overwatch uses a horizontal Field of View However, very-low FoV values can also bring motion sickness and issues in close quarters combat as it is harder to keep a fast-moving target on your screen. If you struggle at spotting and aiming enemies at a mid and long range, a lower field of view value will benefit your gameplay. Everything on the screen is bigger, so it is easier to focus on where you are aiming. The wider the FoV, the smaller the enemy on the screen, so you need to be more accurate to hit them.Ī low FoV helps your focus. The truth is that a high FoV brings both pros and cons.Ī high FoV makes targeting more difficult. ![]() FoV pros and consĪccording to the PC gaming myth, a high FoV value is always the best choice in shooters because you are able to look at a wider area, which helps to spot any incoming enemy. When you increase the FoV, the camera zooms out, improving your peripheral vision. You may think to the FoV as a camera zooming in and out. Generally, there is not a “best” setting for the field of view, but it comes down to your personal preference, the size of your screen and how close you are to it.
