Advanced Aim Assist Settings Causing Floaty Aim

Overwatch 2's aim assist feature is currently not working as intended for PC players. While setting aim smoothing and aim ease in should theoretically improve your precision and technique, PC players are finding that the higher the number is set to for these settings, the more floaty and difficult to aim it becomes.

Controller Settings Affecting PC Players

These aim assist settings are actually intended for players using a controller. The aim ease in and smoothing are incorrectly being applied to players using a keyboard and mouse, resulting in this bug.
