The input latency fix is the sleeper here. Anyone else noticing competitive modes feel less 'floaty' after the patch?
Yes — ranked feels tighter. Still waiting on the HDR calibration bug though.
Honest take: the marketing made this sound bigger than it is. The social overlay changes matter more than the firmware headline.
Disagree on the overlay. Latency is the only thing that changes how the game feels.
