I disagree with this, partly because controlling in OW is easier than swimming in underwater irl.

There will always be an element of discomfort to people starting the game with controlling it - not because the controls are bad, but because we as people don't move in the sort of zero-g environment people are put in. Like, nobody has ever really explained the controls of the game being bad in a way that puts the onus on the controls - every time I see anything about it, it's either amorphous or it ignores concepts such as momentum.

Some people take a little longer to wrap their heads around zero-g 3D spatial navigation, which is totally okay, but the controls are just "left, right, back, forward, up, down, and turn with stick". That's really basic.

this must be it

I mentioned in another thread that I was showing up my friend who'd beated the game twice within a few minutes of picking up the controller because of my Kerbal Space Program experience... a game I played on keyboard with an entirely different control scheme. The skills didn't actually transfer, just the ability to think about how you want to move did
