not sure if this is the right spot
I was thinking about sensitivity and how people say it is all preference but I don't think I have seen many people who play tf2 or another game at a high level with a sensitivity higher than 20cm/360 and if they do they play projectile classes.
Is a higher sensitivity limiting in the sense that it is impossible to get to the same level of hitscan aim with a higher sensitivity than a low sensitivity or is it just because people prefer lower sensitivities even if it prohibits their movement?

No. Sensitivity is all preference. I know a few scouts that play with 5ish inches per 360 who absolutely lay waste to everything in their paths.
Some people just prefer lower sens, and others prefer higher.

i have a problem with changing my sens a lot and if you continue worrying about what sens you use then you'll end up like me lol
find a sens that fits you and stick with it

(Im basically just a pubber) But I used to rock a like 2 inch 360 and I was inconsistent as hell. As I got more interested in playing the game to win tho I bumped down my sensitivity for consistency because in my experience it is easier to be consistent at higher sensitivities up to a point. Right now im at almost exactly 20cm/360 and if I mained scout I would probably consider lowering it some more. But thats just me, its all your feel.

didn't there used to be a soldier in invite that played with mouse accel?

I know kaidus played with mouse accel for a long time if not his entire career
But in all honesty the general idea behind having a higher/lower sens is dependent on the class you play sometimes
Soldiers and demos typically have higher sensitivities than scout mains, who use their lower sensitivity to track better (unless you're b4nny who completely breaks this trend). I've also heard things about some medic mains having even higher sensitivities than some projectile classes but in reality you should find something that you can do flicks and aim projectiles at wierd angles to get those legendary frag movie airshots, but also where you're comfortable with being able to aim a weapon like a shotgun or scattergun competently. This may cause you to lower your sens a bit, but developing the muscle memory to be able to hit all of those shots is what you're really looking to do. Some players can play hitscan classes and aim a shotgun well with a higher sensitivity, while others focus on their hitscan aim and base their sensitivity off of that.
TL:DR - find a sensitivity that allows you to both track and flick and stick to it. Whatever you find comfortable is right for you once you start building that muscle memory.

b4nny plays with like 5 inches / 360 and he's a top 3 na scout so i dont think it matters that much tbh

XenThePybroIs a higher sensitivity limiting in the sense that it is impossible to get to the same level of hitscan aim with a higher sensitivity than a low sensitivity or is it just because people prefer lower sensitivities even if it prohibits their movement?
It's not impossible and its definitely doable. Higher sens is just more inconsistent for hitscran.
From a general M&KB gaming perspective (not just TF2), lower sens forces you to use your arm to aim and look, and your wrist for smaller crosshair movements. Using more of your arm gives you better control of the mouse and having more mouse travel gives you more room to make more accurate, precise, and deliberate adjustments with your wrist/fingers.
Higher sens doesn't quite utilize anything below your wrist. A small twitch of the mouse/wrist would likely cause you to overaim and miss that headshot if you haven't built superb muscle memory. It's more efficient for looking around doing 180s and 360s, but its less efficient for more precise aiming.

I used to use around 13 cm/360 and higher for hitscan, but I only used my wrist to aim. I switched to using my arm and lowered my sensitivity quite significantly, now it's around 28 cm/360 (20 for projectile classes).
But anyway

Worried about sens for a while and whether mine was high enough to be able to react quickly.
Now I play (mainly scout) on 15.6 ins or 39 cms, though until a few days ago I was still making micro adjustments. Higher sens just feel to chaotic for me and make me flick badly. Most scouts play on less, but way way better scouts have played on lower, so it's not an issue.
People are right though, it's best to just pick what feels good for you. I think my aim just sucks, rather than my sens being crap.

All weeaboos use stupid high sensitivities and they usually have mongo dm so don't worry about it

camperb4nny plays with like 5 inches / 360 and he's a top 3 na scout so i dont think it matters that much tbh
Never liked this argument because he also has 2000 hours on scout and another 5k on demo and soldier combined...not everyone can play that much tf2.

the question was

It's not limiting in the sense that it's impossible to play at the highest level with high sens but I do think it's limiting in that it will take longer to develop that aim.
and yes I'm aware his question was only if it's possible but I think that also taking how long it would take to improve into account is important.

I dont agree, I think high sens is not limiting anything in anyway. It's just what you are just to, if this guy always had a high sens there no reason to go lower sens.

as long as you can be precise and aim quickly it doesn't matter what sensitivity you use
