Targeting assist for people who are bad

I would love to be able to play Trickster, because I think his cosmetics are so cool. And I would love to play Huntress because I think her cosmetics are so cool. I would love to be able to hit stuff with my tentacle as Nemesis.

But I can't tell where the middle of my screen is, and I have to move my control stick back and forth with the tip of my nail to try to finesse the aim. And not even the bots will stay put long enough for me to practice hitting them, and when I try, it's so frustrating that I feel like I have bugs under my skin.

Is it possible to have some kind of targeting assist? Even if all it does is just show you what you're going to hit?

Because, I feel like the intention is that people would know that. I feel like you're assuming the players can tell where they're aiming. So, if I can't tell because I'm unusually bad, can there be a setting for me where things can glow like they glow for the special powers in the anniversary event, and then I can at least say, "Yes, I have successfully pointed the camera at the survivor"?

    If it helps, there is a visual trick to telling where you're aiming with Huntress specifically. The bottom of her hatchet lines up with the middle of your screen horizontally, which can help a lot with aiming. I hate to be one of those 'practice makes perfect' people, but this really is one of those things. Also, are you on PC? If you can use mouse and keyboard, it's much easier to aim than with controller!

    I would recommend not using the bots to practice killers with any ranged attack. Unfortunately, their reaction times are way, way better than a human's would be, and hitting them is more difficult than hitting regular players most of the time. If you have a friend you can get into a custom match with you, that would be better! I did that when I was first starting Huntress; it really helped me understand how to aim and how her hatchets worked. This was before Trickster and Nemesis came out, but the same principle applies to them.
