Does controller deadzone affect aim assist?

[u/fightercatrules]

Has anyone noticed that controller deadzone affects how aggressive or less aggressive aim assist reacts in warzone?

Reason I ask is I played with my wife's beat up o.g. Xbox controller last night and had to shift the deadzone to like 12 to keep both sticks idle. Also noticed my AA was just not as active and alot if shots where it would normally glide to someone it didn't.

Two games later I switch to my new series x controller and down the deadzone to 5 bang....the glide and stickyness was more prominent.

Am I crazy? Also I play on console currently.
