i played sticks for all of s1 and s2, a good amount of that was on octobrush lmao which is imo the most sticks-friendly weapon but i did end up branching out to bucket/splatlings/chargers later. as someone whos played both i think motion is obviously better but sticks isnt nearly as bad as ppl say it is. if your goal is to get s+ with sticks its absolutely doable, i got quad x rank in s2 by basically only playing sticks bucket. the way your control scheme affects your aim/movement/etc is only part of your gameplay. if you know your weapon/its matchups well and have strong game sense you can run circles around ppl with sticks
i ended up switching to motion a couple months into s3 bc i felt like i hit a ceiling with my aim/movement and i was getting frustrated. especially on chargers i remember feeling like hitting shots was just luck. since then i feel ive improved a lot at the game in a bunch of different ways and i think playing motion was a huge help. when im learning a new weapon i no longer get the feeling of "am i playing poorly bc of sticks limitations". also my charger game is wayyyyy meaner
i think overall if you play sticks (esp if its not bc of disability but out of personal choice) you should just do whatever you want. if youre comfortable on sticks thats fine, dont switch to motion just bc ppl are telling you to. focus on your own gameplay and if you feel like youre hitting the aim/movement ceiling then you could consider switching
