[Steam Input] "Old Gods, New Blood" - Controller Does Not Work on Startup

I've just made some observations and small tests related to this bug. Before this bug affected me, my omnidirectional stick could be partially pushed for a slowed movement (a classic controller trick ofc). The last two times I've opened the game and replugged my controller due to this bug I've noticed that it no longer works like this (only 0 or 100% speed).

Out of a random hunch I just (literally 5 minutes ago) replugged my controller for a 2nd time in the game session, & it fixed this observation. Going back to controller my speed with partial pushes of the stick.

Finding this interesting, I decided to restart the game for the sake of replication. My stick worked perfectly without the need to replug it. Then thinking it may make a difference, I restarted steam itself after closing the game. My stick worked perfectly on startup without the need to replug.

Naturally, the next step was to reboot my system, surely that would reset the bug on opening Deadlock, right? NOPE. My stick worked perfectly on startup without the need to replug.

I will ofc post again if/when I experience the need to replug my controller after initial Deadlock startup. To those who also experience this bug: have you at anytime replugged your controller twice after needing to replug it once due to this bug? If not, please test so and share if it made any difference at all.
 
As my previous post in this thread, I ceased experiencing this bug on the 19th of February. This persisted until last night, 2nd of March, when I opened the game up and had to reconnect my controller to be able to move.

Like before, I cannot slow walk if this is needed: something I didn't think I'd miss in actual matches outside of the hideout but I actually do notice the difference in how my heroes move in PvP modes. Additionally, double reconnecting did nothing unlike before where it somehow 'fixed' the issue for me for weeks.

As always, I will update if anything changes. No update means this current experience continues each time I open the game.
 
Subsequent starting of game sessions have had the controller working on startup again. An individual flook on the 2nd of March for some reason. While I'm glad I mostly do not experience this bug anymore, clearly there is some sort of inconsistency going on for me to get it once in a blue moon still.
