Fortnite and cod already allow consoles to use kbm, why is blizzard so weird about this?
I’m a top 500 console player and never played kbm in my life. However I love overwatch so much and I’d love to try and play kbm, I’m not buying a PC to do that though.
Just separate lobbies based on input instead of platform. IE: controllers in lobbies with controllers, and kbm in lobbies with kbm.
I’m a console player and I bought a gaming pc simply for Overwatch. But I bought the cheapest gaming pc I could find. It cost me $600, and I can play Overwatch in 1080p at 144 fps. And I can also use the pc for other things besides playing Overwatch. I’ve used it since 2017 and it still works for this game. But yeah I get it if you don’t want to do that.
It’s just lame, like the Xbox series x can easily handle overwatch, hell even the og Xbox one could easily handle ow. I love consoles and I’m a big Microsoft Stan(especially with all the moves they have been making). I just want to be able to hook up a kbm to my Xbox and play on pc lobbies
same, i built my PC in 2019 because i enjoyed ps4 overwatch
really really REALLY good hardware has been out for many years and can be bought used for cheap. a 240hz setup can cost 6-700$ if you check the 2nd hand market for parts, and ESPECIALLY if youre patient and willing to drive out of your way for craigslist deals
stopped playing on console because of the cost per year to use console internet (thanks xbox for teaching everyone else to charge for that)
I’m strictly a single player gamer so I use my Playstation for that. Overwatch was my first multiplayer, so I thought I should just buy a cheaper gaming pc for that
It’s not that I can’t buy a PC. I could if I wanted to, but I already have a series x console, which can easily run all these games anyways. Plus other games already allow consoles to use kbm. I just don’t get why blizzard is so weird about it
people DO use keyboard and mouse on console anyway
whats stopping you
That’s ximming, and that’s for punks. I don’t want to kbm against controllers, I want to kbm against other kbm users
You need a zim to do that and cod dont allow that im not sure for fortnite plus its not up to the game its up to the console manufacturers to allow them.
Secondly you would have to remove all aim assist on consol
You don’t need a xim in cod, I’ve done it before. They also don’t need to remove aim assist if they just separate lobbies by controller and kbm
One cod its self at turnememt does not allow mouse and key board
Secondly you your using insane aim assist with mouse and key board on console how
My bad was only added to the new console thats on me. But ut still not allowed in turnememt
Ximming isn’t the same as just using a kbm with the game. I don’t xim and never will because it’s super scummy. However it is up to game developers. On my Xbox series x all I have to do is plug in a kbm and can use it to play cod. Same thing with Fortnite. However blizzard doesn’t allow this for some reason. Just make kbm native for console overwatch, and then separate lobbies based on input instead of platform.
As far as tournament go, that has nothing to do with the console or the game, that has to do with the events organizers
i respect that
Just XIM it dude, everyone’s using it in top500 but you.
It’s the trade off of going with a $150-400 gaming console.
Gotta pony up the real cash to get into the master race with KBM.
absolutely not. not because I don’t think you should have the choice but because that can ONLY make queue times longer and I don’t trust blizzard to actually separate the input methods
Ximming is for clowns. If you xim, your the scum of the earth
I play on console because I don’t want to have to use m/k. I have it on PC too and don’t enjoy the keyboard but the mouse is OP compared to gamepad. M/k would ruin it for me. At least I know now not to play anymore CoD or Mess with Fortnite. I personally hope only gamepads are allowed on console. Besides you can get a PC that’s twice as powerful as a current gen console for relatively cheap and use a m/k with much higher framerate than the normal 60 fps and120 max of console. As long as there’s a separate pool for gamepad and a separate pool for m/k, cool but it’d split the player base. I don’t want to play against anyone using a m/k when I’m using a gamepad. It’s basically cheating.
Or the guy who don’t waste time and do boosts fast and efficient 
Isn’t then asking MKB plug a scam move as well? 
How is that a scan move when I’m asking to be placed in pc lobbies with mnk?
