Worse. Every time I have a loss now, 95% of the time it’s due to crossplay and having to carry dead console weight.
We should have been allowed to opt-out as PC. The console players can opt-out! Why the hell can’t we?! Make them play with other console players instead of making PC experience worse!

Literally. Ever since cross play came out the games have gotten horrid and it’s annoying. There’s been more smurfs than before!

That too. Especially because they’re free to make on console.
Blizzard doesn’t care. They don’t care about anything but a sequel that’s looking dead on launch.

As a console player I played in a pc lobby and had gold damage and eliminations as Winston.
Did the same thing on soldier. It was truly sad.
Of course I play r6 siege so I don’t need aim assist.
The difference is only noticeable when you hit masters and it’s still minimal.

And everytime I play on pc I have to carry brain dead pc players. Wonder who’s biased here and who’s not.
Pc players and console players both have brain dead players and it’s equal.

I see a lot of console players as new profile smurfs or grouped with new PC account smurfs to jack up the matchmaking.

which is pc silver…so i would disagree
Is that why warn climbed to masters with a controller on pc? I am only a diamond and he’s a gm. I could destroy a pc silver while eating.
im not sure who that is, if they are a top tier streamer, they have an advanced level of understanding of the game. and there are certain chars in the game that wouldnt really change vs keyboard and controller. and vice versa, there are chars that greatly benefit from having a mouse and keyboard.
you are entitled to your own thoughts, whether i agree with them or not is irrelevant. i responded to the question posed in the thread by OP. you seem to have been upset by what i said…and thats entirely on you, not me.
He is a console player who played ranked on pc with a controller. Stopped at masters shortly after placements and went back to console.
So no. Pc silver is not the equivalent of a much higher rank on console.
And they are a hitscan player by the way. All dps.
Not offended just you should realize how ridiculous and false your statement is that masters on console is silver on pc.
Crossplay entirely deleted the community on the Nintendo Switch. People still play Overwatch on Switch, yes, but the community that was formed within it is long dead.
The other consoles just run the game better and put Switch players at a disadvantage enough that they can’t feasibly play alongside them. Queue times were already horrendous, too - turning off Crossplay would never work for Switch players regardless.
Guess I needed to move on from that, though. I’ll miss it every day, but I have to push forward now.

there are always exceptions, in data they are whats known as an “outlier” i never said it couldnt be done. but the avg new pc player coming from console to pc will end up in silver because thats where belong until they learn the speed of the game, and then perhaps they can rank up. i never said they couldnt do that. simply that most console are the equivalent of pc silver, of which to say at this point in the game isnt that bad.
Now you are talking about someone learning a new input and playing pc overwatch on mnk and not controller. Completely different. Silver is of course still too low. No console diamond or higher even learning mnk will be silver. Just on gamesense alone.
Just like if a pc diamond who never touched a controller would still be gold on console.
You put a team of console plats against pc silver and pc silver will get destroyed.
you are entitled to that opinion, i would disagree.

Cross-play is the future. Shame on any company that gets it wrong in this day and age, imo.
Playing devil’s advocate here: The ladder should sort out any skill discrepancies meaning that a few weeks (possibly months) after introducing cross play between PC and console, a 3k console widow is as good as a 3k PC widow otherwise they wouldn’t both be at 3k.

is it a 3k console player using mnk? if so, then perhaps, although they would still lag behind in fps capability since most tvs max at 120.
What I am saying is that input methods don’t matter on ladder. In the beginning, console players may drop a little on average but after a few months they would be accurately placed and play with and against other people that are accurately placed. A 3k SR PC 240hz widow is not going to be better than a 3k SR 60hz controller widow. They are both at 3k because their skill is equal.
