Director’s Take: Addressing Unapproved Peripherals on Consoles

The game feels best when matches are close and competitive, and everyone plays on a level playing field

Except I keep getting matched with GM as a bronze player.

With Xim Matrix, you can get scripts to have the aim assist super boosted and have it stay on the target for a much longer period of time. It’s not a literal aimbot but definitely close enough.

if the article is what i think it is, it’s a good “step” forward especially with catching ximmer’s but the overall problem overwatch has is a broader issue they still refuse to talk about which is cheaters are rampant everywhere then you have people who closet cheat as well it’s like layers of a onion… the aggressive obvious one’s are on top, the semi closet one’s next, the ones who try to really hide it and toggle on and off, and the even worse one’s who are normal good players who get beat in a match and auto assume someone’s cheating (AND BECOME THEIR OWN JUDGE AND JURY) and use their cheats they have on their pc to then change the course of a match. Which doesn’t make them any better than anyone else even though they think they are doing good.

it’s a slippery slope that needs to be addressed as well as shown to the community that you aren’t just giving up otherwise the game is dead and the community (the actual community) will just say screw it and leave people don’t put up with that crap anymore especially if a game dev is just refusing to do what they need to people move on so much faster nowadays.

This is one of the weirdest things i’ve read in a long time. i’m sorry.

When Players are on Console since 2016 when OW got released and they have their perfect settings, which includes aim-assist settings (which is NOT aiming 4 u btw.) and u remove a few options completely…it’ll mess up everything. You need to adapt 8 (!!) years of muscle memory. As someone already said: We dont have auto-aim. We still have to aim.

This is like Tim Walz calling anyone else weird. FPS games were not designed for console. The workaround of autoaim needs to be removed and k&m supported.

And muscle memory isn’t a monolith, if 8 years fixed your muscle memory forever or even just 6 months then we wouldn’t survive as a species.

If you’re a console player who can’t play with a controller, skill issue I guess.

oh my. :person_facepalming:
If they’re not designed for console: then go and play on your pc. hush hush. :slight_smile:

I don’t know why PC players care how console players play their games

“But controllers players are in my games ruining it with aim assist!!!”

ok, go complain to Blizzard and stop whining to us

they’ll always be whining i guess. I can’t stand their: YOU HAVE AUTO-AIM YOU CHEAT - excuse anymore. :joy: :joy: :joy:

Not really an excuse when you do have soft aim lock. When the game tracks someone for you, it’s not really fair to the M+K players.

It’s a good step over all to ban stuff like XIM, Cronus, etc.

Are you talking at yourself in a mirror?

I play on PC of course. What part of the conversation are you unable to follow?

Im following it dont worry. Its Just kind of funny that you’re in a thread about the console Community, telling me Something about we could adept 8yrs of muscle memory when you’re on PC and never played with a controller in console. So you cant know how it feels for us when they get rid of everything in our settings.

We had this in the first crossplay thing. It felt horrible because we couldnt adjust the smallest thing. Anyway. Im done here. Have a great day.

I don’t think you are, and with the reaching for zero argument. The only thing you have right is that controller is worse in this game.

You played on arcade sticks in actual arcades and loop games? And I have one now and controllers. Being good on one type of controller doesn’t disable you from anything else. You’re probably plat at most or something as well, you’re certainly not at the stage where you need to be worrying about muscle memory giving you a significant improvement.

It’s either a self-limiting mindset or an excuse instead of actually trying to improve.

Fornite just launched Ballistic Mode which is a 5v5 fps shooter and guess what it has official keyboard and mouse support on consoles. Go learn something from them blizzard, wont be too long until Marvel Rivals also add MnK support.

MR devs said they dont plan to crossplay EVER EVER for competitive modes.
Most casual lobbies you get straight clean peripheral/platform purity.

devs stated they don’t want XIM.
no1 wants xplay.
and PCMR certainly doesn’t want reverse-XIM.

the only games that have it are disrespecting the skill matchups of players. it’s usually a desperation act because they can’t appeal to enough only PCMR, or enough only console, in and of themselves, or they’re just juicing for the xplay market which is pathetic in shooter tbh.

i’ve watched 11 y.o. kids make better attempts at M+KB aim training. why are they in the same lobby as bald dudes playing from their couch or some chick on her switch on a city bus.

wait till you find out what input based match making means XD

wait till you hear what opt-out means.

is that a thing in overwatch casual base game? i seem to screenshot roughly 90% crossplay inclusion lobbies. remember the XIM uproar when KBM was in thumbstick land? that’s just a peripheral delta, not the additional platform or network deltas that must be accommodated for with record-setting code bloat.

why double standard? we don’t want reverse-XIM. as a PCMR just trying to find PCMR, every ow2 lobby has someone attempting to compete in FPS with their thumbs. that also implies solos vs. stacks btw.

there is almost always someone when there should never be someone.

if they don’t have the numbers for clean crisp basegame they don’t have numbers for comp. let alone these fake whitelists ft. same directors presiding over the worst reviews on steam ever.

the office needs a D&C

What are you yapping about man
