You know… You’re taking the definition of the phrase a little too far.
If they allow it? Yes, that’s fine. If they don’t? No.
I thought he was just being nit-picky, but at this point I’d say yes. He is indeed complaining that he can’t cheat. He’s going so far as saying having a good computer is the same as cheating…
At this point I can’t tell if he’s just trolling or genuinely upset that he’s not allowed to cheat.
Why would they not allow it? Mouse and keyboard aren’t third party applications so it’s all good right? They give the user no advantage over a controller right?
You’re talking about in a tournament now, not talking about Overwatch anti-cheating policy. The 2 don’t relate. If there was a tournament for consoles they’d probably require participants use controllers that they provide (that’s up whoever sponsored it), the decision would in no way be impacted by Overwatch’s anti-cheating tos.
I know you think you’re being clever, but no one said a m/k doesn’t have an advantage over a controller. Stop trying to put words in other people’s mouths.
We agree that better hardware gives you an advantage then. Good. Do we also agree that therefore neither the statement “every player equally equipped” nor “we strive for a level playing field” are true?
If the policy only relates to software and not hardware, why? Why the double standard?
There you go again putting words in other people’s mouths. If you want to cheat so bad just download a cheat engine and open it while you have Overwatch running, see what happens.
Just going to flag you for trolling and move on.
Which words? Blizzard said it themselves. See the first post.
Interesting development for Xbox users: keyboard and mouse support is being added. I wonder how or if Blizzard will respond or if they change their stance? Thread here:
Sweet lets standardize kmb on consoles
Overwatch has a 300 fps frame cap. It is in the settings I think.
Emphasis mine. This is not a level playing field in the generic sense, it is Blizzard’s interpretation of a level playing field. Failure to understand this nuance rests at the feet of users, not Blizzard.
Also, socioeconomic status, place of birth, race, gender, and other arbitrary factors carry much more weight in producing an uneven playing field than access to certain software or hardware … as is the case in any competitive sport.
What is their interpretation then? Their interpretation makes no sense. Why should it only apply to software?
How so? You mean in the sense of the talent not being produced? I agree, but that’s not something you can change really. The goal of any competitive sport is to test how talented a person is at a given thing. If socioeconomic status, place of birth, race, gender are what shape that talent then it is what it is.
You appear to believe that their interpretation of a “level playing field” must be consistent with yours. This is not the case. The two are independently established and will only overlap by chance. And it applies to software, hardware, and everything else I mentioned.
Those are nothing compare to the right information. Information is the key.
Jesus Hulk is still at it?
All those things do provide you with better/smoother/earlier information about enemy position.
“If someone has a monitor isnt that 3rd party software?? BAN THEM”
Come on. Theres a difference between a loophole and being silly.

lol, not even close. That is called game sense. Having high-quality gear and high-quality internet doesn’t make you a better player.

It makes you play better. Therefore, it makes you a better player. How can you even debate that? If you take two people of equal skill and one has the better gear, the person with better gear wins.
