Most developers don’t have support for it in their games, so in order to use them you need to purchase adapters from third parties that aren’t affiliated with the console or game developers. That’s not exactly ‘giving the option’ to use them.
I don’t particularly see the relevance. You can use keyboard and mouse on console, so the statement about the tools being unavailable is untrue.
that is wrong higher fps does matter, it takes away from the input lag
True, but it’s diminishing returns. Input lag at 300 fps vs input lag at 144 fps is virtually indistinguishable except at the highest level (and even then it’s not priority). What’s important is that your fps stays constant and is at least your monitor’s refresh rate. After that it’s preference.
difference between 144fps and 300 is 8 to 9ms vs 3 to 4 ms lag
This.
I, too, have a gaming PC, but why play on my 15" laptop screen when I can comfortable sit on my couch with a controller in front of my 110" projector screen and Bose sound system?

Which for 99.9% of people is not noticeable. Hell I play in M/GM and cap my fps to 144 because I don’t even notice it and would rather my game look pretty.
It’s the controller. Mouse and Keyboard and Controllers have different balance needs. So the players view points on the game can be very different,
It has nothing to do with being not as good. But shooting mechanics for PC games often get butchered so they can work on a controller and it frustrates people who play with M+K
that’s your preference, all I’m saying is that there is a difference and I bet more than .01% people will notice it.
Reason why pc makes fun of people who have a ps4 or xbox is because those people bought the wrong console and pc is just jealous.
Ouya is the best platform for every game ever since 1890.
Yes, higher frames is the most important thing.
It depends on the player. DSPStanky was top 500 on console, placed in plat on PC and climbed to top 500 on pc. I dont hide the fact that I am less skilled on KB and M because of years of playing on a controller. The game does feel a lot faster on PC and mechanics makes a huge difference. If you look at the the top players on PC and PS4, you’ll see the top player is a mercy player while the top player on PC is a Zen main. You can get away with not having the best mechanic but having amazing game sense on console where on PC, mechanics makes a huge difference. Also so people don’t think im talking out of my butt, you can check out my PSN accounts on overbuff, grimarchimedes17 and rllybadatgames. Obviously this is my opinion based on personal experience.
Is it possible to use a PS4 controller on PC?
Yeah, you need to install DS4Windows though.
(I do it myself to test things on PC with a Controller)
Ah okay, I don’t have an issue using a keyboard but I always prefer controller
In general using a controller gives you worse results. I’m sure there are exceptional players that do better with a controller than KBM setups.
Anyone that can play at a high level with controller has my respect, as I know I’m rubbish with controllers in FPS games (well aside from Goldeneye 
).

Because people believe that we use “inferior” hardware and that makes us less than them somehow. Because they refuse to acknowledge the fact that we are all people who just want to play the game and have fun, that our choice of port to play on does not matter.

Its not bannable. Its frowned upon, but not illegal. Like jerking off on an airplane.
Personally I have nothing against console players, however I’ll try to explain where PC superiority complex came from.
Generally console version of Overwatch is considered by many as an afterthought. Blizzard has long history of PC gaming, with not all games ported on consoles and even less are popular there (or supported at all). Basically no one treats them as a console game developer.
Secondly, everything about Overwatch is PC first. Balance is supported only for PC with consoles being ignored. E-sports scene is entirely PC. All promoted streamers and content creators are PC. PTR is only available on PC, but patches are delayed due to console certification system. Skin promotions (Oni Genji, Police D.Va) are happen on PC first as well. Reporting system was only for PC. M&KB are not even acknowledged to be a problem, as well as unlimited smurf accounts.
Basically nothing tells us that Overwatch is not a purely PC game that was ported on consoles to milk some money. Devs ignoring it and console players demanding “weird” changes (like Pharah nerfs) are not helping it either.

Consoles don’t get much respect because:
-
You don’t make up more than 50% of the playerbase, prove me wrong and fill out my strawpoll here

Controllers are sucky to aim with. Why do you think that people want to play with Mouse + KB on your console?
-
Consoles can’t run the graphics settings PCs can 99% of the time.

You chose to buy a console, that’s limited in what it can do, rather than buying a PC for a slight premium. You can do so much more with a PC that costs 50$ more than an Xbox One X or PS4, with hardly any graphical downsides. Not to mention some laptops are also available to play OW and are portable.

It’s not that you’re not respected, but more of the fact that you still need aim assist possibilities.
