The early fortnite pros that used mouse and keyboard are now relearning the game on ps4 or xbox controller so that they have the ability to better compete.

“Controller pros are dominating PC Fortnite thanks to “overpowered” aim assist”
It comes down to how good the aim assist is. Fortnite’s assist is super generous but to my admittedly limited knowledge, Overwatch’s aim assist doesn’t even come close to how forgiving it is. So controller really has no chance of being better than keyboard for this game’s professionals.

On overwatch? N O.
On fortnite? Sometimes.
On Rocket League? Yes.
It depends on the game/genre.

Also add skill level into the mix. We have never seen aim assist gm top 500 on console go against PC top 500 with aim assist existing.
No one can really comment on the matter without it being applied In practice
Not in Overwatch. While I agree that using mkb on console is like using a cheap aimbot because you can stay on targets with microflicks thanks to the aim assist PC is still king. The turn speed on controller is extremely slow and you don’t get aim assist on pc when using a controller.
1)Overwatch aim assist is garbage.
2) I am pretty sure aim assist doesn’t work on PC anyway.
controller is good for movement imo but aiming is quite alot harder however you get used to it

is better with the controller , i play on PS4 ,
P.S. Dont even think about the XIM interface its a piece of crap for OW
Aim with mouse is way better in OW.
But walking with an analog is better than WASD, it theoretically would release more fingers to press more ability buttons, but the way controllers are designed you can still only press 2 more buttons besides the thumb moving the analog.

The ultimate master race is a joystick for movement (with buttons, obviously) and a mouse for aiming
