I think modern hyper successful games especially going free to play, they need to add input cross platform support or general true/fair cross platform support between console and pc. With how modern the gaming world is we need to come together both pc and console players and accept that cross play must be a thing and all input methods need to be accepted. I feel very left out not being able to use keyboard and mouse while playing on a console. I want to use it fairly, I know other games have this support but I don’t want those other games. I want you overwatch. Please help make this dream come true.

Why not? You would literally be playing against PC players if you used a m+kb. That’s what input based matchmaking is.

If they are separated from controller players sure. If not hell no. Mkb against a mainly controller based community is a unfair advantage. I don’t need mkb sweats ruining my console games because you guys couldn’t accept the intended hardware when you bought the console instead of a PC.

How is it unfair? The cross play they added for qp they disable aim assist for controllers.
Just get to about mid Masters and you’ll see that mkb sweats already ruin games
It is very fun going against Widows who don’t miss, let me tell you

It is definitely a lie that 80% of top 500 are using third party software. If so blizzard would have had to stepped in by now. Even if that were true I see no reason why you wouldn’t want input based crossplay or at least the opportunity for yourself to hookup a keyboard and mouse.
Thinking about the gameplay experience in the future, they should at least allow K&M support on consoles, when playing PvE modes, at least.
Because at that point, it’s just an inconvenience to not have that option for console players.

Aim assist means less. A mouse has far better tracking than a stick because of how they are designed. The micro adjustments you can make in a timeframe are much more specific.
Yep, it is a lie. It’s actually more like 90%. As someone who has been in console T500 for a bit now, I can tell you that the large majority of them are using xim. Blizzard said a while ago that they don’t like MnK on console, but they won’t do anything about it. Genuinely don’t know why.

I can’t say I’ve ever been on top 500 so I can’t really vouch from my personal experiences so maybe it is true. Either way I don’t see why input matchmaking isn’t a thing it will diminish the xim users. Also yes of course mouse has more accurate aim then joystick does but that is if you’re comparing it to a default controller. A expensive competitive controller with 4 back buttons plus 120hz can keep up with a pc player if they have aim assist.
It’s completely true.
Thing is, no one at that point cares. It’s a given everyone uses it.
Mouse and keyboard support really should be a thing for consoles but they’d need to be queued outside of controller input players. That means pc players playing with a player base that more likely than not is running at 60 frames. I’d much rather have a teammate running consistently high frames compared to stuck at 60. This also cuts off a large portion of the console player base from themselves which is another problem. If you didn’t know, xims take mouse and keyboard inputs but translate it to the controller. Technically the input is completely possible in the realm of controllers as it literally is taken from the controller itself. All of that is to say, people who already use xims would just keep using them over native keyboard and mouse queues as they’d still have access to aim assist while keeping the keyboard and mouse inputs. It would split the player base on consoles and introduce all sorts of problems.
Mouse and keyboard is not the native input for console not should it be forced upon us. I like the controller and i NEVER want to play against ANYONE using mouse and keyboard while im on console. Its not fun, it is not a true display of skill ( your get your whole wrist to aim and i get a ducking thumb???hello!!!), and blizz needs to independendantly ban every single xim user for life from every device that has ever had a xim used on console.
You’re completely wrong in everything you’re trying to say. Console is simply a service being offered, keyboard and mouse, controller are just two ways of playing. Your sorry excuse of hatred towards players who use a different input device to play is just sad. People that have the same opinions kill games and keep them niche with small player bases. Warzone, Fortnite, two games that overwatch will never see players from or for not very long. This overwatch community is just full of hatred, racism, and toxicity I’ve never seen in any other game.

Ummm you read the same thing i did? I dont get any of your accusations from me (correctly) outlining mnk vs controller being completely unfair for the controller users.
I’m fairly certain that the people who want M+K on console also want separate pools for the player.

If you use a mouse and keyboard, play PC. No arguing.
Blizzard has already said they will never do anything about mouse and keyboard players on console, so it’s up to xim users to either play where they should be playing.
I outright refuse to play on my main account because the high-rank console servers are essentially PC servers. Most controller players who are in the high ranks are support players just pocketing the mouse and keyboard players.
Not even close. Maybe on dps but the best players on Console are easily still controller.
Thats more false info. The best console players are still controller. + Xim mouse translation is not nearly as good as PC mnk. Controller with aim assist is better then Xim with no aim assist. (Xim is still wildly better for players bronze to diamond.)
It is unfair but not much better then having a Razor controller or a high fps monitor.
Id much rather play native MNK VS PC players then Xim vs controller. The mouse translation on Xim isn’t even comparable to on PC.
