Thats a great idea. A good point of view and can be a start point for all
Actually most Xim users turn off aim assist(auto aim and aim assist are different things).
Console aim assist makes the mouse feel like a clunky pos. Part of aim assist is just slowing down the reticule as you pass over targets, which makes the mouse feel jittery.
I’ve seen many people ask for tips on how to improve the mouse on console and the answer is always “turn off aim assist”.

For me is a very good way if they restrict the pool for m&k on console

So it’s better queue these M&K people with PC players instead place in same queue of console players

Your delusional. As a top 500 console support, there is at least 3 in every single one of my games. It’s extremely frustrating to ply against ximming losers every match

If Ubisoft can combat xim users in Rainbow Six Siege, surely Blizzard can do the same with OW. From their recent blog post
Mouse and Keyboard on Consoles
On Consoles, we’ve noticed that some players are using external “input spoofing devices” which let them play with a Keyboard & Mouse instead of a controller. This gives them an unfair advantage against controller players. It’s one of the biggest complaints on all competitive shooters, but especially on Rainbow Six Siege. We heard you and we totally agree that it’s unfair when your opponents have such an advantage. That’s why we have been developing a system to address this form of cheating. We called it MouseTrap.
What is MouseTrap?
MouseTrap is a console-centric research and development initiative led by our Team at Rainbow Six Siege working specifically on this system. It is a detection tool that can sniff out input spoofers. It has actually been running in shadow mode, for several seasons, with the aim of building a better picture of which players are spoofing. Now that we have that data, we can use it to improve fair play on Rainbow Six Siege.
Penalties
We really want to encourage those players to return to fair play if possible. In doing so, we will be giving a new “Mouse & Keyboard Penalty” to players that we detect using a Spoofing device. This new penalty will add additional latency to the inputs of MnK users. In short, it will be harder to aim and shoot with your operator when the penalty is active. The lag will start low and build up over several games if the use of MnK is still detected.
If the player chooses to remove their spoofing device, the lag will be gradually reduced; returning to normal after a few games.
Additionally, not all players will be penalized. The higher your skill level, the more chance you have of being affected by this new penalty.

I play r6 siege and have tried playing console ranked matches, which are exclusive to console. However, some players use mouse and keyboard (M&K) in ranked matches, which is unfair.
In r6siege does not have aim assist on console like in other games, so it can be difficult to aim precisely with a controller. The fact that some players can use M&K and aim more accurately gives them an unfair advantage, especially when trying to aim at specific points, like headshots with M&K on consoles can be more precise…
Fortunately, they added a system that adds high latency to the controller response, but how long will this last? Will they find a way to bypass it?
I’ll take a few Xim users over everyone having a M&K.
OW on PC is different. Mediocre PC Widows are like great console Widows. Everybody is better on hitscan.
Which changes the pace of the game. On console it’s like all hitscan is nerfed compared to PC. On PC you have to be much more careful crossing open areas, or areas with long sight lines. Crossing open areas is not fun. You’re under hitscan pressure non stop, every second. Which is not nearly as fun if you like moving around feeling relatively safe.
On PC you’ll be burning movement and defensive abilities more often because even bad hitscan can kill you faster than on console.
If you like the general pace of games on console, you do not want full M&K support. Be careful what you wish for.
A post asking for M&K support on console is posted every 2 days here. Yes, we want people to play with the input method they prefer. M&K should play in PC pools and that would satisfy everyone.

The best solution is add this feature and let console player with m&k play only with PC and console player that are using m&k. But we need an official release.
So Devs PLS PLS add this

How tone deaf and out of touch with current gamers can Ubisoft be that they don’t simply allow people to use a mouse and keyboard directly while acknowledging that people clearly want to?
Yea I think it should be allowed, spoofing should be punished very harshly, and put M&K users in PC lobbies. Everyone wins.
This is a win win. Devssss
Sea of thieves is on pc and consoles so what they did is console players can decide if they wanna Play with pc players.
What that makes did not solve all problems coze those scrubs with adapter turn off pc and Play m&k with consoles.
Yes im with the idea of adding m&k to console but i’m also with separate console players that use controller and m&k.
M&k can Play with pc idc
I speak for all my console players who have any human decency when I say we do not want this S*** if your playing on a console your are obligated to use a controller like everyone else people use console cause they can’t afford the best of the best highly function omg my ping is soooo good pcs. We shouldn’t be subjected to someone basically moving without restrictions when compared to the rest of the lobby.
If it throws them into pc lobbies maybe, but other then that m and k stays where the f it should be and controller stays where it should be.

Then we also force all console players to play at 30FPS since that is traditionally the frame rate of the console and we are obliged to blindly follow tradition I guess “for old times sake”?
Sure, if these players are put in the pc pool. No one on console wants to deal with them

Thats a different subject entirely you can work around that, plus how in the world would adding m and k make this any better? At least being on even playing field you can sorta compensate for such bad fps… Tho most console players don’t usually care about fps.
