OW didnt really get cross play right imo
in games like fortnite, call of duty and even paladins you can use a KB and M on consoles
how does a game like paladins have this but not OW?

Lame. They should get PCs or Xboxes then.

I feel like Blizzard is a little behind in terms of progression in general. They were really late to get on the crossplay bandwagon compared to other games that came out around the same time as it. Implemented it poorly on top of that, maybe simply because anything other than just merging platforms would have required more work. Didn’t allow for cross-progression of cosmetics even though, again, other games of its generation were already allowing that. It just feels like Blizzard is constantly lagging behind.

There bug make use mouse and keyboard with aim assist on paladins.
They should segregate based on input device, not platform. Got people on consoles with xim? Remove aim assist, slap them into PC lobbies. PC players with a controller? Give them aim assist and send them into console lobbies.

Good idea, but hard to implement. Xim is undetectable by Overwatch, and as for the PC controller players, they can gain a huge FPS advantage over the console players, which is pretty big.

What about the “huge FPS advantage” xbox has, with its 144fps, over ps4/ps5’s 60fps…
More frames = less input lag… and backwards compatible games have significantly more input lag (no ps5 upgrade)…

That’s only with the Xbox Series X afaik, and not many people on Overwatch bought it. It’s 120 FPS advantage does make a huge difference, but honestly, it’s not common. You’re far more likely to fight your regular ximmers.
Blizzard never updated the game to do it.
