Petition: pc cross play opt out

Blizzard you claim to be all about equality…

Yet you let console players have this option but not pc players…

Hypocrisy much?

I honestly don’t get why people are up in arms about this.
I’m a PC player and I couldn’t care less about it. I can see why console players don’t want PC KB/M players in their games, but I don’t see why it shouldn’t be the other way around. Controllers, even with aim assist, provide no benefit over KB/M controls.

What is it about console players that makes them such a scourge in our games anyway?

You have never played a game where its optional and experienced playing with it enabled and disabled.

With it enabled, you get shorter queue times and drastically worse match quality…

Disabled gives you better match quality for longer queue times…

Oh and then they also get an extremely soft aimbot on top of it…
Its pretty unfair if they are playing no spread hitscans or using beam weapons…

Its principal more than anything, everyone should be forced to participate in cross play or no one should be forced… everyone should have aim assist or no one should

You could go as far as calling it discrimination

But I’ve played console shooters, including a bit of OW and controller aim assist is nowhere near what an actual aimbot is capable of though. It’s the only thing making it possible to even be sort of good using a controller. A decent KB/M player should still destroy most controller users, aim assist or not.

Also, crossplay is not a thing in comp, which is really the only mode where I would care about it.

Wahhhhhhh wahhhhhhhh. We get it.

Its enough to be noticeable, and thats without even without considering the use of xims…

Yes they violate the tos, but theres also no way to detect their use, making it impossible to enforce

You think so?

I honestly never know if they’re in my games or not when I play unranked. I’d never even know about it if I didn’t see the little crossplay icons when looking at my recent players.

I still think it’s a non issue.

Console players stand out like a sore thumb, they are the ones who are so bad it looks like they are throwing. Their precious aim assist did not help, and only encouraged them to try.

Maybe it is fine in bronze where everyone is bad, but not everywhere else.

Maybe. But they’re not in comp either way so they’re not a problem.

And they’re only ever in a PC lobby if they’re grouped with a PC player.
Joe Solo queuing alone on his Xbox will never end up in a PC game. Ever.

Yet they dont get it to use it in ranked. So giving it to them at all is counter productive. As they will become dependent on it and eventually demand it be added to console comp

Unless things have changed, comp has crossplay completely disabled on PC

Yes, but its disabled in comp for all console players… so effectively its existence is setting up to fail as it hinders the development of mechanical skill…

Its just a matter of time before we start seeing people demanding for it to be enabled in console comp

I wish quick play and crossplay were disabled on PC. Comp isnt fun, and crossplay is making quick play not fun either.

wait what?
I didn’t realize that, that’s kind of dumb lol

Not disabled, if people on different platforms want to play together, more power to them…

But it should not be forced on anyone

Yep thats why i say its setting new console players up to fail… eventually resulting in them demanding it be enabled in comp

But it is forced on us, if they wont let us opt out, just get rid of it.

I think the only way were going to bring about change is to cry “discrimination” i really dont want to go down this road, but i feel its the only road that could potentially yeild results…

Sometimes the end justifies the means i guess
