I dont understand why this isnt in the game by now. I guess I can understand there are potential issues in skill gap that could be caused by this but personally all my friends play on PC and I’m on console so either way I’m playing against keyboard and mouse players. At least I could play against them for a chance at comp points if it was a feature in the game. Regardless, this should at least be an optional feature for console players like a setting or somthing as a “enter at your own risk” going into those cross play PC/Console comp lobbies. I dont think its too much to ask, I just wanna run comp with my competent and capabke teammates regardless of what platform they play on. Please add this. Thank you.
skill gap? untested speculation since yet to be implemented competitively. ultimately the IQ of player will be the largest contributing factor towards effectiveness since mnk and controller are no more than input devices. today’s console is on par with an ABOVE average pc, imo. not that it would have to be since ow is a simple multiplayer game with non-intensive frame rate requirements. today’s console is a pc. that’s controlled with a controller. full cross play is inevitable.

I’m in for that but they should also allow Mouse and Keyboard support like Warzone does.
Ironicallyi n Warzone even PC players uses pad because the aim assist is bot.
But that’s how I used to play Warzone because my PC couldn’t run it at 120fps like my PS5 did. So yeah, I’m ok with it, but they need to add that, else you will just be stomped.

We already have crossplay, just not for ranked.

I agree with you there but I just know people say console lobbies are worse so idk why they imply there’s a skill gap. That’s why i think its stupid there’s no comp for cross play between those two inputs.
Pc widows, and pc souljorns would farm console players so hard. Never noticed the difference till I started to play on pc. I was a console play for 5 years. Pc players have so much more control, and faster reaction times because of mouse and keyboard.
You can say as a console player you don’t mind the risk, but most pc players wouldn’t want a console player on their team.

ok. but skill gap? well maybe bc PC console lobby didn’t actually have acceleration stabilization ENABLED. which some call aim assist. disabled due to PC players misconception of aim assist advantage, which in actuality is only, “acceleration stabilization”, so that reticle isn’t zigzagging all over screen since game doesn’t detect mouse input. PC players concerns regarding aim assist is misplace and invalid. bc if PC players could chose between mouse and no aim assist – VERSUS – thumb stick with aim assist. well we all know whose choosing what for the most part. so concern of console advantage is disingenuous or an over reaction. PC players, its not aim assist. its lack of wrist assist. no acceleration assist would naturally be needed for PC mouse wrist control since such a thing may interfere with intuitive inertia and movement of mouse motion flow.

If you add crossplay between PC and Console, the console players will get absolutely s*** on, the disparity between both platforms is so great that those who play console will eventually refuse to go up against PC players.

I played on both, you aren’t missing much despite what people say about skill gap
Buy a PC, I was Master in apex and I could not take the cringe console players using XIM anymore.
Stop asking for this crap to be in comp, having crossplay in comp beats the entre purpose of a COMPETATIVE game

Please don’t put console players in my comp team…anyone playing a high reflex shooter on a gamepad enjoys hurting themselves.
The coordination and reflex speed with a mouse and keyboard is just too high console players don’t stand a chance. No one wants to watch you take 3 seconds to do a 180.

untested speculation. since current cross play is WITHOUT any ability for console players to actually aim since reticle stabilization is inactive. disabled due to disingenuous fears of pc players who are oblivious that its only so that reticle isn’t zigzagging endlessly since game doesn’t detect mouse input. so your remark is invalid. there are console players whose productivity exceeds that of pc players who are the equivalent skill rating. today’s console is on par with an above average pc imo. the distinction between console and pc is simply input device at this point. therefore game IQ will be the determining factor in productivity and effectiveness. for balance, simply queue good console players with good pc players and bad console players with bad pc players. simple math. there are god tier console players and there are good pc players. there are bad pc players and bad console players. delaying cross play only confirms how ineffective pc players feel they may be. out of fear of being humbled by console players. so if you truly feel that way, then you have nothing to worry about when full competitive cross play occurs.

PC stomps raw controller input.
If controller is so superiour why need aimassist? Or why are so many console players using Xims? You are welcome to put off all your assist you get because otherwise its unplayable and 1v1 me in the future.

As a PC player. No. Please No. Never make this happen!
Console players don’t deserve to be dunked on by PC players with KB/M. Especially if auto aim is disabled cross platform.

I think, most console players also wouldn’t want PC players in their lobby. There’s a reason why many people deem players who use Xim and such to be able to play console Overwatch with m+kb to be cheaters or having unfair advantages.

Everything you wrote is 100%, but that last sentence should be bolded, underlined and in 36pt font. How do people who play on console not understand this… (FYI, I’m a former WoW arena comp player on PC and Pred in Apex on console, so I still shake my head on how long it takes me to turn and face a dashing Genji or Tracer every time they zip by me on my console…)

In Apex Console players atleast can turn off Crossplay, they took this from PC and I just cant stand the game anymore as the aim assist is already to much and then you get the XIM users at high ranks who get best of both worlds.
You can litterally tell by the way how u died it was a console player using Xim before you even get to see their player banner and their input type.
Crossplay is so cringe in shooters.

It is bad enough there are console players in pc games in quickplay, comp was the only refugee we have, i still believe pc console should always be seperate, if you want to play with friends on a different platform then go out and buy that platform
