Splitting top 500 based on input is good but please add input based matchmaking too.

What do you mean by this? As in controller vs controller and pc vs pc?

I’m going to assume.

“Allow Console players to use Mouse and Keyboard, but it forces them into PC matchmaking”.

My personal preference would be controller vs controller regardless of platform and then a mixed queue of M&K and controller. Mainly for comp this doesnt need to apply for quick play or arcade or anything.

Console already only goes against other console players unless they’re grouped with a PC player. I don’t really see the issue here.

Unless you’re a PC player using a controller.

PC playing a controller should be in the “console” games is my point.

Well yeah, but what if you could do that, without grouping.

No it absolutely should not. PC players can …

… switch controls on the fly,
… create fake controllers in windows.

I don’t really understand what point you’re trying to make.

Blockquote No it absolutely should not. PC players can …… switch controls on the fly,… create fake controllers in windows.

People on console already create fake controllers, and typically games that are properly made make it so you cannot switch input on the fly if you queue up for that specific input. For instance, Halo infinite does not allow input switching on the fly in controller only mode your m&k do not work mid game

What if a console user could plug in a keyboard&mouse, and it would put them into PC Matchmaking. Without the requirement of grouping.

And you’d be turning that dial up from a 3 to 11 if they did what you’re proposing.

I’d fully support it to be honest. Blizzard on the other hand … :man_facepalming:

When a smaller studio Hi-Rez/Evil Mojo can implement input based matchmaking into Paladins, Blizzard can do it too. There is no reason not to add it. Not having it just creates issues and frustration for people.

I have had to pull out my old Xbox one just so I can play with my friend who is on console (who prefers Keyboard and Mouse).

If we party up when I’m on PC we have to play in PC pool. This is unfair to my friend on console. This wouldn’t be an issue if K+M was supported on console or playing controller on PC put you into console pool.

An input based matchmaking needs to be added.
