Why do people claim things like “console grandmaster is pc plat?” What are they basing their opinon on? Game speed?
Realistically speaking, console players might struggle to adjust to pc but thats also the same vice versa.

All I am saying is that plenty of console players move over to PC and perform well. How many PC gamers rank past platinum on console? That’s right. You know what that means.

This is what im thinking to. Pc players may not be able to perform on console. Especially when adjusting to its difficulties. A pc genji might need alot of time to adjust to controller. Especially since controller has more settings.

Console players as a whole are more casual players than PC players are. So logically you’d assume the top x% of a more casual group is going to be worse at the game, statistically speaking, than the top x% of a more competitively minded group. And no, that doesn’t say anything about the inherent qualities of either player base. One just plays more and more seriously than the other.
Plat is probably too far, though.

“are you above diamond on PC?”

No one would ever switch from PC to console.
Unless you have a handicap due to an accident. Then possibly

Tribalism in wanting to think that their chosen access platform is “superior” just because it’s a “faster” environment in general and not acknowledging that there’s not some sort of different PC player human.
Let them have it… it’s probably one of the few things that make them feel good about themselves.

Just seems to be the normal “PC master race” shtick.
Console players have moved over to PC and climbed to/past their console ranks once they adjust. People just like to dunk on console because.
It’s been this way since forever.
The only like legitimate critique is console players not being able to spin around as fast, but that’s Blizzards limitation. If I could crank my console settings to be as responsive(?) for 180s as I can crank my PC I would. God couldn’t stop me, but Blizz does.
Bold assumption considering that the population of both console and Pc, majority, are causal players. I dont get the point ur trying to get at.
Many fail to understand that OW skillset depends a lot on positioning and game sense rather than mechanical aim. Mechanical aim is just a small part of the whole. A good console player moving to PC will be a good PC player, and will overcome the mechanical aim detail rather quickly as they adjust to mouse and keyboard.

None? Because no one would ever switch from PC to console, lol.
please tell me you don’t play OW on a TV, lol.
Console players tend to be more casual players, definitely. Also, it’s just harder to play with a controller than it is with a mouse and keyboard. That’s why consoles have aim assist. Also why people say it’s “cheating” when you use a mouse and keyboard on console.

I’ve been playing OW on a TV since 2017 lol
That one is more so than the other.
I dont see how youd be able to prove this. And also once again, the majority of players within both devices are casual players. But lets assume dat you are right, how does that relate to the original question?
Alot of people call it cheating because they lack info on how aim assist in overwatch works.
You have no way of proving this. Realistically speaking, the platform with the most players will also have the most causal players. But i dont understand how this relates to the topic presented.
…because it’s easier to beat casual players than it is to beat hardcore players? Duh? If 90% of your player base is casual it’s going to be a lot easier to rank up than if 90% of your player base is try hard sweaty players that play for hours every day.
But I think the main reason people say console is easier is because of mouse and keyboard. A player that can 180 headshot you while in midair is going to be a lot more difficult to beat than someone using a controller.

I don’t, but I also don’t need to. It’s pretty much common knowledge.
I’m saying relatively. Should be obvious tbh.

I dont think you fully comprehend what ur responding to. Im saying that u cant prove that console players are more casual. Kinda need to know what ur responding to before responding. Also, notice that youre talking about rank while also claiming that these players are causal. Now youd have to define Casual, then tell me how youre measuring a casual player vs a competitive player.
This doesnt make sense. Firstly, something being easier and harder is based on preference. Secondly, Console players arent incapable of performing hard shots. It can be harder. But something being harder would, sometimes, imply that it would take more skill to perform the same task.
Oh, I thought you meant the original question, since, you know, that’s what you said.
It’s just well known amongst, pretty much everyone, that console players are generally less serious about video games than PC players. Whether they are playing competitive or QP is not relevant.
Actually, THAT doesn’t make any sense, lol. Something IS either easier or harder. Yes, you can be worse using a mouse and keyboard than using a controller, but that’s not “preference.” It is objectively easier to play FPS using mouse and keyboard, given the same amount of time using both things, unless maybe you have a disability or something. I mean, they literally give you aim assist because it is so hard to use a controller. How does that not tell you that controller is harder to use? That should be VERY clear to you.
In other words, u cant prove common sense nor common knowledge? I dont think you understand what " common knowledge" is. Common knowledge can easily be proven while ur saying that youre incapable of proving something that can be easily proven. Thats a contradiction.
How does this relate to my topic? U forgot to answer that question. Also, lets not forget ur assumption is based on… nothing.
