I’ll tell you now that most top 500s on console suck. They are all boosted Grandmasters who do nothing but use MnK, Stack (they stack in 3-6, that how bad they truly are), Avoid people they can easily defeat or think they can get free SR off of, trash talk others, lie about not using MnK, get mad when you call them boosted or mention that they are really 3700s if they were stacking and abusing the SR System.
Yep, that’s Top 500s in a nut shell on console. I played with controller and Reached Grandmaster Strictly solo without once using a MnK or stacking to abuse the system or get more easy free SR with the avoid system.
All Blizzard have to do is do what Fortnite did. MnK PS4 or Xbox players don’t queue into PS4 or Xbox servers any more. Do that and you would fix the issue with Rank and people abusing the system on console. Hell, if you using a MnK on console you should be seeing the PC Leaderboards and playing against them.
Edit: Oh I forgot to say that they let other people play on their accounts to boost them to Top 500s. Not all of them but I know a few who clearly let others play on their accounts. I had them as team mates or fought them as enemies. These people will never be banned on console either even if the person admit they are boosting or getting paid to boost the account.

At this point they don’t have an excuse, Blizzard can make the change with a (metaphorical) flip of a switch. Until then, I’m saving up for a M/KB.
Don’t tell me to swap off Widow,

100% all top 500’s suck thats why everyone on console is top 500 
To break 4300s - 4700s they use a Mouse. Controller players can reach 4000-4400s if lucky enough but get avoided by people using a mouse and usually fall around 4000-4200s. Everyone else in that 4300-4600s range is without a doubt usually a MnK.
I can only name 4 people in top 500 that I know are strictly controller. That is sad but it the honest truth.

Not trying to sound rude here, but does top 500 on consoles even mean anything in the first place?
Tournaments and OWL are all done on PC, by players who tends to be top 500 on PC.
My cousin is 14 and regularly in top500 with controller 
sometimes we just gotta accept were bad. Im a silver border in plat and thats just reality at this point. I still enjoy the game tho.
These MnK Widows I keep seeing should honestly all be banned and MnK needs to go. But it’s never gonna happen because Blizzard doesn’t care about us. So annoying…

Top 500 on console has little meaning to me anymore. I played to reach Top 500 but after facing so many Top 500s and learning what it really means to be top 500 on console. It means nothing anymore. Doesn’t matter how good you are with a controller. There’s a limit that cannot be broken without a mouse and keyboard. Hence the toxicity of Console Top 500s.

Who cares about Overwatch on Consoles, i mean if the Game on PC is considered Dead then on consoles it must be rotten then.
I play on console and pc and judging by the queue times it seems there are just as many players, if not more on console (ps4 specifically). If you count both Xbox and PS4 then there’s definitely more players on console. They’re typically more casual though.
Honestly it’s more the console makers need to do something about it more than Blizzard. But since their aiming to be more multimedia machines I doubt anything will happen.
no they can’t. It has nothing to do with Blizzard and unless microsoft or Sony really did something about it, there is nothing that is going to change.
To the game, the player is using a controller. To blizzards systems, the player is using a controller. The XIM converts MnK input into controller input so the console and the game sees it as a controller input.
Frankly why should blizzard care? This is and always has been a PC first game and they put it on console to cash in
It would be hard to detect a MnK player, since it’s entirely up to the console.
Not disagreeing that MnK on consoles is an issue, but you sound SUPER salty.
