less chance of getting falsely banned
less chance of getting falsely chat muted
easy wins against switch players
baptiste is meta
Being a console player is goated.
But it comes with the biggest downside of having to use a crappy peripheral for shooters.
Given I think the vast majority of people being “falsely banned/silenced” probably did deserve it. And just what they think isn’t toxic actually is to most people.

The downside is XIM cheaters.

Crying I just like to pretend they don’t exist.
I dunno. I can buy many games that console players are still charged full retail for so shrug?
Except Nintendo…I share solidarity in dropping $60 a game there. 
(I would gladly drop $300+ for a Switch 2 and $60+ for a new Animal Crossing to have something worth dumping hundreds of hours into again)
((I know this topic isn’t super serious, I just want another AC game already 
))

Idk…my partner quit overwatch (console), cause he was sitting in queue forever…
Im on pc and have 35 minutes support queues its getting insane
That’s wild. My main account is GM5 and support queues last night were between 4mins and 10mins on Xbox East NA.
This is misinformation, you will never see a switch player on the ps5 or xbox unless you are below 500. People do get banned just the same as pc so idk where you are getting this info. There are less streamers on console so stream sniping doesn’t exist. Top 500 os full of XIM players and its miserable to face them which is why I stopped attempting to get top 500 on console. No reason to torture myself playing against legitimate cheaters. Pc is where the real fun is at, the only issue I have playing on pc is my fingers cramp up after playing for so long but the experience itself is way better than what console could ever be. Oh and yeah bap is meta and he’s miserable to face on console like you said lol.
where are you playing? lol

That’s because, as much as people will hate to hear it, the console pool is bigger than the PC pool. Possibly significantly. Especially after the launch of Overwatch as FTP. There’s a lot of console owners out there who take advantage of FTP bypassing the requirements for console subscription like PSN.

Interesting, guess I never considered which had a larger playerbase. I’d imagine all consoles combined should be larger than PC

He was fine on the release of OW2! He’s my second most played support with zen being my first, I was doing just fine and then blizzard buffs his damage, his lamp cooldown and made the burst stronger for no reason. Bap literally got buffed because of his usage rate but he has always been a huge sleeper pick. I love bap but I’m not gonna lie and say he’s fine. Bap needs some nerfs lol
I really struggle with Bap on console.
Need to crouch to charge his Exoboots. Need to take my thumb off the aiming joystick
Need to jump with my charged Exoboots. Press jump, removing my thumb from aiming joystick.

You also play against PC and Xim on console though.
I think we only play against PC if we group with PC players
And only Xim players if we play after the kids get out of elementary school or before their bedtime

For now. I suspect we’re moving toward unified pools. They’re making a lot of steps toward that: reducing cheaters out of PC pool, improving console control options, finding a way to ID Xim, etc.
Hopefully will be pooled by controls, but can also see them doing the CoD/Apex thing of cranking up aim assist and doing a single pool.
