Re: Is Mouse & Keys On Console Cheating?

This just seems like such an insignificant problem to me, I've played games on both PC and console, and I've always felt that I played better on console. The advantages that are given to PC's are usually advantages that the user creates for themselves by either getting larger mousepads, better hardware in their computers, more defined resolution monitors, etc. Ultimately, If you play the game smart, then Johnathon who works at Petsmart isn't going to destroy you because he has a mouse hooked up to his console. After a certain level of play, the aim and/or aim assist doesn't matter even half as much as positioning and teamwork do. As far as I'm Concerned, let them play with a mouse and keyboard, whatever makes everybody comfortable. It isn't stopping me from taking the high ground and stomping them into the ground.

The atmosphere that I find these M&K players is the problem. I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt that some of the top 10 players on Xbox have gained their status solely due to using mouse and keyboard. These guys don’t miss shots at all. I think it’s BS that some of the people here are stating it’s subjective when there’s clearly a huge advantage that M&K players are gaining over console players. These cheaters are gaining aim assist on mouse and key board when their pc counterparts are not. PC actually supports both input options and because of this it’s balanced. Controllers get aim assist; M&K players don’t. The only reason players on console would choose to play mouse and keyboard on console platforms is because they know it gives them an unfair advantage and their stats reflect that. Personally I think all these accounts that use M&K on unapproved platforms should get perma banned, because using non-supported plugins to play better is cheating. PERIOD.

I've played with controller on PC. Most people are just bad and looking for something to blame. The probability you actually encountered a KB&M user in console is slim to none.
Aim is important but position and game sense are much more important in Apex. Team shooting is also very important in ranked and usually the sweaty SBMM games.
