Request for Input-based Matchmaking Toggle Option in Higher Ranks

I had to write this post for the Respawn, since this stuff is being told everywhere over and over. I just would like to request the addition of a toggle option for input-based matchmaking.

 

As someone who prefers to play with a MnK, dedicated hundreds of hours into Kovaak'S and thousands in Apex itself, I find it frustrating to be matched up against players who are using a controller at this point. While I understand that some players may prefer this input method, it just creates an unfair advantage in high rank lobbies, even starting in plat diamond after splits.

Having the ability to toggle input-based matchmaking on or off would allow players to choose their preferred input method and be matched up against others who use the same method. This would create a more level playing field and make for a more enjoyable gaming experience for everyone. And for competitive people like me, I would not have to uninstall this beautiful game that I have been playing since launch.

 

Pro takes like these are out of the roof currently, and so many pros switched to controller just because it has CERTAIN advantages, I am talking about people with 6-10k+ hours in this game with MnK switching. That is ABSURD. Just imagine vice versa, for example if another game like FIFA (which is obviously controller game) was designed to be more advantagous for keyboard, and you see people with 20k hours on controller switching to keyboard, that should tell you that EA itself just designed very POORLY at some point and want them to go fix it.

While developer team sits in silence at this point, all people like me asking for to be able to choose which input that I am going to face, that's all. Controller with absurd aim assist can stay like this but after finishing battle pass like 2 weeks ago I do not even want to play against it anymore. And I do not want to go back to CS2 or something like that but Respawn forces competitive people to do so in a close run, especially this summer CS2 being available, I'd expect tens or hundreds of thousands people leaving the game for CS2, a standard game with normal competitive feeling, if not changed or this input based matchmaking is added. People like me would love to wait longer in queues for this feature, im pretty sure about that.

 

I understand that implementing this feature may take time and resources, but I believe it would be a worthwhile addition that would benefit many competitive players. Thank you for your consideration.

    Why only for the higher ranks and not all?

    That sounds unfair.

    I do agree with your concept however I would say it should be that the lobbies are fully separated into PC MnK only and Console only.

    Yeah you are correct, i thought all ranks should have an option to do so but thinking about matchmaking, to find a match in 4 split groups with less correct input, below plat can be considered casual players in keyboard and mnk inputs, meanwhile low sens zero deadzone controllers would eventually hit plat+ without sticking in those lower rank groups and worsen the match quality for casual players.

    Therefore, if it can be done, of course all ranks should have the option to choose input based matchmaking on or off. I just wanted to sugar coat with my post, and thank you for replying to this topic.

    Why not just remove aim assist and make the ppl who do not know how to play a video game to go back to the bottom ranks?

    They can not risk it since most of the console players would simply leave, i can understand but me sitting here with thousands of hours MnK FPS experience getting punished for not using neo .cfg's with aimbot is not fun to be honest, either they should add this input based matchmaking feature or sooo many people will leave this game with the release of CS2. I mean there's still a freak show going on with controller .cfg users telling people that they reached respawn and literally movement hacking .cfg's are safe to use, our frustration just builds up and up with these kind of news.

    It is literally that easy, just match controller players against controllers, and MnK with MnK if they want it that way, extra 60-120sec queue would still be perfect and i'd never whine about it. They can neo strafe tap strafe with .cfg, laser beam each other with aimbots etc. I remember the first time that Apex controller video on kings canyon without aim assist, (on Asian server, funny 2 minute video with EVA fights) dizzy etc. were laughing so much about it how controller players compete against MnK, those stuff did age really well.
