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.
