This game needs input based matchmaking

First off, I am a controller player on pc and have been playing this game again for about three weeks after quitting during season 1. Due to getting mostly dominated by pc players movement and precise aim I decided to dust off my xbox one and see how console lobbies feel. The difference is night and day. On my xbox one I am constantly getting 5+ kill games and even had a 3.5k dmg 16 kill game yesterday. On pc I don't think I had one 10+ kill game. There wasn't a single time where I felt at a disadvantage and was genuinely enjoying the game.

So why not make this a thing? Xbox One X and PS5 are eventually going to be able to run this game at 120 fps so controller players on pc won't even have a fps advantage. It wouldn't negatively impact anyone and would only benefit the people that prefer to play against others using their same input method. Mkb players don't have to deal with aim assist if they don't want to and controller players don't have to deal with mkb movement and gun control if they don't want to. Everyone is happy!

    @rperry2424 I feel like there should be 3 different queues

    #1 mouse and keyboard only
    #2 both console and PC controller players where everyone has 40% aim assist
    #3 mixed lobbies for pre made squads and players who queue with both pc/console players on the same team which would also fix the issue with pre made squads having major advantages over players who solo queue

    @rperry2424 Everyone happy? Yeah, especially the console players who now get aimbotters, wallhackers, speedhackers, floating charge rifle hackers, etc., in their games. If you select to play PC, regardless of the hacker situation, fine, but leave it out of our games, ty. There are enough issues with no-recoil, but with PC hacks... game would be dead. 🤡

    @CCbathwater  Is the cheating situation that bad on this game? I may just be ignorant, but I've watched hours of streamers play this game and have put in a good amount of time myself and have only seen a handful of cheaters. That's just from watching pros play ranked. I myself have never come across a cheater so far. I think the cheating problem in Apex is way better than warzone where I would run into a cheater every five games. Again, I could just be lucky and haven't played the game long enough.

    @rperry2424 I have seen it hundreds, maybe even thousands of times on Twitch, insane cheats too. Half of the times were probably just Tufi, but still... And the same level of really sus cheating I have experienced twice since s2 on PS4. And then it's only a feeling as I died so late both times that I couldn't spectate, so in essence it could be zero.
