How Do You PC Guys Even Play?

Question

As a four-year XBox Apex player, I recently had a chance to play Apex on a PC for a week (with a controller).

Er .... just .... no.

I mean how do newb PC players even survive? A week of being shot across the map with an LStar, killcams showing no recoil even on the Devotion, players strafing like their feet were on fire and not missing a shot. It was just ... no fun.

Either you are all cheats or just really good. If the latter then I take my hat off to you.

The last straw was when I had a Pathfinder basically performing a gymnastic routine around me at high speed. The killcam showed him downing me with three Peacekeeper headshots.

In a week the most kills I got in a game was 4. First game back on my trusty old XBox, 12. Never again lol.

It certainly opened my eyes.

@FuseDLuffy I have been playing on Nintendo Switch since season 16 and I started pc 3 weeks ago (while still doing matches on switch). I agree with you. There is no way most of the people in those lobbies aren't cheating in some way.

I'm trying to learn MnK right now because the shooting is easier, but I mostly play on controller. I hear MnK makes the pc version more tolerable, but the pc version is very hard, much harder than the console version. The only advantage I see is with the graphics.

PC MnK player of games for over 30+ years.

Been playing Apex on PC MnK since release works fine.

Get me on controller either on PC or on a console and I will probably get wrecked due to not having used a controller in over 20 years.

You do have to understand that if you are a good player on roller and you switch to MnK you are going to be in the same type of lobbies but due to lack of familiarity with MnK you will pay for it until you get used to MnK.&nbsp;&nbsp;

@FuseDLuffy I play sometimes with a PC friend. You definately see some crazy stuff but it isn't impossible. I'd never switch to PC tho! lol

@FuseDLuffy Yep, that's life of an average skill MnK Apex player is pretty much that. Solo queue and add in useless, toxic, &amp;/or weird randoms and it is a recipe for mental illness!

@Asmodeus566 I played with controller. I can't handle M&K and applaud those that excel at it. My aiming was pretty bad, especially in CQC where I could just not keep my aim on a moving target.

I played Paladins as well (which I also play on XBox) and while I did notice a downgrade in my abilities it wasn't even close to being half as marked as Apex.
