Mouse and Key Support for the next gen consoles!

I truly believe there should be an option for mouse and key usage in apex legends. There’s cross play implemented which is amazing, but there’s a decent amount of PC players that can use a controller in game, so I feel like it would be fair if console had the option to as well.

There’s already this implementation in warzone and fortnite, the two most popular BR’s, so I feel apex can follow in this same path. The way these games solve that is that you would be paired with pc players if you use MnK, which would keep the core console matchmaking the same and would solve the problem of people arguing about MnK in console lobbies. Next gen consoles can run games at 120 FPS so I feel that as we get further into the next gen of consoles, it would make more sense for this implementation.

This is all just an opinion though.

    @Jausont I suppose so long as you are put into the PC lobbies. I don't want a bunch of mouse and keyboard players in the console lobbies.

    I've played quite a bit in the PC lobbies and I do well in CQC. But Mid-long range I stand almost no chance. They would have to disable the aim assist that console players get amongst other things.

    @DarthValtrex Yea I definitely agree about the advantages and disadvantages in ranges. I’ve played ranked in pc lobbies and they’re quite harder than the ranked lobbies on console but it’s still possible to prosper in them. I use controller (console) but some of my friends play on pc, and as a result I play in pc lobbies quite a bit.  

    Since the majority of console players use a controller, I don’t think the matchmaking would be affected too much if it put the people using MnK in PC lobbies. If the lobbies are brutal, then oh well, at least we get the option to play them lol

    And yes I agree aim assist has to be disabled if MnK on console is used. Aim assist on MnK would be the most cracked thing in existence lmao
