@reconzero Even for arguments sake lets say everyone is just really good, there still should be matchmaking, while im for sure rusty i did play the first few years so im not a new player i just stopped playing for a couple years. Its possible that everyone just got way better but if thats the case I wouldn't see why all the mnk players would just drop the game. I do think there is some merit in saying AA is an issue, especially when you start modding your controller to add scripts which as far as im aware respawn hasn't said is against the rules, so its very possible people are abusing these systems to make them better than they actually are. While I understand where you're coming from if there wasn't a drastic advantage on controller I really doubt all of the mnk professional players would of made the switch. At the end of the day though it doesn't really matter, we can talk semantics over and over but a large chunk of the playerbase is really unhappy with the game state, and like you said most will just drop the game and move on, which is sad because I do like the game but I don't like feeling gimped when I play. There needs to be some middle ground where both MnK and Controller player's both feel good about their input systems, and again, I think a input based Queue is the solution. As far as cheater's there will always be cheaters in fps games but they are doing a pretty bad job trying to contain them. If were talking about Player experience overall its a huge letdown. I think the game still has amazing potential but the people running it are clueless unfortauntely. But it is what it is, hopefully it gets better soon.

Could not agree more, although this does nothing to solve the pc input problem. It only gets mnk out of my xbox lobbies.

You may have hit the nail on the head here. I don't believe for a second that aa does what mnk players say, but I think the second you layer actual cheats on top of it (yes, scripts are cheats) then suddenly those players become not just slightly more dangerous but far more dangerous.
"As far as cheater's there will always be cheaters in fps games"
I remember back in the day when (at least on console) people would find ways to cheat, but the dev would catch them and ban them. Now there's an entire industry, and a lucrative one at that, built up around cheating and not getting caught. And publisher anti-cheat is something akin to the little dutch boy sticking his finger in the *. At any rate, I'm coming to believe that rampant and unaddressable cheating is just the new normal. Deliberately sandbag your performance to stay in lower-skilled lobbies and avoid the cheaters, or take them on and lose. A lot. That's sad, but there you have it.
