@NickBeam27 I recently looked into the controller vs mnk usage of the algs teams that finished the highest in each region in the qualifying for LAN. I did this because I keep hearing about how everyone is switching inputs. My findings- 74 players are on MNK. 45 are on controller. 1 I could not find an input for. So at the highest level, the level that abuses any advantage they can get, MNK is still used quite a bit more. This is pretty surprising when you consider that the current generation of gamer that would be pro age likely grew up with a controller. I'd expect at least a 50% split.
A controller does have an advantage up close. Someone did a study last year and it showed roller players won close range 1v1s more. Some of this is aim assist. Some is movement too. MNK players are moving more which makes it harder to control aim.

@hayhor You are correct, but the issue is that there is a difference in stats up close. Almost 50%. This is a real problem no matter how seemingly small it may be for some players who didn't experience it 1st hand. I recently made the full time switch from console to PC and I can 100% honestly say that up close controller wins hands down vs accuracy and tracking. At any other range tho it's worse, mouse is king. That's why I think the best solution would be to just split the lobbies and keep mnk and controller separate. I know that won't happen, so next best thing would be imo to nerf controller aa up close and buff it slightly at range. But in a nutshell - controller will dominate easily in the correct range, just facts, we should not dismiss that. I don't really care either way, as I have yet to see a controller player in my lobby, but I imagine it's a real problem for players who do. Also, I heard rumors about aa changes so....maybe soon, who knows?
