Dude, you are out of touch. There’s a known issue where the crossplay netcode causes desync in favor of console, it’s very annoying. These complaining novels are getting ridiculous

Desync affects everyone, so acting like PC is the main victim here makes no sense. The mechanical gap is just another huge issue. On PC, you can jump, slide, and 180 flick instantly without losing aim. On controller, unless you have paddles or waste time key binding the whole controller, you literally have to take your thumb off the stick to jump, and pressing R3 to crouch under pressure completely ruins your accuracy. And yeah, the game allows MnK on console, but most console guys play on a TV in their living room where a mouse and keyboard is just impractical. Devs shouldn't implicitly force players to change how they play just to fix a hardware gap they created.
Also, before anyone posts screenshots of console players on top of the scoreboard, let's be real: a console icon doesn't mean they're using a controller. Console supports native MnK, or they could be using Cronus or Xim-like cheats. Outside of those exceptions, lobbies are mostly dominated by PC and MnK users.
This isn't a skill issue, it's just hardware. A mouse uses 1:1 physical tracking on a big mousepad, so your whole arm and wrist can make instant micro-adjustments. An analog stick works on velocity, locked inside a tiny plastic circle with deadzones. Aim assist in BF is only there to smooth out those physical limitations; it's not an aimbot and it definitely doesn't match mouse precision. A great controller player will always be at a disadvantage against an equally skilled MnK player.
The TTK feels totally different too. Against PC, you get instantly melted with no time to react. You rarely see a 'boots on the ground' PC player. The second they take one bullet, they start doing Matrix gymnastics, dancing around to break your aim. Because analog sticks are naturally less precise, trying to track that movement means you'll miss your shots and get deleted like a bot. Other MnK players can counter that with their precision, but controllers will rarely win. Fairness means: controller vs controller, MnK vs MnK. Also, most console players are casual players and they deserve to play with other casual console users instead of putting them into 70% PC tryhard lobbies. People will just drop the game because of it.
