I’m tired of players telling slowdown is a downside and they don’t use it anyways. There are videos out there showing you how to use slowdown to your advantage to identify players you can’t really see and even shoot them by aiming at the middle of the zone. It absolutely happened to me, it makes soft cover useless, facilitates shooting at the head when only the head is visible, and generally allows you to do things that are very hard on m+kb.
I don’t care about the overall balance, I care about the asymmetry and those situations that will leave a bad taste in my mouth because I know I can’t match the assist. To controller players that insist controllers are a bad input for FPS, stop pretending and just don’t use a controller. Else, if you’re gonna insist on keeping your controller and need your assists to get there, then we’re not playing the same game and let’s keep them separate.
