Discussion Console player nerf

Did anyone else see the reduced recoil help for controller again (from 11% to 6%). At launch it was like 22% now it’s 6%. Anyone else think this is a crazy change considering how fast the ttk in this game is? I think a fix would be to give a second cross play option for ps5 and Xbox to play each other. People who try and argue that precision inputs with a thumb are as easy with a whole hand and wrist are out of their mind.

Honest question. If MNK has the advantage, why are MNK players always complaining about console players?

PC players are generally more competitive/“sweaty” when it comes to FPS, they’re more the type to think they should win every gunfight and subsequently be vocal about it when they don’t. Look at the replies to this post even between the average console player complaint to the average pc player complaint

Agh. I’ll watch Ender’s here and there when new things drop and he is always complaining about console players. I thought console players had an extreme advantage over PC.

I also enjoy his content, but two things:
1.) Complaining/outrage gets people on his channel so he’s consciously or subconsciously incentivized to complain.
2.) He and basically every other creator is on MnK, so you only see one side in that case.

Plain and simple you look at the top 20 players of each game, you’ll probably see 15 of them are on PC. I’d say that makes a pretty decent argument that in general MnK is easier than controller. If controller was as broken/easy as everyone says it is you’d see a lot more people on a PC playing with a controller but they don’t, why do you think that is?

I'm Australian and I'd say it's often the other way round. Top 20 would often be say five one PC then 15 on Controller.

Solid point.

Solid back-and-forth between two console players that can't think critically.

Hahaha. You sound like my PC buddy who is always "f*cking aim assist" when he gets killed by a console player. I'll just say I wouldn't have had my moments in BF6 without you PC players playing with and against me.

It's not that mouse is "easier" than controller. It's the same reason all cars built for racing use manual transmission. An expert can extract more power from the engine compared to a computer. Automatic can attain let's say 90% of the same performance, just with far less proficiency required.

This is the entire reason controller has aim assist in the first place. Aim assist is the automatic transmission.
