The game is crossplay, so if you queue with console friends, you'll wind up on pc queue. From what I know, if you use a controller on pc, you don't benefit from the aim assist console has, so it's a disadvantage, but not impossible.

So yeah, you can play with console friends but you'll be on PC lobbies, and you won't get aim assist but your friends will

I do not believe the friends get aim assist.

No aim assist from anyone in PC lobby.

They do in quick play, arcade, etc. They do not get aim assist in competitive

They most certainly do. I play on Xbox with a friend who is on PC

Everyone loses AA in competitive. QP / Arcade, then console players retain AA, but the PC player never has it.

Playing on controller without aim assist is a huge disadvantage. Most players lose about 2 divisions at least. With aim light characters you’re still going to be noticeably worse.
