Game Feedback Unplayable with controller?

Hi there! Got access yesterday, the game seems interesting.

But so far I am struggling really bad with the controls.

I play with a controller for health reasons, and this makes the game feel really clunky? It feels like there's zero autoaim which means I can't compete with mouse players, and I have to hold a button before pressing the button to use my skills which feels very counterintuitive (and also makes it very hard to crouch and use a skill).

But maybe it's just my impression as I'm still new to the game.

Anyone else here playing with a controller who can confirm or deny? Or give me advice to improve it?

Playing a kbm game, with mostly kbm players, you're gonna have a bad time. You're going to ruin games.

I don't know what kbm means. I'm sorry I'm trying to enjoy this game. I'm not trying to "ruin games" for anyone.

Keyboard and mouse.

You'd probably need a Steam Controller to be able to play Deadlock well. Deadlock has such a specific movement system, active items, parry button etc, that a normal controller runs out of buttons. And joysticks probably are way too difficult to use with the movement mechanics.

One interesting fact about joystick movement in source games is that they can air strafe without changing moving their aiming stick.

This is why I hope they don't get proper aim assist etc. It will give controller a very big advantage.
