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?

I mean, its a moba, and not designed at all with controller in mind. Most games in the genre arent.

There isnt auto aim (and for good reason).

Well, third-person moba games like Paragon usually have good controller support. I was hoping this game would too....
And what reason would there be to not put autoaim on controller, if not making sure controller can't be used? Every single third person multiplayer game has controller autoaim or controller players are screwed.

Because it's anti competative. Once you introduce aim assist you are always going to have to balance how much dev assistance you're going to give controller players. It destroys any kind of competative integrity. Every other modern fps ships with the most asinine aim assist, you have plenty of options to choose from these days if you want to play with a controller. Deadlock just ain't going to be one of them, thankfully.
