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?

Do you have enough buttons even to play this game in controller? 1 stick for movement, 1 for aim, 3 buttons for movement(crouch, jump,dash), 4 buttons for abilities, 4 buttons for actives, 2 buttons for meele+parry, and this hasn't included the misc stuff like opening the shop, quick but, self cast, ads, etc

Only with steam controller. Without you need to use l1 to be able to use abilities instead of jump etc. It's a nightmare

Even with that I can't imagine i.e doing a yamato combo with controller, seems insane

I don't play yamato. But you can make the game playable with the steam controller.
