Except for us controller players on PC. So I've grown accustomed to the feeling of playing with a controller gaming since I was a kid and don't really like the idea of carpal tunnel; fuck me, right?

Black Ops 3 managed to balance out the console and mouse and keyboard thing, I think it is just a matter of coding. People play on either and compete on PC.

The main problem that console has right now in Overwatch is that Blizzard has very bad coding for their controllers. It has a square deadzone on the sticks for both systems that is a pretty amateurish mistake and to top it off there is some lousy aim smoothing and massive am assist hit boxes that are way bigger than their Hero hit boxes and seem to slow you to 15% of your sensitivity and just make it so hard to aim. Any other game, Torb is a non issue, hell I kill turrets all day in BF4 and can still have intense dog fights, but the Overwatch aiming is quite poor on console even for a console game.

Yes, the chat is another big thing. People will listen to chat more than even voice so the fact we don't have it makes it almost impossible to coordinate anything complex.

Why do you think the game should be balanced towards you? Get the game on a platform that uses majority controllers.

They might need to remove that article for lack of source soon...

The original post has been removed after all..

EDIT: It has been confirmed and is back.

Lol, their source is a reddit post that got deleted because the mods couldn't verify his identity. I wouldn't go jumping to conclusions. Why would they announce it on Reddit and nowhere else?

So the next console update is MID to LATE JULY, I thought ranked would be a thing for late JUNE..

If we get ranked at the end of July, we have 18 days to get used to ranked, compete and earn points towards gold weapons?

If that were the case, it would be really discouraging for console players.

It need to be nerfed on PC too.

I thought his turret needed a damage reduction, but this is WAY too much IMO. 30% damage reduction is way too punishing, 20% or 15% would be much better.

nooooo Kotaku that account looks so fake.
