The complaints that keyboard and mouse players gave to controller back than was so hilarious but at the same time very annoying

I think the introduction of duos and no siphon is a big reason to why there arent many up and coming controller players. Many great controller players of today started out as fraggers and in a trio its easier to have a designated role.

Controller need aim assist otherwise it's un usable in battle royale people just don't get it , as a controller player I have never been consistent in any game because the games start out as all players learning the game whether using keyboad , mobile ,or controller but after patches controller players in every battle royale gets nerfed and nerfed to the point you cant even aim , this is because people keep complaining about controllers being broken thats why many controller players cheat lol like you got to make your own aim assist 😂

im surprised you didnt mention the insane dominance of reet in chapter 2 before nerf

Honestly, aim assist is basically useless now. I literally turned it off, and I'm just as good without it

Also let's not forget during fortnite release controller players was also stuck with holding down on their edit button which also gave them a huge disadvantage against keyboard and mouse players. That was until they added custom controls in chapter 1 season 6 where controller players were able to customize their edit bind to whatever they wanted it to be

I never understood why epic turned on cross play. Pc players are complaining about it and console players are complaining about it as well. Why would they do that?

ngl you lowkey make really goated content and always pass the info properly

What I find crazy is that reet, the person that dropped a 40 bomb, was trying to learn mouse and keyboard cause even he’s struggling to keep up

Maybe a good way to help controller players a bit without buffing aim assit is to let us choose different imput curves for building, ads and non-ads sens. Since expo is better for ads, tracking and long range taps, linear is way better for building/editing, and both can be used for non-ads (linear might be better tho), being able to have expo ads and linear for non-ads and building/editing could be really helpful for lots of controller players.

I started on controller playing on pc because that's how I like to play fps but with this game, it's too hard to switch weapons back and forth so now I use a hybrid, half controller and aim with the mouse. I find that movement using the joystick is way easier on keyboard and I can select weapons on my mouse using the extra buttons.

Unknown Army used aimbot, and Peterbot uses aimbot still to this day.

ZB is a different story though. More than half of all the guys on top of the leaderboards in ZB are on controller and using a zen...

how do you qualify to the tournament

Just need more customisations in the controller settings. More curve... also maybe 1 button reset (like scroolwhell reset). Also 1 thing is edit on release need an option to "pause" the edit for do perfect peak with edit on release.

Great video frl!

I mean, in my experience when I played in control the people of KBM cried a lot for the help in the aim of control, but suddenly with control I gave shots of 38 when I hit directly, over the years I switched to Pc and kbm and no matter how bad my shot is I always hit 100+ and it is much easier to track with AR without aiming, so I don't know what they really complained about, maybe it was just frustration because someone with control and limited keys beat someone with all the advantage of his side and still lost.

How do I turn cross play off I don’t want to play with pc players in on console it’s not even fair I play this game casually once every blue moon

i am a controller player should i stop it and switch to m and k ??? and how can i know that i won the pc in the give away??
