I’ll just say my opinion from my personal experience.
First of all, I’m going to say that I don’t “pick sides” like some on this forum. It doesn’t matter to me on which platform you play on, we can always group up, chat and shoot stuff while doing so.
There’s nothing scary if you have a crossplay on, 'cause the fact is, majority of players playing this game aren’t really good to begin with. Some people here are convinced that having a mouse will make you insta super accurate and insta better, it won’t.
It solely comes down to your ability to track, flick and hit your shots.
Having a mouse only helps you do that better instead of controller, but the important fact is, you still need alot of practice to achieve that. That’s why programs like Aim Labs exist, so you can practice your tracking, flicks while hitting the target.
You can see three, four PC FT in one match, three of them doing 500 dmg to Pred while the fourth FT did 5k dmg without chasing Pred all over the map. They play on the same platform, they have access to the same settings, remaps, whatever, but the difference between those three guys and the fourth one is skill.
Better tracking, better awareness of his suroundings, better knowledge of the map and better accuracy.
Yesterday I actually had an Epic player telling me on the mic “thanks for the carry”, dude did zero dmg to PS Pred and we’re both on the same platform, and I play this game on a laptop, so I suffer from frame drops and lag alot.
It hinders my performance in PHG, but I still outperform most of PC player when it comes to match performance, because of the skill difference.
Let’s say if you’re good at this game on console and you get a PC, you’ll need alot of adapting and after that, practice to get good or better. Even if you just get a different mouse, you’ll need time to adapt to it, it’s just muscle memory and getting rid of the old habits and making new one’s. It goes both ways.
Noone is born “skilled”, there’s a starting point and steps to go to get better and getting better requires practice and determination.
