hi again

i play on PC myself and as far as i'm informed, PC and Consoleplayers can join together in Matches.
So far, so good. Sometimes i read that People ask on what Platform someone plays in order to help this Person with his issues.
So here i am, sitting and thinking to myself, what's the Difference between those Platforms? Why is it an Issue, besides the Obvious (Controller vs. Keyboard ... yet then again, i can Play with a XBox Controller on my PC too so.. that may not be the Issue)

i'm just curious what's the Deal.

thanks in advance for your Replies.
Greetings Cafy

Would have to ask one of the console users. probably voice comms and stuff not crossing over (aka pc users use discord or something similar idk if this is also possible to access on console)

Only Switch/Xbox/PC has crossplay at the moment. As for advantages between console and PC, Mouse is more accurate and easier to control with high sensitivity (so hitting autos and abilities is easier, like Rama ult), using a keyboard is generally easier due to the close proximity between the keys for your abilities, PC has a higher frame rate (Computer spec dependent).

Just the traditional difference between MK and the Joystick, nothing else significant. I play a lot against PC players since I join to PC parties and I feel 0 difference between consoles (when I'm alone) and the PC.

it's also more difficult to use ults such as Anubis' and it's more difficult to evade Medusa ult.

Normally when we talk about consoles, it's cuz most of us can't help PS4 players, as they're not in Crossplay atm

Medusa ult is only hard to dodge on console if your sensitivity is low

Turning around is a big advantage off Console vs PC. I play on PC w/ controller, even with high sensitivity it's slower than mouse. That .25s could be difference off escaping alive. More often than not my case :P (I don't stress it cause my bigger problem is playing w/ 250 ping , haha.

Only way around it is for me to be aggressive, so they have to react. If I got to react it goes bad for me =/

Yes I agree with you, but TBH, you don't feel you are at disadvantage most part of the game + console will always be at high with 60 fps and some pcs can't even reach 60 fps (mine can't even reach 30 :p).
So, being a console player among PC players (thanks to @ThePerfectPrism <3) is pretty normal, and I don't feel any difference between the platforms
