Console killers, do you have trouble with hitting attacks since crossplay happened?
Before crossplay, I used to have loads of fun with killer. I would have difficulty with the controls and the framerate and I would miss some attacks but the survivors I played against also had that problem so it evens out.
But ever since crossplay came out I found that I have been having less fun playing as killer. Sure, I have been playing against higher level survivors but I wouldn't mind that as because I enjoy a good challenge. However, the performance issues on Switch makes it hell to play against survivors with better framerate.
If they start moving side to side I find that it screws up my aiming so much that I miss hits due to the sensitivity and performance issues. There would be many times where I would swing, and then the survivor would move erratically, which causes my camera to shake and my swing to miss. It also doesn't help that survivors have a tendency to disappear when juking if they get too close, which the low framerate compounds. And then you add elements like corn and it becomes unbearable.
That isn't to say that I lose every match, and I know that I'm also facing other console players, but it feels like I have to put in so much effort and stress as killer as the missed attacks have a bigger effect than when I was facing only Switch players. I find myself playing survivor more as I actually enjoy the crossplay feature of that side.
Sorry for the ranty post because I just had a bad game but I want to know if other Switch and console players are experiencing the same frustrations as I am. Are you having the same trouble with missing attacks or am I just overreacting?

I'm an xbox player and I've actually gotten better at hitting survivors since crossplay came out

FPS issues on console since 4.10 have been really bad. I get aim dressing and strange whiffs even at close range too - Its not just you. There is a 22 page thread (BHVR, can we acknowledge fps on console is AWFUL since 4.1.0?) discussing this.
I haven't noticed any issues solely because of crossplay. I play on PS4 pro.

When i play, i often miss my hits but thats because i rarely play killer at the moment.

Yeah I noticed the FPS since the 4.1.0 update.
I'm not saying that crossplay itself is causing these attack whiffs, but I feel that I'm punished more for them as the skill level is higher than on Switch and they have better controls to take advantage of my whiffs.

Ps4 player here. I dont really find cross play has made it too different, obviously pc survivors can move more rapidly but as long as they are right in front of me I can mostly still hit them with just a tap.
However the frame rate issues and auto dressing are a massive problem on console, especially auto dressing as survivors going side to side can increase the chances of that happening. You're not alone with these issues mate, I'm really hoping they either bring cross progression out soon or just optimise console better already
