Question: Do you think there is a skill difference between PC and console players?

    Zero difference. A good player is a good player, regardless of playing on console or PC. The only edge PC players have is a more stable product. Frame rate drops on console may as well be the 5th survivor or second killer.

    One of the best nurses I've ever seen/ gone against plays on console. He brutalized us. I wish I could remember his name. Likewise I've gone against PC killers that could smooth a road over us and PC survivors who had the awareness and survival instincts of potatoes

    Kind of. When I play survivor and have cross play teammates, they're generally not the best. When I play killer, they're actually competent. I think it's the luck of the draw, as with most players.

    Pc will all most allways have an advantage even if its small between. Strech red Fps and flicks but I see no reasons why players will be at an major defficit

    Not that I can tell, that all sounds like console limitations affecting how they play more than the players lacking skill in of themselves. But maybe that's just your perspective, after all I'm not in your games and you're not in mine.

    You said they loop just fine. So I'm not sure what else you would be referring to in terms of actual skill in the game that's not a result of console/control issues.

    If you mean you second comment, that where I felt like you were taking their performance as a main measure, like "you can still question if they can truly be more skillful than that". Which is why I made a point that skill is measured differently in console as they have more to deal with. I wouldn't say they're less skillful because they're preforming worse due to other factors, which is what I believed was being said.

    Maybe I'm just missing something here.

    I guess the best way to ask it is:


    Would a rank 1 killer on console do just as good points wise as a rank 1 killer on PC?

    Would a rank 1 survivor on console do just as good points wise as a rank 1 survivor on PC?


    I notice a difference myself playing alongside console players, but the only difference I notice with console killers is usually what seems like a latency issue.
