Console player who wants crossplay

A lot of Adults play it too.

@Bithard as far as modify the game/ hacking... Yeah, that's cheating and screaming for bans. Also, you can hack a console too, but whatever, lol. As far as what you were saying before about having advantages due to hardware... While ppl DO use PCs that are weaker than the PS4, PPL ON PS4 are using keyboard and mouse and you have ppl on PC using controllers...Tossing ALL that to the side and assuming you're right... You'd be left playing against and with ppl of the same skill lvl as yourself, shorter queue times cuz the game has more ppl of your lvl in your region, and less chance you'll have a mix of teammates from yellow ranks to red on the same team. The ADVANTAGES would only be seen from the number next to your name being green/purple rather than purple/red, but the quality of the games would persist. YOU didn't get worse after all, neither did the ppl playing WITH you, you just have the ppl with advantages that you're sweating about in ranks above yours. All this being said... Is this a bad thing? Oh yeah, almost forgot. Apparently different killers are more/less popular depending on platform, so more killer variety.

@DBDbuildsYT I don't really think a platform makes a person more or less toxic, just that it's easier to trashtalk so you might get more of it.

Disregarding the toxicity, which @LordGlint explained (and is also a matter of perspective; I've often heard it's worse on console), if you're not playing to win, why do you care that you lose to someone who is?

I played a lot on console and NEVER saw anything looking like mouse and keyboard player, you can tell by the turning speed of who you are versing, so don't toss that "ppl use it on console so its okay". Its not because such a low percentage of the console community is using it that it makes it okay to pair with PCs mouse and keyboard (same for controllers on that platform).

Also, you say that there's people with strong rigs playing against people with "Walmart toasters". Well, there is minimum and recommended requirements of hardware for the game so you are assuming the risk of disadvantage if you are playing with a weak PC. Console doesn't have that, so why should i accept the disadvantage?

@ermsy that's where I think there's some confusion. For your example with overwatch, if 2 ppl using different platforms played, they'd only play AGAINST each other if they both got to the same rank, which would mean they were the same skill lvl, thus the console user would be able to handle themselves just fine. If your platform severely hindered you, youd never get to the rank to face those ppl to begin with. The Diamond tracer beating all the diamond players...would move to masters where they belong.

@LordGlint I have never seen a hacker on console before. I don't have an amazing PC but I have seen high end gaming set ups and the fact is its superior technology that runs the game so much better than console. I've played both and seen the difference.

I'm not sweating about the killers. This isn't about the player being better than me and this isn't an issue of killer vs survivor. It's about the advantages the PC has. A PS4 Pro doesn't compare.

@ermsy wouldn't be a season or 2. If ya did it at rank reset, ppl would end up placing accordingly. That's just it though, how is that bad? There's no reward to being a certain rank, it's JUST about playing similar skill lvl.

@Bithard These are examples OF advantages. What would they do to YOUR game if ppl on your team and against you end up getting the same rank as you after a reset by using or not using those advantages.

I don't understand why it's so hard to grasp this. Ok a rank reset, everyone is on the same rank. Skill level can be capped through the limitations of the system. Let's say we both play on PC and our skill level is exactly the same, we would end up on the same rank. If I switched to console, because of the limitations of the console ie. Bad frame-rate, lack of sensitivity on the controller etc I wouldn't be able to match your rank despite being at equal skill. And this goes across the board.

Eventually you'll have the majority of consoles players at the bottom playing each other and PC players at the top playing each other.

@ermsy and why is it a problem to be ranked this way. Yes, if you place on PC with me, then decide to change to console and suffer from your platform, you might lose some ranks. Why does it matter if your rank 1 or rank 20, as long as it's with other ppl of your same skill.

@LordGlint because it's not the same skill, it's people relying on the hardware rather than skill. My problem is that I don't want to play against someone that has a clear advantage against me purely from me playing console. It would promote deranking from console players so that they'll avoid these unfair games and it would promote deranking for PC players so that they can grief the console players.

I'm curious, what platform do you play on?

@ermsy deranking is already a thing, and you wouldn't be facing anyone more challenging than you currently do. You just might not have as high of a number next to your name, which isn't a problem.

@LordGlint but that doesn't really change the fact that people would still have an advantage. If an offensive name is a sign it's console then why do most people I play against on PC have names like that 😂

I'm not saying I don't want it because I don't like PC players. It's just there are enough issues with console without adding PC issues.

Personally I'd love to see what it's like to go up against a good PC nurse with my ps4 account but that's going to ruin it for a lot of other people.

Console players would have a huge disadvantage against PC Survivors/Killers.

These two platforms have their own pace... Imagine a PC Nurse facing Console Survivors, people would DC instantly (More so than they already do...)

Imagine Console/Switch Billy vs PC SWF?

Actual P A I N

@Bithard the name thing was a joke, it had PS4 at the end. Whoever has THAT name is clearly 12, or your new stepdad, lol. To give an example of advantages and such OUTSIDE Dbd for a sec. Imagine your playing basketball with all ppl being EQUALLY likely to score points, ect (same rank). Now imagine one of those players is 7ft tall (the advantage). Does this mean the team with the tall guy is more likely to win? It may SEEM so, but we already said, they're all EQUALLY likely to score points. The tall guys advantage might've put him in that rank to begin with, but it's not going to help him against other ppl of that same rank.

I must be getting trolled lol

Do you not see the irony in this statement?

It's literally "I want cross play so there is a bigger playerbase...can only play other console players...so what was the difference"

@TheDuhJ I feel ya on the DLC thing. When I play Warframe, I hop on Xbox because I got so much stuff before I got my PC. Tried it on PC and HAD to use an Xbox controller, lol.
