Crossplay.
Do you think players on PC will have advantage over players on console if BHVR were to implement cross-platform?

Definitely. However my friends that play on controller on PC does not see a huge difference.
I hope they cross platform xbox and PC soon, because I have some friends that want to join us.

The ONLY real disadvantage would be framerate. Which is HUGE, and a good enough reason not to do it, but it's still the only reason.
Survivors who use a controller can do literally everything survivors using KB+M can do, and just as well with no compromise (you can't moonwalk as easy, boo hoo). They are not at a disadvantage because of their use of a controller as a survivor, and therefore would not be at a disadvantage facing PC killers.
Killers using a controller would be in about the same spot they are now on console. They would be limited, but there wouldn't be anything different for them.

Yes. It a lot more easier to hit then as killer and make 360 when survivor

(actually, 360ing is much easier on a controller)

I don't think, also I only play on keyboard so I don't know exactly

Literally, on controller all you have to do is hold the movement stick one way, and turn the other one in the opposite direction.

i think the only thing is that 360 e easier on a joystick but i don't know also isn't hard doing on keyboard

Yes and no, in my opinion.
A survivor on a controller is no different from a survivor on a keyboard and mouse. They can both do the same things, precision isn't a factor, it's purely a matter of preference.
Killer on a controller is a little more difficult than killer on a keyboard and mouse, though, since precision is a factor at times (e.g. Huntress).
That said, since you're going up against the same level of survivors regardless, I can't see the harm in mixing the two.

I think it'd be nice if crossplatform was a thing when the new consoles came out frame rate would have to be consistent and i think mouse and keyboard would have to be enabled for consoles.

Survivors would be no different. A console survivor and a PC survivor are basically played the same.
Killer is a different story though. PC killers obviously have the upper hand due to controller limitations.

Interesting, so is this something ya'll may eventually pursue? I have friends who have been playing for a long time on PC who I'd love to play with. Also, as someone new to the community, are there any planned changes to matchmaking? As a level 19 killer I keep getting paired with survivors hovering around rank 11-13 making for quite the frustrating learning experience.
I just found this forum today and have noticed devs seem to be avoiding threads discussing matchmaking issues. If this is a topic that has already been addressed--thus the disregard for those threads--my apologies! Was just curious as someone brand new to the game experiencing some minor frustration.

Not really, I would only think it would matter on huntress or nurse. Especially nurse, where you need to do a 360 if the survivor is leaping across pallets. For the M1 killers I doubt it will matter.
The main advantage is that DBD on xbox / PS4 are practically unplayable because of the frame rate. That should really be fixed before they add crossplay. It blows my mind I can be getting super smooth frames on a game that looks 2x as good, like apex, but DBD is a slideshow most of the time.

Precision is a factor for survivor when it comes to M&K vs controller.
A M&K can make sharper turns than a controller.
Ex: With M&K you can do a very quick 180 to try and dodge Billy's chainsaw if he is curving around a loop. You can't react fast enough with a controller on the other hand.
I've actually seen a survivor 180 a really skilled Billy with Doom Engravings.
This precise movement from a M&K is helpful when trying to dodge hatchets as well.
The point is M&K survivors with fast reactions will have an advantage over controller players by virtue of a mouse and keyboard being superior hardware.

Yes, PC players will have an advantage.
I've played on both platforms, and a M&K is much better than a controller.

You can go watch plenty of rank 1 survivors and killers play with a controller. Brother cope / liltinyplane comes to mind. I personally play survivor with a controller and killer with a mouse and keyboard, because it's way more comfortable to hold X all game then hold M1 all game as survivor. I feel like it's easier to 360 on a controller as well.

You should watch Vooshy play survivor. He can do some really incredible things as survivor.
I didn't realize just how valuable a M&K was until I saw him play.
Again, like I said, M&K has superior movement.
And FYI, Brother Cope has said himself personally that he is a very average player.
