    It was the unmarked bots they put into matches to fill slots and give you a free win that made me quit. If I’m going to play a pvp gametype I want to pvp. They’re not in ranked at least as far as I know but I can’t crossplay with my friends in ranked so there’s no point.

      I mean, a bot match should be such a steamroll that you don’t even realize it till after. 5, 10 minutes tops.

      I do hate that ranked doesn’t have cross play.

      I hang out in plat on PC easily and I use a PS5 controller (with back buttons), but according to the popup when you rank, that’s in the top 15%. And I’m straight up old at this point, if I can do it so can the kids all hopped up on mountain dew. Sure, it’s not as accurate as a mouse, but movement is way better than with a keyboard.

      It’s a tradeoff either way. So I don’t get why everyone freaks out about mouse/keyboard in competitive and wants to split console from PC.

        Yeah I mean once I knew that bot matches were a thing it was obvious and I quit shortly after. I just assumed it was matching me with lower elo players or something. You get so much assistance with controller at least in some games it can be a straight up advantage so yeah idk. I was fine just playing unranked with my console friends but there’s no way to turn off bots then.
