IMO As someone who ' s played both sides of the fence in TiF 1 and TiF 2 , I can assure that MKB are better at a higher skill level but do require a bit more effort . The skill ceiling for MKB is higher but the floor is also lower . Controllers have the ability to squish the skill gap from top to bottom , but they can never hit the high ceiling of KBM due to their inherent limitations with precision aiming . With aim assist out of the picture the controller user would be a a HUGE disadvantage . There would be no real benefit to using it over a mouse and keyboard other than convenience or physical disability limitations making it necessary . This would likely force a lot of people out of the game on PC . Now , I understand the frustration of losing a fight with a controller user when you are using a KBM . I ' ve been on both sides of this . You can easily blame the aim assist as the main reason for this outcome but I ' ve come to realize that the real issue is that one person is better with the input device of their choice than the other person . Almost akin to picking a different titan chassis . There are ups and downs on either side and it is up to the users to make the most out of their own choice .
