The Mixer star explained that controller vs mouse and keyboard can lead to some unfair matchups in-game. “If people want to play on controller, then play on the Xbox or PlayStation. […] [Controller on PC] creates these weird little situations and matchups where that guy right there, literally was not going to miss a shot.”
“He doesn’t need to have any aim whatsoever, his scar is going to head dink you every single time,” Ninja explained, giving his take on the controversial topic, “so many arguments, listen I understand its a better experience to play on the PC, right?
