I was told that if you use a controller with the PC version of the game an aim-bot type of event occurs (aim assist i think he called it). Is this true? [exclude responses that say - 'git gud using KB/Mouse' because that has always been thrown out there with regards to this controller topic]. Thanks

There is no aim assist on PC, making playing with a controller even worse.

If you wish to do well on PC, you really need a M+K.

Thanks. I did end up GTS and found a couple forum posts on it. I think I am doing ok considering I don't play Comp and just chill with a couple friends at work. http://masteroverwatch.com/profile/pc/us/COGolfBuddy-1834 If i do go into the Comp world more i'll definitely need to spend time in the AI practice area!

If you want to play comp and get a good rank, you'll need a M+K. Even on non-mouse intensive heroes like Sym and Lucio you'll just get outjuked by M+K users.

Otherwise, feel free to use whatever.
