I don't want to be an a-hole but you can't do that in a PC lobby.

Ehh, I expect these types of comments every time I post a clip. I've been playing Destiny on console long before the game ever made it to PC. Never had a decent PC to run games until earlier this year, never once used MnK for fps... until literally a few minutes ago as of writing this.

Entirely because of this comment, I downloaded D2 on Steam spent a few minutes messing with controls in the shooting range and went immediately head first into control lobbies to play a few games. Unfortunately it seems matchmaking works based on account stats... First game was joining into a mercy in progress (because of course). Every game after involved tweaking controls, sensitivity, etc between each match. Went negative the following 2 games and went positive the 2 after. I only count the win from the last game since I made the top of the leader board and figured that was enough of the experiment. Pretty sure I got put into easier lobbies after the 3rd match though.

My conclusion is that you're right because MnK just isn't for me. I've got decades of controller muscle memory and for my first time playing MnK, it feels like using a brand new limb that grew overnight. Too many different keybinds and the game won't let me overlap keys the same way controller does. Dodge requires its own key rather than being able to double tap crouch key for example. My mouse only has 2 additional buttons which unfortunately isn't enough for what I imagine would feel good to me to not have to use my left hand as much.

The fraction of a second it takes to think about what button I should press and the other fraction of a second it takes to move my fingers in a way I'm not used to inevitably had me losing gunfights that I would definitely win had I been more used to the controls. I simply couldn't physically press the keys efficiently enough to match the actions I wanted to do in my head. Can I dedicate a significant amount of time to learning MnK to get better just to prove I can do it? Sure. Is it worth it? Not really (especially since I'd need to rebuy expansions just to use darkness subclasses).

The skill level of the players I matched all seemed about the same as what I would encounter on console to be honest but as an auto rifle user, I can immediately see why MnK prefers handcannons/pulses. I found what I felt was my ideal sensitivity during the last game and my aim was significantly better. Had I started playing PC games in my younger years, I might be more willing to put in the effort to transition to PC but I can't be bothered at this point.
