PC vs Console skill disparity

ShadowDisciple · February 2016

ok so ive recently been able to play ESO on xbox and the PvP on console is like....soo much easier...

the things ive done in pvp on console and actually dominated the fight is like not even 20% of the amount of what i have to do on PC just to stay alive...

i literally spammed BoL on a stamina Templar and ppl couldnt kill me..i was dropping groups of 6-7 players...and on PC, even 2-3 players cause problems to me...

is it just dumb luck that i ran into these??? or is it really that different?

pc eu
xbox eu

Dumb luck....trust me there are some really bad ass console players.

Having played both PC and Xbox One...each has its groups of dominant players - PvP.

I can't hang so I just do go out there much other than PvE stuff.

It's pretty much the same thing on PS4 too, but it just comes down to the average player not having more experience than PC players, you know, since the game came out on PC like, what... 2 years ago?

And with a controller, I find that it's more awkward when it comes to being consistently quick with weapon swapping, etc - especially when it's lagging *cough* Azura's Star EU *cough*

yea main thing is using controller...i mean there are some things console players dont do...

most of the fights seems slow and static whereeas on PC i move like crazy and enemies do the same..

my keybindings are changed from 1 2 3 4 5 to Q E F Shift Mouse-wheel... so i can click it easier to have easier time jumping and running

Its an experience thing.

And it kinda sounds like the old 1vXers at launch. They could take on entire zergs and win, but a friend and i could take one down in seconds because we werent feeding them ultimate.... Its all about how you play the situation. When they get more experienced im sure they will pose a signifigantly greater challenge.

What I find really funny is the console guys figuring out all the cheese tactics that still work but weren't really discussed.

Watching the evolution from chickens with their heads cut off to pbaoe bomb groups to stealth bomb groups to zergs was interesting.

There are some serious people out there now on the console, quite a lot b.s. builds and old school tactics being used as well, but the skill level is about the same immo.

I think it was just dumb luck. Recently there has been a group of AD running around DCs buff server getting owned by groups half their size. Normally the AD groups we run into are pretty good and give us a challenge but his group is just terrible. I don't know if they are using bad skills or have no CP or what but they get wiped in seconds and kill very few of us. There are good players and bad players everywhere. Sometimes you go up against one group and sometimes the other. And just as a side note, I do NOT consider myself a "good" PvPer, merely average- so if I can handle going 1v2 or 3 against these guys they need some help

When I first got into PvP on PC, the meta was already pretty advanced. There really is no 'middle ground' on PC. It's your either on the bottom or the top. Not surprised you saw what you saw OP. PS4 NA PvP is kinda the same way. Has lots more variety in terms of skill levels. That is really good and healthy for players wanting to get better in PvP.
