I was in a competitive league on PC a few years back. was in a ps4 competitive league a few years back as well. different games. basically since i was 16, and Im 25 now, experienced everything from both platforms for years, and made good money from that too. youre welcome to look me up.
now regarding eso... PC players play the same, mostly its whoever has better gear that wins, something that allows them to roll dodge more and do more damage etc.. ping, bar switch time, cast times with the internet connection, too many variables. its all numbers right? no actual skill, its an mmo after all.
BUT when it does get pretty close regarding numbers, i have to give it to the PS4 players. The players i found on PS4 for YEARS are simply way better. i dont have an explanation for that, maybe its easier to get on a PS4 all day and they play more. end result is that the PS4 players are try hards with actual sweat on them, giving you are run for your money.
On PS4 its all connected, its 1 profile to all your gaming life, people's ego is on the roof. they will try hard like you PC players have never seen before. if you thought you are somewhat good and youre on PC, you havnt experienced anything.

Let’s be honest, if you threw a console guy on a PC and let him use his controller, even with all the addons pc players are just better for the top portion of the population. You just end up being able to control your characters better than on consoles. Plus, there are pc players like Kristofer who doesn’t use combat addons.

Console players aren’t more skilled, they just suffer from more pain in the ass lack of quality of life stuff so they think a harder to “control” character will mean they’re more skilled. No, they’re just on average weaker than PC players. There is a bigger skill range on console because on the lower end of the spectrum some people are just not used to playing with a controller and controlling their characters well. This is why you more often than not see videos where players look like they have no effing clue what they’re doing or make plays so bad you can do better with your feet in console vids rather than PC vids. On PC it’s just hard to be as bad as some console players.

TL;DR wide skill range on console skews to lower end and occurs due to nature of controllers. PC wipes the floor with console and some people mistakenly tell you console has more “skill” when in fact the only such “skill” is utilizing the controller rather than being good at ESO.

The main reason I keep playing console is because people cant use macros to weave and ani cancel. If you want to use advanced input options you need to actually master them.

Tbh on PC you guys have it easy, there are add ons that practically wipe your ass for you. And honestly we dont even have an effective buff timer on console, you need to remember all of your buff timers in your head.

Who is more skilled? No forum post can say. Are there options on PC that low ability players can utilize to level the playing field? Most certainly.

No one uses macros in ESO your brain is so smooth. It's not hard to use a skill and press right click after how old are you that you can't do a simple task like that.
