Controller support

[RareZoanic]

i'd love for this game upon release to have controller support i'm to good with mouse and keyboard being a console player who just got a pc

MOBA kind of like game using a controller? You've got to be kidding me..

If they did implemented this, in the near future we'll get controller players vs mouse & keyboard players. Someone then will suggest to add a separate mode between the two splitting the player base then adding more modes to half the player base and eventually make it feel like a dead game.

PS: Controller players will have a hard time completing with Keyboard & Mouse users hence the necessity of different separate modes for each will most likely happen.

This is my prediction on how this game's route to its own doom. It happened to a different game I know of. I can't way to see this happen again with just this simple kind of suggestion.

not really there are plenty games right now that has cross play with console that pits controllers against mouse and keyboard and nobody seems to have a problem with i see no difference in at all it would bring a game to it's doom it would improve player base if you ask me. i haven't heard anything about games bombing because controller and M&K where placed against each other

there are plenty of MOBA that use controller and it would be easy to implement by using the twin stick method using the second analog the [the one that usually control the camera] to aim your abilities just like arena of valor is doing it along

Yeah no, I've played DOTA 2 or League of Legends without those features. I did some quick search and it seems they did, I'm not sure but I honestly don't want it to be implemented it to this game.

This game requires time management so switching controller to mouse & keyboard for selecting spots at the start of the map, pinging, making signals to typing to your squadmates/partner is just hassle. To be fair, If we're in a squad using a controller will just affect your performance and dragging us down. They intend to have a ranking system like League of Legends so I doubt it and completely against it.

A player or teammate who can't ping on the map fast, type fast in the chat, react fast in-game for the reason of just using a controller is just absurd. Players going with that controls are nothing but a drag. Stay true to what its been made for. Don't give me the scapegoat of "I'll just go solo anyway so it doesn't matter".

Once this game gets released, it'll most likely be released on multiple servers for wide audience and you can't just have three modes at once splitting the player base so its most likely gonna alternate modes until the playerbase is stable.

I bet someone in the near future will suggest to have VR support in this game as well because they're not good with mouse & keyboard.

if they ever decide to put it on mobile it will most likely have the standard moba controls for mobile mobas. those are basically controller supported and indirectly give it controller support if they do a cross platform mobile release.

League is already making a console version of the game with updated models, ect. so it;s possible it;s just being built for that platform.

i prefer controller as well because it's easier on the wrists and one can sit back all comfy instead of sitting at a computer. and i play mostly pc. but a twinstick method of control would work really well. kinda like diablo

How can one fit so many actions in one controller.... it seems harder.

[Bleenk]

I'd prefer having it on mobile than in a controller

[AnneDead]

curious if they do implement this, if I'd be able to setup my phone as a controller.

Hey all, I've been creating configs for controllers since many years ago.

I created a Steam Controller config that's bit peculiar since it relies on non-standard bindings (to make it work perfectly, it would need a PS-style layout). It's not 100% complete since there are a couple issues with the Drop Item bind (I still have to get the timing 100% right) and the items radial menu is iffy at best, and it requires to play with locked camera. An unlocked camera switch will be tested at some point.

But it does a very good job of never needing to lift and switch any of your fingers when in a battle except to "eat" an item.

If you have any questions, ask! Hopefully I'll be able to stream it soon, but been busy with other games.

To answer some of these comments that are pretty... misinformed:

* With my config you won't need to separate queues into controller/M&K. M&K will always have an advantage but would be some ms, game should be playable until Gold/Platinum rank without major issues. Even Master with some specific characters.
* Game doesn't benefit AT ALL from twin stick gameplay. Twin stick relies on right stick never doing precision pointing and this game needs it. With Gyroscope, the precision pointing works perfectly on this game/config.
* Having a brand new UI+gamepad controls on this game will probably never happen since it's being handled by an indie company.

And some opinions about MOBAs on mobiles: MOBAs don't work on mobiles at all unless they cheat or are just annoying. It means that either the game does auto-targeting (removing skill cap) or forces you to cover 2/3s of the screen with your fingers half the game, resulting on awful gameplay. Not to mention you lose all the lower vision due to UI covering 1/3 of the screen and you will always get flanked there..

BTW I just got my first victory on Normal with a gamepad - I'm not really playing often, besides: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2395664925
