Best operators to use with a controller?

[ThePeeje]

Guys, i gotta tell ya... playing Siege on PC with a controller is such a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rush!!!! Holy crap, it is amazing! Anyone tried it? Think i'm getting PTSD from some of the events i've witnessed and been a part of at higher ranks recently.

Teams of randoms helped me get 7 out of 10 wins and that led to high silver placement. I think what it does when you go up against golds in ranked with randoms, no mics, a controller and 200-250 ping - and everyone enemy is at a major advantage... is it makes you work and think so much harder. And does it feel good when your team wins!

I'm curious if anyone else has tried playing vs PC players with a controller?
And any suggestions for best operators to use?

My mains are mostly utility/support operators:

Defenders:

Lesion (just try to stay alive)
Valkyrie (sneak up on people with cams)
Mira (look through a window and strafe sideways)
Caveira - hopefully get a shot on someone who doesn't know you're there.

Attackers:

Hibana (blow up hatches and snipe from a far - but can run and gun if necesary)
Blackbeard (stand in a window and hopefully find the target before you take 3 bullets to the face)
Dokkaebi (help better players to kill people)
Glaz (snipe from far enough away that they can't hit you)

I'd pretty much say any shield operator or anyone with an LMG. But I'm not sure, I do not play FPSs with the controller.

I tried shields. Find it very hard actually. It helps if you can whip around quickly when getting shot. But yeah thats a good idea! Cheers.

I used to play Console, I'll never play this game with a controller again.

Why not? How is it on console? I intend to make the switch in a few months. Hopefully playing against some incredible PC players will put me in a good position on console. At gold, people hit headshots for fun in this game. The only 1 on 1s i can win are either Acog vs non acog at range, or when they don't see me coming. I can barely even hold an angle, people are so damn fast with M+KB.

At times it's disheartening. But one great thing about Siege is the sheer amount of support you can bring and good tactical decision making. I make such a good web of Lesion traps these days and it really helps the team's fraggers to do their job better.

You're going to switch to console? What
Let me give you some advice, don't. It's an awful experience, toxic teamkillers in literally every casual, no communication in ranked because everyone is in parties, terrible players. Graphics are awful on there, can't stand it.

Just buy a Console if you want to play with controller. I myself tried using controller for almost 2 months when I started playing this game, but it was a huge disadvantage aginst k/m users.
You will never go up higher than silver(maybe gold4 if you are lucky with your teammates) using controller.

Wow that bad eh? I just figure the rank i'll be at on there - i can probably go toe to toe with them. Surely i can get some mates together via discord. I'll give it a go anyway but keep playing on here.

Most people in the game are just shocked to find out i'm playing this way. It might seem impossible to compete, but actually i think it probably just makes you even more of an unselfish, team player this way.

Oh really? How did you find the experience of playing alongside and against gold/silver players?

I didn't ask to be at this rank, but the first few matches in placement were wins so they tested me against some platinums and i even saw one diamond in there too! It's super stressful. Some of the things i'm witnessing - its nothing like casual. Reminds me of the footage i watch of the pro league at times.

Did you have any strats for staying alive? Did you play support roles too? And did you find you could rank higher on console?

If you're not trolling. I would suggest Mira. Her weapon is designed in such a way that aiming for headshot with controllers is much easier.

I don't have console :/ Anyway, I mostly played Kapkan because his gun has little to no recoil, and the useful traps thereof. I don't remember which operator I had used for attacking though.
The experience was quite satisfying if I recall, but frustrating at the same time. I couldn't go further than silver.

Lion+Frost Trust Me

Tachanka

Ops with DMRs. Seriously. It's super easy to adjust recoil on controller.

[Punished Jeremy]

Im pretty sure controller support has nothing to do with particular operators

[Nomad]

there is more recoil on pc verse console. you'd be better using controller on console.
