Controllers suck

[Wyakin]

I play on controller and have only one issue. L2 assignments constrict movement because I have to take my thumb off of the analog stick used to move my character to use the skill I place there. A non-issue for jobs like BLM. Pretty big issue for jobs like MNK. If you were to make statements like this along with saying controllers suck, I think peeps might be less likely to throw pitchforks at you. The current solution to this is to be mindful which skills you assign to L2.

Due to that, there is no doubt that players on controller are at a disadvantage, so what does that say about the controller players who are not only clearing but performing well in high-end content? Want to know something else funny about some controller players? Many still use a KB for chat, and have done so even during combat while maintaining good uptime. How the hell are they doing that? Maybe they can type with their feet! xD


Had to edit my post after checking your link. I was partially jesting, but this is amazing. It reminded me of when I lost a friendly tournament at a billiards playing Mortal Kombat to this guy with one arm. I was pretty good at those fighting games too, and that guy owned me without using cheese tactics. Hatsoff amigo!

Use an Xbox controller. Dpad is better placed for right hand use while moving with the left hand

This sadly won't really solve the issue, you'll still need to think how to place your skills comfortably for such things as uptimes, just in another way (I played both with Xbox and Dualshock controllers).
