I remember how you needed keyboard/mouse pre Uprising to compete and now both have their advantages and disadvantages. Mouse users have precision on long range and very quick tracking speeds, keyboards users have godly adadada strafing, DS3 users have the cqc advantage and better movement capabilities due to analogues input.
Giving mouse/keyboard raw input will remove the only advantage ds3 users have and make mouse/keyboard the best input device as in previous builds. I used mouse in Chromosome and still use mouse today when forge gunning, sniping or needing quick precision aiming at longer distances. And it is still better for weapons that do not have AA at all distances like plasma canons and MD. DS3 finally have its place and can compete against the mouse/keyboard.
You should do as I and probably many others, have both input devices ready at hand and use DS3 if it is as good as you say within 10 meters and your mouse when you are engaging at longer distances.
EDIT: You mention all keyboard/mouse users will leave, that is exactly what happened to many DS3 users in protest over the advantage mouse/keyboards had, they left as they felt it was impossible to compete on equal terms. I still remember some of the old discussions on this subject, the only response from mouse/keyboards users war, "noobs", "HTFU", "harden up" etc
Please link me this "Protest" DS3 users had vs the Kb/M you're speaking of ? Was it in Chromosome when kb/m was damn near raw input, if so I must of been playing a different game ? The only compliant I can remrmber was kb/m having quicker turn speeds do to suit limitations (Even then the DS3 users excelled via the leaderboards) CCP attempted to fix turn speeds by removing suit restrictions for all... At the same time also handicapping kb/m users at the start of Uprising..
If you remember at the launch of Uprising DS3 users realized they couldn't aim because what little aim assist they had in Chromosome was gone.. Holy **** these forums were flooded with DS3 tears, because they weren't able to aim in CQC, after CCP busted out the riot gear the new and improved aim assist was born..
Sorry but you're incredibly bad if you think the DS3 only excels at CQC.. Dust is my first console shooter and with aim assist being the go to for competitive play I had to switch and Im able to pick up a DS3 and drop 30+ kill games... As where when I use the kb/m something that I've been extremely proficient with (in chromosome and outside of Dust) for the past 15yrs, I can't even track my target because like others have stated CCP has ruined the kb/m its like you constantly have a force (under water etc) fighting against your aim/fine movements. .
So please know what you're talking about before spreading wild accusations especially now adays, its pretty comical to read a DS3 users claim the current mouse settings are OP or even useable.. Especially when scrub DS3 users continuously get mudered on the field and assume it's kb/m they are going up against.. (not saying that's you but you sure sound like the type)
