I'm not sure about the name, but I'm all behind the concept.
Veteran DUSTers forming a bitter coalition with a hard candy shell made of disappointment, and a chewy nougat rage center.
Make the newcomers to Legion swallow it.

Yeah, it is a whole 'nother ball game... softball.
This is in NO WAY meant to insult kb/m users, as opposed to the obviously inflammatory comment I've quoted.
But kb/m is an easier control scheme to use for a shooter than a controller.
There is a reason that kb/m and controller users aren't normally allowed to compete head-to-head in a shooter and that is because kb/m is the easier, more intuitive set of controls when the objective is "put cursor on the thing, provide input through the clicky bits to perform action on the thing you've placed the cursor over".
It's a definitive hardware advantage. Get that? Hardware advantage. Not "skill advantage".
Anyone with two working hands can learn to pilot a mouse and keyboard easily, in fact many people use them every day.
Controllers are the interface that requires constant practice and time to learn to use effectively, because utilizing only your thumbs to shift perspective and move things around isn't intuitive.
What I'm saying is, it requires far more practice to become proficient in a shooter with a controller than it does with a kb/m combo.
Whatever advantage you think you will have as a dedicated kb/m user will quickly be stripped away as console players switch to the far more intuitive set of controls.
That is, if there IS any advantage to start with, considering that again, most people this conversation applies to already use a kb/m in their day-to-day lives.
They aren't learning an entirely new control scheme, they're honing the skills they already posses with said control scheme in a new environment IF (big if) they haven't ever already played a shooter on a PC.
Long post short, come down off that high horse of yours.
The poor nag looks tired, and your nasal hairs need a trim.
