I only play Xonotic these days. A ridiculously old game, pure adrenaline arena shooter. Everybody uses keyboard and mouse, apart from one guy who uses a game controller. He's extremely good, knows the game extremely well and has been playing Xonotic for years I think. But he just can't compete with the better players who are (presumably) using standard PC controls. I've seen forums where console gamers think that mouse is "basically cheating, worse than aimbots". But when it's a flat playing field and everybody is using a mouse, there's such a chasm between the top 5% of players and the rest of the field. There's one regular player who is constantly accused of cheating. Even seasoned players think it but most aren't brave enough to say it. Some players absolutely hate him and start shit-talking him as soon as he joins. People take this stuff seriously.
