I'm arguing that you can't play competitively with the new controls...
Argument denied.
The new controls is exactly why I can try to pvp with valk, which I couldn't before.
Whatever's not good for you, doesn't mean it's not good for other people. In fact, it can be really good for (some) other players.
So your argument is denied.
I think you missed the part where I said I wasn't talking about the casual players here (whom may never actually get deep enough into PvP to be able to discern what my criticism of the new control system even is).
If need be, I can just argue from a status of authority on the subject >_>, reference:
With the old control scheme I set a standard for PvP on my reaper that caused people from other server to transfer just to play with me, and caused people i KoSed (killed on sight) to transfer to avoid me. For me 1v1 was the exception to the rule, I was effectively the party boss at velika outskirts that you better not had forgotten your healer for. When i retired, people literally fought over who would be the next "me".
To deny my argument on the basis that "it's not good for you =/= not good for other people", is to IGNORE the fact that I was literally the best at my class (reaper vs. anything) for nearly a year and a half. Not best because i said so, or because I wanted to be; best because no one could match me with that control scheme.
So, deny all you want, but my point stands. This control scheme directly causes a loss of functionality for controller users that puts them at a disadvantage compared to the previous scheme as well as compared to keyboard/mouse players.
P.S.
Yes, i did name change from Hardmode -> Nyx.
