Crossplay as it is doesn't take into account the input being used, only the platforms. On top of that, turning off Crossplay would only match you with players with the same console as you, limiting the possible player count and leading to servers that are more likely to not fill up.

More often than not, console players like myself only disable Crossplay to play with other controller players, not because we want to play with only PS5 players. I think we wouldn't mind if Xbox and controller PC players were added in to fill the servers, as long as we're all using controllers.

The same goes for PC players. Input-Based Matchmaking would give them the option to match with only other MnK players, regardless of the platform being used. Correct me if I'm wrong, but PC can't even turn off Crossplay as it is right now, meaning they're forced to play with controller players. This can solve that.

Some players just would like to play on a more even playing field with others, whether that's only with controller players or only with keyboard players. Input-Based Matchmaking seems like a more logical solution than regular Crossplay, since the input being used is more of a factor in why a player would turn Crossplay off, not because they don't want to play with players from a certain platform.

Edit: I'll add that if Input-Based Matchmaking is switched to off, it'll work just like if Crossplay is on. Breakdown of this below.

• Input-Based Matchmaking Off : Match with any player on any input and platform.

• Input-Based Matchmaking On (MnK) : Match with only other MnK players.

• Input-Based Matchmaking On (Controller) : Match with only other Controller players.
