Has the new controller update helped bridge the gap between mouse+keyboard and controller players?

Those who have mastered the controller already have some advantage over most other players. Even so, for the most part, it all boils down to skill. However, after the controller update went live, those who previously used the device to play were able to dominate most matches.

The Gyro update alone has leveled the playing field between PC and controller players. This is not even considering how broken the Flip Stick feature is. While it does require a bit of practice, those familiar with controllers will be able to utilize this update properly.

Given how successful the update has been, new players to the game may choose to use a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard. Furthermore, with the ability to hold the device from any position, there's a certain amount of flexibility the user gains. They do not need to sit glued to a desk as with the case of a mouse and keyboard.
