Streamer and Complexity co-owner Cloakzy took a shot at Warzone's mouse and keyboard community by saying that Call of Duty was meant for consoles.
Aim assist has been a hotly debated topic in the gaming community as more titles begin to support MnK and controllers. CoD is one of many titles affected as well; Games like auraApex Legends and rising FPS title The Finals all suffer from this problem.
Warzone players have complained that MnK players are making it impossible to compete against the Gulag. At the same time, others believe that controllers make FPS games easier to play.

The streamers have been caught in the middle of the debate, and Cloakzy's latest comment isn't the only one by far. Other streamers and professional players, such as Luminosity's HusKerrs, have taken photos of MnK, calling it an “aimbot.”
Cloakzy's response to HusKerrs regarding MnK's aim assist was met with a variety of responses. Some pointed out that the comment was clearly a joke or a Twitch chat transcript.

“I'm sick and tired of MnK complaining about aim assist.” Kluczy said. “CoD and Apex were built around controllers, not keyboard users. That's why aim assist is so powerful. Go play CSGO or Valorant and stick to writing emails.

In contrast, others took the comment in another direction by describing the comment as “”W' Takes.
“Apex is definitely designed around the keyboard,” said one commenter. “The mainstays at launch were iTzTimmy, Nokokopuffs and ImperialHal. Daltoosh and NiceWigg were outliers and that was mainly due to their vibe as well as being good at the game. But mouse players can stay quiet during the entire stream and let the gameplay do the talking. Name a controller player One that can radio silently all the time and get a following. Nobody. Why? Because it's not fun to watch.”
