I'm starting to think that it's not the case anymore.
Since Update 24, we can no longer activate our race V4, and scrolling through the stock is as slow, if not slower than a depressed turtle.
Then in Update 26, they forget to add a keybind to Creation's and Gravity's M1 and we can't use them.
And now this, Update 27.1 - the auto shift-lock thingy.
^ For context, the bigger circle is the cursor that automatically appears on your screen when you start using a controller, as with the wast majority of Roblox games. The smaller circle, however, only appears when using/holding a move and disappears when releasing the move (note the green shift-lock icon in the bottom right of the screen, which is exclusive to mobile/tablet devices).
Basically, we have to deal with 2 cursors now - one being used only for Flash Step, and the other one being used for aiming moves.
The first 2 updates i mentioned were still fine, I could deal with the changes. But this? This is ridiculous. Are we really supposed to play with 2 cursors now? Why did they change something that was working fine and was untouched FOR YEARS?
Console/controller was definitely a viable choice to play Blox Fruits on. But now, I think mobile might be better. The game has become barely playable with controller, and I don't think that I'm the only one thinking this.
I probably won't play the game as much as I did before the update, and unless they revert this change then I'm not going to do PvP stuff, which is why I played this game in the first place.
TL:DR - Blox Fruits is becoming less playable and more difficult for console/controller players.
