There's also the "PC Master Race" stigma that makes keyboards rather uncomfortable to use with the game for some while the game IS ON a PC, it's clearly meant to pay tribute to a series of console games, and many players prefer to treat it as they would a console game because of that. The former is often hailed for allowing superior precision and advanced techniques not possible with an analog controller, but pro-controller players are quick to point out that there is nothing to stop a keyboard player from "accidentally" pressing their opponent's buttons, which would be very easy due to the keymapped nature of the game's controller support.
