I find it funny that this whole thread is based on a game the OP hasn't played yet.
I'll admit my first inclination is to agree that there might be numerically more cheaters on PC than consoles, though i'd wager the percentage based on total players is probably close to similar. Yeah big shock the official forums are full of threads complaining about cheaters. So is the same for every online game ever made.
But the real question is how often do you actually feel you come across it? I play a few games of OW on the PC almost every day and i never feel like i come across cheaters. I still think they're out there but i wouldn't switch to console for it.
Stuff like this will always come down to personal experience. Buy the game for the PC if thats where you want to play, if you come across a constant string of cheaters there, switch to the console.
Edit: sorry as for the actual topic. I deal with cheaters by reporting them and trying to avoid them if i see them as well as trying to use them as a means to up my game if possible. I've yet to come across a situation where it was so bad i actively stopped playing a game or switched to a new platform. The worst it's ever gotten is me switching to a new game for a week or so while the cheaters either get bored or placed out of my rank.
