Acumental, yeah i have watched him as well, and see he got no recoil.
I was off the game for the entire Season 6, come in Season 7 for a while, and now i`m gone again.
Still i`m watching some streamers, but not that much as before, but still i can comment on what i see.
For the time i played this game i was devoted, used Kovaak(i`m still using it) and Apex Aim trainer. I was putting hard work at the Firing Range as well.
And while you can learn the recoil, you still can`t laser it with 100% of the time. Its still going to kick, when you put 2x scope on R99 for example or 3x on R301, and whatever you do, you will have off shots. Same with Flatline for example. You can`t just keep on the target and still manage to control the recoil 100%, esp on moving target left to right and you doing the same. You either going to control the recoil or miss sight of the target with your crosshair on some occasion, but this doesn`t apply to some players for a reason. :D
The other thing that is super and i mean super susp. is when they are on zipline or on Gravity Lift(Horizon Q). When i`m thrown at the air i pretty much lost total control of the weapon. Good luck with the recoil. Yet some people laser beam you in this state, which is clearly a no-recoil either script or macro.
Recently i watch a video of a "PRO streamer", who made a video about why his guns doesn`t have recoil control and i laugh my ***** to the roof.
11 minutes video where he didn`t even try to explain why he doesn`t have recoil, just showing how he laser beam people. And there was like 10sec of that video, where he shows how he control the recoil on a wall. :D
And he did that with Prowler, and guess what he turned his macro/script off(yeah all streamer/pro cheats are on toggle or hold a button when wanna use it), and he totally lost control of the recoil. Obviously he keep it quite well vertically, but horizontally was a pretty much a splash, like you make a hit with Mastiff ....
Which happen a lot to me, and its normally, because of the recoil pattern.
Just watch his "recoil control":

He is showing at 1:10. Its pretty obvious that he can`t control it, like he is beaming people. And note that he is stationary and is aiming at stationary wall. Its a different thing when you are moving fast and in the same time aiming at fast moving target, your control is going to be less accurate for sure.
Check at 6:27 where he try to show his zero recoil on R301 and have a good laugh at him again. :D
No one is going to admit he is using it, but its quite obvious. They are thinking this is their "special config" that separate them, and they are proud with it.
ShivFPS is the obvious case, the guy has 100k+ kills, 97k to be correct on his Bangalore, and is playing for the beginning, yet its obvious how his weapon kick, esp with 2x and 3x scope. If you watch his streams(not highlighted videos) its quite obvious that he is clean. There isn`t anything susp around him. He is missing shots, tho he has insane aim, its perfectly normal to not have 100% tracking and also zero recoil. Even if you known the pattern 100%, you still have recoil.
What really kills the game for me is this "soft" cheats, that Respawn are doing nothing for it, and they can`t at this state, because a lot of playerbase are here because of the streamers. If they start banning them now, the game will lose all of its fanbase.
