Add disable crossplay option or disable aim assist for console players on PC.

I've been a day 0 player, hit diamond solo every season and have friends who play predator on PC with controller without aim assist. When we play in lobbies with console players they beam us from up ...

 @HansBurgers As a console player I'm always confused when other players mention us being capable of things I rarely see. I've also seen PC players one clip a moving target from midrange which I've never seen on consoles.

This makes me curious. Is M/KB more difficult to use close range than it is at a distance? Or have I greatly overestimated what PC players can do based off of YouTube videos? Obviously streamers are above average but I still assumed M/KB was more precise.

@Zamaha400 Close range on mkb is a whole different beast yeah. I’d like to think of myself as a higher bracket player. Get many 2,5k damage matches a day and have 3k on most of my legends. I usually reach diamond 3/2 solo queuing. Still, in a close range fight tracking becomes difficult especially with all the visual clutter (shield flashes and what not). Compare that to when I get absolutely shredded close range by a console controller player which doesn’t seem to miss a single shot. It’s insane. Every time that happens to me and my friends it feels like they’re using aimbot, until we see that they’re a console controller player. Like I said, I have friends who reached predator solo playing on PC with controller and aim assist off and they can’t pull off the same thing that these console players a few ranks below them can. It absolutely ruins the game for me.

    @HansBurgers First sorry for the late reply. Laziness. What you just described is what I'm starting to suspect the M/KB experience is like.

    Most console players assume M/KB to be more accurate at a distance which another poster seems to be confirming. I always assumed that if you could melt a target from mid/long range then you shouldn't miss shots up close. So thanks for telling me about the PC experience.

    I'm going to try Apex without Aim Assists when I'm home. I don't seriously listen to PC players describing the console experience or vice versa. Everyone exaggerates how difficult their side has it so it's only worthwhile hearing about M/KB talking about what the M/KB can do. 

    @Zero-Loot5 I plan on testing Apex out with and without Aim assist. It also felt a little stronger when I lowered my sensitivity so plsn to test that too. Given I play on console and have never seen a controller player melt anyone 1v1 I'm skeptical when I hear experiences like this.

    Obviously I see players get melted when there's a massive skill gap or when they're ambushed but never in a fair 1v1.

    It's possible that aim assist feels stronger at lower sensitivity or that I'm so used to its help that I don't even notice it. It's also possible that PC players are exaggerating or dealing with cheaters who happen to use controllers.
