Aim assist - Feedback from professionals

Content creation is happening in the form of R5 which is a version of apex. It’s actually a ton of fun. They crunched numbers and found .15 to be the balance between aim assist and mouse and keyboard...

When professionals talk about anything in life, non professionals listen to professionals

You can’t ignore what they’re saying because they are professionals, that’s not how life works

Aim assist gives players 0ms reaction time.

Aim assist ignores visual clutter.

Aim assist ignores fatigue.

Aim assist forces players who want to be competitive to play with a controller because aim assist give the input way to much value

Aim assist is a over-tuned and needs to be nerfed severely

Aim assist makes it so controller players don’t even have to predict where to shoot because it automatically tracks players

They're not doctors. They're hedge fund managers. Take anything they say with a grain of salt. It's primarily self-serving.

I searched for over 2 and a half hours for this online on my days off, could not find it. I can't remember which company did the study either. This was about 3 years ago, maybe more.
They ran all these cool, firing and aim training programs with a bunch of random gamers on console and PC. This program took everything into play such as PC movement, key binding, Console's stick play and many many other factors.
They ran these programs and had two individuals on both inputs that matched almost identically in the simulator programs and then pitted them against each other in hundreds and hundreds of 1 V 1 battles and adjust accordingly until such a time that both player were batting 500.
It was literally like The Deadliest Warrior show.

@reconzero Thank you, that is more what I meant to say... you said it better. These pros (not all of them) usually complain for what is best for them. It is their income and livelihood after all. So exactly what you said... definitely with a grain of salt.
