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...
Forum Discussion
Everybody with a controller gets the same amount of aim assist. On all levels of play aim assist is one clipping enemies. Pros have better position and situational awareness. Again, the aim assistance is literally a software that all controllers have and use at all levels.
The casual players probably get more out of it than the professionals in terms of one clipping enemies.
Largely, low skill players don’t use hard cover, run out into the open and get absolutely fried by players with aim assistance.
But again professional players know how to take space and force enemies into positions without hard cover. And once that happens, aim assistance takes over and one clips professional enemies.
Aim assistance is software. It is over tuned and honestly it’s players who think it’s balanced that make the game worse for everybody.
There are only 18 professional MnK players left in the game. The rest have swapped to controller. We’re approaching a 100% controller meta because of how over tuned aim assistance is.
Apex is about to go down and the most unbalanced game in history. EA and Respawn have no communication with their community. They are literally the most disconnected developers in the industry.
We need to all start realizing/agreeing to, is that no matter what discussions are going on, this is simply an Unfair Problem in the game that needs to go away, that's all there is to it.
Playing this game right now as a MnK player, is not fun!
Aim Assist needs to be removed from this game on PC.
- @AnyBrains Maybe lower it a little sure but no way should it be completely removed. I'm always playing in PC lobbies on console and there's so much us controller players could complain about but it is what it is.
- @DaleFox2012 what is there since pc controllerplayers can do everything mnk can
- @matzesingt Yeah, neo strafing, tap strafing, config super glides 100% of the time. Controllers can move while looting, reload behind knocked players. Controller players can do it all.
Those are videos from PC: 1) and 2) both examples when casual mouse and keyboard players say the game plays itself while aim assist players watch.

Currently, all mouse and keyboard professional players have swapped and feel forced to swap to controller because of the over powered state of aim assist, only 18 MnK pros remain.
