@Aethenaa Shoot if recoil did not exist you would not have regular players and "Pro" players using xim and macro recoil removing scripts tied to their mouse.
Up close sure guns virtually have very minimal recoil. But when you get to shots past 50 meters this is when recoil sets in. You will need to have a lot more control on the weapon. Then you got shooting at 150-250 meter "Pros" With zero recoil hitting nearly every single bullet shot.
As someone who plays 10-15 hours a day with 13k games played and 3k hours into apex playing against same people for over a year now on same servers. The game is completely un-balanced in terms of fair game play across the board.
Xim - Strikepacks and more help players with huge advantages. So imagine a legit keyboard and mouse player going against a Strikepack controller user. This will be nasty for the pc user. We most likely will die if they get the jump on us.
There are thousands if not hundreds of thousand players who just cheat the system using 3rd party programs to give a huge advantage over the every day legit player.
Us on PC have been dealing with serious cheaters for over a year now with not much to come of it from staff in terms of cleaning house. It is now much much harder for us to tell if we have been beamed by a actual cheater or a controller user with strikepack which is also cheating.
So us on PC will complain highly about their aim assist as if it wasnt there finding cheaters would be much easier to do. Its pretty hard with crossplay to see who is actually legit and who is not.
Which brings me to my orig comment for a year + now ive played with the same people every single day on my region server picked for me. With all the new faces all we can do is dislike the advantage.
