AIM ASSIST IS TOO STRONG
Controller players. The current state of Aim Assist is awful, its ABSOLUTELY an advantage to play on controller in the late stages of the game, or during any close range engagement. I see the Issue ...

@audiofilomx I saw your clip. You clearly didn't read my comment.
Try shooting someone who is 1cm away from you with a controller. Or try to shoot someone that is in the air with a controller. Or try shooting someone who is on the ground while you yourself are in the air with a controller. Or reread my comment carefully.
A 1v1 tournament is a great example for controller vs. mouse superiority. Everyone knows Apex is 1v1 after all.
What about regular tournament play then? You know, the standard 3-man-squad battle royale experience, aka how the actual game plays like. What's the controller percentage usage there? Since it's so OP as you claim I would assume about 90% of players use controllers.

@BillyCrash100 I played with controller before m/k i only have 4 years with m/k, i played with controllers since i was a kid, i have 27 years so i have at least 22 years using controllers in every console and i always complained about aim assist since Halo days, i always tried to play without it, but sure, controller is not a good input for FPS, is bad for movement, is bad for aiming, then why there's a bunch of Pro's with controller in a fast game like apex where movement and aiming is all about? Aim assist is the only answer, on tounaments if you know the players, at least a 40% is using a controller (way too many for a bad input) its even a full team called ironically "aim assist"(resultah, gentrifying, desingful) Soar team is only controllers (kobi, jhonny, daltoosh, etc, CLG have Nicewigg, Snipedown, thekine, knoqd, calamitii, averageaden, I can put an enormous list of TOP controller players but will be so damn long and im not saying they're bad, but sure without aim assist, only 1 to 4% of them will actually reach pro level.
I understand your point, controller have so many disadvantages so why it can keep up with m/k?, it's only because aim assist is way too strong, and let's be honest, if aim assist is the only way controller players can aim, it's not true skill, you are being ASSISTED, and why it's legal to enter a tourney with money involved and have Aim assist only because you choose a bad input, not a single game or pro sport in the world allows that.
For Pubs is fine as it is now but for ranked and toruneys should not be allowed at all.

Just gonna add this, there are controller players who are pred with aim assist turned off and even if close range we have a little advantage, we have so many more disadvantages cant move whilst looting, hard to reload when a team mate is downed next to you, resing a team mate near a door nearly always opens it, long range is near impossible, we cant do 90 degree turns around corners as smoothly with movement as mouse and key, as someone who is d2 on both i can tell you its quite a fair playing ground and most pro/pred players agree and if they complain its usually trolling...............
- @Exorial111 At least on PC there're no Preds with aim assist turn off, not a single one.
This was on pc that I’m talking about. Controller players are at such a disadvantage in general in this game. Even close range it can be an advantage but with the superior movement that mk has they controller players can be easily put performed. No good mk player worries about controller players. It’s only people who are not at a great level of skill that complain. Don’t get me wrong in lower ranks I think controller wins much easier because it is easier to control recoil but at higher ranks on mk people can control this so it isn’t an issue.
This response really gets to the heart of the matter. When money is actually on the line, they should either get rid of aim assist or tone it down by quite a fair margin. Maybe make ranked aim assist a lot less potent so that the pro players don't suddenly have to get used to their sudden nerf on aim assist in tournaments.
