Aim assist gives huge advantages to controller players in mid-to-close range; especially with burst weapons (it is very hard to land a full burst in keyboard & mouse but seems to always happen for opponents). Also, it seems like aim-assist gives players lots more headshots than seems possible. Is this never going to change?
Overwolf has posted stats which state that controller on PC wins more often, has higher KD and higher rank. EA knows this 100%
I want to update this by noting that no EA staff member has responded to this. Take Dark Zero's shooter or any other pro - you are making a huge mistake. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/X_mMr5j-7Uo
I think the most important aspect of the Aim Assist is its ability to provide accurate tracking fire even with muzzle flash and poor visibility. The horizontal Aim Assist is especially powerful. I am a MnK player and I can hardly win in close combat against a roller. I don't think that completely eliminating the assist is a good suggestion, so I suggest the following.
Reduce or eliminate horizontal aim assist.

Yes AA on PC - though it is clear that console are openly joining PC lobbies in ranked and are doing so specifically because they have an aim assist advantage over 90% of the lobby.
There is no way on earth if I had the choice on MNK would I willingly join a console lobby (nor do I have the option that they do). https://www.youtube.com/clip/Ugkxw-z5IEYgBbo4sjFZZkwzN6aMNawJoDYf
Your view point that MNK "Cry" about getting deleted by a controller player is as short sighted as it is offensive, the data is clear on aim assist being a superior input in this game, this is backed up by virtually every single professional player and includes also in this bucket all professional controller players.
SnipeDown calls your view point "Delusional" that ImperialHal can state that "I would hate my life if I was playing MNK right now" and GenBurten can say "It is the superior input" - while Sikezz says "I kill people on accident, it's too strong"
The top three PC predators are all using a single input, as it was last season and the season before that, and this is not without signed pro-MNK players attempting to catch them, though 16 pro-MNK players have been terminated this year and, you guessed it, replaced with controller players.
You know further that you get aim assist through caustic gas, you get aim assist through Bangalore smoke when it's placed in-between players, you get aim assist through trees and bushes.
In short, your opinion is not based on merit or data, and you are absolutely no "guide"

There is a clear consensus both from professional players, down even to this community - posting feedback that there is a huge issue with this game with aim assist as it relates to mouse and keyboard players in ranked.
I could not under any circumstance recommend this game to a PC user if they did not already use and own a controller (many of which cost a minimum of $150)
I also fault EA here for neglecting to respond to this thread despite a request and activity on the topic - a community user should not have to scan and @ members when a legitimate, detailed, focused, and active question is posed from the community and the question sits un-addressed.
Further, you have another user who also has the majority of the community behind them posting on this topic, though as an overarching view of AA and not specific to ranked, and you failed to address this question as well, which is literally the point of posting here, to get actionable information as to a problem in the game from EA staff.
I suck using a controller, 99% of all my gaming has been PC for a long time, so there's no way I could play a fast game like Apex using a controller.
I'm MnK all the way....
Funny that video says that Bangalore is the only thing keeping Apex alive for MnK, Bangalore is the only legend I play too... LOL But it still sucks big time trying to play this game, and I don't play it much anymore.
let's hope they delete aimassist like in overwatch.
it would reduce the amount of cheater a lot aswell since most of them hide behind AA.
but since NA players are mostly AA abusers it probably won't happen.
