It was easy as hell to aim at people when the game first released because guns were powerful as hell and they had next to 0 recoil. I've got almost 18k kills on controller, If you seriously think that it affects bullet patterns as well as recoil control then there's something wrong about your entire post. Because you're here stating that controllers are OP, yet they just slow down your sensitivity when aiming around the radius of a person. Yet your entire post seems to benefit PC players significantly even though they have better DPI and control. This tells me you have been using controller a lot less than you say you have because it wouldn't make sense for you to ask for a nerf to a controller where slowing down the sensitivity is the ONLY thing it does.

Here is more definitive proof.
R99 has 0 recoil, it can be hipfired ffs... R301 has next to 0 recoil at medium to close range too. Using a controller means you still have to control recoil, I've played on pc and controller, literally 0 difference, except when using a controller it feels 'weird' to use on the PC platform.
This video.. lmao, please tell me you're joking? The ENTIRE TEAM is less than 2 feet away from his gun, OF COURSE there's going to be no shots missing and no recoil, R301 he hipfired, which again the enemy was less than 1-2 feet away, as for turning, that is down to sensitivity of the controller, the lower it is the more fine tuned your aiming will be. If anything it looks like hes using a zim controller because he has no recoil whatsoever.
The second player you showed was shooting enemies who were at least 5-10 ft away from him, take into account the ridiculous recoil sights give. (Havoc had more recoil added just recently) and his recoil control is awful. 9:25 - 9:36 you can see his aim is trash too. ESPECIALLY for someone whos almost reached level 500. Again this was more than 50 feet away. 11:24-11:26, One hes using a prowler which has a different recoil pattern, 2 his aim is still trash (like i've already mentioned) because he starts shooting to his left than actually on the target. 11;40 - 11 55, he only hits 12 damage and 24, which again proves that his aim is garbage. Doesn't notice the dude to his left on the screen at 12:53 - 13:29 also shows how garbage he is. Doesn't see the enemy on his screen when reviving, correctly mastiffs the first enemy climbing the ladder, then proceeds to mastiff enemies out of mastiff range (stupid as hell) when he had the high ground and then proceeds to go around the building yet again not seeing the person who hes been fighting against the entire time and dying to him. The last wraith in the video made a stupid call way too late and died. A better Representative would be to have both players using the exact same guns with the exact same sights.
All this video shows is that just because you loot fast doesn't mean you have a brain and just because you loot slow doesn't mean you can't aim. Again I see nothing wrong with aim assist, that entire video was biased as hell and you knew it too. There is nothing wrong with the aim assist.
Now let's talk about their skill level from what we can see from the stats.

Clearly Hipkins is a better player if they both use lifeline the most and he has double the kills no? EVEN THOUGH Aerizs has a higher level account he clearly hasn't mastered controlling recoil or how to aim. I feel as though i've said all I have to say in regards to this matter, if you still think different then feel free, but the truth speaks for itself.
