Aim Assist Update Please
Make it only work on people who have it active. If controller users don't like playing vs mouse & keyboard, they can at anytime move to a Xbox One and/or PS4. If PC players don't like it, we have ...

@Popa2caps Lol still playing that broken record I see... Aim assist is not as strong as you make it out to be.
I wrote the 'book' almost a page up so hear this and don't give me negative comments/replies or requests, this is just something to think about...
True story whether you believe it or not this is true:
I play most of my games of APEX with my 2 sons...Younger one is 6 years old (yes 6 years not 16) and the older one is 9...THEY BOTH PLAY ON PC WITH XBOX ONE CONTROLLERS and I play with keyboard and mouse.
MY 6 YEAR OLD'S HIGHEST KILL GAME = 12 KILLS
MY 9 YEAR OLD'S HIGHEST KILL GAME = 11 KILLS
And neither of these were freak games as long as they get a decent start they are hard to kill
My 9 year old who's fav character is Pathfinder, has 1600 kills with Pathfinder and he hardly plays Apex!!! Especially nowadays since season 5, he hardly plays at all...
Both of my sons are great at Fortnite and Apex but very sketchy in anything like CS-GO etc.
My 6 year old can rake me down with a R99 in Firing Range 1v1, and yes I predict you thinking: "well you must suck if that's the case???"
-Remembering we play PC and my sons play PC with xbox one controllers- they take joy in chasing down teams with Rank jumptrails and they very often succeed in wiping whole squads including Predators (unbelievably especially my 6 year old in close quarters). Now as much as I love my children I know this is not 100% their skills something else is at work here otherwise they would be owning in any FPS but they don't get tons of kills in even CoD online deathmatches and the older one can only manage 16 kills in a CS-GO deathmatch with negative k/d ratio??? They're decent in Overwatch but not overwhelming.
Their average hit time on a random on screen (location) target (pop-up) from central start is 0.9 secs over 60 targets...Mine is 0.4 over 60 targets yet I can't take down squads of Predators and I have seen my sons do it a few times...Things like flick-shots, no scoping, "NON-BURST" firing at medium range with R99 (consistently hitting) are all things they get spot on??? But seemingly only excessively in APEX and FORTNITE...
So now I'm waiting for the explanation?
@ooG0R3ooThe explanation is psychological.
Aim assist makes people, and largely younger people who aren't good with keyboards/mice, who haven't put in much if any practice with keyboard/mouse, feel like aiming gods.
This makes those people want to keep playing for the easy endorphin dump they get when they Lazer down people thanks to aim assist.
This creates an artificial skill floor that's instantly competing with average-good keyboard/mouse players.
FortNite was geared this way to basically get children addicted to the endorphin dump
from feeling skilled and powerful only thanks to aim assist.
As powerful as Aim Assist is on PC, the average skill player will either get on board to abuse it, or get sick of being outclassed to this high skill floor, and leave frustrated to another game.- @ooG0R3oo This can be explained by a factor of things, we're the enemy weak? Are your sons more talented than you think? Pathfinder was bugged for the longest time with numerous issues, i.e in existent hit box, easy to dodge bullets, and now currently impossible to hear his footsteps after his grapple nerf.
As for you thinking they should be getting kills in other games, this games movement is similar to Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, why? Because some of the developers from activision went over to Respawn. Overwatch has stronger aim assist than Apex, CS:GO is like playing hardcore TDM.
Aim assist reduces the speed of your gun when you are near an enemy, which is why it is explainable for them to be able to hit flick shots, Guns don't have any recoil whatsoever at close range when you're in front of someones face with a sniper. The R99, even in its current state right now it will hit every single target, especially if you crouch and shoot with it, it is basically what the wingman used to do. The R99 has always been broken like this and will most likely continue to be so.
I've explained this to the other 2 but it literally falls on deaf ears but I hope you understand, with fortnite you can lock on your target with aim assist by aiming and it clips to their head, you can't on apex, clearly they're very strong features in both games. But what these other 2 FAIL to understand is that if you move R3 down 1-2 inches, that is controlling recoil, if you turn R3 left and right, you miss 90% of your shots unless you're really close. It's not an exploit, it's not a secret, they just want it nerfed because they're horrible at the game. If console had a raw input without the slowed down aim assist when they were going to shoot someone, they would indeed struggle more than they are. You should give your children more credit. I know my children play very well I do give them a lot of credit especially considering their ages, but unfair is unfair!
If I pull out a piece of plank, stick it on my desk and say this is my new input device are they going to put full auto aim in for me then because my input is inferior hence needs assistance? A controller should not be able to challenge a m+k bottom line I don't care the reason! If it's fake then it's fake! If it's assisted then it's assisted! No excuses should be made! controller aiming is fake bottom line so why should anyone just accept that it's ok playing against players with fake/assisted aim? As that is exactly what the situation is regarding controller vs k+m!?
You asked a few comments back if my aim is so bad that I need an emulator?First of all that is not an emulator's purpose 😃 Secondly I bounce the question back at you then : Is your aim so bad that you need aim assist??? Then why do you have it by default??? O because you play on a controller??? Why don't you play on a m+k then??? O because you grew up playing on a controller and you're not use to m+k play? Then why are people playing on PC with a controller??? It is a m+k interface isn't it??? Well then why still do people play on a pc with a controller then when it's a mouse and keyboard interface??? Do the math or calculate the logic!!!!!!!!
I don't care what happens on a console as it's all the same input devices so the same rules apply to all players but when unfair aim assistance gets forced into a interface purely because people are playing the wrong input then I feel that should be banned because that screams for exploiting!
You obviously don't play on pc so you don't get why this is a big issue but a basic question can be asked:
WHY SHOULD IT BE ALLOWED????
And yes I get it they see it as balancing skill but you don't strap a rocket pack to a guy's back running against Usain Bolt in an official race just because he's slower, to equal it out, do you? NO because that's not how it works! It's cheating! So why's it OK in gaming?????????????????????? Why is it ok to enable cheating and be ok with it to 'equal it out'? Remember we (pc K+M players) also want fair! Just like Usain Bolt would...Fake assisted aim against RAW k+b aim is Usain Bolt against a guy with a rocket strapped to his back! Yes the rocket might make the guy as fast (or even faster) than Usain Bolt, making it a closer race, but it's fake! BOTTOM LINE! Why should anyone be ok with it???????
Having AIM ASSISTED players in APEX is like having BOTS in FORTNITE 😃 FAKE!!!!!! What gives the rocket-boosted man the right to get a win against Usain Bolt in an official setting???????????????? So why's it allowed in APEX???????????????

I think you're bias and you don't know it. Why? You have not once been civil in any discussions on this subject. Someone will reply just to be met with a insulting comment back. So what's your deal?
Why are you on a topic i started for Apex PC , just incase you missed it.
I look forward for your next friendly comment, Almost as much as i want to play on consoles... You know to pay to play online and not have control over my motion blur, you know the good gaming experience. Don't mind me, i'm just being 100% sarcastic. I'll never enjoy consoles, the community is just so friendly...
Anyone notice my text is so PC, it's starting to turn RGB? - @ooG0R3oo @ooG0R3oo People play Controller on m&k because they prefer the higher FOV and better graphics, I have a custom gaming PC, I would still choose to use a controller over M&K because that is what i'm used to. Also because their friends are on that particular platform and cross play is not enabled currently.
- @Popa2caps lol Why would I be biased.. aim assist is not as OP as you think, you're just taking it way out of proportion like a 10 year old child who throws a tantrum because his lollipop fell on the floor. If I insulted people like you said I did, trust me they would know about it. If you feel I have not been 'civil', then you sir, need to go outside and remember there's an entire universe out there to explore. The reason you feel that way is because you've been sat inside all day everyday and thus end up 'feeling' texts and that is why it offends you. If you still feel offended for whatever reason, there is a report button and I'm sure a moderator would be more than happy to take a look at my threads and remove anything that they deem inappropriate.
Just in case I haven't mentioned it already, I play on PC from time to time too.
If you're gonna say a joke, at least make it funny. FYI, motion blur is a thing of the past and most modern games have an option to remove motion blur. Or I could just turn on my custom built gaming PC which I put 4,500 pounds into and play games on there. - Approved
@MoNosDirtyGaming
I bet you have word aim assist...
With all of this, you said, they said, this video said bla bla. Couldn't you just post a video with aim assist off to show all of use we're wrong? - @Popa2caps lol you're actually right, 110 words per minute, perks of being a software engineering graduate 😉
