Aim Assist

@E9ine_ACrhetorical question - how would you feel after doing what you did and running into a 10-year-old kid who plays the game for say 2 months and just sprays you with r99 close range thanks to some skill gained during this period of time and AA?

Or unrelated to AA but still on the same vibe of Apex - how would you feel about running into an MNK player who has done no training whatsoever and just uses a no-recoil script (potentially in combination with soft-bot) and fries you in any distance similar to what we see in pro streamer streams?

Wouldn't you feel like you have wasted a lot of time or at least somewhat sad that you did it the hard way - good for you of course - yet when it comes to comparing results in Apex yours are no better than above mentioned two cases?

A short story of my life. Back in 2000s when I played Quake there was an active community of ~100 players give or take, it was instagib mode = 1 shot 1 kill, in Apex terms = everyone running around with Krabers that do 395 damage no matter where you hit an enemy. Reload time actually was similar.
In this community, I knew 2 clans that were just superior, day in and day out they just destroyed anyone on any day with any team composition in any map in any gameplay be it 1v1, 2v2, 4v4 or 6v6. Undisputed superiority.
On some days I felt worthy, on their level, but really only on some days when I was on fire, lucky with my shots, guesses when pre-firing. On most days I just felt good that ok I can't be on their level yet I can play well vs the rest and say have a 50/50 chance with the most, in some cases constantly be better than the lesser part of the community.

Fast forward to Apex Diamond lobbies - as soon as I see a person charging towards me or firing wingman I know that I am going down being one magged or 3shotted by Eva, Mastif, Wingman, and in most cases I do.
Ok Apex is not 100 player community, I have been around only since 03.2021 yet have cranked almost 2000h in ranked only and most of those in Diamond lobbies, I have watched streams, trainings, constantly record my games and review them, IGL in game which works out well most of the time - indicating that I have at least above average game awareness. Yet I still get down every time I see a player charging towards me or using Wingman.

It just feels like I am the only one in the community who can't hit shots especially with Wingman, the only one using long-range weapons in the game, unable to 1 mag player constantly in-game while doing that with ease in the firing range without any attachments with any gun...

I have no problem losing, it just feels weird that I get that side of the coin 90 times out of 100 and even vs lesser players - platinum and below ranked, players who are sub-level 100, 200, 300...

But that's my story.
