@sixcloudvery extreme and general comment indeed.
Sure people should be able to gauge their performance objectively and see situations where another player is just better. Agreed.
At the same time, we can't neglect all of the feedback about aim assist and other Apex "helpers" due to a potential inability of doing above said given:
- usual complaints about aim assist come when you suddenly get owned by players in whatever rank and after spectate them and see that they have no game sense, sub-par movement etc. etc. and the only thing they really excel in is pointing and shooting in close range.
Like they would be gold or silver in other skills but a predator in shooting that say averages out via them being in diamond or master level...which is kinda weird, unfair in my opinion.
Here is an example from one game I managed to spectate and record due I was playing - this was not the only case he did something like that, on other occasions I was just alive and not able to spectate but our teammate called him out on amazing recoil control and super precise aiming as well. Comment from the player "I train a lot": https://youtu.be/XWfeODhunvU
You be the judge.
- people keep frying, lasering, having no recoil on any gun etc., yet no one can explain how is that possible besides general phrases like "train more" or "learn the recoil"...yet hardly ever does that, people keep just rolling the games and some people seem to be natural-born talents - account level <100, perfect aim and recoil control, excuse that they have 10000h in other FPS games and what else not... hard to believe that in a game that does not have anti-cheat + has in-built aim assist 🙂
Idk is it my life experience (not only FPS game wise) but if I see something that seems too good to be true I request clear proof how to replicate that or I just call it bs.
E.g. in Apex I have been around for almost a year now, I have played all legends, all guns, spent some time in firing range trying to master recoil, jitter aim and what not, talked with multiple hackers in game who were brave enough to admit hacking and share their insights...yet my aim is pretty much the same as before - I started Apex ranked by getting to Diamond in my 3rd split with ~400 damage average and 0.5 k/d, now after being there each consecutive split my damage is still below 500 on average and k/d is 0.6 even though I have much better game read than most player I play with and most of the time I IGL or call out cases when we will (and eventually do) lose fights due to bad decision making, positioning.
Take those "better players" and their stats are just double if not more out of the gate... makes me wonder.
