Hopefully this mode will return
Arenas were almost 100% controller players. 95% controller averages were not uncommon.
Arenas could have been a fun mode but unfortunately EA and Respawn have poor execution with their products and services ( in the gaming community )
Arenas turned out to be a terrible mode with aim assistance abusers. The mode is gone for a reason and shouldn’t come back
- 2 years ago@Tspin I disagree with you. What source do you have that verifies your claim that 95% of Arenas players were Console players?
- 2 years ago@nerdistheworld If I post links are you going to support aim assistance nerfs to balance the disparity between inputs?
I also have current statistics. More than 90% of Apex professionals have swapped to Controller because of aim assistance. There are only 18 professional Mouse and Keyboard players left.- 2 years ago
@TspinIf you have a source that proves that most Arenas players were Mouse & Keyboard players, then more power to you. However, in my personal experience, aim assistance has been integral to my positive gameplay experience with Apex Legends. Read more below if you care:
For most of my life, I have always sought to turn off Aim-Assist any time I wanted to play a first-person shooter, or any game for that matter. It's been a matter of pride for me.
However, there've been a few FPS games I've played where I'd go up against Mouse & Keyboard players, and I wouldn't have a balanced gameplay experience. When it comes to FPS games, Mouse & Keyboard players are superior to us Controller players, because the amount of time it takes for them to aim and pull the trigger is milliseconds faster compared to us Controller players; and milliseconds can make all the difference between victory and defeat in a game.
I have tried playing Apex Legends without Aim-Assist, and I didn't feel like my reflexes during gameplay matched my button-input time. Turning on Aim-Assist has allowed me to somewhat balance the scales against Mouse & Keyboard players.
I also don't feel like Aim-Assist in Apex Legends is so egregious that it needs to be nerfed. I actually feel like Apex has one of the better Aim-Assists out of all the video games I've played, as it hasn't held my hand all the way.
