@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.
