@Bladerunner78mh Respawn provides soft-cheats to everyone if you're interested. It's built right into the game.
Just plug in a controller and let the aim-assist aim for you.
I know that's what I did and I just laugh real hard while spamming RT while wraiths try hopelessly to jump and crouch to dodge shots but the aim just stays stuck to them. Then there's players that are able to spoof their mouse+keyboard to appear to be controllers so they can have the best of both worlds (aim assist + m&kb) completely undetected.
Respawn encourages cheating with their own mechanics. Do you think they honestly care about cheaters using 3rd party cheats? Of course they don't! Their only concern is money! As long as the money keeps coming in then they won't change the way that they do anything.
Respawn doesn't even have a team dedicated to anti-cheat. They just let EasilyDefeated-Anticheat handle it all. You know? the biggest laughing-stock of all anti-cheat providers. They're basically laying out a welcome-mat for cheaters and inviting them in by having EasytoDefeat-Anticheat """"protecting"""" their game.
Lets not forget the game is free either; so after finding their old account banned, cheaters just make a new one and are back to cheating within 5mins at most--it's not even an inconvenience for them.

So you have four choices: take advantage of the soft-cheats that Respawn has provided, become a full-blown cheater yourself, quit the game, or keep complaining about it knowing full well that Respawn doesn't care.

@xTomboyRespecter You sir explained it well. I just started playing Apex but I have experience from other online pvp fps games and I noticed something strange about a lot of players and their aiming. Their hits snap all to well for them to use just their mouse,but it isnt aimbot also... Its aim assist... Thnx for explaining, I am new and didn't even know about that. I came here for answers and got them right away.

Aim assist doesnt snap the sight, it slightly gravitates the sight to an enemy on close range in relation to YOUR movement but not the movement of the enemy. So if you aim straight forward and strafe past an enemy, your sight will automatically bend your aim towards the enemy, but it wont help you track the aim if the enemy moves and you dont. Its a big deal in close combat, "spray and pray" situations, especially with high DPS weapons like R99 etc.
Anyways, I still believe smurfs and high skilled players that havent played much ranked and got demoted down to low tiers (like gold and plat) are both the major cause of people getting melted and one-clipped. Its a poor ranked design and I guess Respawn designed it like this is probably because they get "fake" player count statistics when most players have 2-3 accounts.
