Congratulations Respawn, you ruined Apex.

The aim assist is so poorly designed and broken it makes playing on PC almost pointless. 80% of the players on NA servers arn't even from the NA, can't speak English, don't have mics, have terribly high pings, and then you add their AIMBOT aim assist into that, it's a joke.

@AcumentalWhen the R-99 does lock on its pretty nasty but I still would choose a volt over a R-99 in most cases, Backoffmyjankz said the same thing theres just something about the volt it just feels so much cleaner and shreds better

If you have the R-99 skin from like the season 4-5 battlepass those iron sights are so clean

Aim assist is the most devastating thing that ever happened to my kd/a as solo player. I dont know what EA's statistics show as they really love to stare at those, but in my experience against similar skill level players that i encounter, i end up getting beamed for 200 by r99 in 0.5 seconds more often then not and it is not hard to tell that majority of peoples that manage to kill me are on controller. Spend two thousand hours mastering strafes and movement against MnK players just to run into situation where none of the stuff works against controller players as they track way too easily no matter what kinda lightspeed you travel at.

Part of this is because there is no way to tell if somebody is on MnK or controller before engaging on them so there is really no viable tactic to choose from. if i play r99 i need to get close and if i get close to controller player it is absolutely lethal if they see me for a split second somewhere, play on headglitch? works great vs MnK but not controller. Go for shotgun shots? they always hit 100+ stacks, not a good option. play long range? get knock and they just hit lifeline res and after that knock you need to push, being again in unfavorable situation in close range vs controllers essentially also having to possibly run over an open area to get there without cover

Another +1 the the amount of aim assist with controllers is ridiculous, it needs to be tuned down.

The only people who disagree are the people who are on console, or using controllers on PCs to make up for their lack of skill.

The harsh reality is Respawn is trying to copy Fortnite because they know they'll never become more popular, doing so they are ruining the competitive side of Apex. 90% of players in Lobbies are now controller players, even when you que with PC players. It's an absolute joke and unless they change this and nerf it, they are going to lose all of their best PC players in the near future.

I promise you that.
