@Sir_NamedThe thing is all you need to say is keep controller players and M&K players separate and you will be fine. Arguing over the merits of aim assist but still wanting combined lobbies just makes you look partisan.
The thing is many controller players rampaging through combined lobbies at the moment are laughing at how easy it is to tear apart M&K players at the moment. How do I know? because my son and his crew who have moved from fortnite this season are doing exactly that and I watch him do it. He is having an awesome time.
Either way respawn are not likely to listen as this is the move that all gaming companies make when their game starts dying off. So arguing over it is moot and actually I will give up on it an move on.
Can respawn nerf the whiners... not their input, not their choice of m&k or controller, or anything game affecting. Just a nerf.

You are are now nerfed.
Aim assist isn't anything overly outrageous. You win some you lose some, on both sides. M&k ha better movement of camera and control recoil if practiced enough to near motionless firing. So ya controller players get some help. Is it an assist? Yes. Is it whiplash inducing wall hacks from the other side of the map? No. Was the aim assist buff needed? Probably not. Infact I'm not sure why they did it. Should there be a separation of controller and m&k? Maybe until this buff is changed. Rather than complaining you should see this as a challenge to further improve your skill and perfect your gameplay so it doesn't grow stagnant.
Learn new plays, new strategies, think outside the box of your usual means.
Be excellent to each other.
@AcumentalYeah, I’m fine to not have crossplay. Of course, it’d be better to have it, but it causes so many issues, so I’m prepared for it to go away.
I just don’t buy that all controller players are stomping on the keyboard players. Good keyboard players hit most of their shots, and still have the movement advantage. Good controller players might hit a bit more than the good keyboard players, but they still lack in mobility. Maybe the low-ish skill levels are suffering more from this, as the aim assist would probably help low-ish skill controller players get the edge on similar skill level keyboard players.
I mean, for lots of console players in the past, it has usually been the other way around, with us being like “how are they that good at aiming? They must be using a keyboard and mouse.” It just seems unlikely to me that all of a sudden controller players are now the dominant force.
