Look what happens when a Predator PC controller player turn off aim assist.
Ok fellas, by reading some of the arguments i will put some facts here:
1. Controller players are not trash, they're putting effort learning all the mechanics involved on a FPS, specially on a BR, they need to have some credit too.
2. Controller Aim Assist actually locks softly on enemies and autotracks with 0ms response (because is in its code: pc_magnet, ads_pull= 0.4 PC, 0.6 console. (Thats 40% and 60% respectively, the rest of the job needs to be done by the user)
3. Every FPS needs 3 basic skills: Aiming (primary) movement and Game Sense.
4.M/K has so many advantages against controller, but those advantages are not free, you need to earn them with a lot a lot of practice, even if you are talented.
Ok, now we can argue.
I don't agree with aim assist being a thing at competitive levels (pubs and casual events are fine) not because i think aim assist transform bad players into gods, its because there're really good players with controllers and aim assist will give them a huge advantage over similar skilled players, on any competitive sport any advantage counts, at top tier levels even the small amount of advantage 1% to 4% won olimpic medals.
And with aim assist we're not talking about 1 to 4%, that's 40% to 60% of help at the most basic skill on any FPS, aim assist is supposed to be a feature to new players and bad players not for PROs.
Every player should be competing with the same rules, and with some players having any kind of assistance that others don't have that rule is broken.
But being realistic, respawn don't want its game being a full competitive Esport, Respawn wants a fully inclusive game where everyone no matter if they're playing with their feets can enjoy the game; even at competitive levels, they're only pushing the tournaments because it's a great show and it's good publicity, and will keep their player base playing and spending money on it.

Read that article about aim assist, it's pretty damn good
"1. Controller players are not trash, they're putting effort learning all the mechanics involved on a FPS, specially on a BR, they need to have some credit too."
No one said this. But when you turn the Aim assist too high, it removes the skill gap from the good ones and the bad ones as they are being helped by the code more than their own play.
In ranked play, it is not acceptable, because it gives you an advantage over pc players who earn their aim through practice at any level. And believe it or not it will be more noticeable at the lower levels where the tuning of the aim assist is helping the most.
