I already am. 🙂
And I get the tradeoff is number of players or wait times.
I also understand that controller needs some level of assist or it is unplayable.
What I don't understand is why EA took away our option.
In the PC arena aim assist should not be a thing in shooters, that is a developer supported cheat from our perspective.
Devs, contact me, not an enormous work needs to be done, hear me out.
I will eventually be writing a thread discussing all the design changes that should be made (if the devs would like to read that instead).
As for your comment - yes, there is never going to be an implementation of aim assist that is fair.
Aim assist brings the skill range up, without affecting the ceiling much (so everyone is fair game). It artificially inflates the skill of worse players (see below):
This creates a problem:
PC do not have this - therefore anyone worse than the console audience suffer. I understand it works in the reverse direction (using XIM converters and whatnot),
there is a solution I will mention in my own thread. The main point here is: the assist threshold is too high, it doesn't affect just a few PC players, it affects the vast majority.
I know why they've done this, but for the sake of balance, it should be reverted.
It should be a huge red flag when people are actively picking up a controller to play PC games.
@DantenateI'm not against console aim assist (of course, not too strong). Console users need this. I'm against PC controllers.
I also agree with what you have written.
@Acumental You don't understand what I mean. Clearly.
