Horrible experience of playing MnK

Playing with a mouse and keyboard is genuinely painful. Lately, especially with the Sparrow's arrival, tracking has become incredibly difficult. I used to enjoy playing Mixtape, but seeing the kill camera and witnessing PAD players' otherworldly tracking aim just makes me lose all motivation. Also, the Sparrow's passive feels way too overpowered—it might as well be removed entirely. It's unfair that a passive ability lasting just 2 seconds lets them reach high ground easily, places other characters can only reach by using abilities. Are we supposed to just quietly use Sparrow with a controller?

I know this is a topic brought up time and again, but since the situation where controllers dominate never changes, I'm seriously considering quitting Apex.

Also, please stop interrupting healing when upgrading weapons in Control mode

    What you're saying is partly true to me. Yes, crossplay is totally unfair or unreasonable. But console player never feel painful to play with PC player bcs they are originally in the console lobby and they have an option to play with only the same device players. I also wanna play with only mnk players.
    I don't want aim assist. I don't want to see someone's insane professional aiming by using aim assist or cheating. They are almost like the same thing to me though. When I see someone great in mnk, I'm just surprised and kind of frustrated, which is okay. If I see controller player beating me with incredible aiming, I feel like ridiculous to play this game and respect the other players. Why is one side of device inferior to the other side of device? It's not a legend, not a gun, not an ability or skill. It's device. Aim assist is the help of computer. What is the difference between aim assist and cheating. I cannot tell the difference bcs they always beat me by R99 in a second. Aim assist and cheating are same to me. I want to play and compete with others relying solely on our skill.

    I don't know in detail but console lobbies give you better aim assist. If you are in PC lobbies, aim assist is a bit less than the one in console. Even then controller player gets insane aim assist.

    Okay or fair? Are you asking about aim assist in general or PC players who use a controller to get aim assist they would not otherwise be entitled to? Because from where I'm standing a non-cheating PC player on mnk already has so many advantages over a console player that it's almost laughable that the developer would even consider mixed lobbies. And yet here we are. And now you want to level the PC playing field by making those mixed lobbies even more one-sided in favor of PC? Now is THAT okay or fair?

    Get Respawn to stop crossplay and then I don't really care what fix they come up with for PC players using controller, but until then you can't ask the dev to screw over the console base by handing out more unfair advantages to another subgroup of PC players. I know it sounds harsh, but if you want controller aim assist then start using a controller and see if the advantage you gain is worth all the other things you have to give up. I'm pretty sure that unless you're going to ALGS some time soon that the answer is probably "no." As a matter of fact I'm pretty sure that you'd realize quickly that controller aim assist is not the holy grail it's made out to be, by mnk uses or by the clickbait content creators. Most of the unbeatable players people see are, I'd wager, genuinely cheating. Paid cheat subscribers.

  • Maybe I missed something, when I play in the PC lobbies with my son, and I play on console.... I can't get any damage or kills or assists. 

    Jump back to console only and I can average around 800 damage a game with a 3 to 4 kills. 

    Why doesn't my magic console aim assist track and get me kills in PC lobbies?? Based on what your saying, I should be averaging higher than my console only lobbies.... so what gives?

    ImperialHal confused pad aim assist with aimbots. it's kind of hard to tell if they are aimbots or controller. this means aim assist sometimes just look like aimbot. is it okay? fair?

  • I've said it a million times and I'll say it again:

    Given the age of this game and the very well-documented cheating epidemic from which it suffers, can you look me in the eye and swear that what you're experiencing is controller aim assist and not just rampant subscription aimbots, or at the very least, anti-recoil cheats?

  • yes bro, the mouse and keyboard need to have "AIM ASSIST" too and urgently, I can't take it anymore, I'm desperate for a new game because of this

    So you think this situation is their final answer...

  • It seems they killed off MnK many seasons ago, and the topic comes up from time to time.

    The vast majority of professionals play on a controller for AA and for "smooth recoil".. This needs to stop.
