Console aim assist isn't what you think it is. If you see a console cheater, it's someone using strike packs, xim, scripts, etc.
For example, xim tricks the console into thinking a mouse and keyboard is a controller. Combine that with the given aim assist, and one could call it broken.
I know first hand what console aim assist feels like compared to PC, I've played both. PC gets .4 and consoles get .6. That .2 of a difference might not sound like a lot, but it is. It's like a walking magnet compared to PCs.
If aim assist topics interest you, watch that first video. It goes deep into some topics, most don't. Like the fact that aim assist is just people stuck on controllers, and don't want their product to become useless, so they say aim assist doesn't do that much or speak up when someone blasts it.
Also, my topic was't necessary about aim assist directly, but more on consoles connecting to PC servers and causing networking issues. So things like latency compensation, ping, Ddos stuff like that.
@Popa2capsthe guy on the video is misleading he says : "this is what aim assist does at its full potency of 1.0, it is safe to assume it does the same at lower value"
No it is not safe to say it does the same! at 0.6 the crosshair never track a target and is never on target if that would be the case I would never need to aim and would have great accuracy, the opposite is true I have thousands of hours of play and still have bad aim compared to a pc player.
First, you need to stop taking things out of context just to satisfy your own beliefs. Watch the YouTube video from the start and it clearly states the detail about aim assists and all of the findings can be found at the reddit page named, "Comprehensive Breakdown of Aim Assist: How it works & all related arguments".
What do you mean by, "We" in, "exactly how we feel playing PC"? You must be playing in some very remote area on earth because I witness many consoles willing to venture into PC lobbies in Apex Legends.
Played 5 games, 3 had console players (on my team), and one was on the champion squad. You have to be either super naive and/ or extremely biased to think console players care about mouse & keyboard players that much. I know I didn't care when I played my Xbox Series X and/ or original Xbox One in PC lobbies.
Also this continuation of some arbitrary disadvantage argument needs to stop, like really. If someone (like me) picked a controller to play with, I'm not going to blame anyone else that I choose to use it.
Also, unless you physically play with a mouse & keyboard yourself, you can't know of the challenges that it takes to use said input device. Your argument of people having access to something doesn't automatically make them professionals, it just gives them access to something.
Most people have access to the internet, but you don't see everyone becoming Albert Einstein. We still have people that believe the earth is flat. My opinion stands, aim assist should be lowered to PC controller settings when joining PC lobbies. Consoles are not by any means rare in PC lobbies (CST US).
Warning, the pictures you're about to witness could be shocking and/ or downright disgusting that show consoles do exist, in PC lobbies. Viewer discretion advised.
The person's identity and/ or name has been changed to keep the individual protected.
Have you even played on Xbox controller before? It's not as glorified as you pc mouse and keyboard players make it out to be.
So what's the fix for Xbox player contaminating your lobbies?
Take away the aim assist or make it even to a pc aim assist while pc players get to keep their superior movement and keybinds that give them many advantages over a controller? Cause that seems fair.
Turn off the cross play, and just don't play with them.
