I have twenty+ years experience with it. My accuracy with automatics is probably well under 50%. It doesn't "basically aim itself" as so many sour grape mnk players claim. I'm sure this adds me to your list of "low skilled guys," but since we make up about 80% of the player base then you'll forgive me if I don't shed any tears when you get vaporized by the likes of Aceu. Newsflash: those types of players would vaporize you regardless of input device.

@reconzero We want to measure skills on equal terms not by bullshiet terms that we can't affect. What if they decide to lower or raise the amount of aim assist? It is not in anyones best interest when deceding skill factor or being competetive when one input will dominate based on dumb factors we have no control over.... Take actual sports as the prime example.... You don't let people compete against people with disabilities, it is unfair, there is no competition in that. It is like taking steriods you don't want people with steriods compete against those who don't take that because there is no competition in that.
In Apex giving controller players aim assist in my opinion is more like giving them steriods in sports. Sure you can claim how much you want that it only matters on higher skilled level players well it is still an issue even though it only affects 20% of the players. It is also the top 20% players that want real competition....

"You don't think that is unfair against the much harder input to master that does not have that advantage?"
Are we saying that pc players on controller are creating an environment that is unfair to OTHER pc players, or to every player they play against regardless of platform?
Are we saying that pc players deserve consideration because they choose to operate their cutting edge rigs with typewriters instead of a more intuitive input device?
If we are talking about mixed lobbies then what consideration should the developer give to controller players for the "unfair" motion and speed advantages afforded to mnk?
I'm not trying to be obtuse. I can see that there is an advantage to some players in some circumstances. Although it looks to me like a strictly pc problem - pc with controller vs. pc with mnk. Which, as a console player, I feel I can fairly say I do not care about.
In the mean time, I'm very much concerned with mixed lobbies. Those are inherently unfair to both sides in different ways. And Respawn is willing to tolerate the unfairness to make it possible for a miniscule percentage of the player base to team up from different platforms. Big mistake, imo. I would much rather see platforms segregated. But again, if we're talking about only pc players and pc lobbies then this is a subject and a decision for the developer. I guarantee you they have the data that shows whether or not there is a significant statistical bump for controller players. And even if there really is a bump, they may just decide to let the remaining mnk players decide for themselves to switch inputs or suck it. And honestly, since controller is so "easy" to master then what's the big deal?- @reconzero So? Do you keep it on or off?

I have tried it both ways. It makes no difference at all for my mid to long range game where there is almost always time to line up a shot properly. At close range it seemed as if it was marginally more difficult without it, or maybe just slower, but if my accuracy numbers were more than a percent or two different I would be surprised. If only because they're already incredibly low with close range fighting.
