I started playing apex with controller

so,i am not a great player of apex.my currently rank is plat 2 with mnk.i did get to diamond once in s12 i decided to play apex with a controller cuz i got deleted by many controller player

I first started with the genburten setting but i lowered some of the sensitivity. The training in the firing range was pretty good so i switched to play ng.Then i got destroyed by multiple mnk player in 15 different games https://192168ll.link/

The experience of 15 games was definitely not good and i realized the controller is not easy to use even enough it has a 0.6 aim assist.

I will continue to play with controller to see can i get a higher rank than my mnk

    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.

    Bro what ? :D You can literally RANK UP AFK in this game... :D

    May I ask how old are you ? Just curious, not trying to offend anyone.

    @MrGreenWithAGun as you can't even provide a legitimate reason for why you think it is invalid just proves that you didn't have one....

    I myself find your argument about switching from mnk to controller invalid.

    Both input devices are entirely different and trying to throw the learning experience of both devices in with the aa argument is ridiculous. How fast one might take to learn on one input over the other has nothing to do with aa and more about the person themselves.
    One person might take a week to learn to play on a new input another might take a month and another an entire year.

    Mnk is more complex than a controller so of course switching to it would be a hindrance for someone who has never played on one, but you also can't assume that someone who plays primarily on controller has never touched mnk or vice versa.

    A controller is much more simple in its design, button mapping and usage. Everything you need is right at your finger tips and everything is easy to refind if you need move -let's say your thumb to the d pad and then back to thumb stick. There's really no way to confuse your thumb stick with a button and the buttons are easy to memorize location of. Where as a keyboard? All the buttons feel the same except for space bar. It'd be very easy to hit the wrong button and it takes a different kind of muscle memory.

    Even then with a controllers simplicity you are limited to the things you can do, how you can move and such, and while the basics of pointing and shooting are easy to figure out with or without aa, it still takes time and practice to know how to do certain movements. You still need to know how to push a target, still need to know strategies, and how to rotate, and how to predict an enemies movements, and none of that experience has anything to do with aa.

    You take a brand new player who has never played a br and put them on controller, they will still struggle, having a controller with aa doesn't automatically make them a God at the game.
  • @samoa683 I can feel this I also tried to use the controller and quickly learned yea its not just pointing easily and sticking to them. Im to old I guess for those thumb movements. lol
