Proposal: Introduce Light Aim Assist (0.2) for MnK Players

As an MnK player, I would like to make a suggestion to improve game fairness and overall player experience.

In Apex Legends, controller (PAD) input is equipped with strong aim assist (primarily in the 0.4–0.6 range), while MnK input has no aim assist whatsoever.

This design appears to respect the precision of the mouse, but it has resulted in a significant performance gap in practice.

According to reliable large-scale statistical data (such as R5 Reloaded analysis):

• PAD average accuracy: ~33.57%
• MnK average accuracy: ~25.72%

PAD players record approximately 30.5% higher accuracy. Furthermore, the top 60% of PAD players surpass the accuracy of the top 1% of MnK players, and even the top 4% of MnK players only barely reach the overall PAD average. Reports also indicate that PAD holds roughly a 31.5% advantage in KD ratio.

This disparity is difficult to overcome even for highly skilled MnK players who fully utilize advanced movement and character control. Especially in close-to-mid range tracking fights and chaotic team fights, the controller’s rotational aim assist provides a major advantage, affecting overall engagement win rates.

Proposal I kindly request that a very light aim assist of around 0.2 be introduced for MnK as well.

Compared to the controller’s 0.4–0.6, 0.2 is sufficiently modest. It would not compromise the mouse’s inherent precision while still partially correcting the accuracy gap. Taking the existing ~30% accuracy difference into account, I believe this would be an appropriate adjustment range.

After implementation, the value can be fine-tuned based on data. Possible approaches include:

• If issues arise: adjust downward (0.2 → 0.15 → 0.125)
• Alternatively: start at 0.1 and gradually increase (0.1 → 0.15 → 0.2) while monitoring balance

I believe this cautious, data-driven approach would allow for meaningful improvement with minimal disruption.

Expected Effects

• Reduce MnK player churn and encourage new MnK players to join
• Improve overall match quality by addressing input method disparities
• Contribute to a healthier community overall

I apologize for reaching out despite your busy schedule, but I would greatly appreciate it if you could verify this using official data or internal testing and consider the proposal.

I will continue to support Apex Legends going forward.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
