Re: Aim assist - Feedback from professionals

@DaleFox2012 Did you even watch the three minutes of podcast between the professional players. This isn’t the opinion of some hardstuck gold boomer. They are the literal best of the best. .0001 of players. Discussing aim assistance. Go to page one and click the link.

  • That doesn't mean they know what'sbest for the rest of the 99.9999% of players.
    They aonly know how AA affects 'their lobbies'.
    The best of the best players can take advatage of AA that no 'real' casual player can.

    AA doesn't aim for you, you still need to have thumbs.
    But...if you're thumbs are top lobby, then AA becomes a borderline exploit.

    So the devs need to find a balance.
    Make AA comfortable enough so that a casual player can enjoy the game, but punish people (trying to) exploiting it.

    Everybody with a controller gets the same amount of aim assist. On all levels of play aim assist is one clipping enemies. Pros have better position and situational awareness. Again, the aim assistance is literally a software that all controllers have and use at all levels.

    The casual players probably get more out of it than the professionals in terms of one clipping enemies.

    Largely, low skill players don’t use hard cover, run out into the open and get absolutely fried by players with aim assistance.

    But again professional players know how to take space and force enemies into positions without hard cover. And once that happens, aim assistance takes over and one clips professional enemies.

    Aim assistance is software. It is over tuned and honestly it’s players who think it’s balanced that make the game worse for everybody.

    There are only 18 professional MnK players left in the game. The rest have swapped to controller. We’re approaching a 100% controller meta because of how over tuned aim assistance is. 

    Apex is about to go down and the most unbalanced game in history. EA and Respawn have no communication with their community. They are literally the most disconnected developers in the industry.

  • We need to all start realizing/agreeing to, is that no matter what discussions are going on, this is simply an Unfair Problem in the game that needs to go away, that's all there is to it.

    Playing this game right now as a MnK player, is not fun!

    Aim Assist needs to be removed from this game on PC.

    @AnyBrains Maybe lower it a little sure but no way should it be completely removed. I'm always playing in PC lobbies on console and there's so much us controller players could complain about but it is what it is.

    @matzesingt Yeah, neo strafing, tap strafing, config super glides 100% of the time. Controllers can move while looting, reload behind knocked players. Controller players can do it all.

    Those are videos from PC: 1) and 2) both examples when casual mouse and keyboard players say the game plays itself while aim assist players watch.

    Currently, all mouse and keyboard professional players have swapped and feel forced to swap to controller because of the over powered state of aim assist, only 18 MnK pros remain.
