Re: EA and Respawn should reflect. (adjustment of the aim assist, matchmaking, ETC)

@csj711 Honestly I think the reason is pretty is simple, EA and Respawn are American companies and the vast majority of players in the NA are playing on controller, including the devs themselves. So us MnK players voices are kind of drowned out, unfortunately. "The needs of the many" I guess. But I still feel like for a game that prides itself on competitive integrity, this is something that needs to be addressed.

    You seem to be familiar with pad and pad's aim assist.

    And there's a lot I can relate to what you say.

    Through Twitch broadcasting, I'm also seeing Korean Master and Predator MnK users collapsed by lower rank pad users like platinum or diamond.

    What's even sadder is that MnK users, who are masters and predictors, are getting tired of the reality that is upsetting about this situation but not changing much, and are eventually playing happier in other FPS games like Valorant, The Finals, PUBG, etc.

    This problem is getting worse due to malicious users using converters.

    However, EA and Respawn are not responding effectively and sanctioning this.

    Even malicious users who use converters say this. "Thank you so much for EA and Respawn, which don't impose big sanctions on users who use converters. LOL". 

    There is an increasing number of malicious users who look down on users who play normally like that...I'm so angry...

    To put it simply, the converter I told you about is hardware and software that recognizes MnK as a pad so that MnK can also receive the aim assist of the pad.

    I'm telling you based on the Tokyo server.

    In short, many people have known since malicious users in "certain countries" who used VPNs to access Tokyo servers and overuse cheat programs to destroy Apex Legends' environment began using converters smoothly. (I'm speaking based on Tokyo servers.)

    In Korea, Apex Legends has been officially released and is still in service, but since the existing Seoul server has disappeared, Korean users are playing on the Tokyo server.

    However, malicious users in that 'certain country' using cheat programs and converters are suffering greatly.

    Many people are saying that this situation may have happened because the pad's aim assist is powerful in the first place.

  • @csj711 Ah yes, I know about the software. I don't think it's very common here in the US, but I could be wrong. I agree that if aim assist wasn't powerful in the first place, there would be less incentive to use something like that. I could see though how it would be difficult for devs to deal with something like that. I find any form of cheating to be abhorrent. If cheating was necessary to win, I would just rather not play the game.

    I agree with you, too.

    I don't understand cheating for victory. It will be fun and rewarding if you win fairly and with your own skills..

    So I'm even more angry because of the current situation...
