@4ccbf460f7b926b1 Yeah cause everybody knows that the aim assist idea came from fortnite eh? Aimbot only kicks in at close range. If you're that afraid of controller players, avoid close range combat. If you push be smart about it. A controller player is so easy to melt cause they dont have the movements of a mouse and keyboard player. Both have pros and * but i agree on one point, aim assist is too strong, but if you remove it completely, a controller player doesnt stand a chance against a m/k player.

@NewfeelinQc How you will know if someone is on a controller? The only way to know is when you are already been beamed by one.
The pros and * argument is very used and bad, aim assist works at midrange too, 90% of the fights on Apex are Close-mid range Combats.
AIming is the primary advantage on ANY FPS, movement and game sense are secondary, just see cheaters(really bad players) destroys pro teams only because they can land every shot, obviously aim assist is not an aimbot but for sure is way too strong (just see my video, tracks people by itself)
Controller the way is tuned up right now in games like Fornite, Apex, Halo and CoD outperform M/K in the most essential thing of ANY FPs "aiming", Snipedown got the kills record on tournaments against the best players in the world, he's good player, he knows the game, but most important he knows how to use Aim assist, at that level of skill, any advantage will be huge, that's why I'm only asking for removing on Ranks and Tourneys.
(And in case that you're saying that only 1% of controller players reach that level you're wrong, every tournament there's more and more full controller players teams, the amount of controller Preds on PC is huge, if M/K is so superior why controller is absorbing all the top 500 on PC?)

    @audiofilomx why not just use a controller then? I hate mouse and keyboard. Yes games give aim assit to controllers but look at the pc players and what they can do. Can you set a macro on a controller? Can you straff left and right qhile looting? You loot ten times fast than we do on console, shall I go on? You pc players have so many more advantages than us on console and all you're moaning about is the only slight advantage we have. I stopped playing call of duty and fortnite because of the cross play, it literally ruined the game because I couldnt kill pc players and its going to be the exact same here.

      @Lordstuart12 I don't like to use my controller anymore because I don't want to abuse it, i never used peacekeeper, devotion, because of that, it feels wrong and disgusting, is just not fair, and i don't like to play like that.
      But I get your point, that's why i consider aim assist needs to only be removed on ranked games and tournaments, if someone just want to enjoy the game, sure leave aim assist as it is on casual games, but any assist on competitive games should not be allowed, competitive is supposed to be raw skill, introduce aim assist to those scenarios will destroy competition integrity.
      For the record, controllers have cronusmax to use macros, but any Macros that helps you in the game is cheating too for both sides.

        Okay but what you're saying is that the aim assist should be removed from tournaments and ranked? Ita all skill based and such no extra help should be allowed? Then how about this. Force every one to use a mouse and keyboard? That way there isnt any aim assist. In my eyes its childish to ask such a thing. If you take away aim assist in controllers then people using consoles wouldnt stand a chance, its bad enough that they are letting people on switch cross play when they release it, people on switch are going to get destroyed by every one. In sorry if I'm sounding rude in any way but i truly think this thread is pointless.

    @audiofilomx I understand dude but its F2P not everyone is good/ has the time aim assist makes it more inclusive for everyone not just a selective few

      @DaleWWilson95 Sure, not everyone have that time, again, that's why it only needs to be removed or tuned down on ranked and tourneys, those modes are for people that can invest a lot of time in the game

        @audiofilomx I play on console and its rare i see people beaming mid range, because recoil is harder to control on console, its super easy in cod but in apex its hard. If you get beam mid range its cause youre an easy target or 2 not using movement or cover well enough. The only time i get beam like that its against a full stack of preds, never happens against diamond or lower skilled player. I guess we can say the same for mouse and keyboard player beaming at mid range, only the most skilled player can do it. But once again at close range they should slightly decrease it cause its too strong but my close friends cant even beam at close range so not everyone can do it.
        For tournaments they should put controller against controller and m/k against m/k because money is on the line but in ranks there is no point, it will only affect matchmaking in a bad way.

    Honestly, they need to either let PC players OPT out of cross play, or disable console player's ability to have bullets that curve around and through objects. 9/10 times I get killed from behind cover, its from a console player, because aim assist is for some reason, that strong.

    Aim assist should be off for everyone in a competitive game! Period.

      Wow guys, it looks like aim assist lets you lock on targets through smoke without thermal optics. I died to multiple console players who had zero line of sights through two puffs of smoke.
