@4ccbf460f7b926b1Fortnite recently nerfed aim assist on pc by 55% in 2 weeks and its pretty much ruined their game for me because most of the time it feels like the AA is completely gone but if they buffed it by about 10%-15% and made minor tweaks it would be fine, I barely even play it now compared to last season, the problem with AA was mainly for controller users on pc with 144-240 fps because its easier to track players movements but they nerfed it for everyone even users like me that are below 60 fps, I still do pretty well and it dosnt affect me that much except mid to long range with ARs but what actually killed their game for me was all of the map changes and weapon nerfs that went along with the AA nerfs I just can’t stand the new versions of the weapons and the new charged shotgun and its just not fun anymore
My point is alot of weapons in apex are also in need of a nerf like the R-99, Flatline, Havoc, L Star, Hemlok, etc and if Apex goes down the same path and starts nerfing every weapon in the game to weaken controller users further I feel like I just wont enjoy the game anymore because it will feel like an entirely different game...
I feel like controller players on pc should be queued with console users, mouse and key with mouse and key only, then if you have a premade squad that has a mix of inputs either you are queued into mixed lobbies or like you suggested mixed lobbies with reduced aim assist
Even with the current aim assist Im by no means an apex predator, some matches i may be lucky to get 3-5 kills and every now and then I may be lucky and get 6-10 kills but its not like controller players on pc have pure aimbot ive never been over 2k damage although 1 game on bangalore I did get 1963 ish damage

This is the video of Fornite Aim Assist Nerfed that you mentioned.
I personally believe that controller should not be allowed for Competitive FPS (just like Valorant did), controller is better than M/K for competitive fighting games, cars, some RPGs, etc, but if Controller needs Software Assist to actually works on a FPS, should not be considered a good input for that type of game, at least on competitive levels.
And the main issue of this Sotware Assist is that controller players build all their skill around aim assist, and when things like Fornite happen, they feel hopeless and feel just like the streamer on the video, he realized that he wasn't that good, and with just a nerf most of his "skill" was converted to nothing instantly.
Edit: and in case someone says that everyone should be able to play with their input of preference, i can say NO, in any other sport or game in real life, everyone is at equal conditions, any kind of assist is banned and punished in all kind of Sports, that's why i consider that aim assist should not be allowed on Rankeds and Tourneys.
