Remove aim assist on consoles
I understand why target compensation is needed on pc. It helps against m&k. After messing around in the firing range today with target compensation off I began wondering why it's needed on consoles i...

@heme725 that's ok because everyone would suffer the same flaws. Everyone would have to adapt and get good.
I'll accept it if they gave aim assist a disadvantage versus not having it on. Like for example your reticle slows down much more when coming across a target making it harder to track. The only players you would kill with it are noobs and bots. Eventually to progress yourself as a player and in ranks it's recommended that you turn it off
The auto aim is not that huge of an advantage. I‘m a ps4 player but I‘m playing Apex with some friends on PC sometimes and of course with controller since I‘m better with it than I am with m&k.
First of all, the aim assist isn‘t nearly that every noob just instantly lasers you without any problems. Secondly, the m&k users have a huge advantage in movement like strafing left/right. I can tell you that it is wayyy harder to challenge a pc player in close fight due to the movement. And when you do you most likely have to shoot with hipfire because of his crazy left/right/duck *. And in that case there is no auto aim at all!
I was playing Battlefield for years with auto aim turned off while 99% of the players had it turned on. I had no problem killing all these guys since auto aim won‘t give them game-sense nor is it anywhere like a aim-bot. I always felt that it even annoyed me since i wasn‘t in full controll of my crosshair, for example when i was shooting a guy and another guy would run across the line of fire, the crosshair would be affected. I was way better without it, but it took a while and a lot of commitment. But not everyone has the time and nerves to do that.
Therefore I wouldn‘t care if they would take it out, but I can tell you that you don‘t have an advantage over m&k players. If anything, the m&k guys still have a huge advantage. Especially in a fast moving game like Apex...
If you wanna play without aim assist, go on and do it.
- @Urbanstyle87 Which is why I said I understood why aim assist for controllers is on pc. I'm a ps4 player myself though sooo this post is mainly about consoles.
