Split Aim Assist Users To Their Own Servers - APEX PC

I directly understand the benefits of aim assist while using a controller, i also understand now how hard it is to learn mouse & keyboard. It feels odd watching someone with a controller just lazer s...

@HLNorsemane 

I'm going to disagree with you on everything you just stated. One being PC means personal computer, not you're going to use just one device. Second, controllers are not cheating lol. You're like the most biased person i've seen on the forums in awhile.

I bought and built my PC for creating music. Someone else could have bought one for some other creative idea or really anything. You also seems to have overlooked my topic. It's 100% on the topic of aim assist, not all controller users. I know people are out there that play with aim assist off.

Also you do know X and Y axis is mostly always used on an analog stick, right? Just aiming up and to the left is just that o.0. The more i think about it, an analog stick has more dimensions than a mouse sensor. Thumb stick click could be called Z axis.

Like i stated above, this topic is just about aim assist, i have no issues with controller users directly, because i am one... sometimes lol. I understand what aim assist does, but i can turn it off and do okay. The issue is Apex PC is mostly now controller user. It seems like everyone is a beam and the devs need to look into it.

@Popa2caps Of course controllers are cheating. There is a big fat reason why you see people taking their controller out of their console to use it on the PC for playing Apex. There are plenty of youtube videos now with names such as "Is your aim with mouse and keyboard average or worse? Consider using a controller to do better"

That right there is pretty screwed up. No matter how you spin it, if you have software that ASSISTS you in such a manner that it is no longer all you and your skill doing all the work, then yes, you are cheating. I guess you find it fair game as well that when doing suppleness testing (how high you can jump) to use a trampoline for that extra ASSISTED bounce for that added altitude. It is the same freaking thing.
Also what does it matter that you bought your PC for music? We are talking about GAMING.

    @HLNorsemane I don't agree that controllers on their own are cheating, but controllers on Apex, with enabled Aim Assist, are cheating.
    If it was fairly balanced, I wouldn't care if people used controllers, but that would mean that controller players would be at a disadvantage due to controllers being harder to control.

    @Popa2caps Yes, block me.. After all that is the most logical thing to do seeing as you are in this situation where you can't prove that my logic, the parallel that I drew is flawed. Blocking is much easier =)

    @HLNorsemane Ah of course. Controllers in themselves aren't a cheat. But the AA is of course which is what I meant. I should be more specific about it. I do find it hard to believe though that anyone would would play using a controller without using AA. But perhaps there is a handful of those players out there.

    @HLNorsemane I get ya'.
    And its a weird debate.

    Fully disable Aim Assist: Controllers are completely useless.

    Leave it as is: Controllers instantly make you better than above average keyboard/mouse users.

    Severely reduce Aim assist effectiveness: Twitch streamers get angry because they can't get as many viewers by using their 'built-in' cheats to be better at the game.

    Honest opinion though for PC platform: Most people use Keyboard/mouse, and the game should not include aim assist for people who don't want to use keyboard/mouse, the main input option for PC.
    Consider if they allowed keyboard/mouse on PS4/Xbox where they don't have as powerful of aim assist.
