@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.

    @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.
