The real controller problem

I love how the geniuses at ea, instead of actually nerfing controller. They just took away tap strafing. As if at any point that will make a difference. 4-3 LINEAR IS THE PROBLEM. There is no world w...

@MagnusVon If they can't fix controllers on PC lobbies, I wish they would just give us an option to opt out of cross-play lobbies. I'm so sick and tired of being put into a lobby where someone is on a controller, (either on a PC or on a console), and they're using things like Steam configs, strikepacks, xim, chronus zen, etc. to abuse the aim assist and get an unfair advantage.

You'd think that if someone suddenly has god aim on a controller, that the aim assist would automatically turn off, but it doesn't.

My honest opinion is that if you're on PC, plugging in a controller shouldn't even work. That's simply because most of us are on a gaming PC, and Apex demands a high end PC to run properly anyways. Why use a controller? Especially when Steam configs are being heavily abused right now.

@Midnight9746 Steam configs as well as CFG exec files are now banned and will not operate inside the game no matter the platform or input.

@E9ine_AC I've noticed that some players are still using something.
I saw a PC random playing on a controller yesterday, and I knew it was a controller player because they looted boxes while standing still, had aim assist, and when I unmuted them, I heard the clicking of a controller. They had that controller no recoil script running as well.
I've heard that PlayStation had blocked the chorus zen in its latest update. I honestly hope that Xbox/Windows, and Switch does the same thing, where they start blocking xim and strikepacks as well. Also making it a system update requirement, otherwise you won't be allowed to go online, so players can't just skip it and still play.
