AIM assist is cheating. Since when did this game start allowing cheat devices? I can't spend money on such an unfair game for PC. I sincerely hope it dies out like Titanfall someday.
When I first played it upon release, it was an exciting and amazing game. Now it's nothing but trash.
Aim assist is not cheating, regardless of your view about it.
I am a PC MnK player and have to deal with it. it is what it is.
Would love to be able to opt out of cross-play and or that there are Console only and PC only lobbies.
We sure could use the correct terms, it is not cheating thats for sure. It's an aimbot that is aloud to use.
May i use quoternion program to change my rotation which points to the enemy? No i may not use that because it's called an aimbot and it's not aloud to use.
So the question why should an aimbot be aloud depending which device the user playing? My opinion it should never be aloud, it is the device owner problem if he/she is unable use the controller which he/she decides to use.
It's an assist, not an aimbot.
The reason why one has an assist and one doesn't is because a mouse theoretically has more control whilst joysticks have less control.
Aim assist overall isn't an issue, though it depends on how much is required for it to balance out to the same level as a mouse.
Then we also have the difference between console and PC platforms, which IIRC is being done due to differences in performance and possibly because they lack other areas where PC doesn't fail.
I'm sure some tweaks can be made to aim assist, but it's not really an aimbot, even if it were, it's obviously going to be considered a legal aimbot due to it being an assist.
I think definion of an aimbot is that it rotates to the target automatically. So it is an aimbot, just by not making it not "too good" doesn't change it.
Again, it's an assist to level the playing field.
An aimbot is something that does it completely for you, aim assist, well, it assists you.
This has existed ever since joysticks were a thing, and now it has entered the playing field for some modern games.
Whilst other games might not find it necessary to implement it, some others might because well, it's intended to level the playing field.
There are quite a lot of notable differences between these 2 things, in my experience the aim assist in this game is not that comparable to an aimbot.
And you don't need perfect mechanical skill to excel in this game, even if you'd get rid of it people would adjust to it without a lot of problems.
Again, some tuning is fine, though I don't think it should be completely be removed.
Yeah, its cheating. Its like giving person without arm to race. Dont worry, we'll "assist" you. We'll change shifts for you, we'll break for you, we will give you double sized road, you just sit and steer with wheel occasionally. 90% of people that beam me without single bullet missed are people with gamepad, and I check it every god damn time! I wont mind console players to play with their assists, I just want them away from my games!
@XHelperZ is probably lower than diamond or does not know what he is talking about. Above diamond masters ALL controller players use .cfg's and * which are also HACKS, i mean if i wrote a script to perform 30 activities in order with miliseconds each time i trigger a certain button its HACKING/SCRIPTING yet devs are okay with it. Aim assist this hard should be on AAA games with stories, where you lay on your coach to chill, shooting someone is easy because the main point is progressing the story. Yet Apex Devs are acting like Jr. developers who never played any competitive FPS games at this point.
It is simple. I gave THOUSANDS of hours in my life to get better at FPS games playing with MnK. Or leave me out the topic, PROS play this FPS genre for years way much more than me, and some certain point they SWITCH to controller, i mean they EARN and COMPETE at the HIGHEST level. As i said in my topic it is equally absurd as a FIFA Pro going keyboard because keyboard has advantage over controller, this is worlds first done by EA and Respawn but they are so ignorant that they just update the maps add some new hero and skins and buff controller slightly every other day idk. I hope we see this sorted out with S17, or i am out, playing since launch and frustration is out of the roof at this point.
I don't play competitive that much anymore, so I'd play around Plat to Diamond.
As for getting rid of AA, it seems like I forgot to add a thing.
I believe higher ranks wouldn't have that much of a problem adjusting to it.
As for lower ranks? Not so much.
If according to you this issue presents itself more in higher ranks then it's not an issue with the assist itself.
You could tune the AA as a whole or you could change how much % AA is active in a certain rank.
I believe that AA is still an assist as controllers and MnK are still not on an equal playing field, hence why an assist is put into place.
How strong the assist is or who gets the assist depends on certain factors that need to be fine tuned.
And please don't call me a troll.
We're having a normal discussion here, it's simply uncalled for.
