"You are describing your own experience with normal controller play.
I am describing a completely different phenomenon that affects PC lobbies, especially in Asia.
These are not the same thing, and treating them as if they are is exactly why this problem never gets taken seriously."
I knew that you weren't taking aim at all console players, but the clarification is greatly appreciated. And the reason so many controller players get tight jawed whenever this subject comes up is because many mnk players have stated plainly that THE FIX for the problem is to simply end all aim assist regardless of platform. This is the reason why I take pains to get mnk players to say very clearly that this is not a console vs. pc problem. It's a pc vs. pc problem.
Thanks for actually taking the time to understand the distinction — it really does make the conversation much clearer.
And yes, you summarized it perfectly:
This isn’t a console vs. PC issue.
It’s a PC–vs–PC abuse problem enabled by weak enforcement and an input loophole.
That’s exactly why I get so frustrated whenever the discussion gets derailed into
“remove aim assist from console”
or
“just switch to controller.”
Normal controller users — especially on console — aren’t the people causing the problem.
They’re not installing external tools, they’re not pairing PC responsiveness with cheats, and they’re not the ones dominating Wild Card lobbies in Asia through blatantly assisted tracking.
The people causing the damage are:
PC users
plugging in a controller
running cheat software
and exploiting the fact that Asia servers are barely moderated
That’s the part that needs to be addressed.
I genuinely appreciate that you took the time to read the intent instead of filling in assumptions.
Conversations like this are the only way to separate the real issue from the usual input-war noise.
