About this aim assist
How does it work? Do they literally have to aim near their target and the assist helps them move the crosshairs onto the enemy? If so, how ballanced is to need less effort to keep your crosshair on ...

@Eshshshss You compare apples and oranges there, controller players who were Pred on xbox doesnt mean they would be Pred on PC... there is way less people on xbox which means it is very much easier to be Pred on xbox than on PC lobbys. Secondly you need to factor in that learning M&K can be way longer, if you put a controller player on MK a couple of months doesnt make him at his full potential against other MK players that have been playing for years on MK. If they hit Masters its all good.
@Palette24carats Pred is pred, it is still top 750.
Time - not sure about this as people did not mention it, yet they did say honestly that it was easier be it AA, lack of players, time invested or what not, they said it was easier, period.

- @Eshshshss Nope wrong, Pred is not pred on any platform... there are 750 preds on xbox no matter how many players, 750 preds on PS and 750 preds on PC. It is way easier to be Pred on xbox than on any platform you should know that.
Palette24carats - very well aware of the fact of how ranked works. My point was that no matter the number of the player base we still talk 100k if not millions of people per hardware type and in such a pool, you can't talk about getting Pred somewhere would be significantly easier than in any other platform. It still is hard and unattainable for most players.
About the video - I personally see the following things there:
- positioning and decision making is at most average, some of the player's decisions are outright newb level e.g. dropping to low-ground just to later use Valks ability to fly up while the enemy is looking/aiming at him (lucky that he did not get fried there)
- you can also see his decision making not matching kills/assists/damage when ~2min 50sec he starts throwing grenades into the house without even seeing enemy there - waste, the player with somewhat good IQ would not do that
- finally the most important part and why I assume this is a controller player - throughout the video, you can see that in the distance he lands 2-3 shots at most and can't handle Flatline's recoil what so ever, the crosshair is all over the place
Yet as soon as he fights with R-99 in a closer range half a mag with limited recoil is no problem - fried Blodhoud who was half dead though, otherwise, he would hit 100+ there, then goes up and does the same to Pathfinder, and more importantly in the end fries Bangalore with Flatline which he could not hit most of these 5 mins.
For me, it is just odd when I see people go from 2-3 shot hit in 100-150m distance and then suddenly become half-aimgods when the distance is <70m
Sure it is all assumptions and my viewpoint, yet if I would need to bet money whether he is/is not a controller player, I would bet on the controller as even his movement is not fluid that you usually see as the first sign of not so good controller players.
@Eshshshss Watching your Eva-8 video some of those shots were bad some looked like clear hits that the game robbed you of so I dunno man. In your first video that was likely a controller player yeah. I wouldn't judge the accuracy of players on one system by the standards of another as M/KB is clearly different from controller.
I'm growing increasingly curious of what the typical PC player's aim looks like. When the player in your video fought close range his opponent didn't move much so not much tracking was needed. Aim assist likely helped there but very little. Do you think his aim should have been worse up close since he missed most of his shots at a distance? How bad is M/KB at close range combat to make you think he should have missed at point blank? I wonder how much of the "Aim assist is OP at close range" and "M/KB is better at range" arguments are true.
@EshshshssWell I guess you have to explain... the guy on the video 1- he is a PC player so he has only 0.4 aim assist just like in ALGS tournaments. 2- he misses so many shots (50%) I don't see where is the problem here 3- the guy has close to 2000 kills on valk which means he plays a lot why would you expect him to be bad?? 4- you don't even know if he uses a controller, you don't
I think a lot of people are forgetting that aim is only one of many factors to winning in this game. How about the argument of movement? Call me when you know someone that can move like this guy using a controller. Every week we get a dose of these types of threads. Lol. Respawn, just give these people what they want and let them turn off crossplay. 😅
Also, there a lot situations that there is no aim assist even when you’re on controller.
1. no aim assist through windows2. no aim assist through Bangalore’s smoke
3. no aim assist through Caustic’s gas
4. no aim assist through railings or stairs
5. no aim assist beyond a 3X scope
- @Cheese9Man Stormen is the bomb. I love watching him play!
