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 ...

@heme725 @hayhor @RevMainPls - I am not talking in extremes = saying that only Aim assist helped him. The point of the video was to emphasize how an average/bad player with what seems to be a controller can be a kill leader in a lobby partly (we can only assume how much) thanks to aim assist.
Video had to highlight how bad the player is in distance fights and how the situation changes in a close range.
Was the lobby bad/average - yes as most pubs are
Is there a chance he was just lucky getting the kills - yes, even though he onemagged me from R99 face first, that was no luck, that was just me missing shots and him tracking 🙂
Again the point related to this thread's topic I wanted to make and will restate from my previous post - in my opinion, controller is the easiest way to make a bad player better in this game, rest is debatable, an option to opt-out of crossplay should be there so that PC players can play on their "even" grounds.
@heme725- about Respawn's politics regarding aim assist https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/respawn-is-evaluating-the-power-of-aim-assist-in-apex-legends-3035879 or google any other result with keywords like "respwan on aim assist". There are plenty of sources telling it outright that that's the way game developers see evening up the ground for the players in the community or you can name it any other way, the basic fact is - everyone knows controller players can't compete with similarly skilled M&K yet they will not let it be so (discrimination of controller player or what not) so they introduce aim assist into the game's code which is now being exploited left and right by hackers. Job well done, everyone's happy!
@Eshshshss Well first of all I want to apologize if I mocked you since I didnt know you were in the video. I feel bad. Secondly the video showed me that he has a very average skill level (on console) and a bit above average (on console) decision making despite making 2 questionable plays.
You cant determine a players ability off of one fame but I'd wager he's a typical Platinum player. Decent but fairly average.
The issue for me is that I'm clueless of what a M/KB player can do so showing me average controller gameplay with no comparison won't shos me how unbalanced it is. Aim assist gives a bit of advantage up close but how much? Don't know without seeing clips of M/KB close range combat to compare.
If they adjust the Aim assist then I really don't care but it was never added to help controller compete with PC. Controller has always had AA crossplay or not.
I do support separating the systems but there might be a good reason why they won't.
- @heme725 no offense taken and as said before there will never be such comparison available it will only remain subjective and the best people will be able to do is compare other factors.
e.g. in this case should an average controller play say on Platinum level beat close range a person who is solid Diamond 4 level in a format where Diamond player = me, had close to 0 chance outaiming him close range.
But again comparing apples and oranges, very rhetorical question. Yet for me the answer is clear - the dude killed me like he would be Master+, but he plays like Platinum/Gold and I "blame" it on AA.
