About this aim assist

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.

@hayhorwell I guess I am not anyone. Here is me with Eva: https://youtu.be/io5UXU1J2o0

As said before I am ok with someone hitting it time to time but those cases where you barely see an enemy (I know all the theory about angles etc. just don't start) and they already 3-shotted you...

As for the longbow I said that it is there just to complete the list of weapons I get regularly 3-shoted. Also as for AA I am not 100% sure to be honest - had one game where a dude who was playing on a controller landed crazy 2 flick shots in a row, I was dead spectating him and told him in discord "that's the power of controller", he laughed but said nothing. So who knows, its Apex after all - magic happens in this game even target tracking bullets when you don't even aim at the enemy :D

@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.

@hayhorthat don't have to be you, I dead serious shot my Eva 5 times while the enemy's head was right in the dead center of the crosshair box thingy, literally dead center

and what do I get? 0 damage completely miss a shot to the head 5 times in a row you don't just make that one up.
