Aim assist nerf. How do you feel about it now?

Personally, as a controller player, it does feel noticeable but not enough to make me feel like I'm playing so much worse. It feels worse to hipfire but not by a whole lot. The removal of flinch was nice but not groundbreaking for me. How do you guys feel about it?

    Still waiting for them to man up and completely remove it on PC, you either use a MnK that is superior and made for the genre or you stay in an environment like console where everyone has it and it doesnt matter. There is no grounds for artificially giving people aimbot, no matter what.

    @TheDarkWaver That part. I was a console to pc transplant. And I had no idea I wasn’t even playing the same game as players. And knowing just how much aim assist I had on console it takes my breath away thinking about all my randoms who couldn’t break 100 dmg like you really were playing with ur bellybutton or something

    @TheDarkWaver One could argue that mnk wasn't made for gaming. It was invented to replace the typewriter. A game controller was only made for gaming. Just because mnk allows for instant feedback which means instant turning, going back to the first time it was used for a shooter, doesn't make it right. I get its normal at this point but it's funny to think about.

    You can make a lot of stupid arguments for a lot of things, the facts is that the FPS genre was made on PC with MnK like 60 years ago and it is the superior input for the genre, specifically the "mouse" part of it, which wasnt a thing back when Keyboards were meant to replace typewriters. Secondly and more importantly controllers were made for casual usage and adventure type exploration games in mind, which is why movement wise, it´s omni directional movement is simpler and better than an MnK´s. 

    But this isnt what we are arguing here, what we are arguing is the fact that it is inferior and is given built in 30% aimbot to compensate, that isnt fair, no matter if it is 1%, 30% or 100%. Allow MnK and controller everywhere or seperate them and remove AA in tournaments and on PC.

    It truly gives a whole new meaning to why PC players says "console top 500, is pc average" in some games. Cause the abundance of insanely bad players on console is mind altering to see.

    If you play on controller the removal of flinch really didn't matter since AA already negated it. It benefits those of us on MNK far more. It's honestly a much bigger change than the "nerf" to AA.

    60 years ago.... They had first person shooters and mouse and keyboards back in 1964?
