Aim Assist Nerf
Please return aim assist to how it was. I've been playing this game for years and the aim assist nerf is making it so unplayable. It's turning into what Fortnite was when they nerfed aim assist, a M&...

@RaginSam Thank you for the info. I have been using the default mouse that comes with the computer, but I just bought a new one that says 1000 dpi on it, I'm going to have to experiment with some sensitivities.
I'd like to try some of these key binds you mention to see if I can get something that is less counter intuitive. I also like your idea of starting a second account if they allow it since when I'm in the firing range I always get a lot of invites and I have to get back on controller or go back to switch to play with them depending on their platform.
I'm also considering giving aimlab or a practice program a try since those can help you with coordination and speed. Do you ever use those? Also, do you tap strafe on the mouse? I watched District do tapstrafes and experimented with the switch joycons and figured out how go do them by flicking the controller, it got me out of getting shot a few times, but I know there are long videos on it on YouTube so I'm wondering how difficult it is.
Anyway, thanks so much for the advice.

@AymCTLI only use 800 dpi because that's what I used when there was a thing as native mouse sensor dpi. You really don't have to worry so much about that anymore for the most part. Anything 800 or above is good to use, and that's only because of something called pixel skipping. You would only have to maybe worry about that if you used a very low dpi, like 400, but no reason to do that these days. So set your mouse to 1000, if that is it's native dpi, and then in game you'd set it to 1.1 to get a similar overall sensitivity that I'm using. You're just combining the two into an overall sensitivity.
I can tap-strafe, I have 'w' bound to my mouse wheel up. So I just scroll up when jumping to do that. You can do mouse down, whatever is more comfortable to you. That's probably the easiest and most common way to do it on MnK.
I'm personally not a huge fan of aiming programs and spending hours practicing like that, nothing wrong with it, I just find it very boring. I will go into the firing range for a little bit now and then, and try to get dialed in if I'm feeling off. Using an aim program CAN help you improve quicker, and it can help you improve your aim no matter what skill level you are, but you have to keep up with it to a degree I believe. There's a lot more variables to FPS games then just aiming though, and positioning is king. It also depends on how serious you want to be in a game like Apex. I'm only semi-serious about shooters these days, so I'm just playing for the mechanical enjoyment I get out of it. When I first switched years ago, I did spend some time practicing aim training in Counter Strike, which is kinda what the aim trainers are like these days.
It doesn't hurt to look up pro settings to see what they're using to get in the ballpark of a good sensitivity. For 800 dpi, you should use between 1.0 to 2.0 in game sensitivity, most Pros land in the middle somewhere.
