Aim Assist with 500+ hours
Hallo everyone, My name in Munky and I have around 20,000 hours of competitive FPS experience (CS:1.6, CS:S, CS:GO, Overwatch, Valorant). It seems to me that aim assist doesn't work with apex le...

Hi Munkkay!
Ok man, I get your frustration. I'm not one for mixed lobbies either and I believe that that is the real issue people should be fighting. Aa is not the problem, mixed lobbies are. It's like comparing apples and oranges and expecting everything to be the same. Both have advantages and that's just the way things are.
But in case you don't agree with me, and this isn't an attack, here is my opinion on the matter of aim assist.
1st of all, neither input is gonna make things easy for you. Controller does not mean easier. Pick up a wingman or a kraber with a controller and see what happens..
2nd Most people expect not to lose as much as they do given the time they've spent on the game yet they fail to realize their opponents feel the same way. We all die a lot regardless of what our input methods are.
3rd When people lose fights they seek outside influences as excuses for losing. The average Apex player spends no time at all in the firing range, yet they are upset when they miss their shots and their opponents hit theirs. They need to blame things like aa or cheating or servers when their aim isn't on point.
4th Both inputs take a lot of practice to get good at. Aa still needs recoil control and won't direct bullets magically to the opponent. If anything you have less control vs a mouse.
5th Recoil is a lot easier to master on a mouse.
I have a couple questions for you:
Have you ever played on controller?
What do you think aim assist does in Apex?
What makes you think that you are realistically a better player than the person who beat you with a controller?
What makes you think your opponent put in less hours to get good at the game?
@Sand_spitter Have you ever played on controller?
Apex yes but its not relevant because I havent owned a console since the original xbox.
What do you think aim assist does in Apex? Micro adjusts and slighlty pull towards the enemy if you are near them. The problem here is the micro adjustments at inhuman speeds, it also removes the need for seeing what you are shooting because of the micro adjustments.
What makes you think that you are realistically a better player than the person who beat you with a controller? For example today I got 1/4clipped when closing a door by a player who then died to an arcstar, he was well aware of it and had plenty of options to dodge.
What makes you think your opponent put in less hours to get good at the game? the average player doesnt have over 3000 hours in apex

If you've played Apex for a while on controller you'll understand what this about. You still need to practice to get good at it, just picking up a controller and hoping for the best isn't going to cut it or make you a better player, same as playing with a mouse.
It does not adjust and compensate for bad aim. That pull is completely useless once you give any input to the right stick. And you can't be playing without input. I mean think about it, it pulls one way you pull the other to track and control recoil, so it can't do that, it would completely break the mechanics if it did. It's this stupid feature that usually causes these misunderstandings to begin with. Believe me, you still need to see what you are shooting at, your aim won't snap and stick to other players like you think.
Ok, so you think that he's a worse player because he made a mistake? That happens. And spectating someone isn't really proof of someone's overall ability as it's only 1 game. Also, bad choices don't mean bad aim.
Well, maybe not 3000 hours for everyone but you'd be surprised at how many kids have the time to do that. I mean they don't even have to work. They go to school and then it's Apex till midnight every day. There's also no way to tell how many hours a player put into the game so it might actually be more than you, who knows? You mentioned your in diamond, so obviously they have the time / ability to make it to there too.
