Another MnK vs Controller thread (Developer addresses the issue)

Before anything else, a quick reminder to be civil with each other. You can disagree with other people's opinions without throwing insults. This topic is known to get heated so don't break any AHQ ru...

@SHIZNICKMASTA It isn't a big advantage. That's my point. It levels the field. It is easier to aim with a mouse. Aim assist exists only because of this. The devs want controller players to be competitive with mnk. And based on the data I've seen, it's working almost perfectly.

what "data" have you seen? post a link or it doesn't exist. * reddit statistics don't count unless its verifiable and not just thrown together by someone with too much free time.

    I play Controller on PC because comfort and carpal tunnel.

    I know for a fact the "aim assist" is no advantage. In a close up fight, M&K beats me 90% of the time.

    People complaining about aim assist in this game have never played Destiny 2 Crucible, where all hand cannons get so much aim assist as to be laser beams. It's why the meta has almost never changed from Hand Cannon + Shotgun in D2 PvP.

    People are just looking for excuses to dying to bad movement and not using cover. I know when I die to that crap and that is on ME. Not the other player.

      @Kyldenar People should go back and watch the original halo warthog shoot. You could aim next to someone and you'd get a silent aim effect with some bullets hitting. 🤣

      Did you try to tune it to your prefs?

      This might help you get going, because you can tune it to help you quite a bit when they try strafe you. But aim assist wont help you much if youre all crap at aiming, but it helps you get stellar if youre good :D

        @Zkepz 100% I think that mnk wins a lot of the time in close range fights because they can track much easier with mouse but controller needs aim assist to be like this otherwise they are at a huge disadvantage and most controller players are at a disadvantage anyway.

      @Kyldenar I suspect this is a big part of it too. Usually when you see how people play and how bad their aim is it becomes obvious where the problem lies. As long as they win all is well.

    @ShidWidley69420 The data is irrelevant really. The real issue is mixed input lobbies. People can't expect a nerf or removal of aa to a whole platform of players who never wanted to play with pc players to begin with. Why teat the symptom and not the cause?
