Apex Legends Controller needs a buff...

After the patch that nerfed aim assist to half what they would get on console...and also having tapstrafes completely removed from them whilst MnK players can still abuse it feels very unbalanced as a controller user, and honestly feels like the devs "picked a side" and are prioritizing mnk gamers over their controller counterparts... Anyone who plays apex know its not 90% aim 10% everything els like most fps games. Movement i'd say is atleast 40% of what makes a "good player" in this game, and to have that stripped away for only one input type sounds unthinkable, but it is the reality of what apex is right now.

Simply put, what I suggest is either give pc controller players more aim assist(even 0.35 would suffice but reverting back to the original 0.4 would be ideal), or to return tapstrafes etc for us so we are actually playing the same game lol.

I understand the MnK players argument fully about controller but aim assist nerfs and removing tapstrafes was the wrong way of going about it. If you don't believe me, look at this forum alone and you'll STILL see dozens of MnK players complaining about controller being broken and literally QUITING the game because of it... Us controller players love playing Apex Legends, we just hope you devs see that and treat us fairly in the future instead of like 2nd class players.

  • The fact that rollers are still complaining about movement while having new movement themselves, plus Rotational AA that aims automatically and it has practically no delay speaks volumes that controller players dont think. R6 also showed that the average of rollers are more consistent than mnk. Aim gets you kills, movement doesnt, movement gives you oportunity. The thing is that now a roller can mantle boost into a full clip is ridiculous. Movement requires skill, aiming in mnk requires skill also, practicing every day. Roller is just plug and play, and the game plays itself, you dont have to effort.
    This game need Mnk only lobbies like console has console only lobby. A button that makes you turn off crossplay when u want.

  • Honestly, with cross play the only way they will ever have a chance at balancing the matchmaking is if they enforce controllers for everyone, and disable M&K outside of menu screens. 

    But they won't, because the Type 1 Streamers would scream bloody toddler murder...
