Controller players

Hello everyone,

I wanted to start a conversation on something that has been bugging me—and probably a lot of other people—for a while now: Apex Legends' controller aim assist situation. This has been a popular topic for a long time, but let's face it, it seems to have reached a breaking point.


To put it bluntly, I feel that controller aim assist is totally broken. Not only is it powerful, but it's also almost aimbot-level overpowered, particularly in close combat. It's crazy how it tracks and snaps targets with little any player interaction. It's quite annoying for me as a mouse and keyboard player to lose battles because the game is actually aiming for the other person, not because they were better than me.

    There is no concrete evidence to showcase that the massive roller advantage over PC is somehow related solely to ZEN usage. Pro play has had the same issue for years of always having nearly no relevant pc players, with solely the roller pro crowd dominating.

  • Btw they could've avoided all of this had they wanted to implenet input matchmaking instead of non stop saying we can't do it because of the queue times, now when game has lost so much of its playerbase they most certainly can't do anything about it, or maybe they'll give us new heirloom in gotcha event 😂

  • EDITED hopefully within the guidelines deleted message:  imo cheating is having any sort of help that human can't replicate. Having instant response with no delay is not really humanlike no matter how strong it is. But at the end of the day even as an MnK player i believe this game was always meant to be controller game like other high ttk games
