Does everyone have aimbot or are they just that good?

@damsonwhufndthisThere are times when I get all of that and then some and I can't explain it. Examples...

1) Barely peek and get absolutely lasered when you're convinced there's no way they knew you were there. They also know with 100% accuracy exactly where you'll peek each time.
2) Get killed instantly from purple shields when you hear 2 shots and then check your death feed and see 9 shots with 4 headshots for 175 damage.
3) Get killed by someone moving at a speed you can't replicate, jumping all over the place, and not missing a single shot.
4) Getting focused no matter where you go by players who never miss a sniper/marksman shot from 200+ yards away.

I've only spectated a handful of players that were absolutely cheating, no doubt. The others are really hard to say because cheats are getting harder to detect and the skill ceiling in Apex is absurd. So many people are just ridiculously good at this game.

What drives me wild though is the 1 game in 20 or so when it all feels right and you get a W where you have decent damage and kills. It all points me to SBMM and how completely broken it is.

@HappyHourSumwur This is why I quit man. Uninstalled from PC and walked away.

EVERYTHING about the game design, matchmaking, focus on Streamers and ALGS, tells me that EA doesn't want us filthy casuals playing their Pro-Streamer game.

And I took them at their word.

Figured I'd at least have a PvE game eventually cause I love the setting. And now that's gone.

I appreciate to know that I am not alone in this feeling

"Or it could just be aim assist."

I've played on xbox for 23 years now. If aim assist did ANY of the things that the mnk people claim that it does then I'd be at algs, not complaining about the horrendous weapon mechanics in this game coupled to possibly rampant cheating. But no, I still have the same 25% acuracy I've always had. If there was any aim assist tricks to learn I'd have learned them by now.

So your defense is that since you haven't learned how to use it to it's max potential, then nobody else has?

Personally, All I want is a fair match up in skill, with mnk input, but Respawn has made it clear they don't care about casual players, and extremely don't care about casual mnk players.

You should dig into aim assist more, learn how it works, maximize the 40-60% aiming the game does for you.

That's quite literally how you get better at this game at this point.

Watch videos that explain why it's broken, and use that to your advantage.

I'm not accusing you of having an issue that would impede your gameplay.

I have played mnk shooters for at least 15 years now and I'm still mediocre.

I'm not here to judge you, I'm only saying that if you really want to get better, dig into aim-assist like your life depends on it.

Learn how to use the literal 'Built-in aimbot that's been toned down' and max out it's potential, and you'll see your results improve.

That's just how apex works/was designed, especially on a controller.
