The aiming mechanics of the game is intended to help controller players in some situations, but work directly against them in other situations because opponents take advantage of these limitations and abuse it to their advantage.Because controller players have a limited yaw speed of 500, its easy for other players to take advantage of this limitation because you can just push up against them with any weapon and just dance around them and they may be unable to track or even find you.And on top of that because controller players have a slowdown box on the enemy, tracking for controllers becomes even slower. Also ADAD spamming is a fairly cheesy and an easy low skilled strategy to throw off their aim and makes controller players unable to track you or even hit you at a range where it should be fairly easy for them to do so with normal response time, but the slowdown works agains the controller player and makes it unreasonably hard to track.

@Ingeniekey No mate, everyone knows you cannot kill a controller player up close............note the above is sarcasm. 😀

@MandatoryIDtag Well I can see that most partners I get have no movement..just stand an shoot an never hip fire

@damsonwhufndthis 1) try to keep the encounter at a range where you have advantage.2) Unpredictable changes of direction and velocity, these make tracking hard for everyone.

I am about level 190, maybe about 200 kills total across the account. I play on PC (Steam) with a Controller because carpal tunnel.I can tell when I am fighting M&K players and just get destroyed.What pathetically little aim assist that Controller players get does not compare. You want to see some Aim Assist that matters, go play Destiny 2 Crucible, in particular with a Hand Cannon of any kind or the Dead Man's Tale exotic scout rifle.Now THAT's some aim assist. It helps even me hit, and I am terrible at FPS to begin with (still does nothing for my crap movement and inability to read the radar at the same time like everyone else in Crucible).Side note to people - When you have a Lifeline/Mirage on the team, help them help you by moving to cover before they try and drop a revive. Lifeline/Mirage players, when we ARE moving to cover, please wait to drop that revive. Help us help you. 🙂Thanks for coming to my SideTED Talk.

@hayhor We have aim bot so...u can't dance around that!

Limitation with controller settings enables unfair play

@iGRAPPLE83 to be fair it's probably a pretty solid strategy against a standard controller player. 😛
You rarely see much movement or any real signs of truly decent aim in players below p1.
Non rank playing players omitted of course....no real way of quantifying that.

@hayhorwould you say that sliding to the side really fast can outrun the controller crosshair?
or using anything that gives you high speed ex. stim, grapple?
or at least give them hard time fighting you?

@damsonwhufndthis Moving a lot erratically would definately give someone a hard time. But players that play with maxed out sensitivity that are good seem to be able to track a lot.

@iGRAPPLE83 I concur! One observation about my own movement, is that I expanded my typical movement quite a bit, to adapt to BR games. I have always been a jumper/strafer in FPS games (bumper jumper, yo!) When I first got into BR games (PUBG at first), I quickly learned that simply strafing was not enough. I started introducing a lot more non-linear movement to my game, and by the time Apex launched and I switched away from PUBG, I had already gotten quite a bit better with it.

Nowadays, with the superior movement on Apex (compared to other games I have personally played), I have DRASTICALLY increased the amount of movement. I rarely stand still at any point during a match (I refuse to be a Kraber statistic), and I am constantly moving/rotating and whatnot during battles. I use my surroundings constantly, whether it be a rock, a wall, a supply bin or whatever. Anything to get an advantage. I absolutely LOVE the movement in Apex, and it blows my mind when I see higher level players just walking in a straight line while shooting, and get destroyed.

TL;DR Be unpredictable!!
