Please ban modded strike packs
Lately Apex has been nothing but infuriating for me to play. Doesnt matter the mode, im constantly running into controller players with near perfect aim and the game knowledge of a toddler. Now, i know for a fact i suck. I will be the first to admit it. I play with mnk on pc. Im low plat, hard stuck and its where i deserve to be. I know when im bested and just cant compete with someone because im just not on that level yet. Ive noticed a VERY SHARP rise in very low level controller players this past couple weeks though that just absolutely scrub the floor with me. Im talking level 38, bronze wraiths with little to no movement tactics. Upon watching them loot my corpse theyre completely still and take forever to loot. In battles they stand almost completely still and never take cover, only relying on their "aiming" to win the battle for them.
Its been CONSTANT these past couple weeks though. Almost every game im killed by what SEEMS to be a smurf but im almost certain its someone using one of these "Strike packs". Theyre usually used for adding rear paddles to normal controllers so you dont HAVE to buy the "elite controllers" for hundreds of dollars, which is harmless in itself.
HOWEVER. These strike packs come with built in mods that give the players that use them a very unfair advantage over most honest players. Recoil control and stronger aim assist are the ones i feel ive been running into lately because it seems like theyre "just good with controller" but their game knowledge and awareness tell me otherwise.
Ive noticed console players squading up with at least one pc player on ranked pc servers lately and i cant help but feel these strike packs are the reason why theyre playing pc servers. Its undetectable by software (currently) and is hard to detect by watching them after they kill you because, again, it looks like theyre "just good with controller." but their gameplay shows that theyre not as good as their aim says.
Usually i dont get too upset when losing. We all have those days where its just not your day in a certain game. Its been like that for the past two weeks for me. I play almost everyday, do warm ups and play with friends all the time. Im alright at aiming and movement in this game, about plat level. Im not the best but i know im alright at aiming. These controller players though make me feel like i have no chance. Usually im one clipped by someone i hardly had time to react to or theyre hitting me with every shot from distances i cant even see them at and its making the game extremely not fun for me to play.
Please, for the love of god Respawn, find a way to detect and ban players using mods on strike packs. Apex has been one of the only games i reliably fall back on when im bored of everything else and its sad to say that apex is getting boring now.
