Re: why is aim assist still a thing

The argument from roller players is normally that we kbm players have privilege in movement and looting freedom.  Which is bunk logic.  This is like saying the athlete with natural talent that busts his * to be good has too much privilege from his genes and we should somehow push him down or elevate all the others to be at his level.  This is nothing more than catering to the lowest common denominator to try and level the field.  Participation trophies for all.

This is the way of it.  It is unfortunate, but the majority of players are roller now (something like 92%+ of pros).  COD is the same way.  I am also a PC player that has been complaining about AA for a long time in these games.  This is just the way competitive gaming seems to be going these days.  Making everything more casual.  AA saves people from hours of practicing pixel perfect flicks with their mouse and sensitivity of choice.

    @SacrificialSloth This has nothing to do with competitive gaming feiend. Actually real competitive shooters like csgo valorant or even something like Quake stays far away from aimassist bs.

  • @matzesingt Maybe we are agreeing without saying it here.  I agree these current gen BR games seem to stray far away from anything fair and competitive.  Shooter games much like any multiplayer game is competitive at heart.  Even single player games can be competitive, but can still have that aspect tainted by cheating/assistance or otherwise unfair play.  This definition still fits Apex just like all those other games.  Some games just tend to cater and others do not.  Competing against others is the game, thus competition.
