Re: Why is my aim so trash sometimes?
@EdwardDLuffy I'm gonna be "that guy" that's gonna have the unpopular opinion here.
I've spoken about similar stuff many times before and I suspect that it's being done to your account intentionally. EA has something called Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment (DDA) that they used in Fifa. No one said it's a feature in Apex but I have my doubts. Basically what it does is at any time the game can manipulate your gameplay by making small adjustments to your sensitivity settings, movement speed, input delay, accuracy, aim etc (while boosting those same things for your opponents if I remember correctly) to promote a certain outcome. Like a nerf or a buff basically which makes the game easier / harder for you. There is a full explanation of it on YouTube that I suggest you go watch. The goal is player retention. You are lead to think you suck at the game so you spend more time playing it with hopes to improve, almost like sbmm.
I spoke about something similar recently where I started to notice a pattern that when facing some enemies or in some matches I can feel my movement slowing down and it just seems like opponents have a distinct advantage over me when it comes to movement speed, reload speed, ttk, gun control etc. Likewise in some games everything feels super responsive and sharp, my aim is on point and we're just steamrolling through the lobby. So what changed from one game to the next? It's almost like it was pre decided who will win and who will lose to some extent. Blame it on servers, lag, connection or whatever but you don't just go from having near perfect aim with an R301 to missing every bullet game after game. I'm not buying it. You ever wake up one day and just forget how to drive? Stall the engine 5 times on your way to work and mess up your turns like a noob? Something you do daily, spent countless hours to master and has basically become second nature? Didn't think so. I've read many complaints about people having aim issues with the start of the this season and it's something I can relate to with previous seasons. One day you're lazering people across the map and the next it's like you need to learn recoil control from scratch again. Seems the tables are now turned for some. It doesn't add up.
