Please take note that as a console player, when I play with a pc friend, I don't get to pick which lobby I go to. The way they have it set up, forces me into your pc lobbies.
Imo they need a lobby for mixed teams, that way no one has to play with a platform they don't want to.
It might increase waiting times a bit, but I'm sure people would be happy to wait for a preferred lobby.
If not I'm sure they can implement a lobby timer that will start the match even if the lobby isn't full and the uncomplete team can either be requed or given the option to join the match anyway.

Aim-assist could be equal for controller users on console and PC but only as long as MnK users are separated. This would make crossplay much fairer. The only difference then (between controller users on console and controller users on PC) would be minimal hardware advantages that don't affect game play anything like as much as aim-assist does. It would open the game up and I think players would enjoy it more. Although queue times for MnK players might make it unworkable.

This is presumably why people believe aim-assist is lower on PC, where controller users on PC mix with MnK users on PC. So it makes sense to lower aim-assist to give MnK users a chance. I don't have any proof to back up the claim that aim-assist is 40% on PC and 60% on consoles. I read something about organised tournaments using 40% but again, I'm not sure.

In my opinion, controllers with aim-assist should not be in the same lobbies as MnK. I would hope that controller users on PC would then adopt MnK as their preferred control. But if they didn't then queue times for MnK would be bad, presumably.

It's all too late for this now anyway. This should have been in at release. It was possible to play based on aim-assist or no aim assist in GTA V. But in Apex the developers must have decided it wasn't suitable.

    Would lowering console AA to match pc really balance things out though?
    Though I don't really see what's so op about the current AA, I'd be willing to give it a try.

    @XxColdFangxX the problem isnt the console vs pc it is the 0.4 AA controller players on pc where MK players is 0.0000 AA. we can turn of crossplay but pc players with controller still play on the pc side of the crossplay

    @warslag I always assumed the difference in AA strength was because of FPS (Frames Per Second) as someone mentioned earlier. The more accurate an enemy's position is on your screen the easier it is to track, land, and predict your shots. I wouldn't know though since I'm not on PC and the difference may not feel noticeable.

    Console players that team up with a pc friend automatically get forced into pc lobbies. Otherwise the title of this topic would be different.
