I'm not sure if you're controller player but I agree with the seperation of queus, The way i see it is if even the best pro player's who are insane on MnK made the switch to controller because it's "busted" then why would I try and get better at the game when I'm getting out performed by a different input system. I'm for sure not saying controller takes no skill, I'm saying it's discouraging when you get one clipped in rookie from someone on console. It's not a "i got outplayed" moment. It's simply, oh okay he held down L1 and the controller tracked me, this get's even worse with the Cronus Zen as well as other controller mods that are basically just cheats at that point, along with the actual cheaters in the game. It just doesn't feel good. I'm by no means great at the game, I peaked diamond in the very early seasons, but the motivation is lost when 90% of the playerbase now uses controller including the pro scene, I don't feel like the target audience anymore, and that's fine. I'll just choose not to play. Not saying MnK player's can't beat controller player's just saying the time invested it would take me to out perform someone comfortable on a controller with MnK aim just isn't worth my time investment. I'm not trying to flame controller player's I just want a even playing field.
With those stats now in the wild, Respawn has a quite huge Problem explaining why they haven nerfed Aim Assist long time ago (arent they huge on Competitive Integrity ?!? Sry i had to bring that joke) and why it will take them years!!!! to fix the problem when they already have a cheap and working solution at hand since 15 Seasons and other Games also already using it.
But they rather watch the Steam numbers decline, guess until no MnK Player will ever touch a Respawn title again. Mission accomplished !

- 1 year ago@r1ggedgame Amen brother! Don't forget about Cronus Zen and all the other modded controllers out there that essentially give you aim hacks! But that's ok! :D
- Rye-Sco1 year agoSeasoned Adventurer@saMuxTV But but but MnK players all have God like movement like Faide so that evens it out lol.
I would like to see it go back to the way it used to be for MnK players.
Remember Crossplay? when we would occasionally come across a controller player..
To me if you want to plug a controller into a Pc then go play with other controller players on console simple.

@r1ggedgameI mean it was obvious, everyone that is honest knows that aimassist is overtuned. Any controllerplayer that keeps pretending it doesn’t do that much and blablabla is just delusional.
Will ea do something ? No they won’t if they are lucky they have about 20% of their mnk playerbase left…the rest went to other shooters, they won’t anger their controllerplayerbase. - reconzero1 year agoSeasoned Ace@r1ggedgame
They haven't nerfed aim assist yet because they're trying to figure out a way to change it that doesn't screw over normal console players just so they can get a fix for the 2% of streamers and pros that have figured out how to produce the above data. I guarantee you that none of those blue dots is a platinum tier xbox guy. By definition. Those are all PC players. Those are all very, very good PC players who found a way to exploit a system that was (and still is) balanced for average Joes. Not saying there isn't a problem. Just saying that it's a) a PC problem, and b) a pro problem. Neither group of which I belong to and neither one do I care about. And if Respawn has to take my already inadequate gunplay experience and make it even worse just so a handful of mnk players can stop blaming aa for their failures and start blaming cheaters... well, if you think there's been an exodus from this game so far then just hold on to your hat.- 1 year ago@reconzero So to make it clear your response is, either let us use an overturned aimasist or i leave ?

My response is: I hope Respawn can figure out a way to determine the input device of a pc player and adjust aa accordingly, without impacting console players. Ideally I'd like them to segregate the lobbies again. I spent half my morning quitting matches because I'd get to the final four and I'm scoped in on players who are running movement macros so they can shoot without having to stop running, jumping, sliding, skidding, and pretty much doing summersaults without ever hitting the ground. They never ever stop moving, and it would be one thing if it was just strafing with the occasional crouch slide, but that was NOT what was going on. It was more than one player macroing every single motion mechanic the game has to offer. I get that cheating is a different issue than merely mastering motion mechanics, but if we're going to talk about how an input makes things unfair then we have to talk about mnk motion as much as we have to talk about controller aa. At least until the lobbies get separated. Which will be never.

I dont care a bout a nerf, roller players can aim assist against other roller players as much as they want.
All we wanted are Input based lobbies, its literally the same as Console Players got from the Start of Crossplay, an OptOut Button ... no nerf needed , can be applied in the matter of minutes ... not years !
Something that would have prevented MnK Players leaving the game for good.
But they dont seem to care, hence numbers decline.
Quite some of my buddies wont touch a Respawn Shooter ever again, the company is literally dead to them.
