There Should Be Non-Aim Assisted Lobbies
I continue to see an increasing argument that aim assistance and/ or its inclusion is fine, but that derives mostly from individuals that either A: use it personally and/ or B: Haven't used mouse & ...

Throughout human history people have mistakenly wanted segregation based on labels. This goes for race, gender and all kinds of other things.
I view this argument the same. Why should 1 input be considered the correct one to use? I get that people want to blame their deaths on something but how about the devs keep trying to balance all inputs so they are all competitive, rather than divide the community? All dividing the community will do is make queue times longer and lead to arguments about who is really better at the game because those players will no longer be playing against each other.
Hello, @hayhor thanks for commenting.
I am not suggesting that any one input is better than the other, just suggesting that mouse & keyboard players get a landscape to express themselves without interference. It takes time to get decent with a mouse & keyboard compared to a controller. The player that is learning might give up the mouse & keyboard if they see how others are using controllers.
Mouse & keyboard, mouse mat and have enough desk space compared to just picking up a controller plus having aim assistance is convincing to the average gamer.
Controller users can choose who they play against by choosing PC or console (someone would have to purchase a console to play controller only, but the option is still there). Mouse & keyboard users currently do not have this ability.
On the subject of letting the developers figure a way to allow both to coexist isn't so simple. The average controller gamer might find it quite stressful to use a controller without the use of aim assistance, so it's unrealistic that Respawn would choose to just totally disable its use. From the mouse & keyboard point of view, just lowering the level of aim assistance might not satisfy the average user/s.
In my mind, I think aim assistance works beyond what it should be, like on-screen effects and/ or objects like grass etc. So if Respawn were to curve these issues, it could help the two coexist. Like, allowing aim assistance to work through all Legends skills shouldn't happen. It doesn't on some, but it does on others. When a user can't physically see, aim assistance shouldn't as well.
