Remove Aim Assist from PC permanently
You must remove the Aim Assist from the PC version of Apex Legends.
(Disable it for Console players joining a PC server).
I'm talking about a complete and permanent removal, not just a nerf: 60%, 50%, 40%, now 30%, it changes absolutely nothing.
This software aim for assisted players has no place on PC.
Is it too much to ask that everyone be equal?
There will always be tons of players looking to gain an advantage by all means (240fps, low settings, macros & cheats), and the Aim Assist on PC is nothing less than a "cheat" served on a platter...
When the 4th best player in the world with 1700H of mouse/keyboard play suddenly decides to play with a controller, there is no longer any debate possible, it's all seen...
For my part, I've been destroyed for 500 hours by any beginner with a controller. Fun, isn't it?
I lose 95% of my duels, if I have the misfortune to be face to face against a controller player, I'm dead, period. Dodge, Jump, Slide, I haven't found any way to counter that Aimbot except to hide and flee the fight (not really the goal of the game)...
We get 225HP taken away in 0.25s without any effort on their part.
Impossible to compete with manual aiming against software assistance:
- With the mouse, you have to manage a huge random recoil, the slightest pixel off the target and you miss, hipfire is not even worth thinking about, added to that an inconsistent Netcode that only seems to count 1/4 of the shots...
- With the controller, I even wonder if they have recoil when I see their fixed sight like a laser, they shoot 1m next to their target and still hit (verified), and the software Aim Assist is probably not affected by the Netcode, everything is fine, don't change anything for them (sarcasm)...
It's not because we play with a mouse that we are gods...
30 years of experience on FPS and I'm the worst player?
On BF3/BF1 no Aim Assist and I often finish top 4 out of 32 in my team, coincidence?
On Overwatch no Aim Assist and I dominate the other players, coincidence?
On GTA 5, they had the intelligence to separate the assisted and the purists (not the cheaters unfortunately)
I don't expect to win but if I have to lose, I want it to be because the other player is better and not because some software aims for him...
I could choose to the easy way and grab the controller on my desk like 95% of players, but I won't...
On PC everyone has a keyboard and a mouse, that's the way to play FPS, those who want to play with a controller it's their problem, it should not become the problem of other players because of an authorized "cheat"...
Aim Assist -> Consoles
Raw Aiming -> PC
Don't mix.
I can't believe that the creators of Medal of Honor and Call of Duty could let such a stupid thing happen.
Apex is surely the best BR on the market, it's a waste to no longer be able to play it with a mouse and a keyboard.
Are you afraid of losing players by removing the Aim Assist? Fewer whales to spend 2000$ on an Heirloom?
On the contrary, it should create a buzz and bring players back to Apex (and make a lot of assisted Youtubers cry at the same time, I'd like to see that).
By the way, the "Guided Bullet" weapon charm, wouldn't that be a big finger to mouse/keyboard players by any chance?
In summary: Remove this Aim Assist permanently from the PC version. Make Apex Great Again!
Thanks.
