So I tried a Controller for a few days
I've been trying out a controller for the better part of this past week to see if Aim Assist is really that strong, it is. One issue I had when playing against Console players is that they would sho...

@RaginSam Thanks for sharing your comparative views on it. PC players hear about these things with controllers but don’t take the time to try it out.
Were you playing with a controller on PC or were you on a console?

- @RaginSam It’s more interesting to me then that a PC can still have all the other graphical controls and the advantages of a controller. Seems like a big advantage?

Seems like a big advantage?Playing on 120hz monitor or higher is definitely a must for me at this point. I think that's even more important when using MnK. When using a Controller, you tend to aim a lot differently, less twitchy, so higher FPS isn't everything.
I only have my PC though, so I don't have a way to really compare Console unfortunately.
Now the true test would be for you to test this on console and determine if things are the same.
Not to argue, but, many console players have posted how little the snap, aim assist, etc actually affect their game. At best it is hit or miss that it works at all and can even be a hindrance in some cases.
Kudos for hooking up the controller to your pc, but it is only a partial experiment.

I would say that the Snap felt a little inconsistent at certain distances, but I'm also no pro with a controller. For aim assist to kick in, the game is looking for some sort of stick input. The Snap and Rotational assist are extremely strong when strafing a little bit while slightly adjusting the aim. So if a player isn't giving those extra inputs, the aim assist isn't going to feel nearly as strong. Most games work like this now days.
I don't think there's ANY difference with how assist works on Console compared to PC. If anything, typically assist is stronger on Console then PC. Like Apex for example had 0.4 assist on PC, while Console got 0.6. They changed that a while back now, but that's one example I know off hand.
