Just adding on my latest with this:
As I said before, the Aim Assist did little to nothing when in typical engagements where the player was close to you and strafing or anything. No actual help there.
However, when tracking players, the AA seemed to kick in, but actually made it so it added MORE RESISTANCE as you tried to move the crosshair to follow them, meaning you never actually can never quite get the crosshair on them. For example, enemy is moving left to right, if you try to track left to right, your aim is SLOWER than normal even if you are behind them
I've dropped my Aim Assist value from default (100) to 70 and that's where it finally started to feel like I could at least catch up, but in general it seems like aim assist is hurting more than helping. Heck I might even drop the value more. Almost as if it applies a speed modifier to your stick movement (slowing it down) rather than automatically pulling your aim towards the target as it moves.
So if anyone else is getting burned by Aim Assist, I suggest turning it off, or at least reducing the value a bunch.

On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
Summarize your bug Hit reg feels unresponsive at times. aim assist feels like it has more aim resistance then it helps.
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play your game
What happens when the bug occurs? Your cant track enemies, and end up wasting too many bullets trying.
What should be happening instead? You aim tracks on target like it did the previous June update.
Agree, I think they tried to increase aim assist but we got more aim resistance instead.
I also think that hit reg issues have resurfaced to where it feels like you're needing more bullets to get kills sometimes.
The aim just feels weird in this game. If you are on target with your first shots it feels like you can track and down people with ease.
If you just miss, it's next too impossible to get your aim back on target and track, you end up dumping a mag trying and die like a noob.
It sucks!!! I've found as soon as you miss don't even try to ADS and track, You have unscope, correct your aim on target and shoot again if you want your bullets to register.
