I had this discussion months ago. If the game uses aim assist, all the same problems COD has had, we'll have. And here we are. Controller users exploiting devices to make aim stickier. Mouse and keyboard players exploiting devices or software to make them act like controllers. It's all the same crap. And since everyone thinks someone else has an unfair advantage, whatever advantage they take, they'll not see it as cheating.
The software and devices have never been successfully mitigated before. What's the odds we will win the battle this time? I think the implementation in the game is the key to whether or not this problem will continue.
I think it is well established that good controller players beat good mouse and keyboard users every time, due to the advantage given to them by the game. Competitive players who switched from KB&M to controller would agree. In this age where anyone can choose whatever input device they prefer, regardless of the platform they play, and can gain skill over time, I think it is time to do away with assists that modify recoil or aim in the game, so it cannot be exploited the same.
