They should have disabled it from the matchmaking lol

Match me with M&K players and disable aim assist completely

I don't wanna deal with PC players using a controller dumb aim assist

If your device requires that you have an algorithm aim and cheat for you just to be able to compete on a level of people using M+K with actual skill and manual aim, maybe you should be put in your own special little kiddie pool separate from the rest or at the very least not be allowed to essentially cheat against people who aren't cheating.

Nobody respects auto-aim. It's not you doing it. It's not indicative of your skill. Just stop.

Huh is that why top players in every fps game are mnk? PC players blame their losses on aim assist more than lag against controller players. It is SO MUCH EASIER to aim on mnk. A million times easier. You should be banned from controller lobbies with ur ♥♥♥♥♥ mouse aim.

I think aim assist should be completely disabled for all multiplayer games and for any controller (mouse, joystick, etc).

Aim assist was nerfed because it was providing too much advantage to experienced controller players, and because of mouse players using Rewasd-style programs to abuse aim assist as basically an aimbot.

Based. Its discriminatory to people who don't use it.

If only they got rid of all aim assist on pc.

Aim assist is necessary for console players to close the mechanical gap
but the way it was before was actually bonkers

I think you're confusing every FPS game with Counter-Strike and Valorant. The majority of pros in games like this are on controller because the aim assist is broken. Halo has a single pro player on mouse. Apex Legends has pros that swapped over to controller because mouse is at a heavy disadvantage. CoD has a bunch of controller pros. Where are you getting this idea that mouse is advantageous at a high level in FPS games from?

They can still do that because the aim assist wasn't removed. They nerfed it down to Apex levels and aim snapping still exists. If people use reWASD in Apex Legends, why wouldn't they keep doing that here with a small workaround?

[Vanni]

imagine saying that it was difficult to play with a controller which had aim assist on it

Aim assist makes you better than people at the bottom of the skill curve. Aim assist will not make you better than people at the top of the skill curve. What percentage of MnK players aim assist will out-perform depends on the strength of the aim assist.

This isn't a difficult concept to understand, friendo.
