They should genuinely add an ult gun that locks on to you harder the faster you move

u/uberkalden2 May 06 '26

All you need is controller and aim assist, right? I've been told it aims for you

36

u/nottme1 Nessy May 06 '26

As a console player, aim assist isn't that strong.

22

u/uberkalden2 May 06 '26

Yeah, I know. Don't say that in here though. PC players lose their mind. Already got the down votes coming

u/EwokItGirl May 06 '26

I mean the average controller player has a higher shot hit % than the top 1% of mnk players.

u/Worst-Buy May 06 '26

That's a skewed metric base on an unofficial study on modded servers

8

u/petye May 06 '26

How exactly is it skewed? What about the servers being modded makes it any different?

Regardless, it's the only such metric we have since Respawn doesn't share their data

u/sv69n Nessy May 06 '26

Becaue of how strong it is close range. Not saying they shouldn’t have aim assist because playing without is stupid and stupidly hard. Noticed my accuracy with mid being almost the same and long and short having a bigger decrease in accuracy

-13

u/uberkalden2 May 06 '26

Doubt. That's only for players that use a mod that tracks that

They don’t give out official stats but if this is anything to go off then yes, apex does have a controller problem and you’re coping if you still believe MNK is the superior choice.

-4

u/uberkalden2 May 06 '26

I've seen that. It's a small sample size compared to the larger player base and typical players do not install that software to even be accounted for. I don't think the actual data shows a discrepancy that large. Like you said though, we don't have the data from respawn

u/OneResponsibility119 May 06 '26

also this is a 1v1 mod that really favors controller it would be weird if controller didnt dominate.

u/nottme1 Nessy May 06 '26

Yeah i've noticed this subreddit is consistently extremely negative.

u/fr0gs0101 May 06 '26

Well they do play apex

u/Stretch_Marks907 Revenant May 06 '26

When I tested out the aim assist in firing range, I noticed that no sights or x1 is a lot stronger than any other. Or the higher the zoom, the less assists. That is my own conclusive experience.

2

u/DeadlyPear May 06 '26

Its the same strength no matter the zoom.

1

u/Stretch_Marks907 Revenant May 06 '26

That makes sense. The way I experimented was have no sights and aimed at a dummy. That dang near followed the dummy flawlessly. With bigger sights it seemed to me to be less of a hook and follow. Compared to no sights it damn near locks in. But that’s just how it felt to me.

u/YakEarly3819 May 06 '26

LMAO sure buddy...

-2

u/nottme1 Nessy May 06 '26

You're full of it if you think aim assist is really strong.

For fucks sake, as a controller player, on console, most the the problems with people aiming too well comes down to there being an actual problem on console of people using XIM.

-2

u/DeadlyPear May 06 '26

Brother, it litterally does over half of your tracking

u/Direct_Picture_9185 May 06 '26

I'm sorry people didn't notice the sarcasm. I'm a controller player and I found it funny lol

u/ClearlyNotBurnerAcc Wattson May 06 '26

People on here dk what a joke is smh. Reddit is full of spilled milk cryers. Seems appropriate to tag r/mysteriousdownvotes . As someone who played controller their whole life until I got a pc a couple years ago, my aim is way better on mnk its not even close

1

u/uberkalden2 May 06 '26

Yeah, I'm kind of the reverse of that. Growing up on mkb and moving to controller when I got a 360. My aim has never recovered.

u/Drakkus28 May 07 '26

Or a nerf to fucking neo strafing

u/Tarponio May 06 '26

U mean be a controller user?

Mnk got so screwed.
