Ever since the timeframe of the halloween event my sensitivity, ADS and Hipfire, DRAMATICALLY reduces when in close quarter combat and it gets me killed almost every time. I used to win close quarter fights 7 maybe 8/10 times. It seems that everyone I fight does not have the same issue and friends that use the same sensitivity settings as me do not either. For me, as soon as someone gets mid range, my bullets barely register when I know for a fact that I am dead on target. Its just gets worse the closer I get to them. And once they they get really close my sensitivity drops unexpectedly and I cannot perform the movement I used to be able to do. My internet isn't the best, but it hasn't changed since I started playing Apex. I don't have issues like this on other games so I am assuming that it is something on respawns end.
The main thing here is that it wasn't always like this for me. It all started around the time Respawn started destroying their game with the likes of their terrible SBMM algorithm. The game just feels horrible It used to have nice fluid movement and was my favorite game of all time, but not anymore. It's not even fun now, as a video game should be IMO. That is why Apex took off the way it did, it had excellent mechanics, good graphics, and it was FUN. They took something beautiful that almost everybody loved and defiled it. I mean, the SBMM algorithm is garbage, Gibraltar is wayyyy too OP, guns that were once good are mediocre now. What is Respawn thinking? Do they even play their own game? Do they even listen to their player base and community?
There is still time for them to fix what they messed up with Season 4 but if they don't I am moving on to other games. 90% of the people I played apex with have stopped playing in the past few months because of the current state of the game, it's sad.

@o-DarkToLight-oLower sensitivity close range is part of aim assist if you play with a controller, hit registerring issues is part of the bad netcode/trashy servers, SBMM is the main cause of this as it tries to match you with ‘’skill’’ and dosnt seem to care what server you end up on... i havnt played apex too much decides to mess around and try to fix my graphics because i totally messed them up I think the gammas out of whack... on full screen the game is so bright and looks like sharpness is all the way up and looks terrible.... but on borderred windowed it looks almost right but still alittle off and apex dosnt seem to have many settings to fix this other than the video config file
