It's no wonder why most console players fear the mouse & keyboard. The aim assist extra strength on consoles has made everyone lazy. They would get demolished by even some of the worst mouse & keyboard users just from simple logic of not being slow. Also a PC controller user would destroy the highest ranked person on consoles as well.
On PC, a controller player has to learn some valuable tips & tricks to stay ingame. One, you can't loot for long. You need to get what you need and get out, You have to be fast. Because there is no native support for Apex Legends with mouse & keyboard, they haven't needed to learn this, they've been locked out from learning basic FPS skills.
You also have to understand that a major part of PC gaming is self aim. That means because most have to self aim with no assist, they make sure to watch out for other players. Simply not the case on consoles, they hear most of their fights and 3rd party, because they know that their aim assist master aim has their back.
Also I've noticed that because the aim assist is stronger on consoles, their aim is worse at long ranges. Ever notice that person on consoles that seems to have center mass aim lock, but then at range it's total *? That's what i'm talking about.
I feel aim assist needs to be adjusted on consoles to be equal as PC. That means it needs less levels. If someone was unaware, PCs have less aim assist than consoles.
A PC gamer that got killed by a console controller user, would report that player as a hacker. For example a Flatline on consoles will lock at the head of the target in most fights. It's by far one of the easiest weapons on consoles to use, just because it tracks so well.
I even have been testing the advanced menu system on consoles as my aim feels slower than PC does at the same settings. I maxed out both SES and ADS plus added max extra speeds, I still get aim assist with those settings. I think some changes need to be made to Apex Legends and controllers. It doesn't make anyone learn anything about aiming.
If anything, I would like a no aim assist server.
