I understand why target compensation is needed on pc. It helps against m&k. After messing around in the firing range today with target compensation off I began wondering why it's needed on consoles if everybody has a controller? Last week I was in pubs and landed with a predator. It turned out to be fierce battle but in the end me, a gold rank, beamed him and got hyped. But today I began wondering if TC wasn't in the game would I have won against him? Would he even be a predator because he leaned on it to rank up? I think removing it would reveal who is really good and who is trash. If you miss your shots you get punished. No more getting beamed by people just starting the game.

Just because they're gold doesnt mean they're new or dont have the skill. People that were diamond last season got demoted to gold, I am one of those people and Im still in gold because I havent play much ranked, besides new people can be great at the game.
I believe aim assist is there because console players only have their thumbs to control things, while PC have their whole hand, wrists and or arms for control so its compensating and balancing it out in a way.
Ive heard a lot of PC players that have played console too say the aim assist isnt even noticeable, its not that much of an assist.

@Blasian311Nope. That’s a stupid idea to remove aim assist on console. Have you noticed all the people who just get toxic after they get killed by a level 1 player and go chew that player out on messages. Even though I’m not a level 1 player (level 192 is my level) I still get chewed out because I was “cheating” that “I should’ve died” and that “I was camping” even though I was healing. I feel like people who are actually good at the game should show more respect to more “default” players.

@Sylvester9991And I feel like they should earn it instead of aim assist but he'll with the removal of aim assist even top ranking players might turn a bit sour. So don't just look at the low skilled players. This will effect everyone. There might be players like myself who are rank gold and below who may very well be good shots but get lasered by a player with aim assist who would be trash without it.

Because they won't be able to compete with good players if they removed it. Don't forget companys make a lot of money from casuals and a lot of them use aim assist so its really needed.

@Blasian311 I think you came to the wrong conclusion on why aim assist is needed. It can't exist on consoles to compensate against M/K since that isn't even allowed there and I doubt it exists to give weaker players a chance against stronger players. I'm guessing aim assist is there to compensate for the controller's natural flaws in a shooter. Precision aiming with thumb sticks is unreasonable.
My experience has been that snapping onto targets without aim assist is tougher but not that much. Staying on target is difficult and grows towards impossible the further your target is away from you. After you consider the way that players/characters move in this game it would be impossible for console players to move and shoot accurately. The end result would be more camping and sniping rather than any meaningful skillful fight.
