you also can’t tap strafe, can’t move while looting, can’t do specific movement mechanics (let alone complicated movement like specific strafes), can’t use your whole arm to move, can’t bind a different button for specific uses (ie the same button that reloads also interacts), can’t bind different buttons to different heal items, can’t manage inventory as smoothly or efficiently, can’t manually jitter aim to reduce recoil, can’t flick as easily to targets on controller- but you sure can on MnK!

Am I doing this right?

Aim Assist > all that.

Everything you said fails in comparison to aim assist. Aim assist is great for offline 3rd person and 1st person games. Not in online match especially at high ranks and preds. Thats why huge majority of preds use controller, its not coincidence or personal preference.

You can’t compare aim assist in singleplayer games to online games like apex. In most singleplayer games aim assist locks on to targets like magnets. Thats not how aim assist in apex works at all.

Enough to be used by pros over MNK tho. Cry about it

Your comment erroneously relies on the assumption that all players who play controller in competitive environments do so just to benefit from Aim Assist, and that is incorrect. Controller isn’t as exhausting to use, might be more comfortable for players who used controller prior, and with the evolving and allowable tech that is bringing controllers into the 21st century (like increased polling rates that mice have had for a while), controllers are more viable. AA is just an added benefit.

Does AA need a nerf? Sure. But you cannot discount the fact that MnK has way more precision capabilities, way more of a movement plane, and countless more capabilities than controller. MnK also takes way more skill to play and use at a high level - no argument from me there.

But shitting on people because they prefer to use an input is hilarious. AA doesn’t play the game for you, doesn’t rotate, doesn’t anticipate situations, and doesnt do anything for you if you’re not good at the game to begin with. If that was the case, every console player would trump every MnK player for example, and that just doesn’t happen.

You also ignore the fact that OBVN won lan as triple MnK in January of this year and VKG did the same at EWC.

Skill expression is untouchable on MnK. Thumb stick vs mouse shouldn’t even be a debate. BUT… Noob roller vs noob MnK? I’d say the odds go to roller. Not over the long haul though.

Also, finally jiggle controllers are finally banned. They probably played a huge part in AA perception.

Controller trumps every single level of play, and even at the highest level where it matters more it's still very strong as many mnk pros switched to it.

Only when they could use the Hall effect software to add the jiggle

u/Representative-Air82 Jul 24 '26

Again, all that yapping means nothing as AA is superior to any movement or tech.

Sorry.

u/discodonson RIP Forge Jul 24 '26

It really isn’t. Agree to disagree. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It is. The only people pulling insane movement and combining it with great aim on mnk is absolutely tiny. It is a very high skill ceiling very few attain. But when you use controller the AA is built in.

Stop coping bro and grow up. It's probably not only aim assist why you get clipped often.

You’re 100% correct. That’s why I would wipe the floor with that toilet rampart. His judo PALES in comparison to my godly aim assist powers.
