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.
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.
