    Yeah, I don’t doubt that. But it’s funny that the reason for it being preferred on console is that you don’t actually have to aim well lol. Making it, imo, a shitty shooter.

      oh, I’m talking about PC players using the controllers.

      some argue that the stupidly strong aim assist is a way to give the console players (since there’s PC/console crossplay) a chance against KB+M users who get to use some movement techniques that aren’t possible on a controller and that make it much more difficult to hit them, but tons of people started using controllers on PC just for the aim advantage, so it’s definitely been an overkill.

        Ohh, wow. Yeah that is crazy. I get that reasoning, but I would agree it’s overkill to go ahead and give the controller a leg up! The only shooter I ever could stand on a controller was Halo and that was after a lot of practice (and not having a choice, playing against friends on their xboxes). Still kinda hated it in the back of mind lol
