So im a main pc player been playing none stop since launch
Decided too check the aim assist on console so I installed on my xbox one
WOW!
Consoles have a redicules advantage over pc players and if you have a XIM Christ! its even worse like big time
as a pc player I dont want console players in my lobbys its not like there a population problem Just remove cross play, Pc players have enough problems with actual cheaters without you giving consoles basically an aim bot and putting them in pc lobbies.
They just need to give pc players the option to opt out of cross play.
The fact they force it on pc players and then give console players aim assist is BS.
Especially considering its disabled in ranked for console players, which im sure its just a matter of time before that changes, when people become reliant on it, then get destroyed in ranked without it…
Mechanical skill, isnt something innate, its something you develop. By giving it to them i. Qp and arcade, it just hinders if not prevents the development of said skll
Blizzard is just setting console players up to fail in a way
It’s funny how we went from wanting this so badly in almost every video game to now hating it and wanting it removed from all the games we demanded to put it into.
Ironic really but I doubt Blizz will do this due to the fact that it helps inflate numbers and makes it seem the game has a more active community but hey you never know only time will tell?
It’s QP. If you want ‘integrity’ play comp (of skill tier differences of like 2000 within the same lobby, lol)
And it’s way easier to play both of those heroes on PC… not sure what your point is lol. Apparently ximmers who know what they are doing disable aim assist when abusing keyboard and mouse input vs console players.
Yesterday I had a widow snapping only headshots. At first I was wondering if it is a bot or something. Checking profile - console player. I was like “what?”
I played a ton of hours on console before switching to PC, I know how to make aim assist a powerful tool for hitscans by reducing the Window Size. That Widow was probably using XIM on top of that.
If you know what you’re doing you can make the reticle lock onto your target with minimal effort. The right aim assist settings paired with a XIM device… That’s just cancer. One of the reasons I moved to PC.
Aim assist SUCKS on any projectile hero though. Straight up garbage. But on hitscans? Easy to abuse.
In my case I don’t care about aim assist that much, I just wanna play with people from my own platform like I always have. Mixed lobbies are a mess.
