My aim between last and this season has been night and day… first, framedrops have again increased on ps5 and stutters are still an issue they haven’t fixed yet. besides that, something with aim assist or curves feel very off. It feels like my aim is getting pulled away from the target, really weird. every other season, there is something that makes me having to adjust all my settings again and again and this season I haven’t found any comfortable solution yet. Or is if just bugged? It’s honestly quite frustrating to have to fiddle with the settings all the time because they change or add something without mentioning it in the patch notes.
Things definitely feel a little weird, but I don’t think they made notable changes to the aim assist or sensitivity curves.
What I think is happening is that they made changes to the netcode or server behavior that have been detrimental.
Even in earlier seasons, in games with worse connections it was entirely possible for aim assist’s behavior to look/feel desynchronized from apparent player positions. I think this situation has become more common, and most of the weird feel on aiming stems from it.
I can’t rule out that they didn’t make more subtle changes, but barring connectivity or framerate issues, I don’t believe I’ve seen changes to the general behavior of aim assist.
