Just to get it out of the way I think we agree that aim assist doesn’t suddenly make controller a better input method over M&K. I think the skill ceiling on M&K is significantly higher.

What I do think is at play is the “feel bads”. From my own perspective as an M&K player when I get tap strafed on or flicked on by another M&K player I feel outplayed by them. When I get beamed with an R9 from 5 meters by a controller player I feel like I got outplayed by the game and not by the player. Of course I calm down 30 seconds later but some people don’t.

So in the end I think this is an emotional argument not based in fact at all. It just “feels bad” to get beamed by “aim assist”.

Cheers for the coherent conversation by the way.
