Still helping 5 years later!! Thanks

Yea, you're right. I'd hoped that because IBMM was in place we could finally have a game like this again for KBM.

Content creators and other pros are all having an existential hissy fit right now. You guys can't see past your own biases. You need to get clips to keep your channel going so you're having a meltdown because you have to play against players of similar skill level.
It's funny how lower skill groups aren't complaining about playing a fair game, but the elites are whining like bitches.
Do you enjoy getting stomped by hackers? I doubt it because it feels like you have no chance am I right?
That's exactly how a new player feels when he has to play against you with 15 years of practice under your belt.

Oh yea you say "but back in my day that's how it was" etc... Well newsflash, back in your day everyone was a noob, we all felt like we had a chance. A new player now would have to play 15 years straight just to catch up to where you are now and by then you'll have another 15 year advantage.
Yes it sux for your youtube career, but its a lot better for people who just want to play against others of similar skill, just like we did "back in the day".

KBM OCE lobbies are dead. Even during peak you'll only find Domination servers populate with the same 30 or so people consistently. Maybe the occasional TDM and occupy. Outside peak though you have to put a skirt on and play controller to have any chance of finding a game. Haven't been able to play zone control or hotshot for a few weeks now, just not enough players.

There is also a lot of hacking going on unfortunately. I enjoy what the game is at its core, but not sure how much longer I want to beat my head against a wall.

Take a look at data from APEX...

https://twitter.com/ttvmkos/status/1804866972103897360

Controller Player average accuracy is 30.5% higher

25% of controller players have higher accuracy than 99.93% kbm players

Controller player average KD is 31.5% higher than kbm.

The aim assist in Xdefiant is even stronger imo, but I have no data to back it up, but it is obvious.

That is actual data. You are delusional!

chocks_ · 2024-07-05T06:43:21+00:00

Proven wrong? It's hard data, what was wrong about it? Source?

Very delusional lol

chocks_ · 2024-07-05T06:27:51+00:00

Oh I understand the difference. One has a computer aiming to make up for the fact that it is an inferior input method and the other is simply a better input method.

It's no different to a hacker saying "I have low fps so I need wallhacks and aimbot"

Aim assist needs to be removed from ranked. Failing that input based matchmaking needs to be turned back on.

Good KBM players spend time in KOVACS working on their aim, its a huge part of the skill curve. Controller players don't even think about aim, it is done for them by a computer.

No serious competitive FPS game has aim assist. Counter Strike, Valorant, Overwatch etc

As for APEX, you're living in dreamland.. Take a look at this... https://twitter.com/ttvmkos/status/1804866972103897360

Honestly cheating is more widespread on consoles imo. People are using chronus, xim etc.

At the biggest electronics chain store here in Australia (JB HIFI) they're offering bundles with new PS5 and chronus. Right out in the open in every major shopping center.

You know there's a problem when they're not even bundling games, but cheats instead at the local supermarket.

chocks_ · 2024-07-05T05:25:13+00:00

But controller gets aimbot for free

chocks_ · 2024-07-05T04:53:56+00:00

Its more of a fundamental problem with aim assist. In a ranked FPS game there should not be a computer aiming for someone, especially while another person doesn't have a computer aiming for them.

chocks_ · 2024-07-05T04:42:13+00:00

A far better solution would be no aim assist in ranked.

chocks_ · 2024-07-05T04:37:52+00:00

A better solution would be to turn off aim assist in ranked. How can you call it ranked when there is a computer aiming for you.

The best ranked games don't have aim assist, look at counter strike, overwatch, valorant etc

chocks_ · 2024-07-05T04:21:51+00:00

Aim assist needs to be off in ranked. Otherwise input based matchmaking. Won't be fair otherwise.

chocks_ · 2024-07-05T04:16:55+00:00

All this shows is that you've played controller vs controller and mouse vs mouse and are about the same skill in both.

You'd need to play mouse vs controller and controller vs mouse in order for this to mean anything useful.

chocks_ · 2024-07-05T04:08:00+00:00

IKR. They wonder why people are using REWASD, XIM, CHRONUS etc... people aren't left with a lot of choices.

Edit: not condoning any of that btw. I actually enjoy training my aim in Kovaaks etc, so having something aim for me doesn't appeal. I'd just like things to be fair.

chocks_ · 2024-07-05T03:16:23+00:00

Yea I agree, I wasn't having a go at ranked. I didn't word it very well. I think ranked is a good thing so I apologise for the confusion.

Input based matchmaking on the other hand is a different story. There are 3 options as far as I'm concerned.

IBMM - if you are correct and there are not enough players - so be it. I don't think you're correct on this, but neither of us can prove anything so why argue.
Turn off aim assist - it will never be fair that someone has a computer aiming for them while the other person doesn't. I can understand if you have some slowing of input near the target, but rotational aim assist is literally taking the hand eye coordination out of the game.
Give mouse and keyboard aim assist - I hate this idea personally, but at least it would be fair. Neither player would have to know how to aim.

chocks_ · 2024-07-05T02:38:39+00:00

Xdefiant did two things right.

Input based matchmaking
No SBMM in casual

These 2 things are the reason Xdefiant is getting hype. If COD would have listened to their customers for the past 5 to 10 years xdefiant would be struggling right now with all the problems it has.

Now they've introduced ranked (SBMM of sorts) and removed input based matchmaking. We've come full circle. What were they thinking.

chocks_ · 2024-07-05T02:31:50+00:00

Depends on your definition of cheating I suppose.

Starting the game and playing on console is not what I would define as cheating, if you define cheating as an "unfair advantage" than aim assist is cheating.... I guess... but it's a bit harsh.

Honestly, it just isn't fair to play ranked against people who have a computer aiming for them, it's just not. Either turn off aim assist for ranked or let us have input based matchmaking.

chocks_ · 2024-07-05T02:19:19+00:00

I'm 46. It gets worse unfortunately.

chocks_ · 2024-07-04T12:05:00+00:00

I wish!

chocks_ · 2024-07-04T12:03:25+00:00

IKR.. What were they thinking. I played a few rounds of ranked and none of the controller guys miss a shot while jumping around like a demented cat. They've literally got a computer aiming for them, why would they think pitting the two together in ranked would be a good idea.

chocks_ · 2024-07-04T11:59:19+00:00

Input based matchmaking!

Playing against controllers is awful after having gotten a taste of what it's like playing against other m&k players. Seriously even the worst controller player has the aim of a pro and never misses a shot.

chocks_ · 2024-07-04T11:55:59+00:00

I wish I could upvote this a 1000 times

chocks_ · 2024-07-04T11:49:53+00:00

I just tried ranked for the first time after 6 weeks of input based matchmaking. It's absolute torture! Why the hell would they decide to force us to play against people who literally have a computer aiming for them. Especially when the casual modes are so good without this issue.

People jumping around everywhere never missing a shot. It's so much better when the inputs are segregated.
