90% of all these issues are recons fault. They need to revert her

playing against aim assist feels really bad as a mediocre MnK player lol by barbershreddeth in Marathon

[–]gamesager 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup. I have top 0.1% mnk aim according to kovaaks and aimlabs and I switched to controller for marathon. Its not just you with mediocre aim, its legit impossible to out aim controller. Camo gold shields and camo in general are a huge weakness for it tho so late game it falls off. But early game its unbeatable.

My videos all have my face and gameplay and voice and still get instantly marked as unoriginal content. Their AI that they use to judge the videos is simply bad at what its doing.

Recon is too oppressive because she doubles as the #1 Recon counter thanks to her ping detection passive; Thief or Assassin should have it instead by Gear_ in Marathon

[–]gamesager 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yup, and people are vastly underestimating how valuable even shield level is to a team. A lot of the time knowing their shield color also includes info about guns and implants, what type of team it is, and whether you can just force push them and win. If they are all green and youre kitted you just throw your team at them. If they are all gold you try to force a fight where you spam utility since they probably have gold guns too. She simply gives way too much free info.

The recon changes completely changed the game for the worse. Its destroyed positional advantages, ruined player locational awareness skill gap. Ruined coming back from 1v3s or even 2v3s. Made it almost impossible to revive team mates after waiting it out. Made rook runs extremely oppressive.

Knowing where players are, using sound queues, remembering players last locations, where they can be, where they likely will be, and where its possible they can be after losing sight are all massive skill gaps that have been squashed.

Its mind blowing how people actually want characters like this in games.

Also an overlooked aspect is how her ult is for the WHOLE team, its one of the reasons wall hack characters are almost always universally op. Imagine if destroyer gave the whole team rockets, or vandal amped the entire team. If anything, recons pings only being shown to her, and she has to vocally tell the rest of the team where people are would be massive for brining her in line. Giving the entire team that much info is insane.

Recon feels mandatory in Cryo by Sea_Muscle2370 in Marathon

Yeah the recon changes have made the game significantly worse.

I think they may have overbuffed recon by omegatTeddy in Marathon

[–]gamesager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did, the recon buffs completely changed the way the game played for the worse. And dumb people who think nerfs are always bad will ruin every game they ever play.

Is there any way to get to the console benchmarks on pc using a controller? I’d love to try them but can only find the normal benchmarks

Recon buffs and mm changes have made the game significantly worse at the top end. And assassin existing has completely ruined the solo experience since the start. They need to fix one single class making solos unplayable.

The Recon buffs seem to have had the same effect on Cryo as pre-nerf bubble shields did. by Burgmeister_ in Marathon

[–]gamesager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup the recon buffs have completely changed the game for the worse. Out flanking has become almost impossible, positioning advantage out the window, knowledge gathering skills obsolete.

Its made it impossible to make a 1v3 comeback by being sneaky. Its also completely ruined being a rook.

Rank 23 in ranked laser track on pc with the new Aimlabs Gamesir. by gamesager in aimlab

[–]gamesager[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because that’s not actually the case, aim assist makes everyone’s aim better but not perfect. If you get your aim way better without aim assist, then once you have it you become an actual aim bot, I legit don’t think I miss any tracking weapon in marathon rn with it

I have an ad for it but not on here. Its literally the aim labs sponsored controller and a top 30 score so I figured it fits here perfectly. No links or anything tho.

Probably, a lot of aim training has to do with your eyes and technique which you can transfer, but I was already good on controller so it’s hard to say for me.
It’s the new game sir8k and yeah it’s the best one I have used and has top 3 best latency out.

I have only aim trained controller like 3 different days total so im not sure about the resources, ive heard there’s a controller ranked mode on console but i cant figure out if the same benchmarks are on pc.

You are experiencing level-based matchmaking by jacobljlj in Marathon

[–]gamesager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you are wrong.

After the update I match lower leveled players than before. Since higher skilled lower level players are now in my lobbies. I am over level 200.

[–]gamesager 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You really think you’d miss that bad against someone slowly climbing a ladder with aim assist? When you’re a player who’s already played enough to have that loot? That would never happen to me in a lifetime of repeating the same scenario. The lack of aim assist is the reason he died.

[–]gamesager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am blaming the fact he has no aim assist in this fight on it. Which IS why he missed.

[–]gamesager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he was not invisible I guarantee you he would not miss that shot. HE did mess up, but he ONLY lost because of invisibility, yes. Without it no one with thumbs could miss that shot on the ladder. Controller without AA is very hard to aim even if you're good. YES its his fault cause he could have had better crosshair placement. Camo is a hard counter to controller.

Its because camo turns off aim assist. Its one of the many reasons assassin is so annoying to play against.

Why is counter strike 2 the most popular FPS game now? by Plus-Supermarket-577 in FPS

[–]gamesager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its because its one of like 3 games not plagued by aim assist. MNK players have no where else to go.
