Hey what is going on guys, in this video today we're gonna be diving into what is probably
the most debated topic throughout the entire Fortnite community, aim assist.
Wanna start the equivalent of a virtual war between controller fortnite players and mouse
and keyboard fortnite players?
Just bring up aim assist, it's really that easy.
And to understand how heated these aim assist arguments can get from both sides, let me
share with you 2 tweets from pro players which pretty much highlights the extremes of both
view points.
Representing one side you have Ghost Kayuun saying "I really don't understand this debate
between controller players with aim assist vs PC players.
Like dude, they're playing the game using two plastic sticks.
If you're a good PC Player, you're going to hit your shots anyways.
And if you're not, go play some csgo, please."
And now the opposite from razzero, this tweet was in response to someone saying that since
mouse players aim with their entire arm, aim assist for controller players is fair game:
"I hate this excuse so much, literally whenever someone says that I gave up on his IQ already.
Imagine u make the decision to use a worse setup ( as they say, stick instead of mouse)
and justify use of an aimbot with that...."
So, that kinda showcases the very contentious nature of the aim assist debate as a whole.
And, at the end of the day, I don't really think you can truly summarize everything to
do with aim assist in just a 140 character tweet.
My hope is that this video will be a very open and fair discussion covering all things
aim assist, and it'll take a look at the arguments from both the PC and the console side of things.
So, without further ado let's get right into it.
Alright, so I want to make it very clear at the beginning here, that this video will not
be debating whether or not controller players should have aim assist.
As I say every time this is brought up, aim assist is 100% a necessity for all players
that play Fortnite with any kind of a controller.
Without aim assist it would almost be impossible to consistently hit shots no matter how great
your aim is.
And in the past when I've said that in my videos, I'll see some people bring up PUBG
or other games without aim assist and say things like "How are you gonna say nobody
will be able to hit shots on Fortnite without aim assist when plenty of controller players
do just fine on PUBG?"
What you need to realize is that the combat system in Fortnite is way different than all
of those other games.
With how good players have become at building, the majority of chances you get to deal damage
now comes and goes in a matter of split seconds.
Missing 1 or 2 AR shots is a huge deal, because as soon as you miss those shots, any half
decent enemy will throw a wall up immediately, and now they're safe.
In PUBG for example, there is no building.
If you get behind a guy it isn't a huge deal if you miss 1 or 2 shots because there's nothing
he can really do to protect himself.
And those split second damage opportunities are even more prevalent in close range shotgun
fights, which are basically the bread and butter of Fortnite engagements.
And also, if you take away aim assist there goes ANY chance whatsoever, that controller
players would ever be able to truly compete against mouse and keyboard players.
Even now, WITH aim assist, there's probably about 20 mouse and keyboard pro players for
every 1 controller pro player.
That's in large part due to the fact that there are so many advantages of playing with
a mouse and keyboard compared to playing with a controller.
Even in a world where controller players are totally separated from mouse and keyboard
players, I still wouldn't want aim assist removed.
And now, with Epic making it clear that every one will competing together in competitive
events no matter what equipment you play with, simply removing aim assist isn't even an option.
So, now that that's established, let's get into what the real aim assist debate should
be, is Fortnite aim assist for controller players too strong?
Now, I'll admit right off the bat here, that there are definitely certain very specific
situations where aim assist can be a little too strong.
I know most of you guys watching this are gonna be controller players, so you may think
that I'm kinda betraying you by saying that, but seriously, I think I can change your mind
with this one 8 second clip.
So yeah, that was a clip of aim assist literally being able to track and hit an enemy that
was totally covered by the in-game fog.
And, on top of that.
I'll be the first person to admit that a weapon like the deagle, is probably a tad bit overpowered
when used by a player who is really good at taking advantage of aim assist.
And yeah, it is true that Fortnite does have one of of the strongest levels of aim assist
of any shooter game out there.
However, I'm sure that a lot of you guys have probably seen other short 10-15 second clips
similar to the one I just showed, of people, and most of the time it's non-controller players,
trying to quote unquote expose the power of aim assist.
One example I remember specifically was a clip from a few weeks ago, of mongraal connecting
a controller and using it at the very end of a scrim game where he had high ground.
And he basically ended up lazering like 2-3 different enemies with it.
And a lot of people saw that and were like "oh yeah there you go, that's 100% proof that
aim assist is overpowered."
Like, really?
You're telling me that because maybe the most mechanically gifted gamer on the entire planet,
was able to get 2 kills with a controller, that settles it?
Like he doesn't do that same thing practically every single game with a mouse?
And, what a lot of non-controller players don't even realize is that taking advantage
of or "abusing" aim assist, is honestly a skill in itself.
If aim assist was as grossly overpowered as so many people think, then why is there such
a huge skill gap when it comes to aim on controller Fortnite.
Other than people asking me for my sensitivity/settings, the #1 most common video request I get, is
to make videos which contain tips on how to aim better.
I mean if you believe some of these people you see online, all I would have to do it
make a 10 second long video saying "spam LT while you're shooting", and then bam every
body who watched it would have nickmercs or aydan aim just like that.
No matter what aim assist haters say, you can't just press LT in the general direction
of a player and have your crosshair teleported onto them.
Aim assist will certainly help you when aiming down sights, but, for it to actually move
your crosshair onto an enemy, you need to be really close in the first place.
And a lot of PC players also don't realize that having aim assist does have a fair share
of negatives.
There are certain in-game situations where aim assist can do more harm than good.
Examples of this include aim assist locking on to vehicles, zombies, and items like the
mounted turret when you're instead trying to shoot enemy players.
Also, there are random places on the map, like certain windows inside of tilted, which
for whatever reason don't give you aim assist if you're shooting at someone through them.
And, another disadvantage of aim assist that I don't feel people give enough attention
to, is the fact that it makes it way harder for you to practice aim.
PC players have aim training programs like kovaaks, a wide variety of in-game aim training
courses, and even something as simple as just going into playground and practicing flick
shots on random objects will help.
Because of aim assist, pretty much none of those things are available to controller players.
To my knowledge there's no controller equivalent to Kovaaks, there are very few aim training
courses that are controller friendly because only 1 specific prop provides aim assist,
and because of the fact that no inanimate objects give off aim assist, flick shoting
trees or rocks will probably end up hurting you more than helping you.
Plus, the fact that every single shooter game on console has a different type/strength of
aim assist certainly doesn't help as well.
Now, I do want to make it clear that I understand where mouse and keyboard players that dislike
aim assist are coming from.
Some of those people go way too far and say some pretty stupid things, but, I've also
seen that happen from the controller side of things as well.
Does playing on Mouse and Keyboard undoubtedly give more of an advantage than playing on
controller, of course, but that's doesn't mean that it still doesn't take an unbelievable
amount of skill to use.
I've tried playing a game or 2 with a mouse and keyboard before and it made me look like
someone who was playing with my feet instead of my hands.
And, I'm sure that any mouse and keyboard player who tries to use a controller for the
first time in their life, would be the same way even if they had the most powerful aim
assist in the world.
This topic of aim assist isn't as simple as one side being totally right and one side
totally being wrong.
And, I'm interested to see how the whole aim assist debate continues to develop, because
aim assist abuse is still kinda a relatively new thing.
Although top controller players have been doing it for a while, it really became super
popular to the general public when Aydan showcased it at PAX West, and that was at the beginning
of September.
And the last thing I'll say is that if you're a mouse and keyboard player that thinks aim
assist is overpowered now, remember, it actually received a considerable a few months ago,
it used to be even stronger.
