We're literally observing proof that the system is engaging and the alternative argument is "auto aim exists because game devs fear my elite skills" Lmao, yes, when i say that "pro's are swapping to it because it invalidates years of their experience with m+kb" i actually mean myself. I'm definitely a pro player.

It's time Overwatch went to a X-com style turn-based strategy. And also exclusively PvE.

Aim assist is less about pc vs console since its not like pros are turning on consoles to play. They're just hooking controllers up to pcs. Its just the preferred way to play games regardless of platform for a lot of people. Also aim assist is hilarious and i will never not find the griping about it amusing.

MJBuddy posted:I'm sure they're all just big loving idiots who don't do things like check retention models or survey feedback or play test. Yup everything they do is great except this one thing which you also conveniently hate. buddy you're the one asserting that the success of apex is because of aim assist as opposed to my assertion that apex is succeeding because it's got good fundamentals, generally fun gameplay, and it's a monthly content firehose. that top pros are dropping m+kb to pick up controller and are effecting the swap within just a few months is glaring evidence that the state of aim assist is majorly overtuned. no doubt controller players enjoy aim assist, no one is questioning that.

Tribes 3 brought to you by EA, with loadouts and armor classes replaced by Tribal Champion characters unlocked via premium currency and aggressive controller autoaim that leads airborne targets so you can consistently land mid-air spinfusor shots every time

Vermain posted:because they chose to implement randomized crits as their primary swing mechanic in combat instead, presumably to mitigate issues with aimbots and highly skilled players gaining a significant advantage I dunno, the random crits felt like they were added mostly so the weapons that can't headshot have a burst damage mechanic. The chance of a crit increases when you've been putting out damage so skilled players have an advantage, but it still feels like the fates decided to gently caress you over because the Soldier fresh out of spawn put a lucky crocket in you on the first shot. TF2 was still a way more chill game though, 12v12 means having one player loving around doesn't cripple the team like in 5v5 so it was way more comfortable to try out a different class or loadout. OW matchmaking means I can never really learn a new character without feeling like I'm ruining games by throwing because I'm no longer playing at the level my MMR expects on such small teams, and the game being balanced around the assumption of counter picking means sometimes I'm not allowed to practice because I'm being hard countered on top of being bad with the character.

the dev commentaries talk about the reasons behind random crits-they're there for at least a couple reasons. both helping to break up stalemates, and helping players go on sudden kill streaks for those "rare high moments" where you sometimes get to go on a rampage. dogstile posted:Unironically one of the best balanced sniper characters in any game.

it would be super cool if the variance of DPS in my games wasn't quite "automatic headshot widow" or "finds new and exciting ways to die immediately and often" and nothing in between

Every time that aimbot snapped from a low health dps to hog I truly understood the guys frustration. But also lol at them literally never grouping and trying to take a fight.

I don't know how the game does it. Today feels like some of the worst matchmaking I've seen all week or maybe month, and with high sodium levels too.

Just started the game for the first time in weeks to check if the queue times have changed and it's hilarious how the game claims that the queues are still <1min for every role. I'm sure the matchmaker will give you a great and well balanced match.
