There is only one problem with that: some players have pretty much played on controller their whole life. They shouldn’t have to ban an input that certain professionals have been used to, they should just fix aim assist issues.

Nothing is going to happen to aim assist. But bread making a lot of sense here. Part of the reason why it’s so hard to detect cheater in COD is because there’s literally a soft aimbot built-in to the game. How is ricochet supposed to flag aimbot users?
Things that would be concrete proof of cheating in any other MnK shooter game would just happen regularly in a 1.5kd controller player’s gameplay.

While I hard agree, as my belief is that any and all FPS games are inherently better played on MnK for various reasons including the biggest being the human element, most controller players who have never touched any other FPS game or have not played any other FPS game at a high level will disagree.
Any good controller player should not mind and in fact should back a nerf to aim assist because it’ll create the biggest gap between a mid controller player that knows how to abuse the Rotational Mechanic and is lost without it (Think players that actively run away from the deadly smoke grenade), and someone at the higher level, CC’s and freaks that just send it towards you without a care when you popped a smoke.
Most people who use the “COD is a Controller Game” or complain about the (rightful) complaints about aim assist, throwing shade at MnK users are the same people that are held on by aim assist. Who probably stream to 3 people, two of those views being himself on different devices and one being his friend whose trying to be supportive but the streamer in question is not making it out the hood, trying to be ‘the next big COD streamer’
The solution to this entire AA issue is to just put everyone on the Precision Aim Assist preset and leave it there. No Dynamic shit, no Black Ops AA setting, no being able to tweak it. Either Precision Aim Assist, or off. That would fix the issue. You get the initial targeting accusation that controller players can’t really get but they have to track on their own.

This is such a tired take that not only will never happen, should never happen. COD is one of the largest selling games on console and has been for decades. Most people who become pro got their start on console, meaning controller. Switching the pro warzone scene to only MnK would be SUCH a gatekeeping move for thousands of people trying to go pro in a game they’re good at. Don’t punish the legit players because of cheaters, get better at putting blocks in to stop cheaters to begin with. Switching to MnK only is such a reactionary move when they need to be PROactive.

I got a controller a little over a month ago. I had been exclusively m+KB for about 12 years. My KD is on the rise like never before. I’m winning way more 1v1s and feel invincible at times. It’s pretty insane. I was a good KB player but not a god like Metaphor so I was always at a disadvantage. Now I feel like the fights are fair and if I’m losing it’s because of a mistake I made.

Agree

I’m a MNK player but I disagree. If we banned controller players from competitive modes, we wouldn’t have players. It’s a controller dominated game. Either aim assist needs to be nerfed or MNK needs some assist. I say we nerf AA cause it’s a damn skill game. AI shouldn’t be handicapping a player who can’t track.

Console players rely on aim assist and the movement mechanics utilised with a controller. We need it to give us a fighting chance against the actual PC hacking or Cronus users. The game was a shitfest of cheaters months ago. Not played it for ages due to this. Pity cuz there used to be so much fun to be had

I find this an interesting take considering the competitive scene of CoD has basically always been controller. This game is absolutely broken as hell in so many ways, but this MnK debate was reversed for decades until cross play was implemented and suddenly it flipped.

How hard is it really to detect third party programs influencing the game? A legit question.
therealshoky
can we just, nerf it a little bit? I want to have a chance against them, not remove them jeez.

If they just nerfed rotational aim assist it would be so much more fair and competitive, i dont mind controller players having a little slow down aim assist, but what they have now is legal aimbot, breadmans right its literally indistinguishable from real cheats. unfortunately they’ll never nerf aim assist because the majority of the player base are casuals on controller. I think the only realistic thing us Mnk players can hope for is input based matchmaking.

True. It’s called AIM ASSIST.
I’m a controller player and yeah he’s not wrong
