Is Aim Assist Cheating?

by devaccess



Playing on controller is absolutely broken in Fortnite right now.

And I’m not just talking “Ninja complaining about it on Twitter” broke. I mean more like aimbot broken.

Look, aim assist has been a fixture in FPS games for years now. But I’m here to tell you what it is and how it works.

And how it absolutely broke competitive Fortnite in half.

Do you think that aim assisted controllers and mouse & keyboards will EVER be able to co-exist in esports? What would you do to make it work?

Can people recommend other channels like score esports that cover gaming news and stories, but that don't steal small creators content?

Aim assist should not exist even in the slightest on any PC platform.

My favorite part about this is controller players had to deal with people abusing M&K on console forever in “competing games” and now it’s becoming a big deal when M&K are crying.

I think the aim assist is present to help bring in more new players. More like retain new players

Epic is very money oriented they would literally give kids aim bot if thats what it takes to get them to like the game.

I think aim assist is good except for esports, yeah your at a disadvantage but get over it you picked the less competitively viable tool, you can work hard and compete how you want or except it and change to M&K don’t bank off literally aim assist it’s in the name it assist you in a way you wouldn’t have had with M&K

No Keith, no. Controllers will NEVER be equal to M&K, not just on Fortnite but on every FPS game. If you want to compete with an FPS just pick up M&K and learn the game, controllers have and will always ruin every single game where they get paired with M&K especially if it's competitive play.

Aim Assist shouldn’t matter at a tournament because if you are a professional esports player, you should have the skills necessary to outplay someone with good aim by using positioning and tactics.

For anyone who is complaining about aim assist in casual Fortnite, just a reminder that GTA 5's aim assist is basically aim bot because it locks onto you and holds onto you for like 20sec, you can be going 300mph and you will still die from some asshole with a Combat MG MK2 using BST and aim assist, what I'm saying is its way more annoying than Fortnite

I played Rainbow Six for 4 years on console which does not have any aim assist in multiplayer at all. Also I don’t play Fortnite so take that for what you will. I am of the belief that aim assist does not belong in any competitive shooter. If you think MnK has advantages you should use it. If you think you are a good controller player that can compete at a high level then by all means do it.

They should have seperate leagues or get rid of aim assist as a whole

Aim assist for controllers killed the halo Mmc on steam games. The games themselves were good but ain't assist on controllers completely destroyed the online competitive culture of the games.

Playing MnK first time is so much easier than playing controller for the first time… just bc aiming with ur whole hand is so much more precise than with ur thumb. In Games like warzone mnk players have so many advantages. Most of the time its just an excuse for loosing against a (better) controller player. I agree that aim assist is op in fortnite but i think that is the only popular game where its op…
