xQc roasted aim assist and controller players after losing a game in an Apex Legend Invitational to controller player TSM Daltoosh.
The aim assist in esports debate is back, and this time it’s xQc ripping the controller players after going up against them in Apex Legends, calling the aim assist “kinda lame” and saying controller players basically only play half the game. Saying aim assist reacts faster than a human can, and it starts tracking with superhuman speed, xQc said controller players are just letting the PC do half their job.
This led to a heated back and forth between xQc’s Twitch chat, with controller players saying aim assist was grossly overblown, and that keyboard and mouse players still had the advantage over controller. And while a few predator players like Nickmercs are on controller, and even a few pros in Apex Legends, the vast majority of top tier Apex is played on Keyboard and Mouse.
So is xQc right, and aim assist is just letting a computer do half the work and should be removed from competitive games and esports, or is this just more overblown hype, and aim assist is the only way controller players like Nickmercs or Daltoosh can even come close to competing? Let us know what you think in the comments.

god forbid the streamer dies because he sucks lol
XQC explains it so well and his analogy was pretty accurate. There is nothing better than that feeling of hitting your shots raw (no aim-assist), pun intended haha. Cross-play should only be meant for casual play because it can never be balanced.
Ifcontrolers were really as op as some say then every single pro player would use them, bar none. The idea that a pro wouldn't use something that gave them a competitive edge seems silly.
controller players wouldnt survive without aim assist.
Why do pros over various games switch to controller over KB/M? Why are no pros switching from controller to KB/M? Why is 90% of the pros on controller? Why are there only about 5 out of the top 100 warzone earners on KB/M? Hmmm….doesn't take a rocket scientist.
all the malding console andies defending aim assist. R6 SIEGE console players DONT HAVE AIM ASSIST and they dont whine but play really fucking good. take example from them. also they dont push CROSSPLAY with pc like you all no brains. get a reality check, play on your plastic shit some casual games and stop defending aim assist to compete with pc players and have easier gameplay against your own playerbase. and yes these days pc + controller is an easy route to have advantage. every pro cod/halo/warzone player does this bcuz aim assist with high fov is fucking nuts
I don't play Apex but Aim Assist in CoD Vanguard is ridiculous. It pulls your aim so hard.
100% pc players and console players need to be separated. Even though there is people out there using Cronus with mak and have aim assist.
We should roast xqcs recoils with the r301 to be an apex """""pro"""" he is just fucking trash
I'm sorry, But X is a little late on this one lol Apex aim assist is literally old news
Its really fascinating that this discussion is being carried out for years !!!! it is simple … aim assist is not there to give you advantage over mouse and keyboard … aim assist is there to complete the balance between controller players and mouse and keyboard players … now why ? here is the reason .. when you are on mouse and keyboard you have your entire arm for aiming and movement … incredibly accurate and fast to get used to … on the other hand controller players have only their thumb and a limited size joy stick to control, aim and move … if you wanna see the difference try using your controller on desktop, not gaming, regular computer related task on your pc … it will take you 10X longer than doing it with mouse … that is why aim assist is there to fill the gaps for aiming with only a thumb .. now aim assist does not aim for you .. if you think thats the case you are either a cheater with aim bot or you have not held a controller in your life before .. aim assist slows down your aim when ever your line of target collides with non-friendly game assets (AKA enemies), why it slows down a little bit ? its because when you are using only a thumb you can easily slide past the target, the slow down process makes it so you can stay on target with some practice.
Hes right yall. Aim Assist is supposed to help you get NEAR your target, not MOVE TO your target and slow movement over target so you can have an easier shot. Today's aim assist is basically aim lock. Everyone talks about how KBM get such a huge area to move to aim at targets, but a thumb stick movement can be adjusted to span across an area faster as well (How do you think players like ZLaner, Ayden, Swagg, etc etc. make those insane clips of them torching squads by themselves). The aim assist in these games today needs to be dialed back, or there needs to be some fixes done for KBM, because while controller people are getting the benefit of the game hovering over targets for them so they can quick scope or quick fire on targets, KBM has to do twice or three times the work just to get a shot fired at a target.
This video is pointless
Bitch about aim assist, if it’s so bad to go against then swap to a fucking controller. It’s such a shit argument, controllers are outright harder to play a fps game with that is why aim assist is on controllers. Mnk doesn’t have it because it is easier moving a mouse precisely on a 2D plane when you’re using your entire arm when controller is on a 3D plane using your thumbs. If it makes people so upset swap inputs and try it out.
Aim assist is Cheating, SAME Level. Same thing.
I don’t fully disagree, but in apex AA is definitely not as op as xqc says
"Controller players don't have to work as hard"
I can guarrantee you, a mouse and keyboard will always dominate a controller with aim assist no matter the circumstances. That's why console online shooters that can take mouse and keyboard have been a major problem.
Aim assit works for the first 0.5 seconds, it locks depending on the game and then the rest is on you to predict.
Something else that xqc misses is that 96% of the people playing, are playing casually and often play few hours a day. Most people have jobs that requires them to sometimes not touch videogame for weeks.
Esports is a different story but don't demand the general game to be changed and tailored around pro players. It is extremely unhealthy for the actual player base and one of the causes why games become dead fast.
That thumbnail though. xD
not my fault ur shit input cant compete without cheats lul
If you use a controller, you gotta know that if you consider yourself good using Aim assist. You are not as good as you think. You are taking out the tracking , which is way harder to do consistently on mouse. There is nothing wrong with this. I know that K&M players react this way when controller players are saying they are better. Well you are using an automatic car on the race, you have the advantage against Manual drivers
get good aim assist was invented because of console peasant !!
How about let's just remove aim assist entirely? Isn't competition about raw skill?
i play console i never knew aim assist existe console. dont care pro players say about console like i say you want play console play console, you want play computer play computer.that all
XQC actually puts it in a good way for everybody to kind of understand(not as bad as he was saying but he wasn't wrong either). When you have aim assist the game really is following the enemy w/o user input(just a bit but enough to be noticeable). Then you have the added problem the guy in the call mentioned "smokes" it will drag a pit when you hover in the smoke essentially letting you know where someone is w/o you being able to see them (in a way nerfed walling). Not to say controller players are shit in fact the opposite some controller players are insane w/o aim assist. they just need to remove aim assist and controller players will be even better for it and nobody could ever argue that the player didn't actually hit the shots when they certainly have the skill for it.
I play both controller and kbm on apex with PC as my platform. Controllers allow me to win more 1v1's because I can abuse the AA that it offers.
I'm convinced this argument is for content purposes rather than it being a real issue.
Controllers need aim-assist because they are inferior when it comes to aiming/tracking. The benefits that aim-assist gives a controller player, a KBM player has to make up for that benefit in raw skill. Therefore, KBM takes more skill than controller.
Mouse and Key players have so much more range of movement and movement is like 90% of these FPS games. I don't even notice aim assist and I've been playing since the 80's, had my hands on the majority of FPS games and have never felt any aim assist at all! Mouse and Key players are just spoiled and sour when they lose. Tell you what, M and K players, play on controller and tell us about the aim assist. If your right you should be much better on controller right! I doubt it! I have yet to see a M and K player actually use aim assist on controller. If the computer is doing half the controller work than the mouse and key are doing like 75% of the work for you. Stop crying
If you’re losing to someone using their thumbs while you’re using your WHOLE ARM ur just bad.I played Mnk once and made it to pred in 3 matches.it’s so EASY I didn’t even fire my gun, I just armor swapped and tap strafed people to death.
Haha I love it when pc players cry like this its so funny makes my day
brah this channel is so fucking dry,they cling to the tiniest crumb of ''drama'' they can find,this shit is pathetic man.L channel+no content+this shit needs to rise before it falls off
If you put in hundreds of hours all day on these games and you cant beat a construction 12 hour a day worker thats at like 3 sensitivity and a bit of aim assist you should be ashamed
It's crazy how I instantly know when i get killed by a controller player just by the way they move and their cluelessness but they can 1 clip you if you get within 10 ft. If you haven't played both at a decently high level you have no reason to talk on the topic. High level players know aim assist is broken.
Halo ranked has options to play controller only ranked kbm only ranked or cross play ranked which is think is the best of both worlds it allows everyone to be happy wanna play ranked with Xbox friends on a pc then play cross play hate aim assist then only play in ranked kbm if you hate kbm for some reason then only play with controllers also you can use a kbm on a Xbox but nobody does that really but I think it’s best to make the modes peripheral specific and not based on being on pc or console
That was a horrible take as it was said during the tournament. Most of the gunfight was long-mid range small fights. And when they did push it was mostly shotguns. I don't understand
if you watch xqc plays apex. spoiler alert, hes dogshit at aiming and movements and hes roasting a "PRO"player killing their team using joysticks. TBH this pro players dont even need aim assist. they dont care if they nerf it or remove it.
Aim assist is older then xqc himself so shut up lol. Xqc would cry if a fly landed on him for fuck sake.
Your playing half the game. Lmao hilarious.
People need to stop bitching and be happy we have crossplay period.
So wait jake quit?
Heard it all before on here…. here is something new to talk about….where's Jake?
If it's so good why not move from m&k to controller? oh thats right
Maybe MKB should switch to controller then. Tried of the b***hing 🤷🏽♂️
Any peripheral that has the word "assist" in its description should be considered an advantage over those that don't.
pc has so many ways to play I mean you guys can push I button n ur bad recoil is god like we play with bad recoil every game
this is news mate no one want your opinion
XQS is right,
human reaction time is around 200ms 250ms while aim assist is a computer and its tracking instantly at speed of 1ms, human without aim assist or on KBM literally can not track fast moving targets as fast as computer can, thats the issue here the aim assist tracking stickyness
