The Crossplay/ Aim Assist Dilemma

Episode 9 of Tales from thelonesalesman podcast. In this episode we take a crack into cross-platform / cross-play FPS games and the issues that have risen between Keyboard and Mouse players and controller players.

The main complaint from MnK players being, controller's "Aim assist" is too much of a handicap for competitive games. This has been talked about from Games like Apex Legends, Call of Duty Warzone, fortnite, Halo, Overwatch, and more as more games are releasing as cross platform titles where all players can play with each other.

We take a look at a few opinions from streamers and pro players along with articles that touch on the topic.
