Apex Legends pros warn Season 10 is in the \u2018worst state\u2019 as aim assist takes over Twitch: sweetdreams \/ Respawn EntertainmentThe debate around aim assist in Apex Legends has hit fever pitch in Season 10. The combination of Seer\u2019s addition and the shake-up to weapons has pro players like ImperialHal, Snip3down, and Sweet fearing the feature will dominate yet again. Aim assist and controllers in Apex Legends has been a contentious topic for months now. However, in Season 10, it\u2019s hitting new levels. With the addition of Seer with his \u201cwallhacks\u201d and incredible intel gathering, as well as the change-up to ground loot with guns like the Prowler returning, Apex Legends pros are warning players to brace for potentially the \u201cworst\u201d meta in some time. NRG pro Chris \u2018sweet\u2019 Sexton compared the current Prowler meta to previous controller SMG metas, saying it\u2019s more biased to \u201cmediocre controller players\u201d than ever before. \u201cIn the last meta, it was actually good controller players with the R-99 and the Volt shining through over the average controller players, but the Prowler muddles everything. You can be a very mediocre controller player on the Prowler and be very good on it,\u201d sweet said on stream. This view was backed up by TSM\u2019s Eric \u2018Snip3down\u2019 Wrona, a controller player himself. \u201cProwler never should have never been put back on the ground. I don\u2019t know how that gun got put back,\u201d Snip3down added. \u201cI just explained it [to Twitch chat] as like imagine professional basketball players but x amount of those players have the rim expanded by three feet\u2026and they just have an easier chance of making it.\u201d While the two distinguished that it doesn\u2019t matter for public lobbies, in ranked and pro play, controller players will dominate their mouse and keyboard counterparts. One estimate by sweet claimed that 95% of pro players will be on controller by Season 11 or 12. \u201cIn the normal game it\u2019s whatever, but competitively speaking, it\u2019s going to be at the point where you need to have an anchor controller Prowler player for close-range fights,\u201d sweet said. This follows on from comments by the likes of Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek. The former CS:GO pro turned Twitch star said earlier in August that Respawn will never be able to balance aim assist in Apex. \u201cLike you get rid of aim assist, then controller sucks. You have aim assist, then controller\u2019s too strong. Like there\u2019s no perfect balance there,\u201d he said. \u201cLet it exist in casual play all day. Just don\u2019t mix in a professional environment. The fact that Apex professional teams have to have at least one minimum controller player does not sit right with me.\u201d Thankfully, Respawn are looking at solving some of the problems \u2014 at least more generally. Both Seer nerfs and Prowler changes are on the way, and while they don\u2019t target controller players specifically, it\u2019ll nerf some of the inbuilt power of the deadly Season 10 combo. While it\u2019s not the end of the world, with pros still being adamant that Season 10 brought plenty of good changes, that could change if aim assist doesn\u2019t get changed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
