NICKMERCS and DrLupo debate Fortnite aim assist after Ninja says \u201cit shouldn\u2019t be a thing\u201d The debate over aim assist in Fortnite for controller players doesn\u2019t seem to be going away, as top streamers NICKMERCS and DrLupo discussed the issue again while playing together. Ben \u2018DrLupo\u2019 Lupo, a keyboard and mouse player, and Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff, a controller player, disagree on the effectiveness or \u2018strength\u2019 of aim assist when using a controller. The controversy really began after top Fortnite streamer Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins argued that players using a controller when playing on PC shouldn\u2019t have aim assist at all, claiming it gives them an advantage. Ninja believes that aim assist just \u201cshouldn\u2019t be a thing\u201d, when playing on PC servers specifically, and that it would be better balanced with all players, regardless of input, on the same footing. NICKMERCS, 100 Thieves member and one of the very best controller players was one of the first to strongly and publicly disagree, saying \u201cAnybody with a brain \u2013 they know that controller players, in the grand scheme of things, are at huge disadvantage when it comes to the game of Fortnite.\u201d And he has doubled down on this statement when debating the issue with DrLupo. \u201cYou\u2019ve got people like [Ninja] saying it shouldn\u2019t even be a thing, implying that it might be unfair to PC pro players \u2013 are you guys fucking insane?!\u201d DrLupo responded by saying that Ninja\u2019s view doesn\u2019t represent the entire PC Fortnite community, but NICKMERCS was unwavering in his argument. \u201cThere is a couple of bandwagoners who wave the flag that they think aim assist is so overpowered, that controller players actually have an advantage!\u201d Lupo, still seemingly unconvinced, says he has tried Fortnite on a controller, but Kolcheff said he needs to try it for a few days, \u201cbecause I\u2019m telling you, it\u2019s not what you guys make it seem.\u201d The 100 Thieves member then pulled up an example of mouse tracking, exclaiming that such movement simply isn\u2019t possible with a controller stick.
