Remove aim assist from ranked

Gears 5
#77

Most people who are complaining actually seem not to know what aim assist is. Virtually every console shooter has aim assist. Every prior Gears game has had aim assist. Even Gears 5 Escalation/Exe has aim assist, albeit dialed down compared to other modes. Removing aim assist entirely results in analog sticks becoming an ineffective input mechanism. The debate here is not over presence or absence, but rather degrees. Thus, every person clamoring for “remove aim assist” really doesn’t understand the discussion,

Moreover, you have a whole group of other people who want to attribute issues with hiboxes, bullet magnetism, lag, and the kill cam to aim assist, which is an even worse misunderstanding than the “remove aim assist” crowd. “Aim assist” has basically become a catchall boogeyman for people on this forum to rail against any element of the game that they dislike.

How cute. How long did it take you to come up with that after your confused screeching?

#80

Yup. Would love for the this screeching fanbase to get it together to have actual constructive criticism. Instead of confusedly spamming general “REMOVE AIM ASSIST! IT DOESNT BELONG!”. You realize to be taken seriously with feedback and criticism you should really be specific and at least convey what the hell you’re talking about. There’s how strong the aim assist, bullet magnetism, hotboxes, lag, and how accurate the kill cam is (it’s all kinds of ■■■■■■). Anyone glancing over the topics and sees “REMOVE AIM ASSIST” probably just gets a laugh if they know what the general meaning what aim assist even is

guess thats why you’re the butthurt one cause you suck, its okay if you keep playing you’ll get better. Roach

#82

100% difference. Don’t know what who ever is in charge of that decision was thinking.

#83

Removing aim assist on rank shouldn’t even be an argument there should be no aim assist on ranked PERIOD. Just stop and get better

#84

Me commenting on butthurt people means I’m butthurt…vs a dude ego stroking himself over a videogame…ok bro

Also someone who doesn’t even know the nuance to this entire topic but just call everything “aim assist”.

#85

When you’re not smart enough to realize about every shooting game with a controller has aim assist. No its not “PERIOD”, turns out dummies don’t know what all systems are in place but instead just say “aIm AsSiSt”

Dude I’ve been playing this game 13 years. KOTH and guardian have AIM ASSIST meaning when you LEFT TRIGGER. It immediately goes to your enemy without you having to FOLLOW THEM with your sticks. That’s BAD GAMEPLAY. That’s NEVER BEEN IN GEARS and is tragically making the game BAD. So please sit this one out and get better in the game. You have no argument to keep that trash in the game. It’s not in execution or escalation and execution is eons better gameplay.

I saw example videos of this and my god that was horrible. Didn’t think it was that bad.

I have decided to only play Escalation and Execution from now on. That is of I can find a match in Execution.

Markza is in Gears 5…

Auto aim don´t belong to gears in any form. But for me it´s even worse with bullet magnetism.

This combination insults any competitive player:

#91

This is neither an accurate definition of aim assist, nor an accurate description of the state of the game.

If I could I would. I love the movement.

#95

I don’t know what version of the game you’re playing but that definitely isn’t the case in mine.

Wish I could get some of that lock on auto aim to help get me out of Silver 3.
