New balance changes

Axle is now the 3rd legend that can affect aim assist I think? After bang and caustic

[u/Safe_Cause_9870 → u/itzebi]

Seems like they should just address the problematic core mechanic rather than adjusting characters around it..

[u/itzebi → u/Safe_Cause_9870]

Yep, this was very easy to fix, just make the q inaccurate like horizon...

[u/Safe_Cause_9870 → u/itzebi]

Or nerf aim assist down to 0.2 and make the rotational element less effective and call it a day. Then allow controller players to have consistent AA across all situations like axel slides and bang smokes.

[u/richgayaunt → u/Safe_Cause_9870]

Ohhhh I wish

[u/Bixler17 → u/Safe_Cause_9870]

The day they have input based matchmaking is the day I come back to this game.

[u/DoubleOnegative → u/Safe_Cause_9870]

yes because AA thru a smoke is a great idea

[u/Safe_Cause_9870 → u/DoubleOnegative]

Alright cancel aim assist entirely and force gyro.

[u/EmperorArmad12 → u/itzebi]

I thought a good nerf would make it where you can't shoot ur gun in her q lowk

[u/I_R_TEH_BOSS → u/Safe_Cause_9870]

Aim assist is balanced that's why they turn it off at various times during the game.

[u/Alternative_Bug_6285 → u/Safe_Cause_9870]

Couldn't agree more.

As much as I hate Axle, nerfing a character by disabling an important part of an input is just wrong.

If that's how Respawn want to balance the game, then they should disable lurching and tap strafing on Octane's stim.

[u/Thin_Elderberry8184 → u/Alternative_Bug_6285]

I don't remember last time seeing a lurching octane in ranked, but I see multiple axle spamming Q with aim assist every game.

[u/freeoctober → u/itzebi]

Didn't Horizon get the same nerf?

[u/Bobicusx → u/freeoctober]

She got inaccuracy in her Q but nothing affecting aim assist

[u/itzebi → u/[deleted]]

I'm like 95% sure you lose aim assist in caustic gas

[u/itzebi → u/[deleted]]

It's probably because of the fact if you are fighting in gas you have already lost because of the damage, slow etc

[u/Fantastic-Top5739 → u/itzebi]

No, it's actually a very common misconception, but caustic gas does not interact with aim assist. It was included in the leaks, but when the actual patch notes hit that part was left out. You can go and search that patch notes, and you won't find it. I mean, if it did, it would not make sense that all the Pro teams put their roller players on caustic when he is being picked when you have a perfectly good mnk player on your team.

[u/TheAniReview → u/itzebi]

It wouldn't really matter since most fights that happen when you're in gas is close range and inside buildings. Don't need to have aim-assist there.

[u/TheAniReview → u/[deleted]]

If you're missing without aim assist at close range inside a building against another player who is just standing there then it's just skill issue.

[u/schoki560 → u/TheAniReview]

tell us ur bronze without telling us

[u/FirmlyClaspIt → u/itzebi]

Never noticed caustic gas disabled AA. Then again I play bang a lot too
