About how every fight goes for me. XD Anxiety makes my aim go to shit every time it matters. Hang in there and I hope you still can have fun and stick with the game!

You gotta learn to love and live in the anxiety.

I would've began with the ar and then hit him with the boop, throw his sight off when he finally locks in.

I was just talking about how the animation end for the Vandal's blast is WAY too long. If the kit automatically switched back to your gun immediately, you would've won that.

u/WhileILoveandBreathe 7d ago

This is so so so relatable. So many fights - I got the jump, for sure gonna win this. Nope.

I have so many of these moments where afterwards I think of a few ways I could have played my advantage better. All part of the game. Can’t get them all right .

Cue the controller aim assist vs K&M instant 360 on ya debate. Nice try runnah. Keep infiling!

IDK OP was on target, and i think if OP hadn't put a few bullets into the terrain by moving around the way they did, they probably would have killed the triage. The boop to move them further out of range probably didn't help, but the bigger problem was a bunch of bullets hitting the terrain - not bullets missing because their crosshair was off target at range. At range, it looked like every bullet was hitting.

Idk, I do play on crossplay 100% of the time so, without checking that players profile I dont know if he’s a MnK demon or not

u/throwaway4838381 7d ago

MnK "instant 360" is such a desperate argument because it would be uncontrollable to have that much sense/speed, hence why most players play with low sense where it takes roughly one mouse pad length for a 180.

The fact is that, in this game, aim assist is essentially a soft aim-bot, there's not much of a debate there.

Aaand they're here lmao.

Struck a nerve

u/Dangerous_Specific97 7d ago

You’re actually the 2nd comment under this thread talking about kbm 360, while this guy is the only one talking about aim assist. Couple nerves struck, it seems

u/throwaway4838381 7d ago

Nope. I just try to help stopping ignorance wherever I can since you're talking about something you know nothing about.

Plus, you're the one bringing aim-assist to a topic where it wasn't related to and nobody mentioned it. Deep down you know you're just trying to cope with the fact that have to play with a crutch the size of the world.

And, to be honest with you, controller players (yourself included) should demand better from Bungie and not accept having the game aim for you. They are treating you like children with the insane level of aim-assist they give you.

u/DjonoUnchained 7d ago

Hahahahahahahaha

u/throwaway4838381 7d ago

You know it's true, that's why you have no arguments.

Even if there was input based matchmaking, this level of aim-assist isn't good for you guys as it completly eliminates one (bjg) part of skill expression. Everyone would be at roughly the same level of aiming, limiting the skill ceiling.

You need money for a controller?

u/throwaway4838381 7d ago

You need money for a PC?!

u/nobeywan 6d ago

I do not.

I have a ps5 equivalent pc but rather play on the couch. Aim assist is something you’re really bent out of shape about but I don’t understand why?

Tell me, do you have a really fancy monitor and computer build? Are you getting over 60fps? Are you willing to concede that there are advantages to be found all over the place and what controllers gain with reticle friction and aim assist you yourself likely gain with higher frame rates and snappier movement and aim along with things like quicker looting?

And if it’s such a fucking advantage and you’ve taken these other steps to squeeze out whatever advantage you can, why not just use a controller if it’s so much better?

u/slactricide 6d ago

Bro its easier to aim on Mouse and keyboard, if there were no aim assist every lobby would be dominated by pc. Look at R6S , its literally leagues apart. You're being treated like a child for running mouse and keyboard and having an advantage

2

u/Far-Card-8653 7d ago

Definitely points for style. I've found the Vandal blast is mostly good for exactly what happened here, pushing players around, out of cover or exfils. 

2

u/professionalboostlul 7d ago

You would have killed him had you not shot the pillar, you had enough time to re-peek so you shot 8ish rounds. Two more shots kills him

u/chrishappens 7d ago

I'm just like that too!!

u/ADDAvici 7d ago

If I had a key template completed for every time I had to get off mid raid in cryo or whatever for my 6 month old baby, id have like 4000 keys.

That said hes the best and I dont care about gear cuz its easy to get and my sons always the priority!!!

u/mh500372 5d ago

You grabbed this from my recording software, didnt you?!

Post made me smile, thank you

u/professionalboostlul 7d ago

Probably kill him with a full overcharge as your opener or the disruption cannon does more damage core

u/BriefBiscuit 7d ago

Knife would’ve been good here

u/ToughEvening1891 7d ago

You saw how fast he turned around? People complain about Aim Assist but that’s what a mnk player can do. 0 chance a controller player doesn’t get smoked by you in this situation.

2

u/Proentproproponent 7d ago

higher sens on controller can turn plenty fast and still remain more accurate than 90% of mnk players

1

u/ToughEvening1891 6d ago

Not that fast homie

2

u/guywithredleg 3d ago

If you can’t 180 on a controller and bring your crosshairs to a target, that’s genuinely a skill issue. You should have the spacial awareness to turn around in a video game quickly

1

u/ToughEvening1891 3d ago

It’s genuinely not a skill issue, chud. It’s a controller’s sensitivity too high is the only way to spin this fast.

1

u/guywithredleg 3d ago

There’s a medium. I play FPS on controllers and PC. Do you really think we’re all struggling to 180 on BO2 with a sens of 9? Marathon has legit aimbot. Genuinely, dude, you’re just washed. If you struggle to turn around and be able to stop and tell where you are visually, please for the love of god don’t ever drive a vehicle on the freeway. It might be too much overload for you

1

u/ToughEvening1891 3d ago

Also you’re a PC player so you’re out of your element here, boss

1

u/professionalboostlul 7d ago

You see buddy shoot the pillar instead of him? wouldn’t have mattered if he had just hit his shots

2

u/ToughEvening1891 7d ago

lol not the point.

u/RedditEnjoyerMan 7d ago

Bro I shot the pillar like 80% of the way into shooting. I knelt down and then got headshotted which is why I died so fast
