DUST Search - [Feedback] Aim Assist is Too Strong

I'm going to be painfully honest. You are most likely had a negative K/D and couldn't aim worth sh*t in 1.3 if you think the aim assist is a good thing. It benefits the worst players and hurts the good ones. And I am not even that good, I only have... Like... 8k kills or something and have 12m sp~ (I'm not being specific because I'm at college right now and I don't really remember.) and I had a 2.05 k/d in 1.3. I now never lose 1v1s. 2 damage mods, all complex plates, 1 complex rep, win. Nothing beats me 1v1. I out dps and tank everything. It's no longer a challenge, but I cant 1v6 and win successfully anymore by bobbing and weaving because they all hit me 100% of the time. My scout CEO gets chokeslammed when fighting ARs cause he has so little health and they hit everyshot. Speed tanking is obsolete now. I cant outskill multiple enemies and 1v1ing isnt fun anymore.

I have used exclusively the AR, with an SMG sidearm. That's what I have on every fit, and now I have no counters. This is coming from someone who has only used the AR and has been playing since closed beta: ARs are OP now. With complex damage mods I win. Period. I dare anyone using anything other than an AR to beat me 1v1. I could probably headshot a heavy to death before his forge gun charges up. It's really, truly, awful. I want to stomp noobs running proto to pub stomp with a standard AR with pure skill again. :( I'm depressed, why would you do this to me, CCP? :(

Aim assist is minimal for nearly all weapons except the laser rifle (which is UP in stats anyway so changing its aim assist without buffing stats would not be good I think). The AR has better aim assist than before but not OP. The only people that make it look OP are the people that were really good before patch 1.4 with aiming; like me. It basically rewards aim much more and surprise attacks a bit more. I can still take on 3 players solo. But its far risker now. Just pick them off 1 by 1 without other noticing when you can. Grenades are a good tactic when facing groups of enemies. Armor tanking is good if you want to take on groups and surprise them (dmg mods and armor make a good ambush combo). The game was meant to make proto suits rare in public matches (because its meant to be very high risk). Now its easier to kill proto suits with militia weapons (was still easy before 1.4, just flux and finish off with any weapon) and its riskier to take on groups even if your evenly matched in numbers now.

The aim assist is enough to make me not want to play this game right now. I used to win every 1v1 because i had better aim and i strafed intelligently, but now all it is, is trading health. I win every 1v1 just because I stack complex armor plates/damage mods. I honestly could just stand still because strafing is pointless now. I am so incredibly disappointed that I can't even put it into words. Nobody stands a chance unless they are using an AR against me because I out dps and tank everything else like it's a joke. You are winning because your are using your suit well, once shield tankers realize that there strength is retreating and regenerating shields repeatedly they will start to give you a challenge and win against you sometimes; like I will. Atm most people are till trying to figure out how to beat armor tanking now that its superior to shields in a straight up fight. Just look in my post on how to beat armor tanking. Although if you surprise your enemy you should be able to beat them in a straight up fight even if they are dual tanked and your using a shield tanking militia suit. (assuming you have good aim) Ive done this many times. Its still possible to lone wolf but its much harder now. Best to stay in groups so its harder to be surprised and killed by me lol.

There strength is regerating shields in cover and coming back with full health faster than you can and eventually killing you. This takes a bit of time. Armor tanking's weakness is slower health regeneration so it takes time to regenerate hp in between battles. you kill people quicker but take longer to get back in the fight. shields take longer to kill people usually but get back in the fight faster. wait until players adapt and become good at aiming quicker with the new aim assist and learn the value of surprise attacks. if anyone finds that they cant surprise the enemy just armor tank in militia armor and ,as usual try to surprise them, however your now more prepared for a straight up fight. Stick to your group or in line of sight of your group. You might start getting 1 kill every death that way, or more, depending on how smart your team is.
