Aim assist is a good thing. It helps level the playing field. It helped a lot of weaker players, and the main people complaining are the people who normally protostomp.

So no, I hope they never remove it. It did great things for the game.

Also, it provides very little assist compared to most FPS games aim assist. Once it was introduced players started pretending it was why they died. If you get shot, its your fault., not aim assists.

Get good.

Nope, Aim Assist has ruined any chance for new players to get into the game.

Its one of the reasons why Proto / HP is a deciding factor in matches or 1v1s, if you've got a Skilled MLT Player, and an average Proto player, and they both go at it with AA on, the Proto Player will win almost everytime. But, if they went at it without Aim Assist, the skilled player would be winning more often.

AA has ruined the TTK of this game, it has ruined the competitivness in this game, and it has ruined any sense of achievement.

Stop defending your crutch.

This is simply not factual. Just a few minutes ago, wearing my Dren scout BPO and using a combat rifle, I came face to face with a proto Cal Assault. We started shooting at the same time, he sprayed at me and only got one bullet into my armor before I melted him. I've had similar situations all evening and won more than half of them.
Learn to strafe. I'm having no issues killing heavily tanked players in a STD scout suit. Some crush me, because they can aim. Many do not, because they can't. Your problem is in between the couch and the TV.

You were using aim assist on the second strongest weapon in the game and hit every bullet. As a speed tanker, strafing is not possible unless you are going up against someone missing both thumbs. The only way to speed tank now is the random sprint and jump over head method, which still work semi well

I was using the second most powerful gun in the game, but my TTK against him was still more than triple his against me. AA is powerful, yes, but it hasn't destroyed the game like so many of you seem to think. You talk about speed tanking like sprinting/strafing quickly is supposed to make your opponent completely unable to hit you... to me, the advantage of speed is the freedom to choose when and where to initiate the fight- speed tanking to me means getting the drop on my opponent by appearing in places they do not expect, allowing me to get shots off before they realize what's happening.
