Greetings,
I usually have no problems telling people I play with that I am using a XIM, but almost every time I've been told that I'm cheating. I've been asked some stupid questions, because they believe stupid things.
So I am making this post to prove that it's definitely not true and to clarify some things.
The main problem is ignorance.
First of all, I've been asked "Oh you play on M/KB? So you can do
this or
that like on PC!"
No. The game still thinks that I am using a controller, so I can't do anything that controllers can't already do. It's not like I have more features or anything. There is nothing I can do that controllers can't.
Now let's talk about Aim Assist. I've been told that I have aim assist with a mouse, and that's definitely
OP.
Well let me ask you one question, why do you think PC players don't have aim assist?
Because Aim Assist and a Mouse don't go well together! AA it's just a hindrance because of the accuracy of the mouse.
Sometimes it slows your aim too much and won't let you reach or stay on target. AA is something made for controllers.
We XIM users have to fine tune our settings to deal with it
Well then just disable Aim Assist when possible and you will have perfect aim like on PC, right? (Yes, I've been told this as well). Guess what? Just because we are on console, games often have some weird look mechanics with acceleration or stuff like that, to make the use of a controller more comfortable. Of course I don't mean that playing with AA off it's not possible, it just does not give you a PC feeling. Also depends on the game.
Of course using a XIM has its advantages, otherwise why would I use it, but at the end of the day, it does not give you an unfair advantage and it's definitely not cheating. Players who say otherwise are just ignorant or are making excuses.
Hope you enjoyed this read, share your experiences! Have you ever had a conversation like this with someone?
Cheers~
