Obviously my aim feels a bit wonky post nerf, any tips or changes you guys made that work better for ya?

Currently: 4-3 Linear 1x for all alc bleed through

Im torn between what input device to use.

I really like the laser factor of the roller but dislike long range in it (I hate snipers so it’s mainly for mid-long range ars&marksmen.)

I dislike how clunky movement feels compared to kbm.

On kbm I really like the fluidity of movement etc. but I’m not rly interested in learning advanced movement strats so idk if basic movement should really be the deciding factor.

I dislike about kbm how you need god aim vs roller players in close fights and the inconsistency that comes with it.

I had positive experiences with both inputs but switching back and forth is probably even worse than deciding on one.

What’s your experience between kbm vs roller, if you tried both and stuck with one?

For context i play on xbox. For reference im a play level player. I feel like the only main thing holding me back is my aim. My aim flaw doesn’t become obvious till i reach plat and players start to have noticeably better aim.

*CONSOLE*

A little pretext, I solo queue to master every split. I’m definitely not the best player by any means but I’ve been playing FPS competitively for a long time and I’m surely PRETTY GOOD. I have great rotations and awareness, I train my aim before every session, have played mouse and key and controller both at a high level, and have won tournaments in COD warzone in the past and placed second in a halo tournament. All of this to say, my aim is probably PRETTY WELL ABOVE AVERAGE, and I’m clearly good at games.

So…

Why does it feel like 40-50% of fights that I take, my opponent is playing with more confidence than prime Mike Tyson and just completely sitting me down? Like, people are just ignorantly swinging me while we’re both full HP, I don’t miss a shot yet I’m dead and they’re at 40-50hp.

I will say, I only have about 1700 hours in apex which I know is a lot less than some of these guys so there could be something I’m missing? I’m totally open to the fact that they are just better and have played longer than me…but my instincts are screaming at me that something is fishy.

Just looking for some feedback or insight from the community, I would totally love to be wrong because that would push me harder to improve, but as of right now I can’t help but think that I’m dying to cheaters a lot of the time. (Which would suck because I love this game 😞)

I would like some recommendations on who to play. I solo queue ranked and tend to play Legends like ballistic or mad Maggie and go for high kill and ir damage games but was thinking it might be better if I play something with more movement like a skirmisher.

I want some ideas on who may fit that playstyle

Did they really unofficially nerf aim-assist?

The only solution I found was lowering my fps to 180-200 but I can’t play at 240 fps anymore. Never had this issue last season and it only started recently. Any help would be appreciated.

My CPU is a 9800x3d and my GPU is Radeon RX 9070 XT

This season k/d 1.7, im guessing not great not terrible, average dmg 850.

I'm getting matched in plat with some ppl that i think they refuse to have a minimum thinking process in the game, they are playing apex like they are playing doom eternal on easiest mode. Truthfully it brings the worst out of me just cause i try to do something and i see the lack of a proper attitude for an online competitive game mode.

I started to count my games and it results in 15-20% at best decent game on my teammates side, if i don’t carry i feel like it's a bust. At least one teammate has 3-5x less damage or countless times they just throw themselves into a 1v3

I try to be nice and then i end up ruthlessly toxic after 7-8 horrific in a row games which just burn me out, i feel like im doing good but is not enough. It boggles my mind im fighting 2-3 teams, end up doing like 1k dmg then i spectate my mate with 100 dmg who cant even slide properly.

I'm trying to find some excuse for them maybe their setup is bad, maybe they play with like 30 fps, maybe they have a disability and i was a horrible person i feel even the pressure of the guilt at times.

Summary of my yesterday's games, 9 games top damage/kd at least one teammate one was way off or the dead on drop
I was tired i started insulting ppl from the ship and barely in my 10th game i found some decent teammates who were sympathetic with my tilted state and they ended the disgusting period i had, one promised me he will do better than me and he did slightly but he delivered.
I called them f*****n id***ts from the start and told them to prove me wrong.

I do strongly believe the main problem is the delusion of the players and the fact that they just don't care about having a decent game and enjoy to only struggle and the matchmaking system doesn’t help either, you call them bad when you have 1000 dmg and they have 100 and they talk back and start being toxic, you can never improve at the game unless you admit you're bad and change something in your play-style or train in the shooting range or in deathmatch/control/wildcard

They published today that they had to do so in order to crack down on the bigger cheater issue, but costing controller players a 2-4% accuracy loss

I’m pretty good with managing tension in my fingers and wrist but when tracking my arm and even my shoulder tenses up a bit and I almost lock out sometimes and it’s hard to track someone doing a longer strafe. Has anyone dealt with this? How do you guys apply tension in your aim? I know some people say you shouldn’t use much tension at all but I feel that’s not the best idea. Edit: I’ve seen the viscose video and I’m too dumb to understand it.

Apex legends has false banned me for "Gameplay Enhancement" & I am not quite sure why. I am gold and simply just play with friends. My account was around level 58.

Every response I get from support is an automated response & points me in no direction of how to actually get this account unbanned.

Any alt I make gets banned within a few games so I started to think if something is running in the background.

The only 2 programs I have open when playing is "Discord" & "Spotify" everything else is closed.

I uninstalled "Glorious Core" & "G Hub" as this is the only thing I can see that might get flagged for macros or anything? To be clear I have not cheated or used any macros ever.

I use these launch options +fps_max 120 -forcenovsync -dev -high -novid -fullscreen -preload

To back up my evidence I made a new alt account and recorded EVERYTHING I possibly could. I recorded every game except the last one which I only have a 3 minute clip of me getting killed in. In this recording I showed all services, tasks, my DxDiag & Sysinfo.

I have no externals except my Focusrite, Mouse & Keyboard in my pc.

After 2 hours of gameplay this account got banned for "Gameplay Emulation"

Even after submitting all this evidence I still get an automated response from the EA Support team & I don't know where to go from here.

There is clearly a problem with false bans I have the proof that these are false bans but I just cant seem to do anything about it. I cant make a new account because that gets banned & I cant get my main unbanned because I have used all 10 reappeals requests.

I have tried to be constructive within these appeals but I seem to never get a real reply.

Idk if anyone in this sub could even help but I just hope giving this problem more attention makes it so they can actually look through these appeals properly.
