Apex Legends is one of the most popular games as it caters to 113,844,575 players on average, inviting them to game with their friends and family. The game picked up pace right after season 2 when the franchise introduced a rank system for all users.
This allowed the pros to show their class in high-rank lobbies, fighting and surviving to be the last squad standing. Looking at this, the game’s developers also introduced a competitive system, allowing the best of the best to win for glory. Teams like TSM, Furia, Liquid, G2, Cloud9, and many more became part of their prestigious journey.

On September 11, 2022, the Apex pro uploaded a tweet venting his feelings on Twitter. He said, “Using Steam Config binds on Controller is cheating in Apex…….. try to change my mind.” The never-ending debate of controller players getting aim assist inspired his tweet as he penned down his thoughts in the post.
The controller players always debate, saying PC gamers use tap strafing to stay ahead of their opponents. This gives them an undue advantage, helping them to crush their opponents easily. PC players, on the other hand, constantly crib about aim assist, as they feel that controllers get that extra aim while killing opponents.
It was just a matter of minutes before fans bombarded his post with their opinions. They vented their thoughts about the topic, explaining each point partly. Here’s what they had to say.

It's entertaining to those who watch me so I'm gonna keep running it, but I won't get mad if they took it away. Definitely is OP having aim assist and then having infinite WASD inputs of my choice all available at the push of L3
