This will stir up some commotion, but I've never played a game that requires that little ability to actually aim.
There is the gun-play, with aim-assist and auto-aiming turrets and weapons - eradicating most skill.
But there are also abilities that will do all the work for you.
Why do players, that use melee or shoulder charge, only "kinda" have to aim in a general direction to hit their target? They literally get sucked in. There is no defense to that. The connections are so bad that it makes countering impossible.
Supers are undoubtably insanely powerful. So why do projectiles tend to home in instead of having to require proper aim? It's mind-boggling.
All these "participation rewards" aka "ease of use" abilities and weapons needs to be toned down to keep people actually trying to get better and create some balance with all the omni-presence of abilities.

Edited by A_mo: 1/8/2023 10:04:01 PMThe ability stuff does seem to have gone a little overboard with the way players aren't really required to do very much when it comes to some things. But the game needs aim assist because it moves too fast to just have none. There can actually be a pretty big skill gap in terms of how people use aim assist but that gets sucked out of the game by other things. The auto aim/bullet magnetism could probably be toned down on some weapons or be more consistent with the way it works and the reticle friction is one of those things where more isn't necessarily better for a lot of people so its really not that huge of a deal. But it would be nice if aim assist just worked in a consistent way for everyone instead of what the game actually does.

2 RepliesEdited by Mara Sov’s Step Bro: 1/8/2023 8:09:09 PMYeah no. Destiny’s controls are actual dogshit. You can’t even adjust the dead zones on controller. Without massive amounts of aim assist this game would play like crap and that’s due to a fundamental engine issue - it’s running on the old Halo engine. Even with the aim assist they’re garbage compared to something like Warzone. Without it, the game would be unplayable. Destiny’s gunplay and massive aim assist is designed to make you feel like a god, while you’re really playing with garbage controls on a 20 year old game engine

Edited by ThatGuy: 1/8/2023 8:57:19 PMWe would need a load more customization options than we currently have for them to gut aim assist and melee lung. Games with no AA and limited customization tend to play like complete and utter crap on controller.

It'd be fun to watch people use weapons with basically both Slickdraw and Gutshot passively active on any and all weapons.

Their are far more potatoes that play this game than skilled players. It would upset the majority.
