Basically the title. I had no experience playing on controller in the past, and picked it up just 2 weeks ago, and t’s important to mention that I’ve been practicing HARD. I’m talking at least 30-45 hours a week just constantly getting shit on across multiplayer and resurgence solos and quads. I have laid MNK unless we’re playing ranked, but during that, ‘m always reminded at the great disadvantage MNK has against controller.
My take on this is that while controller does require some skill to master, it’s nothing if you compare with the sheer amount of efforts and attention put into MNK. Aim assist makes it so easy to acquire targets and lock onto them.
My aim is still wonky, movement s getting there, and I literally dropped 21 kills in ashika solos. I’ve NEVER dropped more than 18 kills in any of the resurgence modes, and I dropped it after just 2 weeks of playing. I had 2.2kd and I’m currently diamond 2 on MNK, and I can confidently say that what’s controller is better at than MNK is consistency. Oh my god, consistently hitting those shots after letting aim assist taking over feels good. It definitely sparked my passion for the game again and now I’m addicted to mashing buttons again. Playing the game became such a relaxing experience and I don’t have to stress about the visual recoil or visual clusterfuck on the screen.
Another important thing I’d say for controller, the one and only disadvantage is centring. If you turn around the corner and you’re not looking straight into the target, ADSing then adjusting your aim is a death sentence, unless you’re good, which explains what seperates good roller players from bad ones. On MNK, yeah, it’s easier to just flick, even while ADSing, on controller, while ADSing, it’s really difficult to fight aim assist and aim freely. But my days, once it shticks, there’s no going back.
That’s quite literally the only disadvantage I see on controller. Long range fights? easy. Flicking from target to target (i.e, ADSing, firing, realising ADS, then ADSing again onto another target)? easy. Recoil control? OMG, nonexistent thanks to aim assist.
Oh yeah, here’s the gameplay: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdpc5Z23DDk&ab\_channel=SoldatX](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdpc5Z23DDk&ab_channel=SoldatX)
Again, I’m not good, but considering this is only 2 weeks in, I think I’m looking at 2-3 months of this until I’m back to where I was on MNK.
Tells you something lol.

That’s why I think it’s so fucking funny when controller players think that “they” are good when aim assist does 97% of every single gunfight
And the magical thing that’s top 250 is endless controller
We need separate lobies.
ITT life is wonderful with a crutch.

i got the newly released Scuf Envision controller which has keybinds and [Macros](https://www.google.com/search?q=scuf+envision+macros&sca_esv=577611598&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS784US784&hl=en-US&sxsrf=AM9HkKmyvGL4zpLnd0AH8vRh-Z7cCWYNpQ%3A1698587248184&ei=cGI-ZdvvCoXHkPIPn_2x-Ak&oq=scuf+envision+macros&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIhRzY3VmIGVudmlzaW9uIG1hY3JvczIFECEYoAFIjhdQ3gZYihNwAXgAkAEAmAG_AaABjQeqAQM0LjS4AQPIAQD4AQHCAgcQIxiwAxgnwgIKEAAYRxjWBBiwA8ICChAAGIoFGLADGEPCAhMQLhiKBRjlBBjIAxiwAxhD2AEBwgIWEC4YigUYxwEY0QMYyAMYsAMYQ9gBAcICBBAjGCfCAgYQABgDGArCAgoQABiABBgUGIcCwgIHEAAYgAQYCsICBRAhGKsC4gMEGAAgQYgGAZAGDboGBAgBGAg&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:aed477fd,vid:UZlrkTI30Rc,st:0). Its literally several clicks combined into one.
I know I’ll get shat upon for this, but I barely notice aim assist, let alone can I figure out how to control it enough to make it game-changing. It’s not like GTA where it directs you to a target. It seems to barely slow down your aiming when near a target. And also barely locks on to them. The way people talk about it you’d think it was a huge asset.
In WZ1 I did the opposite. Switched to mouse and keyboard and practiced hard as hell, but it took me about six months to break my PR and only by 4 kills, at that. But then I kept breaking it until I finally got up to 29 one time in Caldera.
WZ2 sucks for mnk, and it never felt as serious or competitive as WZ1 felt to me. I just don’t care enough to switch back to controller/grind that game.
