Nerfing 5% Aim-assist potency will balance cross-play

Just get rid of PC players and the issue is fixed

It’s not irrefutable… It uses a sampling of 100 players from different sized populations, using only data of those populations aiming against themselves, and then claims they’re comparable.

To be irrefutable, you’d have to compare the same percentage range of players from each population (eg. top 5% of players, middle 50%, etc). Then, you’d have to use data showing their performance against the opposite input, rather than their performance against the same input. Else, the accuracy differences could be due to maneuvering dis/advantages on controller/K&M.

Regardless, I suspect there is some advantage in aiming during straight BR fights for controller (the most common engagement in ranked), just doubt it is to the same degree being purported.

actually the best way is just shutting the god dam crossplay down.
Console player dont want to play with PC at all
we dont want the dam cheaters or just to be criticized like ā€œaim assist is toooo strongā€ or what

They’ll probably do nothing, because the majority of Halo players are still console players and they’re going to cater to them first and fore most. Halo is a console franchise first and foremost as well.

People are going to have to learn to cope, or ask for a system that pits only kbm players against one another.

And platform while they are at it.

That’s right have both input and platform. Let the players choose against what system and against what input they want to play. Period.

If you were engaging in this conversation in good faith, you’d be willing to do your share of the intellectual work. You’re not, by your own admission.

In this debate I’m engaging in good faith. I’m trying to give my thoughts as best I can, without being rude to those involved. I’m trying to be honest, and engage with others I’d hope would be honest. That doesn’t mean I have to go out and do data analysis. And, in fact, I don’t think the data allows for me to control for the variables I’ve mentioned. As I believe I said before, I think Cashew did a good job working with the data presented. I just don’t think the data gives us enough information. If Halo tracker could provide us with each players input device, not just for those set playlist, I’d perhaps be more inclined to look at the data more. Does that make sense?

The whole ā€˜burden of proof’ thing is ridiculous.

No it’s not. The burden of proof is always on the one making the claim.

You’re not being ā€˜healthily sceptical’, you’re being unhealthily sceptical and engaging in motivated reasoning to protect your worldview.

Again resorting to attacks on my person. Why must you do this? Also, what worldview am I protecting? I never said Cashew was wrong. You’re free to find the data convincing. I don’t. It doesn’t mean I believe the contrary. I never once said that. Honestly, I’m rethinking things. I just have doubts the gap would be nearly this large. So I’m going to need a good amount of data to be convinced. If the claim were a smaller gap, I’d need less data.

I doubt any evidence would be enough to persuade you otherwise.

I told you sufficient but not necessary information that would convince me.

Did you read the part where the author says " In science, your evidence needs to come from the peer-reviewed literature". That’s not what we have here. We have one pool of data, that looks at a limited subset of people. The situations being discussed with relation to vaccines and what not aren’t at all comparable to what we’re looking at now. And, if you were to look at the criteria I’ve asked for, you’ll find these sort of things attempted to be controlled for in vaccination studies. It’s comparing apples to oranges.

Also, the situation we are talking about isn’t as critical as vaccines. My being skeptical of data suggesting such a wide accuracy gap isn’t the same as someone being skeptical about a vaccine. I’m not going to get someone sick by talking about this. I’m not going to cause the world to heat up faster like I would with ignoring data on climate change. The situation we are talking about isn’t as dire, hence it is less important that I am swayed by the data.

You did resort to personal attacks. You said I don’t assess data in an objective manner, you said I am incapable of critical thinking, you’ve said I’m not informed. You’re free to attack the points I bring up, but don’t direct your arguments towards me directly. Frankly, it doesn’t feel good. Which is why I’ve tried to avoid it with you. Again, I’m sorry if I’ve ever made a personal attack towards you. I’ve not meant to.

I’m not referring to engaging in this conversation, I’m referring to you requiring others to go to much more effort than you are willing to engage in, yourself. You have an issue, you do the work.

They’re the ones making the claim. I’m not. The burden of proof is on the one making the claim. I have not been convinced by the data. It’s not on me to go out and try and prove their claim. That isn’t how burden of proof works.

And by the way. I am not requiring they go out and do more work. If they don’t want to, that’s fine. I just won’t be convinced is all.

The reality is that no one can convince you but you.

I’ve been convinced of a lot of things that have changed my world view drastically that did not come from me. The problem is the data we have no is limited. That’s not Cashew or your fault. It’s not anyone’s fault. Halotracker doesn’t list input device statistics. We only have information about what playlists someone has been in, which is limited.

You know the method you want followed to analyse the data ā€œproperlyā€, so you do it if you genuinely want an answer to that question.

I don’t feel there is enough information on Halotracker. Perhaps 343 has more data behind the scenes than we do though. Maybe they could make a statement with information we do not posses. Honestly, one of the big issues I have, is we don’t even know if the people being looked at in the data only used one input device. Controlling for that would be huge, but it can’t be done with our resources. If 343 can, then great. I’m not asking them to. I’m not requiring anyone put out any effort. But if they wanted to, it could help settle things.

Let’s see with ā€œLOGICā€ and a ā€œSERIOUSā€ company, how would you balance this problem?

With INTERNAL data I would make a comparison between KB / MOUSE and AA-Controller and nerf the AA until both ā€œinputsā€ have differences of 1% -3%.

Without telling anyone I would put it in a ā€œNinja-patchā€ and continue checkin the Win/Lose/Death/Kill ratio in cross-play.

343 You don’t have to ASK THE FANS FOR PERMISSION to balance the "DAM " game.
