Yes there are controller players, and Aim assist was on for them.

Has it changed at all recently? Cause if not I'm not sure how there is even a debate. Last time I played the controller assist was so egregious I'm not sure why you'd do anything else - you can literally just spam the trigger on your gamepad as fast as you can to force it to re-center-/lockon constantly and you have essentially an aimbot.
It also saw through smoke/particles and would target lock people that weren't even rendered on your screen yet due to distance.

I doubt much has changed, but the game is not just a simple shooter game (obviously).
Look at the World Cup, I don't know the exact statistic but I know of 3 controller players and I doubt there were many more. Of the ~200 players in Solos/Duos, maybe 10 would be controller players? And more of those would be in Duos then Solos...
Aydan & Nickmercs have been the top controller players for FortNite, Aydan is the guy that placed 2nd in Duos. I'm not sure if he was in the Solos competition.
Per Epic, 40 million players competed in qualifiers to get to Worlds.
So it's clearly not a huge advantage.
Consider that Building is more of an important factor in this game and M/KB players have a far superior advantage.
For FortNite, it's balanced because shooting isn't everything. For other shooter games I can see where there is more of an argument.

The quote of ninja whining because he got killed by a controller player is hilarious. Is he even that good if he had to play the winners this past weekend on a constant basis? I honestly don't know as I don't follow Fortnite very much at all.
EDIT quick Google says he wasn't even able to qualify for the tourney.

They are a minor, so in most states you would need conservatorship / guardianship of the estate of the minor to even see the money. Even then, it’s use is usually restricted by the court without authorization and they’ll make you take out a giant bond in many states. Most States take that sort of thing very seriously

I think Ninja is good enough to make it but not good enough to get close to top 10 or even 20. I don't know if he even tried for Solos, but he was close to making it with Duos. His duo partner qualified for the Solo competition but didn't place top 20 (Reverse2k). Tfue is pretty damn good and got 67th. Ninja is pretty derpy at times but does have some skill, he lacks the mental to get far. He's a balls-to-the-wall player, very reckless, and is terrible if he needs to turtle and play smart. He could accel in Duos with the right partner.
After winning 1.5M in duos, Aqua played Solos the next day and didn't get anywhere near top 20. Different skillsets for sure.

Cool video on the depth of FortNite combat. I still haven't logged into the game in 6+ months but watching streams can be good entertainment:
Every friday is "Friday FortNite". So today/tonight it's on. Usually a good watch as it's 4 pros in a public lobby trying to slay out.
