apex

[wicked river]

I think they got a strafe speed increase but yeah

Real cool respawn

[honest heron]

idk why they changed ammo on wingman that wasnt the problem anyway

strafe speed was a bigger issue

[wicked river]

Inb4 people run longbow over wingman

[obsidian lintel]

I like launch day wingman 3 years ago

It was very pog

[bright elm]

110 headshot

[obsidian lintel]

With purple skull piercer

[bright elm]

fired faster than me thrusting into ur mom

[obsidian lintel]

Literally everyone use wingman

[bright elm]

r99 and wingman were disgusting

on launch

[honest heron]

still are

[obsidian lintel]

I still have a ptsd from mozambique

That gun is legit worse than punching on launch

[bright elm]

3 ammo mozambique

[honest heron]

mozambique here

[wicked river]

Mozam actually good now

[bright elm]

shit was such a meme

im surprised it took them so long

[honest heron]

i actually like mozam off drop

[bright elm]

to buff the mozambique

[honest heron]

its decent

[bright elm]

for it to be usable

[wicked river]

The p2020 tho

[obsidian lintel]

I swear people literally just pick it up and punch instead of using it

Oh p2020 also got a lot better

I was surprised today

When I used it

Not even close to the same gun

[wicked river]

I don't even remember 2020 getting changes

[obsidian lintel]

it hits a lot harder now

[sharp nova]

https://tenor.com/view/slooshy-time-slooshy-cat-wiggly-cat-cute-kitten-funny-kitten-gif-25115496

[obsidian lintel]

And um the modifier thingy

[frigid bramble]

wdym?

[obsidian lintel]

They added it pretty early tho

That was a patch after I quit apex

[shrewd sapphire]

its coming out again

[sharp nova]

in battlepass?

[shrewd sapphire]

no

recolor store

[sharp nova]

wowww

[shrewd sapphire]

its going to be overpriced as fuck

but then again i dont rlly care xd

[frigid bramble]

fuckkkk off youre jokinnnnnn

is it actual

im so excited omg

wait what about cutting edge or zero poin r9?!? surrrreely

[frigid bramble]

gaddd dayme 🤣

[shrewd sapphire]

no idea

all i know is that the flatline recolor is almost 100%

[bright elm]

the cutting edge r99

i want that back

[shrewd sapphire]

source is thordansmash

osalvatore (guy that leaked the s14 updates)

[frigid bramble]

ohhhh recolourrr

[shrewd sapphire]

yeah

[frigid bramble]

thought you meant actually buying the skin itself

silly me

[shrewd sapphire]

i have a friend who has a friend that works at respawn

said friend said that the marketing team was wondering when to bring it out

supposedly it looks a lot like the fanmade recolor

as in, red and black

which is going to be sick

[frigid bramble]

daymmme son

id love it if they could bring back the cutting edge r9, zero point, or just something on that type of level. so sick of the r9 skins most of us rock now. i hate seeing the big ass tube hangin out the side of it. so ugly

[shrewd sapphire]

lowkey same so i bought the seer launch bundle

irons suck but

i prefer how it looks a lot

[honest heron]

Zero point is so clean

[shrewd sapphire]

tbh ppl call me stupid for this but i do kinda prefer the big tube r9 over the s7 bp ones

the s4 one is the best

then the tube ones

then the s7 ones

then everything else

i would do

unholy things for the zero point

[frigid bramble]

faxxx

i’ve even stooped as low as using the arctic r9 skin for a bit of satisfaction 😂😂😂😂

fake ass zero point 🤣😭

there she isssss. the arctic 😭

[vague nexus]

i have the zero point, but i use the tube ones as they block less vertically

still a nice skin tho

[frigid bramble]

……….😭😭😭😭😭

[drifting laurel]

2500rp in 1 day

my eyes are falling out

How does Respawn calculate rank at the beginning of the season? Does it go down 2 tiers like for example Diamond I to Gold I in new season?

[vague nexus]

they just drop people by 2 ranks and thats it

[digital tangle]

Big sad would have been my first

[shrewd sapphire]

deserved for playing caustic in duos

[digital tangle]

Just got fucked cause I listened to Gibby to play on down hill when a team was up top

[shrewd sapphire]

nah wait nvm your ass is on caustic duoing with a gibby i hope you get 3.95 and then die to a charge rifle

[digital tangle]

I got so sad n just got off

LMAO it was a charge rifle to

[shrewd sapphire]

L

[supple bronze]

I feel that. i got 3950 with horizon a day ago

[quaint karma]

to do what

[alpine trail]

As In Diamond 4 to gold 4 or diamond 4 to plat 2?

[supple bronze]

get a 4k on horizon.

[quaint karma]

nah i was talking to ant94

he didnt finish his sentence

[supple bronze]

hahah my bad.

[supple bronze]

by the way what sens and dpi do you use?

[quaint karma]

1600 .6

[supple bronze]

nice. I got 730 hours on kovaks still getting better over time l0

[quaint karma]

i have like 220

[supple bronze]

I had to stop months ago training and playing but im back : )

[supple bronze]

im using 31cm 360

[quaint karma]

well nows a good time to come back since new season is starting

[supple bronze]

yeah going all in on Kovaks

[supple bronze]

it will take me some time to reach full jade but all good

[quaint karma]

i dont do ranks anymore

just doing tracking now

cuz its mostly all that matters for apex

and thats why im playing kovaaks in the first place

[supple bronze]

i feel like great tracking improves overall performance in all realms of aim inn apex

[quaint karma]

yes

[supple bronze]

What is your favorite scenario for tracking>? Which one do you feel has improved your aim in apex?

[quaint karma]

hold up

KovaaKsChokingAngelicFlashbang

[vague nexus]

I think its d4 to gold 2 or somethung like that

[supple bronze]

after this game of apex ill jump in Kovaks and give it a try

[supple bronze]

Didnt find the cenario in Kovakks weird

[quaint karma]

its a playlist sharecode

[supple bronze]

o.o i tohught it was a scenario

[supple bronze]

Well playlists are not working for me right now. It just freezes kovakks.

[quaint karma]

auto balanced long strafes

cata ic long strafes

cata ic fast strafes

anything that requires being smooth, so air angelic 2

air angelic 4

i think the benchmark scenario

ground varied intermediate and advanced are actually really good

[supple bronze]

You are the Goat! Thank you for hooking me up

[quaint karma]

also probably close fast strafes invincible although you might wanna start with close fast strafes invincible easy

idk what your skill level is

[supple bronze]

Im close to Diamond.

[quaint karma]

do the easy version then

[supple bronze]

k

[supple bronze]

Auto balanced long strafes is really good. Surprised never played this cenario before

[quaint karma]

yeah its incredibly useful

[bright elm]

e1se's playlist

is pretty good

especially if you struggle with smoothness

[quaint karma]

@bright elmwhich one is that

[bright elm]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KxW46nYH3pVZoCK-dtWHISbYC41X6O_o8h5KnSFICys/edit#gid=0

[quaint karma]

• does he play it himself or is it just one of those that people make and never touch

[bright elm]

yes he plays it himself

and he's one of the top players

for precise tracking

[quaint karma]

yeah ik

[bright elm]

i've been playing it for 2 weeks

saw good improvement

from it

aside from playing other playlists in conjunction as well

[quaint karma]

might play it later

@bright elm

🤨

then what do i play

[bright elm]

like you can move on to the next level

there's tracking beginner, beginner+, and intermediate

[quaint karma]

what if my score exceeds intermediate

[bright elm]

then it's ur choice on whether if you want to continue to play it

because the scores he expects you to get

are like

pretty hard to get

[quaint karma]

target score is what you entered yourself?

or

[bright elm]

once you reach it, you won't benefit as much from it

target score is like what you should be averaging

[quaint karma]

oh

[bright elm]

but the completed score is like a perfect run

[quaint karma]

i see

[bright elm]

it's pretty poorly translated

once you read the instructions

you'll see what i mean

[wicked river]

Uh

[quaint karma]

i think ive played kindafar long strafes like once or twice

[bright elm]

[wicked river]

He wants me to boot kovaaks

Gg

[quaint karma]

havent played the other ones aside from novice smoothbot

[bright elm]

do it

[wicked river]

Shit will implode

[supple bronze]

Goated playlist

all the helpful members here. Loving this server!

[quaint karma]

@bright elmdo you know when patchnotes drop?

[bright elm]

tbh not sure

either today or tomorrow

that's what i recall from hollow's stream

[quaint karma]

well today

i meant like precise time 💀

[bright elm]

oh idk

lol

[quaint karma]

cuz i think i saw you mention something earlier

[bright elm]

OH

no i mentioned hollow's stream time 😭

[quaint karma]

oh

[bright elm]

because that's when he's going to break down the patch notes

[quaint karma]

wait when

what time

[bright elm]

tomorrow at 12pm CST

i believe

or whatever time zone he's in

idk

[quaint karma]

oh thats like an hour before season 14 drops

[bright elm]

ye

[mellow kestrel]

im unironically excited for next season

hopefully it won't be bad

changes seem promising atleast

[bright elm]

new kings canyon

[shrewd sapphire]

apex community are whiny babies

so many people dismissing the new season before it even comes out

[mellow kestrel]

yeah ik

i dont get it

[shrewd sapphire]

changes look promising, literally the only issue i even slightly have would be the 3030 buffs

[mellow kestrel]

so far the changes we're getting seem to be one of the bigger and better ones we've gotten ever

[shrewd sapphire]

other than that the season looks lit

[shrewd sapphire]

yea deadass

[bright elm]

are we talking abt apex twitter

because the majority of them have no clue what they're talking about

as they play for like 2 hours per week

[shrewd sapphire]

apex twitter

reddit (both main & alter)

their official discord

[bright elm]

apex twitter is so funny

[shrewd sapphire]

echo chambers of degenerate brainlets

i hate all those servers

[bright elm]

i think hiswattson is the most hated apex player

on twitter

every one of his tweets just gets a bunch of hate

[shrewd sapphire]

thank god i dont use apex twitter

[bright elm]

"boosted ego that you don't deserve"

[shrewd sapphire]

i only use twitter for porn

[bright elm]

"go kill yourself"

[shrewd sapphire]

:1000:

[bright elm]

"you fucking suck loser"

it's actually sad

[bright elm]

same 🤝

i mean what

[shrewd sapphire]

lol ive seen how bad apex twitter is just from

josh medina's replies

mfs in those comments need to get jobs i swear

its always the brainlet console kids calling him incompetent for not releasing crossprogression

[bright elm]

hiswattson's replies are pretty bad as well

[shrewd sapphire]

nah but at least hiswattson has some support

literally every josh tweet

its 90% hate

[bright elm]

this is a reply to this tweet

mf thinks he's entitled just because he pointed out when the team goes to sleep

😭

[teal moth]

Idc what he's doing is good

[bright elm]

more monkeys

[mellow kestrel]

pretty sure cross progression being delayed has more to do with wether or not e.g Sony agrees to it

[teal moth]

Some ppl deserve to be pubicly clowned on

[mellow kestrel]

due to like them prob missing out on purchases if ppl are going to console from PC etc

[teal moth]

like DZK

and he got fired in the end

for good reasons

games 10x better now

[mellow kestrel]

yeah true

fuck dzk

[shrewd sapphire]

nah id say its more on the tech-side

[mellow kestrel]

a bit of both probably

[shrewd sapphire]

its just compatability, the underlying engine for console/pc is quite different

[mellow kestrel]

well account stats arent directly tied to engine code

[shrewd sapphire]

account inventories are through, theyre native to origin/console

[mellow kestrel]

but yes theres probably a fair bit of technical obstacles they need to get through for it aswell

[shrewd sapphire]

its like trying to convert x amount of gold in OSRS to world of warcraft

you cant just transfer the data from one server to another

[mellow kestrel]

well yeah no its probably stored differently

than on PC/steam

[shrewd sapphire]

yea which is the biggest issue

[mellow kestrel]

shouldnt be too big of a task to "translate" the account data tho as long as Respawn gets access to it

[alpine trail]

• ranked reward distribution probably

cant be having xbox preds merge their participation badges to pc

dunno what theyll do with it

[mellow kestrel]

true

hopefully there's no cross progression for anything ranked

there shouldnt be anyways

hemlock 3 bursted through a door

😎

[teal moth]

Cross-play was a mistake

[mellow kestrel]

wow another lvl 1 pathfinder cheating his balls off in a pub

so fun man

get to last squad on a good game and just get r3'd for 225 through a wall

he was literally backtracking me

[fringe girder]

https://tenor.com/view/clueless-aware-twitch-forsen-emote-gif-25354609

[vague nexus]

imagine if all guns could shoot trough thin walls or some materials, like siege or cs

also imagine if the stupid fucking 1mm railings wouldnt block bullets

[mellow kestrel]

yeah thought about this, but as an ability

FMJ passive 💀

[mellow kestrel]

would be a good change

[proven pulsar]

@candid beacon omg its fA holly

hi

big fan

[candid beacon]

hi rail 🥰

love u

[shrewd sapphire]

anyone down for a little 1v1age

[supple bronze]

i am

[knotty silo]

just read patch notes

oh my

[supple bronze]

bad or good?

[vague nexus]

i like the new skybox for kc

so let me get this straight, if i get a 20 bomb i get a shit ton of points?

im so hyped for the new repeter

[supple bronze]

o.o

[vague nexus]

please please tell me that little pixels that are on doorways wont block my fences from placing

newcastle buffs are kinda wild

[teal moth]

Yeah they ruined the ranked system now

It's gonna be so dumb

just go for kills now

Assault Rifles

Base hipfire spread increased.

also this is a shit change

[vague nexus]

i think its fine

assault rifles were kinda too good at everything

[teal moth]

yeah but like

randomness is bad

not skill expressive

[vague nexus]

i guess you are right

but they just want people to use the right guns at the right range

[teal moth]

But like

[vague nexus]

its kinda broken if you can use a r301 as a r99

but slower

[teal moth]

i guess

Idk

i'm tryna figure out the loadout to go now

[vague nexus]

i think they could make it so that there would be a stronger recoil if you hipfire

[teal moth]

probably EVA with flat/301/peter/2x volt

[vague nexus]

Added ability to use “tap” interact prompts when they conflict with “hold” (e.g. reloading near downed teammates is now a lot more reliable on controller)

this shit

why didnt they fucking make a seperate button for revive

for pc

i have like a million buttons on my keyboard, let me use them

Crypto’s Ultimate now destroys Wattson’s Pylon.

😢

[teal moth]

the valk nerfs gonna be intresting

[gilded storm]

rip bozo valk

[teal moth]

i think it's gonna be harder to hit her

[dense lotus]

i dont get why they took valks beacon scan away

i get the other nerfs

[teal moth]

when she's flying cause there's so many slow effects instead of a constant speed

fuck valk that's why

[dense lotus]

lol

[teal moth]

all my homies hate valk

BRO

there's no shot they nerfed horizon ult

the worst ability in her kit

[dense lotus]

the +5 entry cost sucks

[teal moth]

Buff her passive or her Q or her ult

[teal moth]

no it dosen't

Legit dosen't matter

you get no diminishing returns on kp

you can legit get +700 rp games

[dense lotus]

so if i drop 5 kills off the rip and die with an entry cost of what -48 in plat 4

how does that make sense

[teal moth]

sheesh new castle big now

Bro it's plat

you're killing AI

and it's top 10 in zone 1

sometimes top 8

get good at staying alive or land uncontested

[vague nexus]

when do the patches drop?

23 hours

bruh

can only play tomorrow evening

[teal moth]

Yoo the crafter changes are big

you can rotate from a poi so fast now

can get like +5-15 seconds on rotations now

[dense lotus]

@teal moth how many points per kill is it again?

[teal moth]

Depends on your placement

starts at 1

then 5

then 10

and goes up to like 25 for 1st place

10 rp per kill for 10th place

20-16th 1 rp

[undone umbra]

some1 have a link for the patchnotes?

[teal moth]

15-10th 5

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/apex-legends/news/hunted-patch-notes

[undone umbra]

beautiful bastard^

[teal moth]

yo im glad they are reducing zone shrink times

[alpine trail]

I read the notes but i don’t get the first part pf horizon’s ult

[teal moth]

Zone 2 needs to close faster aswell

[alpine trail]

Is newt going to endure more dmg from bullets or not

[teal moth]

You can break it a lot more easily to it

[alpine trail]

Lol

[teal moth]

no it's the same

you can probably shoot it out of the air now

[alpine trail]

Imo it needs to endure more dmg

People destroy it so quickly

[dense lotus]

i agree the zone 2 is way to long

[teal moth]

i have a feelin new castle's gonna give me in-game cancer

[dense lotus]

ohya hes sick now

[alpine trail]

Magie too

[teal moth]

Yeah but his gameplay is so annoying

[dense lotus]

you can res so fast and move faster while doing it thats huge

[teal moth]

Maggie is fine

fuck gibby players

L

Yeah idk

I think it's a bad buff

cause your knocks will feel meaningless

[dense lotus]

way to much more shield strength as well they did this because nobody uses him lol

[teal moth]

le frogmange

Maggie horizon seer god comp

OH NO SEER NERFS

AHAAHAHHA

😄 🔫

So ig the new comp for sweating will legit be

[floral crag]

what seer nerf

[teal moth]

seer newcastle

and horizon or smth of your choice

THATS THE THING

[floral crag]

oh lol

[teal moth]

there's no seer nerfs

I LOOOOOOOOOVE wall hacks

[floral crag]

same

[dense lotus]

i like that everyone gets the craft materials

saves so much time

[vague nexus]

bro

do players not know to respect someones landing spot

i mark where im gonna land

and my crypto teammate just doesnt detatch from me

lands on me

i find a bow

he takes all the arrows

and just stares at me

like bruh

if he wasnot connected to me i would have just landed somewhere else

[quaint karma]

drop them off the map if they dont detach

[vague nexus]

i wish i was recording

would have been a nice clip for my insane asylum teammates compilation

[quaint karma]

i shot 2 rampage mags into a teammate doing that the other day cuz it actually annoyed me 💀

then they gave the shit they took back

[vague nexus]

another thing i hate is when people hover over the legend i want to pick, so i assume they really want it and then the dont pick it

[quaint karma]

too bad for em, not running a charity here

ill not pick a legend if someone asks nicely

but just hovering wont really get me to not pick usually

[desert temple]

seer is the worst character to have as meta in this game so y tf wont they nerf him.

[mellow kestrel]

if only

Removed bright red flash when hitting non-armored targets.

oh, huge

so RE fov = wingman fov now?

[teal moth]

how is this huge

this is legit the most irrelevant change ever

[mellow kestrel]

its not huge

idk why i said that

point was just

the RE has been like that for a long time

kinda nice having it consistent now

arc star aim slow on stick gone aswell omg

[teal moth]

yeah

good

you can probably suicide bomb ppl now

when u get stuck

gonna be funny to see clips like that

[mellow kestrel]

lmao yeah

oh damn fragment east loot buffed aswell

thank god

[arctic stone]

Dude valk got dunked on wtf

and the maggie buff holy

[teal moth]

Valk is gonna be cancer for the 1st week

until you get used to her reduced speed

just like it was with horizon

[mellow kestrel]

maggie gonna be giga cancerous

[glad nimbus]

[ashen trench]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5Yv9W6sT-c&ab_channel=Rxpiiidz owo done another ❤️

[wicked river]

Pre nerf bocek

That senti buff tho

[echo inlet]

Does anyone else use different sensitivities on different guns? like I use lower sens with wingman

[nocturne owl]

Damn selly hasnt been mentioned here in a couple months

Daily reminder that bro is one of the best apex aimers of all time

[hasty cedar]

Ranked changes

Split 1 season 13 was so fun - hope it ain’t mindless aping all teams dead round 1

[knotty silo]

With how the zone closes, you might just get 10 teams left after first zone

[mellow kestrel]

cant wait for fragment loot to not suck

[mellow kestrel]

we do a little gaming

[mellow kestrel]

I dont see the point tbh

Maybe you overflick with the wingman, id prefer fixing that over lowering my sens just cus im using a specific gun

[honest heron]

oh shit

maggie ult can destroy bubble now

she's just a hard counter now

[mellow kestrel]

https://youtu.be/N8ZUqT6Tfiw

4:54

Why is optimum so cracked 💀

[honest heron]

he's really scary to play against lol, i see him on sydney servers sometimes

[wicked river]

Sorry what

[honest heron]

it also blinds and stuns now, as intended

[wicked river]

Not like her q already zoned bubble now we just delete it

[honest heron]

well it didnt do that much

[wicked river]

It burned your eyes

Good enough

[honest heron]

because you can still play on the rear

and the q itself doesnt do a lot of damage

[wicked river]

The crafter rotation tho

[honest heron]

lmao

shared crafting materials is very nice

[wicked river]

If I see turbo in daily I'm just punting a child

[near drift]

officially deranked and ranked 6 p1/d4 times this split solo

yeah thats enough ranked for me

[honest heron]

mood

[wicked river]

Double senti when

[honest heron]

hit p2, gain 200 rp, lose it all, derank

[near drift]

i had fun tho

and actually used ingame mic

[honest heron]

yeah i stopped caring about rank towards the end

[near drift]

people are not as racist as in fortnite

[wicked river]

[raven gull]

a bit stupid question, does it happen to you in the most intense situations of slightly questioning the arm losing the pressure point? I have noticed that it often happens in the most aggressive situations, and this leads me to unnecessary additional pressure on other parts, will it go away with time and training? or is it possible that it is a desk problem?

[honest heron]

[near drift]

im going to be honest with you bro

[wicked river]

Oxy buy me good 3030 irons

[honest heron]

stop spamming in multiple channels

[wicked river]

[honest heron]

it just makes people dislike you

[near drift]

the best players dont even think about this

@raven gull just try to get it out of your head, idk

[honest heron]

no

[near drift]

which ones the good one?

[wicked river]

Fakyu

[honest heron]

bullet train

[wicked river]

Bullet train

[near drift]

unironically bout to main fuse with 3030 next split

[wicked river]

Default are ass

Care pack rampage using inventory therms tho

That'll be fun

At least it was only 2 damage increase

[raven gull]

I didn't even think about it, I noticed over time in most situations that it often happens to me, not out of fear or anything, but simply and as if my brain was hungry for a quick push, that I tend to take all the pressure off my arm and somehow it moves to the wrist

[near drift]

i dont think it will be an issue

[wicked river]

Volt lost its barrel tho

[near drift]

people would have to stack therms and then hope they get rampage

[wicked river]

fuse

[near drift]

since itl be more prominent in late game

oh yeah

fuse

[wicked river]

🗿

[honest heron]

cant wait to kamikaze people after being stuck with an arc star

[wicked river]

Forgot sticks don't slow movement

[near drift]

i had a bad habit of death griping my mouse when i was using ARs back when i started in s11, only thing that helped me fix it was well

intentionally trying to

honestly thats all you can do ig

[wicked river]

Why'd they make stick do 10 damage tho

[near drift]

no clue

aim slow gone too

not even worth tryna stick anymore

[wicked river]

Like the explosion already fucks your career

[near drift]

i guess this is always a good thing

[honest heron]

getting stuck was ggs unless you were wraith

[wicked river]

I'm surprised they didn't change it to blindness

[honest heron]

because you cant even fight

[raven gull]

mhh I will try, I think as you say it is a mental thing, that I get caught up in the heat and simply take off the pressure, I should look for a way to stay calm, focused and with the same kind of pressure

[wicked river]

Still does 280 armor damage tho

[near drift]

woah this is a thing?

[wicked river]

Arcs do 4x damage to evo

But get shield gated

Stick used to do 40 because of that but L moment for that

Vert nades still exist tho

[proven pulsar]

gone on stick, not on explosion

you just gotta get the stick, hide for 1 sec and then peek again

still gonna be a free knock on most chances, but it will feel 'more fair' if that makes any sense

[honest heron]

At least now you have a chance to fight back

[wicked river]

No movement or aim slow on stick

If you stick someone they're probably gonna wkey your ass

[obsidian lintel]

Gonna hit rookie I today

[honest heron]

epic

[wicked river]

Do I become a funni vantage main with longbow wingman

Or senti

Just noticed that boosted got kept and also downtiered like what the fuck

And that skullpiercer guns didn't get hsd nerfs

[wicked river]

Incomprehensibly/10

[teal moth]

Not if they sprint at you

[wicked river]

If it's point blank stick the floor

Or 3 man rail the fuck out of them which makes the stick irrelevant

[mellow kestrel]

I love optimum

[quaint karma]

so when is the patch dropping

in 5h?

[wicked river]

Soontm

[vague nexus]

5h 3 minutes

[shrewd sapphire]

as an arena player

terrible

literally do not play if you value your sanity

[copper forge]

hope u like mozam 3v3 all game or team mates doing 200 dmg in 7 rounds not afk

[quaint karma]

lets be real here, thats not really what happens ALL the time

and in unranked arenas i dont see that many mozams

[copper forge]

does in ranked

every game can confirm it needs nerf

[still ingot]

some1 to grind winstreak in arena??

[mellow kestrel]

just realized

they never said anything about magsize for the volt going back on the ground

old purple/gold mag was 26, but CP volt has 28

what if 💀

[vague nexus]

oh right, the beamer is back on the ground

[quaint karma]

🤨

its respawn, they probably forgot to put it in the notes

considering no one seems to have proofread the patchnotes

[mellow kestrel]

yeah we'll just have to see ig

[mellow kestrel]

https://tenor.com/view/how-to-train-your-dragon-gif-23356423

^me when picking up volt off the ground in a few hrs

[mellow kestrel]

sadge

[vague nexus]

rip

[silver flax]

hey does anyone know the best way to get coaching? I have DMd a few of the coaches but not much luck

[vague nexus]

i would just wait

they are probably busy

also, why are you looking for a coach?

[silver flax]

just want to get better. been hardstuck plat haha

p2-p3 every season

[vague nexus]

since when?

[silver flax]

what do you mean? i have been playing for a while. like 3 years. but a lot more ove rpast year

[vague nexus]

if you were able to reach plat 2 then you can get to diamond no problem, just play a bit more

for masters, its a little harder

[silver flax]

i do A LOT of solo q tbh and that probably hurts me haha

too much solo q haha

[vague nexus]

soloq is hard, but its not the reason of being stuck in plat

what rank are you this season

[silver flax]

was p2 but solo q'd back to p4 haha

[vague nexus]

im not a coach, but if you send me some videos of your full games, i can maybe give you a couple of pointers

[silver flax]

what rank are you? just curious

[vague nexus]

im d4 rn

[bright elm]

@silver flax best way to get better is to just play with other players who are better than you

you can just learn from them

[vague nexus]

or that

[silver flax]

my friends list is sparse haha

[vague nexus]

or watch hal or other pros

and try to mimic what they do

[silver flax]

i watch hal, nickmercs, and wattson a decent amount too

[teal moth]

Nickmercs

[silver flax]

nick is goated 😄 haha

[vague nexus]

mande did soloq to masters sniper only this season

[teal moth]

I don't think watching ppl like hal or wattson does anything

[bright elm]

watching good people doesn't do anything

[teal moth]

cause those guys are so good they can effortlessly rank up

Ig if you study their vods

[bright elm]

unless you're actively thinking about why decisions are made

it's better to just play the game yourself

[teal moth]

but you're not gonna bring the pro play style into ranked

[vague nexus]

well if you just watch them and dont try and learn from what they do, then it will be useless

[bright elm]

isn't that how it is in ranked

lol

i haven't played ranked since the rp changhe

but that's what everyone said it was like

scuffed version

[teal moth]

No you just run at people

[vague nexus]

pro play in ranked is landing same spot every time and doing the same rotations

[teal moth]

Ig in masters i'd be semi competitive

if it were only masters lobbies

but what's the point of me respecting any team when there's an 80% chance they are pisslow diamonds

and even if i get 3rded if i can clean wipe it's just another fight

If you're stuck plat 4 idk just play arenas or smth

[vague nexus]

or rewatch your vods

[teal moth]

I mean realistically if you're stuck plat 4 you legit are doing nothing right

so you need to just rethink the way you're approaching the game

[vague nexus]

and try to figure out what youre doing wrong

[teal moth]

Honestly true

[vague nexus]

i kinda use to suck a few seasons ago

[teal moth]

But even that is hard cause how are you gonna understand what you did wrong

you can't just assume death = bad

[vague nexus]

started watcing my vods and gotten a lot better at positioning

[teal moth]

You can die 5 minutes before you die and not realize it

[vague nexus]

yeah, there is a lot of rng in br games

[teal moth]

Wouldn't say it's RNG unless you contest and land on p2020's

[vague nexus]

you cant predict when someone is gonna rotate on your ass

[teal moth]

Yes you can

You "can't" predict when someone is gonna peek an angle in valorant

yet there's timings

Legit basic pattern recognition if i land same poi 100 times i'll have a folder of possible scenarios my brain is gonna be aware of

[vague nexus]

youre right

[bright elm]

folder of possible scenarios does not equal you can pinpoint the exact timing on when someone will push you

it's still a bit of rng

because you're guessing

based on experiences

from past games

[vague nexus]

but in lower ranks sometimes squads land in a close poi and just rotate after picking up 1 gun to 3rd, sometimes they dont rotate at all

[teal moth]

Yeah but there's no harm in having that knowledge

I've randomly commed many times that there's probably a team coming from xyz direction

50% of the time im right

50% of the time im wrong

If i'm wrong oh well dosen't matter

if im right easy fight

[silver flax]

well i guess if anyone wants to play a littel i am always down

[teal moth]

expect the worst outcome

[alpine trail]

not just lower ranks people int like that in high ranks too

[vague nexus]

idk, in diamond lobbies it was a little easier to predict rotations

plat and bellow its all ai

[alpine trail]

dia players are ai too

[vague nexus]

idk i guess im ai too

[alpine trail]

nope

unless you compare yourself to the average d4 who is playing on 40inch tv with controller watching nickmercs on ipad

[teal moth]

NA moment

[vague nexus]

cause i got to d3, but just gave up, cause i was getting plats on my team for whatever reason

[silver flax]

so i take it as no one wants to play 😦 haha

[teal moth]

yeah well

[vague nexus]

what region are you from

[alpine trail]

new update drops in like 40 mins no point in playing

[teal moth]

the season ends in 40 mintes dude

[vague nexus]

@silver flax

[teal moth]

who is gonna wanna play

[silver flax]

so, you can still play haha

[silver flax]

from NA

[alpine trail]

apex stale rn

[vague nexus]

darn

[alpine trail]

new update better be good

[silver flax]

6 minutes left

[alpine trail]

only 6 mins for ranked preseason

[silver flax]

yep

[silver flax]

if anyone wants to add me Shtanksauce

[vague nexus]

you are lvl 218?

[silver flax]

yes sir

i used to play on xbox and then moved over to PC about a year ago or so

[alpine trail]

wonder if they’re gonna reset retrospective levels on tracker sites

[vague nexus]

you comfortable on mnk or do you use a roller

[silver flax]

mnk

i have a roller too tho haha

but i play mnk like 99.9% of the time

[alpine trail]

controller is fun in this game if you play it once a month

[vague nexus]

true 💀

[silver flax]

i wonder if Hal is sticking with controller.

[alpine trail]

tbh it’s a controller game sadly

won’t change anytime soon

almost everyone i played with was controller

was like finding a rare species to find pred mnk player who i didn’t know already

[silver flax]

wattson is the best player and he is mnk

[vague nexus]

isint it like more than 50% of the player base on a roller?

[alpine trail]

more than 50

[vague nexus]

💀

[alpine trail]

mnk higher skill ceiling but doesn’t matter when everyone is casual in apex

and controller is just straight up easier

[violet sphinx]

what are some good legends for ranked this season when duoing with a horizon main

since i main wraith and wraith isnt good in ranked

[alpine trail]

she’s fine

[silver flax]

Seer babyyyyyy

[vague nexus]

she is fine

[violet sphinx]

im just not liking her in general rn

[vague nexus]

path is pretty good

[alpine trail]

learn path he’s fun

[violet sphinx]

im thinking maybe bloodhound for ranked

[alpine trail]

lol we in sync

[vague nexus]

watson is great as well

xd

[violet sphinx]

idk for ranked tho

[alpine trail]

seer is better than bh in every way

but bh is easier

[violet sphinx]

cause of hitbox

ill try seer then

[vague nexus]

bh ult is really op if you can beam people

[violet sphinx]

since me and my irl friend want to grind to diamond

[vague nexus]

just adad on them at the speed of light

[violet sphinx]

im inconsistent asf with my beams

[alpine trail]

i love bubble fighting with bh ult

[violet sphinx]

since apex isnt my main game rn

ill prob just play seer

[vague nexus]

you can aslo see trough the stupid horizon ult

[violet sphinx]

also what loadouts will prob be good

im thinking volt and 3030 for this season since volts back

[bright elm]

a lot of loadouts

[vague nexus]

anything you like

[bright elm]

will be viable

[alpine trail]

just play whatever guns u enjoy

[violet sphinx]

yeah seems like it

[silver flax]

Boomstick.....do you play with a dot on your screen? lmao

[bright elm]

im most likely going to be running r3/flatline + volt

or volt + pk

[alpine trail]

volt+wingman for me

[vague nexus]

not anymore

too lazy to turn it on

[violet sphinx]

i like that but i need smth to deal with all the annoying pokers

im rly good with guns like 3030 for some reason too and i love the volt

[bright elm]

just jitter aim

[alpine trail]

3030 is gonna be nuts

[violet sphinx]

i actually have hope for this season

[alpine trail]

105 hs hammer points

iirc

[bright elm]

im thinknig 3030 is going to be hard meta

[violet sphinx]

yep

[alpine trail]

skulpiercer

[vague nexus]

im soo hyped for the scout boing ground loot

[alpine trail]

not hammer

[violet sphinx]

dual loader + skullpiercer

[vague nexus]

but i want to try out the skull 30 30

[bright elm]

you can have two hop ups right

[alpine trail]

it’s so bad ur trippin

i pick it up off drop

die to p20

[bright elm]

skill issue

[vague nexus]

im really good with it

bow too

[alpine trail]

not skill issue gun issue

bad off drop

[vague nexus]

off drop its meh

but im patient with these guns

[alpine trail]

yea if you’re good w bow ur gonna b good with all long range wraps

weps *

i’m ass with it legit my worst gun

4k hours and i’ve used it. like 10 times

[vague nexus]

i hate the longbow tho cause the bulltes weight like a ton

they drop wayy too soon

[alpine trail]

i actually like longbow

more than g7

[vague nexus]

idk

i got 138 on the scout of action thing

so im soo used to it rn

[alpine trail]

is that good idk what the wr scores are

i got 131 when it came out and never played it again

[vague nexus]

wr is like 165

im in the top 1000

[alpine trail]

goddam

[vague nexus]

but most of the points are cheated

[alpine trail]

yea my friend has 155 from using 2 scouts lol

i made fun of him for it

[vague nexus]

cause the theoretical max is like 164

wr is 172 rn

i got to 137 with 2 scouts

[viscid ridge]

my scout of action pr is 147

[vague nexus]

then trained my ass off to get to 138

[alpine trail]

maybe i should try it again

lowkey thought the scores didnt submit anymore

[vague nexus]

its a little different in the actual game

[alpine trail]

peep the smoke show

[vague nexus]

this dude has 2 spots lmao

[alpine trail]

lol whats the point even

[vague nexus]

flex

[alpine trail]

bro has 34k kills on path and hes never been above plat in ranked

wtf is wrong with him

[vague nexus]

how do you know that?

i just see that he doesnt show his badges

[alpine trail]

just assuming, his tracker.gg goes to april and p1 peak

sorry he hit d4 and dropped out fairly quickly

the goat

[vague nexus]

does the site track well?

[alpine trail]

tracker.gg tracks whenever your profile is visited and apexstatus tracks pretty well

tracker.gg is ass compared to it though

[honest heron]

Patch day lads

Drops in like an hour right

[alpine trail]

10 mins or so

[honest heron]

Oh shid

I'm actually pretty excited for the new season for the first time in a while

Lots of big changes

[vague nexus]

im just happt for the new ground loot

[honest heron]

Hopefully it will be as fun as S11

[vague nexus]

and really wana try out the new laser

[silver flax]

what are they putting on replicator or is it rotating?

scout and volt on ground?

[vague nexus]

yeah

[honest heron]

Devo and re-45

[alpine trail]

devo re45 hammers

yea

[fringe girder]

yep im only happy for the groun dloot s13 ground loot is horrible

[alpine trail]

past 2 seasons have been pretty ass in general won’t lie

[honest heron]

Well

[alpine trail]

this one seems more promising

[honest heron]

Yeah sort of

Ranked this season was a lot of fun

But that's it

[alpine trail]

i quit ranked on apex it’s not worth it past master

[honest heron]

S12 was a snoozefest aside from the return of Olympus

[alpine trail]

valo for ranked apex for casual

[honest heron]

Well I'm not good enough to reach master anyway

So I had fun improving

[alpine trail]

that’s good, i think ranked will be a bit better than this split looking at the changes

[honest heron]

Yeah

Despite all it's problems it pushed my skill significantly higher than just playing pubs did

So I see it as a success

[alpine trail]

yeah pubs will only improve your mechanics, you’re not gonna learn any gamesense from a lobby of people autopiloting

[honest heron]

I hope it doesn't turn into a kill race again, S12 was so boring

[alpine trail]

indeed i had to play 1k ranked games to maintain pred

too many

was just whoever played the most

[honest heron]

If they fix mm then this new system could work

[violet sphinx]

how hard is diamond to get now

[alpine trail]

i think playerbase at high elo isn’t good enough

[honest heron]

But if you guys are just gonna be farming plats again it doesn't even matter

[alpine trail]

diamond is easy this split

[fringe girder]

not hard at all

[honest heron]

I don't think it's easy

[violet sphinx]

alr cause thats what im trying to grind for

[honest heron]

But if you've reached pred before of course you'll think it's easy

[fringe girder]

i havent pushed pass diamond since i got it been playing val alot recently

[alpine trail]

my friend with 60 hours got d4 this split

[fringe girder]

but reaching diamond is fine

[honest heron]

I don't think it was easy but it wasn't terribly difficult

[alpine trail]

so i think it can’t be super hard

last split was a bit harder

[honest heron]

Well it was way easier than last split

[quaint karma]

when is patch dropping

[honest heron]

I would agree though, there isn't a significant spike in skill until master

[quaint karma]

2 minutes left

[honest heron]

Like

[violet sphinx]

2m

[alpine trail]

it drops at like :02

[honest heron]

This is the first season I took it seriously, and I am not a good player (nosh can confirm)

And I was keeping up with diamonds

[fringe girder]

i couldnt take this season serious at all

[bright elm]

2 MIORE MINUTES

GUYS

[teal moth]

welp time to juice on coffee

[fringe girder]

storm point 😴

[bright elm]

[mellow kestrel]

@bright elm LETS GO

[alpine trail]

master s14 easy

[bright elm]

im abt to bust

[honest heron]

If I have time to play kekw

[vague nexus]

i wonder how big the patch is gonna be

[honest heron]

And I have friends

[alpine trail]

😔

[honest heron]

Fuck soloq

[silver flax]

soloq does suck

[vague nexus]

sis is downloading shit

[alpine trail]

solo just miserable

not worth it

[silver flax]

AGREED.

[vague nexus]

im gonna go to an insane asylum while trying to reach masters solo

[silver flax]

i need peeps to play with

[mellow kestrel]

just carry 4head

just dont die?

[honest heron]

At least new system will make it ez to fly thru low elo

[mellow kestrel]

just win?

[fringe girder]

i soloqd masters for 6 seasons

[honest heron]

Even easier than before

[alpine trail]

i did solo master in s7 and never did it again since

[bright elm]

ITS OUT

1:00

[fringe girder]

what ever season it is now i dont think its good to solo

[honest heron]

It's not out yet

[silver flax]

i partially play this game for fun and playing with a squad is way more fun haha

[bright elm]

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!

[honest heron]

It takes time to push it

[bright elm]

i need it now.

[alpine trail]

^

[honest heron]

I need you now

[teal moth]

Idk i tought the new ranked system was gonna turn ranked into scrims

but i guess the skill gap even in the ranks is just too big

[alpine trail]

ranked will never ever be close to scrims

[honest heron]

Not quite lmao

You need 2 things

Another rank, and way more players playing ranked

[mellow kestrel]

gotta love random 2x wingman hs

[bright elm]

😳

[alpine trail]

updates out on NA now

download time

15.11gb

[honest heron]

Gap between diamond and master is too big currently

[mellow kestrel]

diamond has no value

[honest heron]

Whenever I was in master/pred lobbies I stood no chance, the difference in skill is absurd

[mellow kestrel]

it hasnt had any for a while

would be nice to see that change

[alpine trail]

it has neverh ad any

[mellow kestrel]

yep

[alpine trail]

but its fine to be proud of it

[honest heron]

@quaint karma and I had to 2v3 in a pred lobby cos our 3rd went afk the whole game

It was epic

[mellow kestrel]

i didnt play ranked s1-4 or so

so i wasnt sure

[teal moth]

bro there's like another 50k or 100k ppl like you

[alpine trail]

no ranked in s1

[teal moth]

if you're diamond

[violet sphinx]

bruh 15gb

[alpine trail]

but rest were pretty easy

[teal moth]

unless you're like top 100 there's nothing to be proud of

[mellow kestrel]

update out?

for you?

[alpine trail]

top100 aint shit unless u hold it until end of season

[violet sphinx]

yes

just close steam through task manager

[honest heron]

That's a weird mentality to have, not gonna lie

[teal moth]

It's not

[honest heron]

But if it helps you improve so be it

[violet sphinx]

i did that and had an update queued

[honest heron]

No it really is

[teal moth]

It's realistic
