apex im just like ahhhhhhaoskdfhjal;ksedfja i cant fucking SEEE this guy

#

but r5 i dont care

#

so im not nitpicking every frame drop as an excuse lmao

fervent cliff
#

Also I’m tired af of solo queueing so if anyone wants to queue (not rn about to sleep), lmk currently D4

dusky summit
#

u gotta make sure to update the sdk

#

make sure u cap ur fps at below 180

#

and update sdk

#

as well

#

yea its easy to not care in r5

#

and just play for fun

fervent cliff
#

Hmm, I’ll update and cap fps then, hopefully it fixes it

dusky summit
#

for me the game feels very fine

#

cl_showfps 1

#

in console

#

use tilde to open

#

u can also add it to autoexec.cfg in platform/cfg/autoexec.cfg

#

kk

dusky summit
#

is someone on r5 by any chance or can go on

#

to test if they can join the servers

placid root
#

How big is the older version of Apex which is used for r5?

Y'all have any guides covering apex gameplay. Wanna try maining it compared to trash ash valorant

#

I play it at times (have 4 hrs total rn lol) and I'd wanna know a lot more about this game

chilly dawn
#

Google some on YouTube

#

there are plenty

sharp nova
#

dont think youll really find guides about 'gameplay'

#

play the game, watch good people you enjoy play the game

#

and ull pick it up pretty fast

proven pulsar
#

the best way to improve gameplay is watching pros and understanding what they do

#

but that might be a bit too much for you right now

wild jasper
#

Im enjoying it so far like Im trying to 1v2 everyone lmfao but yeah i dont understand some mechanics and abilities

#

Any ytubers yall recommend?

#

And btw does fps on landing shit?

proven pulsar
dusky summit
#

you won't find anything better

#

this is like voltaic but apex

wild jasper
#

Thanks guy fr ❤️

dusky summit
#

anyone else getting blurred vision?

wintry cypress
#

felt that back in s12

#

but i feel like u would just need to get better at that point

#

he makes a good point though

proven pulsar
#

Didn't have problem getting to masters on main account, challenging enough

#

Been playing on smurf diamond lobbies without a single current master/pred

fervent cliff
#

I hit Diamond yesterday and lobbies have been kinda normal?

#

Last I played was season 8 and the game quality doesn’t seem significantly worse or better than back then

#

I noticed solo-q being rougher but I assume that is just more players are stacking and actually have comms

fleet oak
#

Hello there. Been along time I did not talk in here.

#

I had quit and came back because of long gaming pause caused by...life

#

How is everybody doing with Apex and their aim?

quaint karma
#

outstanding

alpine trail
#

Is it normal that when I set sensitivity to 0.77, then it is automatically set to 0.7? Like 0.70 instead of 0.77??

honest heron
#

Yes you can't set precise numbers with the in game slider, you have to do it in a config

alpine trail
#

Do I have to change it in the config file? And mark it as read only??

night plume
#

just change in normal game file then mark it as read only

alpine trail
night plume
#

if u put it on read only it’ll look like 0.7 but it’s 0.77

#

that’s how it was for me at least when i used a specific decimal sens like that

alpine trail
#

What sense do you use?

devout tusk
#

You dont need read only, and you can type in .77 in game, if you want more decimals you need to edit the file though

#

Menu just shows 1 for some reason

#

I use .82 and it shows .8, but if i open the file it says .82

#

And it is not read only

chilly dawn
#

the menu rounds the value

proven pulsar
#

no clue why i was adsing before every shot

#

Hello, i have a question, the bunny hop is useful or not anymore ?

wicked river
#

Still useful in the recent 3

#

Mwii it still exists I think

dusky summit
#

my r5 servers were updated with all chat on now

#

quite incredible

Astounding news

dusky summit
frigid bramble
#

why do some people have 1khrs in kovaaks, but in apex still have super shaky aim?

#

is it because thats how they prefer to aim because idk, thats their style? or would you say its because its hard for them to translate their hours of kovaaks into a game, apex?

dusky summit
#

some people just "jitter" in games like apex or its just their style

twilit minnow
#

Can also be style

frigid bramble
#

people may just be grinding scores and mindlessly tracking / flicking without the thought of improvement other than a score

twilit minnow
#

Yeah it's far too common for people to get hooked on the wrong things and make little to no progress even with hundreds of hours in aim trainers

#

@wintry cypress holy shit, you're complete master?

#

I never even noticed 💀

wintry cypress
placid root
#

Ah

#

Didn't know there was a difference

#

I thought it only counted if it was complete

wintry cypress
#

Complete is all scens in each category+movement scens

placid root
#

buh

wintry cypress
#

Yeah

#

All i know is that the new air scen is way too easy to get master on LMAO

placid root
#

lol

wintry cypress
#

If it wasnt for that id be master like a week later

placid root
#

I kinda tried grinding a movement/tracking scenario but saw no improvement after a while

#

platoed at a top 0.9% score

#

💀

wintry cypress
#

SHEESH

#

Built diff

placid root
#

Nah

#

💀

#

I recently noticed that a muscle on my forearm has gotten beefed up due to me kinda holding the mouse up from the mousepad for better glide

turbid condor
#

@wintry cypress

#

yo you got masters now

wintry cypress
turbid condor
#

Nice

#

I'm still only like

#

play

#

plat dia

#

I dont play anymore 😭

#

I should cause new pad tbo

placid root
#

I'm still on my Skypad 2.0

turbid condor
#

shesssg

#

that's an ac2

#

came the other day

#

currently have books on it tryna flatten it down 💀

wintry cypress
#

yeah acs do that lmao

#

kind of a pain

wintry cypress
#

like hauntr has

#

like bro

#

thats so sick

placid root
#

bruh

#

I have a plain black one

#

because my entire setup is black

wintry cypress
#

imma just get a white when i do get one

#

i like some contrast

#

my ac+ is white too

#

tho im not using it anymore

#

too small and doesnt stick to my desk

#

also has raised stitched edges which is annoying af

#

other than that a good ass pad

placid root
#

idk bro, after switching to my pad, I can't go back

#

I tried to use the CoolerMaster MP510 and an Aorus AMP500, some generic cloth pad and none of them really worked for me for some reason

bright elm
#

x2 mini + otsu xsoft

wintry cypress
#

doesnt otsu have issues

twilit minnow
#

Also using Skypad, but 3.0

#

Really nice

wintry cypress
#

i want

turbid condor
#

my ac2 has stitched but it's not raised

#

rubber base tho

#

so hopefully it doesn't wear down

#

but rn I have ac2 and gpro x

wintry cypress
#

i hope ur rubber base sticks

#

my ac+ white didnt at all

turbid condor
#

it's fine rn

#

ac2 is newer

#

so they probably like

#

inrpvoed it

#

improved

wintry cypress
#

i hope so yea

bright elm
#

1 year my otsu still going strong

#

ur thinking of the original otsu

#

before they fixed the issues

wintry cypress
#

wait they made a new version?

#

BIG

bright elm
#

yea

wintry cypress
#

i might actually get an otsu then

bright elm
#

like a while ago

wintry cypress
#

zero is just a tad bit too slow for my liking i think

#

idk

bright elm
#

i wanna get a zero because i play val now but

#

i dont think ill get one until like april

#

or whenever uni ends

#

for summer

wintry cypress
bright elm
#

not really

#

it lasted longer than my hien

#

in terms of not slowing down

#

regardless

#

cloth pads are inevitably going to slow down

#

doesn't bother me

wintry cypress
#

i mean yeah

bright elm
#

so until it turns into a mud pad, im going to keep using it

wintry cypress
#

but there were also inconsitensies in the pad with wearing or smth i thought

devout tusk
#

are the na voltaic servers ever alive

#

in r5

wintry cypress
#

they should be up yea

devout tusk
#

they always 0 people in there tho

wintry cypress
#

really?

#

last time i played there were a ton of ppl in there

#

was in the evening tho

devout tusk
#

Trying to learn how to do superglides

the moment I try learning the timing, I get 200-300 tries without a superglide 💀

#

and the moment I look away and do random timing, I superglide like 3 times in a row

What would you guys consider a good score to work towards on the strafing dummies in flowstate? Normal strafe speed white armor and wingman

tepid salmon
#

this gun run shit is boring bruh

dusky summit
#

r5 better

tepid salmon
#

yeah

#

Spoilt cause of r5 lmao

#

also what is it with respawn and not liking health on kill?

dusky summit
#

no clue

little verge
#

Same reason why they still force team modes on shit like gun run.

#

Absolutely out of touch with their core playerbase.

wintry cypress

bruh

Gotta practice that rotation bro

Getting ready to go pro in MW2

homies name is literally ''controllertime''

also someone take chargerifle out of gun game PLS

#

its so painful to use LMAO

#

Well it's OK, Respawn said they're really big into competitive integrity right? Surely they'll fix it.

#

Play a trios match and it's suddenly ALGS. 5 knocks but only 1 kill because every fight people just crossfired us instead of the knocked team and let them reset over and over. People playing for wins in pubs is just cringe AF.

#

1500 damage match with one kill lol.

native nimbus
#

might be a placebo, but looks like r5 ffa is paying off

white thicket
#

Wait did registration for algs year 3 close?

alpine trail
#

is that a new mode?

#

i haven’t read parchnotes

#

patch

#

sick

#

thought it was r5 until the names

#

lmao

#

idk why but it didn’t hit me that u had skins

#

just updated my game, is the UI dev smoking crack?

native nimbus
alpine trail
#

why is it like this

native nimbus
carmine viper
#

gun run not as fun as r5 but it's a start

random hamlet
#

did roller tap strafe configs get removed? my friend is saying his isnt working

wintry cypress
#

I dont even wanna play normal apex even tho they just launched a new gamemode LMAO

alpine trail
#

these new heal animations kinda cool ngl

wintry cypress
#

Wait what?

alpine trail
#

yeah its not in the patch notes lol

wintry cypress
#

Wtf that actually looks so scuffed LMAO

tardy escarp

#

i feel like theyre unfinished

tardy escarp
#

taxi use middle cross hair

#

lol

alpine trail
#

like an accidental update

wintry cypress
#

Yeah

rose raptor
#

the new pred badges

#

are actually pretty nice

wintry cypress
#

I mean the animation while its rolling is fine, but when they whip it out just looks sooo bad

#

Lmao

rose raptor
#

i like masters badge for this season than pred actually

alpine trail
#

ya

alpine trail
#

meh

rose raptor
#

the masters is nice af idc

#

better than the pred

alpine trail
#

i could never use masta badge

rose raptor
#

are u pred this ss morgan

alpine trail
#

nah i havent played ranked this season

#

dont rly play now

rose raptor
#

next split?

alpine trail
#

nah its sp

rose raptor
#

TB

#

looking forward to divided moon tho

#

yall saw the teaser?

alpine trail
#

yea shud be pretty good, i think horizon heirloom 100% gonna drop too

#

because of theme

rose raptor
#

cool teaser

#

shows a lot of the map

#
  • the zipline travel system
alpine trail
#

some parts of the map reminds me of a game i used to play

#

tribes ascend

#

not as flashy as stormpoint looked in teasers doe

wintry cypress
#

Omg

alpine trail
#

it deserved better

#

😔

#

hirez worst game studio ever

wintry cypress
#

Idek what happened to it

#

I was like 12 or 13 or smth

#

I was also playing planetside 2

#

And i fucking sucked

alpine trail
#

tldr they just kept making stupid balance changes and then just gave up on the game

#

planetside 2 is a throwback lmao

#

i had all the free shooters downloaded back then 😈

wintry cypress
#

Fr

#

U played blacklight retribution?

#

That was prob my first shooter on mnk that i was somewhat decent at

alpine trail
#

yes omg

#

that game was so fun back then

toxic magnet
#

anyone getting banned on apex i was just watching a streamer friend of mine and he got banned outta nowhere

alpine trail
#

i played the first blacklight too when i was a kid, i think it was only on console

#

are u sure he isnt a cheater

toxic magnet
#

anything happen with you guys since the new patch?

toxic magnet
alpine trail
#

that doesnt mean anything sadly

#

but yeah

#

its possible that its false

toxic magnet
#

im almost 1000 percent certain he is real

#

former rank 1 arena pred and hes got mulitple heirlooms aint no way he gunna cheat on an acc with that much money invested

alpine trail
#

former rank 1?

#

who is it

#

mod?

toxic magnet
#

StepBroCy

alpine trail
#

oh

#

yeah hes legit

toxic magnet
#

Obey Cypher

#

he just got banned

#

im in shock

alpine trail
#

easyanticheat did update today i think bc i had to give it admin perms again

#

wonder what couldve caused it, that rly sucks

#

itll get removed tho

toxic magnet
#

maybe

#

i hope so

alpine trail
#

those bans get removed 99% of the time dw

toxic magnet
#

i hope so too

alpine trail
#

most ppl who say otherwise are just damage control for cheating

toxic magnet
#

thats true

unborn token
#

Hello

#

After 2 days of toggle ads aim has been very on pt

#

Even tho no one asked me

#

😦

toxic magnet
#

my acc should be safe not played this update

unborn token
#

Anyway how is everyone

toxic magnet
unborn token
toxic magnet
#

i always have played on hold to aim

unborn token
#

It's preference but it's better imo

alpine trail
#

completely preference, i can beam with smgs on toggle but my shotgun/wingman are dogshit lmao

unborn token
#

You don't put as much force aiming u have more or so freedom w recoil etc

alpine trail
#

double clicking right mouse w pk feels weird

unborn token
#

A no I mean

#

Not wing I read it wornt

#

Wrong

#

Shotguns on toggle r extremely

#

Handicapped

#

I beam on both but I have 3 fingers on my mouse and 2 r on the ads button so I kinda put way too much pressure when adsing

#

And it fucks my aim

alpine trail
#

fair

unborn token
#

So I switched back to toggle

#

Like my recoil just sucks

alpine trail
#

makes sense, i play 1-3-1 so hold is alright for me personally

unborn token
#

Bc of the force I put on the mouse

#

I think 131 is the same as mine

#

But I just have it a bit diff

#

Still figuring that out

alpine trail
#

not if two are on right ads, i have my middle finger on scroll at all times

unborn token
#

Hold was fine for the most part don't get me wrong but at some pts it felt like I had less control

unborn token
#

I have it on scroll too

#

But sometimes when I don't use scroll I keep it on the ads

#

But right next to scroll

#

If that makes sense

alpine trail
#

yea

unborn token
#

In kinda getting used to the shotguns atm

#

Although still I haven't seen a downgrade

#

It just feels a bit restricted

#

On what u can do

white thicket
#

I swear navigating their resources is so annoying

#

Also do you think I should sign up with some friends who are diamond and I play with or randoms

#

The thing is those friends that I play with don't play ranked the way I like

#

They take it really casually and I'm fine with that but

native nimbus
#

uhhh... are you eu or na?

white thicket
#

As a team we can't even win a diamond game together

#

Na

native nimbus
#

fugg

white thicket
#

Idk they are good players but do stupid stuff

#

Like being impatiently and dropping instantly

native nimbus
#

i'd say go with people u have good vibes

white thicket
#

Like I don't want to always land map room and get thirded by artillery

#

Yeah we have good vibes but I've expressed my concerns before

#

And my normal teammates for other tourney's are eu

#

So idk what I'm going to do

native nimbus
#

well don't count ranked as a way to value your team

alpine trail
#

eu->na and vice versa is completely playable

native nimbus
#

i suggest u to get into some scrims

white thicket
#

I thought in algs

#

They have to be all one region

native nimbus
#

and see if they play better in a more serious enviroment

alpine trail
#

ohg i tunnel visioned ur messages i thought yall talking ab ranked lol

white thicket
#

Nah mb

alpine trail
#

im not sure how the algs rules work but yeah it would make sense that all teammates have to be from the same region

white thicket
alpine trail
#

although if youre only playign groups you could just vpn theoretically

unborn token
#

What did I miss

white thicket
#

They play off meta characters and we don't have good comms

unborn token
#

U guys scrim?

white thicket
#

It's just like 3 of us individually playing really aggro

#

No not this team

#

My scrim team is EU

#

I mainly participate in solo scrims though

unborn token
#

Then what other team

#

Damn why

white thicket
#

I'm better solo and I win a lot lol

#

I meant like solo tourney's

#

Not solo in squads

unborn token
#

Ah

#

I saw smth Abt you playing with ppl that take it casually

#

Is that you main team or

#

I assume not

white thicket
#

No those are my friends

#

But they are na

#

My main team is eu

#

So I can't compete with them in algs

unborn token
#

Makes sense

#

You and ur eu team scrim regularly?

native nimbus
#

Have you tried looking in battlecord for team looking for algs?

#

its a good start imo

unborn token
#

Vnm>

white thicket
#

Monthly we scrim but started in July and haven't gone very far

unborn token
#

I'd say vnm is better

white thicket
#

I'm looking for better teammates

native nimbus
#

yeah or vnm is good too

white thicket
#

They were season 12 diamond lol and are not good

unborn token
#

You scrim in cgl or vnm

white thicket
#

But they listen well

#

Looking to scrim vnm

unborn token
#

Both splits

white thicket
#

We've done some casual scrims with no prize pools rn

unborn token
#

I never got master:(

unborn token
white thicket
#

Oh sad didn't mean to call out

unborn token
#

Better scrim vnm yeah

white thicket
#

But yeah mechanically I mean they are not diamond rn

unborn token
#

I'm also lft at this pt

#

My team doesn't play very consistently due to external factors

#

And pretty much we haven't scrimed at all

white thicket
#

One doesn't ads and the other is like iron in terms of voltaic aim

#

But he has amazing game sense

unborn token
#

Tried out with some dudes but they won't pick me up

#

They want a better than them type of plater

#

Player

native nimbus
#

if i was younger and unemployed i would try algs blobdead

unborn token
#

Even tho we placed 6th in first group

#

With good teams

white thicket
#

Yeah so if we win a team fight

unborn token
#

I mean the game at that level isn't just about mechanics

white thicket
#

It'll be like 800 damage from me lmao

unborn token
#

I see

white thicket
#

True but there is many times

unborn token
#

Yeah ik wym

#

Dw

white thicket
#

Where we get rolled because of mechanics

unborn token
#

Yeah I know

white thicket
#

Like we'll have god spot and should win

unborn token
#

Individual 1v1s

#

Yeah I get it

#

There was a point in scrims where I rolled a kid with a pk

#

And we still lost

#

Somehow

white thicket
#

Not even that it's like

unborn token
#

@white thicket I'd say try to find what you are looking for make an lft post etc in vnm/algs server and tryout with people

white thicket
#

Ok

unborn token
#

If you think your team is the issue

#

And you are a better player and they hold you back

native nimbus
#

I've gotta be honest

unborn token
#

Find people with the same goal as you

native nimbus
#

you have to be honest with yourself too

unborn token
#

Yeah but other than that

#

If the skill gap of the players in the team is way too big

white thicket
#

I am honest with myself

unborn token
#

Then there is no point in playing together

#

Because one does all

white thicket
#

I think I need to improve a lot myself but currently I'm playing with lower skilled players

#

And honestly I think it's time I dedicate time to ranked

native nimbus
#

But as reformed said u gotta find someone to vibe with and are serious about it

white thicket
#

Since I've been diamond for the last 3 seasons which I've played

native nimbus
#

even if they are worse

unborn token
#

Ranked without a team won't get you far @white thicket

native nimbus
#

mindset is important

unborn token
#

Unless you are a soloq god

white thicket
#

I am a soloq god but it is hard

unborn token
#

Ik it is

white thicket
#

Or I was in other games

#

Getting mentally drained in apex

unborn token
#

Only game I was a soloq god was league

#

Lmfao

unborn token
white thicket
#

I soloqd to top 500 in overwatch for so many seasons

unborn token
#

I mean Ive been playing 8+ hrs a day for weeks atm and it makes me mad I'm not progressing because I just don't have ppl to play with

#

And I sit alone like a sad fuck for hours

#

I scrim inconsistently bc my team doesn't want to and I just fill for other teams at this pt

#

Kinda demotivating

wintry cypress
white thicket
#

Ouch felt that don't have much time to play but I had COVID two weeks ago and was in a similar situation

alpine trail
white thicket
white thicket
#

Early seasons

#

I'm washed now lol

unborn token
#

I played from like early September 10hrs to 13 daily

#

Everyday

white thicket
#

Also I was console for like first two seasons?

unborn token
#

Vodded aim trained grinded ranked

#

And then I don't have ppl to play with

white thicket
#

Then decided that I wanted to switch to mnk

#

Quit around goats

unborn token
#

I ask my team to play scrims and the response is

white thicket
#

Game got so boring because I couldn't play damage

unborn token
#

Nah we not doing scrims we gonna get fucked

#

Is rather place 20th and learn a million things than place 1st and learn absolutely nth

white thicket
#

Damn sorry dude

unborn token
white thicket
#

Yeah it was so bad I stopped playing shooters entirely LOL

unborn token
#

F

#

I quit league just bc it really was getting to the breaking pt

white thicket
#

But I'm back since I've been loving this game but yeah feel like I haven't had progress

unborn token
#

Had played for more than 7 yrs and stayed high elo for more than 3

#

And it pissed me the fuck off

#

I literally destroyed a mouse because of that bs ass game

white thicket
#

Idk my aim is getting better and it's pretty consistent. I understand what I'm doing and how to improve

unborn token
#

My aim gets better I shit on ppl one v one but I still don't progress

#

I can fucking shit on my master friends and imcstill not in their rank

#

Like literally this game fucks your mental if you don't have ppl to play

white thicket
#

But like ranked I've been hardstuck diamond 4 every season since I started and I thought I had enough gamesense

white thicket
unborn token
#

To get to masters

#

Soloqing won't get you far

white thicket
#

Premade teams + game knowledge

unborn token
#

Yeah

#

Pretty much

white thicket
#

It's possible though

#

And people do it

unborn token
#

It is just very very hard

toxic magnet
#

its very possible

#

pred teams are maybe 2 - 3 teams a game

unborn token
#

Not rly

toxic magnet
#

so its pretty free until you match them

unborn token
#

More than 3

toxic magnet
#

every game i get in is about 3 master teams and rest are diamonds and plats

#

i thought london was a populated server too

unborn token
#

Idk mate

#

Every game it's 4+ pred teams

#

And the rest of the lobby is masters

white thicket
#

Depends on time

#

That you queue

unborn token
#

True

toxic magnet
#

ohh i play pretty late night

unborn token
#

I haven't played for 2 days plus doe

unborn token
white thicket
#

Like I've learned my lesson of playing late at night apex ranked on na

toxic magnet
#

i have terrible sleep schedule xD

unborn token
#

Got furias roster as champs

#

👍

toxic magnet
#

NA is pretty fun

#

did that in arena

unborn token
#

Na is fun till u go up against a signed pro team

#

😂

white thicket
#

Bad thing about na is the player base

toxic magnet
#

my 3 stack beat a team full of top 20 preds

unborn token
#

I stayed up once and played na scrims bc our eu was poor quality

#

Due to half the teams not showing up

white thicket
#

You either have the kindest teammates in the world or the most toxic ones no in between

unborn token
#

Was fucking amazing

#

And the players respectful and chill as fuck

toxic magnet
#

yeah eu everyone ego challengess

#

you crack them

#

dont matter they will repeak you

white thicket
#

Wait that's suprising

toxic magnet
#

its alot easier to have banter with people on NA

white thicket
#

I didn't know that

toxic magnet
#

they are alot friendlier

unborn token
#

My experience playing na was amazing

#

In scrims

#

Hella respectful players

#

And chill as well

white thicket
#

Crazy guess I'm just seeing the side you guys don't see

toxic magnet
#

im not good enough for scrims but that sounds hella fun

#

when everyone is just chill af

#

them scrims i wanna be apart of xD

unborn token
#

Bro they literally gave me advice after the game we placed 3d

#

On how I should use my caustic ult bc I was using caustic in scrims first time

white thicket
#

Scrims are fun

unborn token
#

Eu scrims r toxic

#

Compared to na

white thicket
#

I remember playing my first scrims and tourney it was so fun

toxic magnet
#

sadly i only see top preds make it into scrims

native nimbus
#

Scrims is how a br is supposed to be played

white thicket
#

Best experience in my life ngl

unborn token
#

That's the comp side

tepid salmon
#

Joined r5 vt server and the first thing I see in chat is someone saying an nword 💀

unborn token
#

💀💀

white thicket
#

Lol

toxic magnet
#

nobody my calibre of player is in scrims

unborn token
white thicket
#

What calibre is that

toxic magnet
#

hardstuck master :/

white thicket
#

LOL

#

I'm diamond

unborn token
#

I am diamond and I place top 10 in scrims

white thicket
#

I'm sure there will be

unborn token
#

;/

toxic magnet
#

hil up

tepid salmon
unborn token
#

There are a lot of masters in scrims

toxic magnet
#

i thought scrims were all preds and above

unborn token
#

Most of the players are master level to pred

white thicket
#

No

unborn token
#

Some are diamond ranks

white thicket
#

Why would scrims be only preds

unborn token
tepid salmon
#

It was someone "chan" something

unborn token
#

But it's usually diamond+ level players

white thicket
#

There isn't even enough preds to have all regions then

toxic magnet
#

WHERE CAN I GET INTO THESE SCRIMS

alpine trail
#

I think you overestimate how many people actually go for pred ojd

unborn token
#

There are people in pred

tepid salmon
#

You probably in like t2 scrims or sum then @toxic magnet

unborn token
#

But the diff between a high diamond/master player and a pred is pretty much how much time you put

toxic magnet
#

ohhhhh

unborn token
#

To get pred all you need is 10 hr ranked sessions and a consistent cracked asf 3 stack

#

Nth else

alpine trail
#

debatable you need good gamesense and rotation

toxic magnet
#

^

unborn token
#

Yeah obv but

#

You get my pt

toxic magnet
#

this is all you need for master

tepid salmon
#

Yeah nah, you make it seem easier

alpine trail
#

i was hardstuck master for like 4 seasons before i first hit pred

unborn token
alpine trail
#

cus i didnt know how to rotate and i didnt think properly

tepid salmon
#

Top ranks in any games never need something basically everyone can do

toxic magnet
#

dont take every fight that comes your way

#

pick and choose wisely

#

and rotate

#

this is all i did to hit master

unborn token
#

Ik

toxic magnet
#

and kept a 3kd doing so

#

not that KD matters :/

unborn token
#

Say that to randoms

tepid salmon
#

I need to get an habit of making each minute played actually be a good minute, I usually just braindead que, which is a bad habit, but still hard to break

unborn token
#

Man I am just demotivated

#

I'm putting so many hours improving my self and grinding my shit

#

And I will still not be masters

#

In both splits

tepid salmon
#

Cause I have exactly the same problem, just not thinking about shit

unborn token
#

If by a miracle I have a 3 stack I'll be next split

unborn token
toxic magnet
#

@unborn token this is the easiest map to hit it on

tepid salmon
#

I mean, the official apex lfg, is decent imo, you just gotta be straight about how you wanna plqy

alpine trail
#

no it isn’t

unborn token
toxic magnet
#

my 1st master i hit using battlecord

tepid salmon
#

Well, its alright, not perfect, but its still better than soloqueing to masters

unborn token
#

All ik is I'm diamond and can slap masters

#

Even current ones

#

That just makes me think that the skill gap isn't big

toxic magnet
#

does past masters really count?

unborn token
#

But at the same time not hitting the

#

Rank sufks

#

Sucks

alpine trail
#

past masters wdym

unborn token
alpine trail
#

s13 yea

toxic magnet
#

most of the people who were masters from last seasons hit it when diamond had their own lobbies

unborn token
#

And s13 counts too

#

I consistently kill a master + team in ranked all the time

#

And couple of diamonds

alpine trail
#

ranked only got easy past s8

unborn token
#

If the game is good

#

I started season 8

little verge
#

Didn't take long for people to play Caustic/Wattson in gun run and just camp in buildings avoiding combat.

unborn token
#

But really really played the game on s12

alpine trail
#

s7 was when d4 had their own lobbies

unborn token
#

Such a shame playing such a shooter

alpine trail
#

and then d3+ was pred queue

little verge
#

Thank god Gundam is starting tomorrow night

unborn token
#

I think it kinda Is just pred que atm

toxic magnet
unborn token
carmine viper
alpine trail
#

nah

#

s8 is when they changed it

unborn token
#

League of legends doesn't have a challenger queue in diamond

alpine trail
#

cus thats when i first hit pred lmao

unborn token
#

Unless it's Smurf queue then that's diff

toxic magnet
#

i feel d3 and up should be pred lobbies imo masters shouldnt be an easy task

unborn token
#

I will not stop till my badge is red

alpine trail
#

s13 split 1 was fine idk why they dont just keep it like it was then

unborn token
#

D3+ shouldn't be facing top 05

#

50

toxic magnet
#

split one season 13 was so much fun

unborn token
#

The mm sucks yk

toxic magnet
#

grinded to diamond 1st 24hours

unborn token
#

I barely played

toxic magnet
#

but didnt really have the resolve to grind after that and went to Overwatch

unborn token
#

I still had a bit of my final exams left so I finished plat

alpine trail
#

why is there like 50 skins in the store wtf

#

looks like fortnite

unborn token
#

Xd

#

I just want a 3 stack man

#

And masters is just free

toxic magnet
#

just dont go in there as a D4

alpine trail
#

really good is an overstatement for sure

#

its ok for diamond

#

still a lot of mentally ill people

toxic magnet
#

i thought it was fine in my experience

unborn token
#

Battlecord is the ego palace

alpine trail
#

when i lfgd there as master i got a bunch of people with bought accounts

unborn token
#

Doesn't change the fact I can slap someone higher

toxic magnet
#

aslong as you are d3 plus i feel like you will have a decent time

unborn token
#

Nah

tepid salmon
#

Everything in apex feels like an ego fest

toxic magnet
#

but people dont see that when someone says they are d4 like i wont queue with a d4 most of them dont play with a brain

unborn token
#

I had a current master drop without us

#

Do 72 dmg

#

And die

#

And I was d4

#

12k rp

toxic magnet
#

that guy was probably boosted

unborn token
#

And the guy was 17k rp

toxic magnet
#

nobody i know plays like that

#

thats stupid

alpine trail
#

my packet loss and ping almost the same

unborn token
#

Maybe he had a bad game

#

But he completely disregarded our coms

toxic magnet
#

not even a bad game

unborn token
#

And just fucking died

#

Alone

toxic magnet
#

thats just stupid

tepid salmon
unborn token
#

Every master+ ik I can 1v1

tepid salmon
#

Hella annoying

unborn token
#

And I'm still not masters

#

Literally pisses me off

tepid salmon
#

I have like 50 packet loss every third match for like 20 mins

unborn token
#

Apex moment man

#

We had a dude in battlecord claim he is ex pred my friends played with him kid talked so much shit but then asked for a 1v1 and my friend fucking rolled him

#

As a d4

alpine trail
#

swapped to a further server and i have 0% packet loss now

#

nice!

unborn token
#

And ex pred I mean S11

wintry cypress
tepid salmon
#

I thought they upgraded to two hamsters

wintry cypress
#

Idk, ive been having more and more issues so probably not

unborn token
#

We have to get Elon to buy respawn and ea

#

There is no other way

#

Mfs took their time making new med animations

white thicket
#

Lol nah Elon should keep working on neuralink and implement it into vr

unborn token
#

But couldn't give less of a fk Abt the servers

white thicket
#

Much better gaming investment

unborn token
#

Indeed

tepid salmon
#

Apex vr sounds disgusting

unborn token
#

Apex monkey sounds

white thicket
#

I already get motion sick playing Apex sometimes

#

Can't imagine with vr

#

I meant like instead of apex he should do vr

unborn token
#

I hate fighting movement wannabe wraith shitters

#

As a wraith main my self

wintry cypress
unborn token
#

The 2cfgs those kids use won't save them

white thicket
#

But I have a rule

unborn token
white thicket
#

To tbag all bald wraiths when I kill them

unborn token
#

Pretty much all of them are not

white thicket
#

And like 90% of them end up to be ttvs

unborn token
#

Fck baldies

white thicket
#

And one time it was Faide

unborn token
#

Depths of void ftw

#

Most of the ttv bald wraiths r faide/lyric wannabes that use a cfg to superglide

#

And then they do it like every single time and combine it with other movement tech miss half of their shots die and leave insta

#

It's like 90% of them

tepid salmon
#

As long as they arent controller crackheads im fine with it

unborn token
#

Oh damn controller wraiths

#

Either a demon or a new player

#

No in between

tepid salmon
#

Tbh, thinking about kill replays already makes me think about how much more copium there'll be lol

unborn token
#

God damn true

tepid salmon
#

It'd be sick seeing shit sometimes, but then that shit happens

alpine trail
#

new mode is pretty chill

#

i was against robots though

unborn token
#

New mode do be fun

tepid salmon
#

Its kinda boring imo

#

The r5 gungame better tho

alpine trail
#

idk if theres any matchmaking lol i didnt die once

unborn token
#

It is fun if u just meming with friends

unborn token
#

Half of my games were ai as well

#

Other games sweat stacks

#

Mfs holding hands n shit

#

Might be bc it's late idk

alpine trail
#

not late on na

proven pulsar
#

prob gonna take the day off tomorrow

tepid salmon
#

Yeah, I was wishing that it'd be solo

little verge
#

Also is it me, or does gun run have ATROCIOUS hit reg issues?

alpine trail
#

all of apex does lol

tepid salmon
#

The game just does

alpine trail
#

as a horizon player i can say i have it worst

#

sometimes u cang o up ur lift

#

empty a mag into somenoe

#

and half the bullets wont register

little verge
#

Like I know I get them in the base game, but I swear I get like 10x more in gun run. Which, in all honestly, should be easier on the servers than 60 man BR.

tepid salmon
#

And then you see magic bullets from ur enemy

alpine trail
#

i only played one game and didnt experience any noregs

#

was pretty short though

tepid salmon
#

Getting shot through objects the most annoying shit though, I get that ping can't be fixed in a way, and it'll always be there, but its not like apex is optimized for it sadge

little verge
#

The audio is also somehow worse

tepid salmon
#

Don't notice it much anymore cause I just blast music now lol

proven pulsar
#

(while on horizon q)

alpine trail
#

yep

#

i have a few of those as well

#

i put like 20 devo bullets into someone and none registered

#

and he was ujst stood there

little verge
#

Like there's no gunshots or fighting nearby, trying to listen for something and I turn around and there's someone right there.

quaint karma
#

why is it

tepid salmon
#

Oh yeah lmao, I was playing r5 earlier and for some reason theres alot of missing stuff for me, including some gunshot sounds, so its quite funny to see a mf with a devo shooting a whole mag at me

quaint karma
#

that every couple games im in a packet loss lobby

#

never understood that

#

doesnt happen on any other game

tepid salmon
#

Its just apex being dogshit

quaint karma
#

and it varies too

tepid salmon
#

What internet provider do you use?

quaint karma
#

theres the playable like 6 packet loss

quaint karma
#

dont think you dknow it

tepid salmon
#

OHH Yeahh

#

Same lmao

quaint karma
#

anyway it varies from like 6 packet loss to like 20 to 50

#

50 is unplayable

tepid salmon
#

Telekom is apparently too expensive in comparison to some other providers, atleast for respawn it'd cost more for them to have it be normal, instead of the 50 packet loss lobbies every now and then

quaint karma
#

if i play on vpn

#

i dont get any packet loss ever

tepid salmon
#

It sucks

quaint karma
#

💀

#

i figure it has to do with routing

#

to the servers

tepid salmon
#

Same thing with O2

quaint karma
#

did they say that somewhere or something

tepid salmon
#

Just search up telekom apex packetloss

#

Think it was said there

quaint karma
#

in here?

#

or on google

tepid salmon
#

Isnt a 100% safe answer, but it seems the most reasonable, and it was said quite alot

#

Yeah google

quaint karma
#

yeah i see

#

gonna just start playing on vpn exclusively maybe

tepid salmon
#

What vpn do you use?

quaint karma
#

nord

tepid salmon
#

Might be worth considering for me

quaint karma
#

idk if nord is the best like rn but it was really good when i bought it

tepid salmon
#

Ah alright, I guess it's not a free plan ur using on it?

quaint karma
#

was a good deal too

#

and i have it for a couple more years so

#

cant switch anyways

#

no

#

paid 200 for 6 years

#

roughly

#

i bought 3 years twice

tepid salmon
#

Ohh, yeah that sounds pretty good

quaint karma
#

i think it was like a deal

tepid salmon
#

I wish there was some kind of lifetime packet for vpn's but the good ones obviously don't have it sadge

quaint karma
#

i only see this on their site rn

#

80 for 27 months

tepid salmon
#

Yeah, thats mad good though

quaint karma
#

works for everything ido

#

if i use frankfurt server vpn my ping is essentially the same as always

#

they only have servers in berlin and frankfurt tho so like if you live kinda far its gonna add a bit to your ping

#

probably not much tho since

#

the servers are located in frankfurt anyways

#

for apex

tepid salmon
#

Nah, Im on like 10 in apex

#

Or should be

quaint karma
#

im on like 30 at the lowest cuz im on telekom hybrid LTE plan

#

so usually im on 50 ping

#

used to have 10 ping

tepid salmon
#

Hmm yeah, the ping weird in apex anyways tbh

quaint karma
#

before this

#

but speeds are much better now

#

also if you use torrents

#

i dont recommend doing that without vpns anyways

#

i get full speed with the vpn

tepid salmon
#

Other games, for example val or cs I have like 5, in apex Im supposed to have 10 in the server selection menu, but it usually is at like 30-40

#

Conclusion, apex servers are dogshit 🤝

quaint karma
#

thought it was a me problem tbh

#

oh well vpn always works

#

for some reason id never considered to just play on vpn at all times

#

usually i switch to it if i hit a 50 packet loss lobby

#

cuz thats instant fix

tepid salmon
#

Didn't think about vpn though, ty

quaint karma
tepid salmon
#

What seemed weird about it is that it feels like theres periods where it happens alot more frequently, and then times where it doesnt happen at all

quaint karma
#

well

#

maybe it only happens on certain regions

#

like im p sure sometimes i queue london and shit

#

even though i always have frankfurt selected

#

cuz it just puts you into another server anyways

#

if theres more people there

#

i play at odd hours of the day sometimes

#

early morning or really late at night

#

or sometimes during normal times

tepid salmon
#

I had min 20 packet loss every match, then about a season later I didn't have a single packet loss lobby for the first split

quaint karma
#

so player counts may be a factor

#

i always get them a few times a day but usually

#

its fine

#

and arenas

#

theres not really any

#

for some reason

#

they exist but its rare

tepid salmon
#

Yeah thats why I played arena for quite a bit before

#

Now im just mainly playing r5 though

quaint karma
#

havent played r5 in a bit for some reason

#

probably like a week
