id argue OW is more mechanically intensive
i've found OW to be easier IME because everyone's at least got like 200 or so health and abilities to negate the damage well
and unlike base apex there's no one life per session, you're back in the fight if you die
aim wise
OW seems vastly easier to me
the maps in overwatch are more linear and 2d shaped, in apex, they' use verticality more
same
i just mean aimwise
@proven pulsar hey homie help me out here
i also just don't get why respawn doesn't do more for those who love the lore more than the game itself
not gonna debate about it
?
because apex itself is challenging and requires teamwork
Most difficult FPS as far as individual skill goes is Quake Duels by a large mile
yeah but quake is dead because no one really likes that type of shooter now
Fair
thats why its dead it requires a lot of mechanical skill cant hide in building and hope for the best :P
and people these days prefer BR but i don't like waiting in lobbies just to fight again
How about Squad, Arma, Insurgency, Hell let loose, etc?

does that r99 skin thats with the pathfinder have a good iron site?
like similar to cutting edge? or am i trippin
rate my S15 progress
๐
some eurodipshit was telling me to push when I had 20 bullets and they were both dead lmoa
o shit im in same team with him again
yeah i though cause maybe i was playing overwatch which feels really responsive but
theres no way
im getting stutters input lag and movement lag
only games that can take on apex that aren't BRs are cod and ow
and people find them boring since they're not BRs, but if that weren't the problem cod is a military shooter and actiblizz has had bad PR
and for much more objective focused shooters they're not for me. i'll never play hll for that reason
I noticed that as well
lol that first phrase is so paradoxical for me lol, i find brs super boring
brs have a lot of downtime which is boring but
they dont really get stale the same way other fps games do for me
like every cod ive played i play a ton first week and then never again cause like
i feel like ive experienced everything 1000 times already
is there a reason apex matchmaking takes like 5-10 minutes now i am playing it for the first time in months rn
im in us central
yea I got no idea, my queues popped instantly, I've been in masters lobbies all night just duo queuing
people find BRs fun because of the RNG and it not being TDM (kill, die, respawn, repeat)
i personally don't like that downtime, i want to get back to the fight asap
i find it frustrating personally
yeah i mean its for sure person to person but brs make me so fucking mad cuz its a whole boring as looting phase and shit before i can fight again
cod and pubg have overtaken apex in player numbers on steam
yes and i wish respawn did something for those players who don't give a shit about BR or who hate it
there's also this fusehound thing going on right now
which is really hyping up everyone who loves apex for the lore more than for the gameplay
no shit cod just came out
it's honestly criminal that they don't remove arenas completely and replace it with a rotation if instant respawn modes, such as TDM, Control, or gun game
hence why i'm playing the r5r mod, fuck respawn's shortsightedness
new game brings in way more viewers than a new season
Arenas should be an LTM
arenas is their quota
so the competition won't laugh at them, and it should be replaced with TDM, control and/or gun game
harder to complain about shit balancing with those than with arenas as everyone simply abuses the mozambique eventually
that is true but not everyone would like to play cod in the long term. it still has a shit reputation for being the same old boring and toxic TDM-centered military shooter shit outside warzone
as i say again, there's also this fusehound thing going on right now which is really hyping up everyone who loves apex for the lore more than for the gameplay
i feel like it's criminal that respawn only gives a video at most for those who love everything about apex except the actual BR gameplay, but content update after content update for those who do love the BR experience
yeah most of the servers were completely dead. i had to move to london to get anywhere near quick matchmatching
respawn should learn and introduce more game modes permanently and perhaps even consider taking their fanservice for those who love the lore more seriously
arenas is literally the best part of apex, stfu lmao
best way to quickly get dailies done
overwatch even released comics at one point
if only it wasn't just BRs and arenas though
control or gun gay are some of the worst modes to have been implemented in apex
and arenas is simply their quota for "hey, we're trying to not be just a BR"
arenas is good but it needs a lot more work
most fun mode atm by far
your point was that apex is dead because pubg and cod surpassed it in viewership, when the apex and cod playerbase actually have a ton of overlap which is why apex is down right now and cod is up
apex and pubg dont have as much overlap so its viewership has not gone down as much
i would play the shit out of some cod if it didnt have so much anti skill design
id play if it wasnt 70 dollars
i need something to scratch the destiny itch now that destiny pvp is in the shitter
yeah but there's some people who will never touch cod because it's a noob-friendly toxic TDM-based military shooter, and there's people who like apex only for the lore
and respawn could be making so much potential with the non-BR liking Apex crowd
yeah they could
cod with no aim assist or sbmm, no movement nerfs and better map design would be incredible
but they are doing psyops on you, br doesnt cause burnout the same way tdm does, so they make those modes limited only
skinner box strategy
they knoow what they are doing
br burns me out in like 1 game lmaoooooo
i'm playing cod and r5r in part to spite respawn. it's everyone else who will just keep feeding the Apex BR machine when people who like apex only for the lore and non-BR parts are getting nothing
i agree
they could be making so much money if they broadened their IP beyond just a BR shooter. look at LoL for instance
i think its stupid asf but i agree
i like br just for the variety, what i wish apex had was like mini br, 20 people and its a single poi ring
i don't think BR is as replayable for me. if i die i get frustrated because i hate sitting and waiting in the lobbies to fight again. i can play again but if i win i'm not wasting any more time risking my chances to win again
like zone wars in fn
i want apex to have something like warzone rebirth - respawns are always guaranteed but only under specific conditions and a narrow time frame
in warzone rebirth, players have the survivor perk - if they don't die as long as that perk is active, they can fight again
perfect compromise for those who hate waiting in lobbies to fight again but hate the dullness of TDM
i want a movement based hero shooter with a psuedo fast ttk
i want lawbreakers back
๐ฆ
i think purple armor ttk is perfect tbh, i realllllly like how fighting in apex feels
well when everyone is mnk :^)
apex combat is interesting, i don't like waiting in lobbies just to fight again
yeah
and i find it frustrating when i die and i don't want to risk having to do that for several hours just to win
im lucky in that i dont care about winning the game at all
but i totally see how its super annoying
like brs to me just feel like run around then get shot in the back by someone who may or may not have an objective advantage over you because they loot goblinned longer
there's no metric for doing well in BR but winning or maybe the occasional exceptional killstreak. it's designed to make you feel like shit. motorsport at least pays you to advertise their car company's racing division
well pre sbmm that was a plus imo, cause you always could just outskill the purple armor r9 shitter with a re45
but now it feels so bad
i hope if warzone rebirth comes out and is good, this'll force respawn to change BR so it works for everyone
even come up with their own equivalent
i think you need noob lobbies but the skill brackets need to be way bigger in pubs
the skill representation of brs should be win% in cbmm instead of a rank
rankless sbmm just feels really really bad because its actively fighting against you but not giving you a rank for your troubles
like no one complains about sbmm in val (unless theyre braindead) cuz you get a rank for it
thing is apex was the first br to let you bring teammates back and lets downed players do something semi useful, it was the most noob friendly one in that regard
but it's terrible for those who are soloists. i'm more of a soloist myself because i still feel like teamwork is work. i'd rather play with friends but i struggle to have a strong and coherent social life
symmetrical games need sbmm i think
now if i played solo BRs, it'd still be frustrating
like LoL norms, noobs will get slaughtered even if enemy is hard trolling all 5 roles
only in ranked
naw, have you played lol
nope
or ow
did cod ruin soloist multiplayer?
i guess 1 good player in ow cant control the game
yes but qp is irrelevant in ow, im talking about games that have relevant quickplay
easily
i'm under the impression it kind of did because in the opinion of some, it leads to mindless TDM/FFA gameplay and toxicity
i think toxicity is a fake problem so
i really want to play a pubstompy symmetrical tdm rn
which is what cod is supposed to be but its in a ruined state rn
how? i find anything better than respawn's mismanagement with apex atm, catering only to the BR whales when they have a strong following of those who care more about the lore itself
i dont see how this is relevant to what i said
im just saying cod is in a dogshit state rn, has been since they started making lab engineered super sbmm
having those 30-1 players in the lobby i feel like is fun for most people, someone to hunt down, aspire to be, or be lmao
all are fun
exactly im burned out on val rn and i just want to play a pubstomp fps but thats a dying genre
well i think cod's shit balancing is better than apex being a hardstuck BR when there's tons of fans out there who love it for everything else
cod has been legitimately unplayable for years now so i disagree
imo apex ruined titanfall lore by making it hella goofy
and also how do you think they should better take advantage of lorefans
its like taking cyberpunk and making a cyperpunk version of fall guys
LOL
i'm somewhat indifferent to it, there's many who do because it provides better LGBT+ representation in part than a lot of games and in some cases, Netflix shows (which keep getting canceled because execs like keeping shows up temporarily)
who other than gaybraltar
a netflix series like LoL did with Arcane, a spin-off game that isn't strictly a shooter like what Borderlands did
piltover lore is actually good though
a lot of games have a shitload of gay heroes now
pre arcane
most hero shooter rosters are high gay%
id perfer they made it a seperate cannon from titanfall
the two are WAY too different in tone
yeah
yeah. they need to expand the apex IP in a way that separates itself from the main BR experience and from Titanfall
as there are BR players who don't give a shit about the lore but just care far more about the gameplay
well the lore IS a br
it can be expanded to not involve a BR more and more
overwatch 2 comes close but actiblizz has bad PR now
i feel like youre conflating gameplay with lore here
ima tell u this, no game company is putting lgbt+ characters in their games out of the goodness of their hearts
it's because people who care more about BR are the ones who will buy skins for the game, while those who don't will just be sitting making fanart or twiddling their thumbs or whatever
so respawns lack of bad pr in that regard doesnt make it more virtuous than ow representation
to me
every company that makes comp shooters is shitty as fuck and only care about $. indie studios dont have the resources to make good comp pvp games
100%
well they do but they dont have the resources to get them to really succeed
reality is people do care about fancy graphics and animations a ton
and good skins
the way comp pvp games make money is antithetical to the way indie studios make games
you cant take a risk making a live service game thats dependent on player count when youre a new studio
it's also why fortnite is dismissed as a kids' game
because of the graphics
ow has similar graphics but ppl dont think its a kids game. fn caters to kids hella hard
i actually really prefer games with that aesthetic lol
fn is full of pop culture stuff
i'd get into valorant but i need therapy first before i get into that game
lmao
fortnite has some interesting non-BR stuff too and actually invests in it
fn abandoned gameplay in favor of just being hyper marketable and accessable
val is only interesting to me cuz its very competitive, i like it but yeah overall im a big movement shooter guy
i also like games that give you a lot of tools and let you be good by using the tools creatively, instead of 1 tool that you just use better than the enemy
i know thats very reductive to val but its true to an extent
its just frustrating to me that these are basically the only options if you wanna play a comp shooter that isnt dead as fuck
but yeah fn is honestly such a good game it seems like from most angles
kinda wish i got into it back then but i dont want to learn it now
yeah it sucks
the building skillgap is cool but it being a br and them nerfing skillgaps pushes me away
i just want to play destiny again but bungie literally obliterated it and spit on its corpse so idk what to play as a chill game now lol
such a unique take on the survival game mechanic
anime porn game ๐คช
i wish someone would make a game like gunz but modern
anyway, i gotta sleep and somehow get myself to wake up as early as i can to sort out some stuff
battlebit looks fun but they keep having super short betas and i never plau them
sectors edge is cool but its dead as shit
Very sad indeed. Valorant and Overwatch graphics and art style don't get me stoked at all. It's like warcraft 3 graphics.
anyone played gundam? looks kinda fun
i thought about it
Hear gundam is p2w
yeah i heard the monetization is shitty
have yall played ratz instagib
all the fun games gotta die
super fun
love that game
better instagib than diabotical fs
i got fucking violated by this one guy a few months ago
and i was like "how do i get that good"
he said
"stop playing aim trainers"
double violation
55 lol

whats crazy to me is gaming is more popular than ever right now
and it also feels more dead than ever to me
its just going in a shitty direction\
i feel so isolated from other players in every game now
sbmm to keep bots playing and buying battlepasses and skins etc
cuz no one plays to get better or even have fun its all about the external stimulation
well the games are just built that way too now, totally new players in every match, game doesnt let you talk to the enemy half the time
you can see it in the discourse about ow, ppl are legit asking why they should play if they cant get skins from playing.
its seriously so boring might as well be playing against bots
exactly
yeah dont think thats the secret
im ok with like swbf where its obvious whos bots and they count differently and are just there for like more stuff to shoot at, but in fn where they hide its bots its really fucked up
he doesnt want me to catch up๐ค
im suprised u found someone else on a ratz server lol that game is dead asf
although i think a lot of people dont play enough strafe scens
or at all for that matter
or their main game
i think a lot of peoples whole understanding of aim trainers is like 1w6t te
also i would imagine the venn diagram of people who play niche instagib games and people who aim train would be a circle
people that shit on them
discord is where you go for community stuff nowadays
the aim labs default ones are even more egregious and useless
like there's a bunch of ppl here to play w/ so you don't gotta play with randoms
like gridshot is so uselss
yeah but even still, the discs are all dead af sometimes, i dont remember it bein like that a few years ago
@wet glade
everyone got healthy lifestyles or something smh i dont buy it
healthy lifestyles = watching tiktok and playing against bots you think are real people
real healthy lifestyles is when you blast indie rock and farm people in destiny 2 for 10 hours straigjt in tdm, was very fun while it lasted fuck you bungie
destiny always sucked
Watch timecop1080's clip titled "respawn, how about removing melee on drop? oh and banning anyone who abuses it."
you used it first
idk who timecop is but he's a little bitch
it did not
dont talk to dongie like that
then maybe he should post a clip where he doesn't immediately quit to lobby
(impossible)
that would happen once respawn removes all hackers from game
yea that guy punching you definitely a hacker
this is my alltime best clip i think
why
the timing is too good
ive had plenty of those
Wraith main moment
i need a reactive/ smooth scen thats both horizontal and vertical ( i think controlsphere is a good one need another one
on the more reactive side
#1 pred booster just got banned for the 4th time
lmfao

yes of course wattson got his bestie hideouts to manually ban him
good riddance

I don't think you should be able to Q through doors. It's kinda broken imo
Since it means ur forced off the door, and catalyst doesn't need to wait in order to push through the door as they are not effected by the q
i think cat is only broken in closed spaces/buildings
she's super vulnerable in open fields
useless passive, people can just sidestep her q (assuming she doesn't aim it at them), and her ult doesn't offer much
but i can see her becoming dangerous once the final ring starts closing
visual clutter galore
i hate the new map its so bad
What don't you like?
wat
the rail system works numbers
anyone got any playlist for dynamic clicking( tryna improve mah wingman )

verhulst is amazing
visual clutter looks insane
skill issue if you cant track through visual clutter
fuck you
and yea like 90% of what alb is talking about isn't the chars kit, it's just bugs about the characters kit
also RE-45 is literally the fastest TTK weapon outside of like, kraber
aimassisted
aimassisted
just saw this and was thinking no mnk player would ever do this
the visual clutter is just too crazy
plus this looks like one of those cases where he barely even has to move his thumb
for a 1clip
shits wack
Dude literally inserted himself into the game to see better wdym
aimass
i shit talk all 4-3 classic players
imagine waking up and just having aim assist
Imagine if youโre drunk you get aim assist when you go to take a piss
some players would still claim it messes them up
this is probably why it feels like storm point for me
I always drop on the edge POIs
and spend the next few mins looking for ppl ๐
anyone wanna go duos ๐๐
spot the cat
Oh god, pinged doors.
Even still, pinged doors are atrociously bad.
Can't count how many times I've lost track of someone standing in front of the pinged door because the blue highlight seems to not care about anyone obstructing it.
Does the ping opacity line on cfg work
should i play horizon in lower ranks like >gold
not enough visual queues to distinguish what is friendly or foe catalyst tactical
so annoying
play whoever the fuck you want m8
anyone wanna queue
was doing some 1v1s against 2 roller players
surprisingly i won
no attachments r9 and no attachments pk
๐
did you just jump behind them and get in their faces where aa deactives?
was it their first day on roller or something lmao
like I know you're good but in 1v1 controller has an insane advantage
they longstrafed a lot
easy to hit
like not super long
but idk, didnt have much trouble aiming
you were much harder to hit
although i also felt way worse that day
also rediscovered one of my long lost move techs recently so I should be more evasive now
those kids got fuckin destroyed
these guys need to figure it out https://streamable.com/em9qy7
ya also, need everyone here to do me a favor, record instances of when you have too much visual clutter and have trouble seeing/tracking your opponents and send them to me. Think about specific things you can point out. I'm putting together a document for one of the devs.
Examples of shooting dirt/snow and the particles obscuring targets, clips of trying to hipfire the volt, RE-45. Caustic gas flashbang effect, any other skills that have a flashbang effect which shouldn't
this might just be me but after wallbouncing in close range, especially after a tap bounce, my gun often blocks the opponent on my screen
like
maybe 1/10 times
ill try to get a clip if i remember
yea that's a good example, if you get a clip send it
needa learn to see through that ngl
you were on him
i guess thast also a skill
as an mnk player anyways
roller players dont have to bother
nah that shit be getting to me bad
just not being able to see through all that clutter fucks up me trying to aim smoothly
and also my slow ass reaction doesnt help
im still super shit
Nothing to learn. I need to play with an actual monitor, not a laptop
gaming therapist = cronus zen for shitters :)))
I understand something to learn. Ive seen bloodsport jean claude van damme
how do u aim smooth and compensate for recoil at the same time for some reason i cant get used to this
google it
being smooth compensates recoil by itself in apex
input device that masks your kbm inputs as controller inputs so you can have controller aim assist and KBM input
also you can inject scripts and cheats
it works like that, i thought only controllers used zens
something like that, yeah
aLL arena preds use xens or chronus / and xims
You tellin me I should just play apex blind folded
Like Jean Claude Van damme in bloodsport
nah id say like 50%
maybe more for console
thats more of a console thing from what i know
and arena preds are just mozam abusers anyway
mnk
on eu anyways
i see so much clips on tik tok where mans dont got no recoil and one clips , sticky ass aim doenst leave the enemy
and its from a mile away u cant even make out a pixel
of course because its tiktok
do you expect normal humans on that application
tiktok is great for growth tho for your content
sadly
but get ready to find some of the most unhinged people on there
i shit talk every controller clip i see
whats the point
no reason
sounds miserable
Yesterday
Looks kinda mid
No major changes to anything
Is it that different
I meant like legend and ranked changes
Bros really looked at the state of ranked and said "this is fine"
Braindeath
Oh
Is the HUD changed at all
I haven't either tbh I'm not that hyped for it
How is the map nosh
Bet
@honest heron
not sure yet
i can only say when im familiar with everything
it reminds me a lot of stormpoint
somehow
Big?
Ok
and you can get aroudn quick
It looks interesting
good riddance
The community has outgrown KC
even my soloQ arenas stats are up\
Fuck sake
isnt it olympus, WE and broken moon
1v1 anyone?
Maybe the best season unironically
Stiffy back on the floor makes me happy
It got buffed
Not damage wise but wider spread and you can reload cancel with ads
Last season was the most unfun season yet, hopefully this one is better
i had fun last season the second split of ranked but the first half was so shit
Idk man you've played it
Does it look like hitscan to you
Idk bro it's like immediately obvious the moment you start shooting someone
But yes everything has velocity
Hitscan apex would be cancer
imagine playing mechanically almost perfectly
only to get shit on by a console wingman
malding
Real
Reminds me of that one arenas game nosh
With the streamers using console wingman
I can't believe respawn made a reactive charge rifle skin
just delete the fucking gun from the game already
does your hipfire crosshair disapear as well or just ads
you don't compesante for recoil at all, apex has a feature called recoil smoothing. You literally do not have recoil when you track a target smoothly
controller players dont even know what the word click timing means
aim just slows down
and drags with the enemies movement
smh
i mean like from a further distance
counter strafe while smoothly tracking, you can get recoil smoothing up to like 100m if you're octane, though it depends on your weapon. Otherwise, learn recoil patterns or jitter aim(don't actually jitter aim if you like your wrists).
It's also easier to do with a scope
for long distance you can just pull down and you'll hit 80% of the shots anyway
just ADS, pretty nice not gonna lie
damn that's too bad, i wish I could get rid of the hipfire crosshairs as well. But if you swap back to native res on your monitor that should fix that, it's alledgedly due to using a non-native res
@wet skiff u squaded up?
i'm done for the evening, was just duoing with an irl friend
ight
nah i like it ima keep it
crosshairx lets u only have a custom crosshair on ADS
yea I use a custom crosshair as well
some fun clips, getting more confident in my aim finally
anyone got a goated kvk playlist for apex?
shooting at a downward angle is extremely tough
same with upwards, if the angle is more extreme it's really hard
if you use rivatuner, you can grab rivacross and use that as well
why is it hide On right click.
i feel scammed
oh wtf they updated it
that ss is frmo their page Lol
ok downlaoding
dot or small + is always my go tos. For Apex though it's huge otherwise the screen clutter makes it impossible to track
I used a large ^ chevron for a while too that worked really well for hipfire tbh
wtf
tho whenever i do custom xhair im cracked for 1 day and then im super distracted by it forever
also im a toggle aimer
yea makes sense, i cant adapt to toggle bc wingman/shotguns feel so much worse
go on dx12 and change ur res to 1680x1050 i think thats what did it for me
how do u get these visual settings?
-eac_launcher_settings SettingsDX12.json
launch options
apex is my favorite indie game
pretty sure this is just everything lowest settings. I've done a ton of tinkering with my nvidia settings and stuff, it's all set to performance, no idea if maybe that's what you are seeing
yea they are
ah prob nvidia settings then, im using amd ๐
i only use mine for autoexec but i used to have a bunch of shit in it before i reinstalled windows a few months ago
just havent set it up properly since then bc i dont play much anymore
+exec autoexec.cfg -high +cl_showpos 1 +fps_max 0 -xaudio2
-high sets it to high priority for CPU, which can boost performance in some cases, cl_showpos 1 gives you your position and velocity, useful for vod review. fps max is self explanatory, 0 is uncapped. I cap with RTSS, I was having frametime issues with ingame cap. -xaudio2 forces stereo, some drivers can cause the game to try and do surround sound when you don't want that
ya, you can see the cl_show pos in my clips up top
it's useful for when I'm mad that I deadslid so I can go back and see I was a bot and wasn't at fullspeed yet lol
-high caused stutters on all 3 pcs i used it on so ymmv
i wouldnโt use that if i was u
yea it's PC dependent, for me it helped
maybe it helps amd cpu or smth
all it does is set priority to high in task manager

Rate my aim when I panic(it's bad)
also it's funny as fuck you can see my ADHD kick in mid fight
what the fuck even distracted me on that wall?
masters both splits last split
barely though
my aim 90% of the time
dude, I can't stop
fucking laughing at me getting distracted by something on that fucking box
like what the fuck
literally always panicking in apex
what fucking caught my attention there
nice box
I can't see ANYTHING that would capture my attention
sound maybe
I want to give myself a lobotomy
I do not understand how it's possible for me to go 30 years undiagnosed
like I can't stop thinking about that stupid ass box
my apex aim rn, cant even shoot people looking away from me
i was 21, it be like that
arenas matchmaking algorithm is just to borked to have fun in it for me
control is goated
ik I'm supposed to ignore my teammates and play like a 1v3 but dude I got people who have literally never played the game before, they're like level 3, then my opponents are 3 diamond players
I'm good, but not that good
i just play br like its a roguelike, i drop on people, and what i get is what i get
lets see if i win this time
oh yea, another thing for visual clutter, what are all the bullshit screen shake instances you can think of that you'd like to see gone
all of them
any more clips would be appreciated as well I got quite a document going already
yea, I need specific examples, though. The ones I could think of most are the PK cocking animation and when a newcastle ults near you
eh, I could explain it but it's not really worth it. Basically you're getting a lot now because the algorithm thinks you belong higher than your current displayed rank so it's forcing you up
once your visible rank and mmr match up, you are basically stuck there unless you start dramatically increase your performance. Even if you have like a 90% win rate you won't go up much and will lose it all in 1-2 losses.
yea most games have your actual mmr hidden, and your rank is just a funny number to get you to spend time on the game
The exact formula for calculating mmr is unknown, at least to me. But I do know that the algorithm plays dirty trying to force a 50% win rate and will stack the teams horribly against you if you aren't 3 stacking
So if youre like, a masters, you'll get 2x brand new players on your team then get placed vs 3 diamonds
idk waht happened there
https://outplayed.tv/media/P33dD2
To capture and share your gaming highlights, download the Outplayed app on Overwolf
vid has a huge stutter, can't see what happened
oh, that happened in game? Are you DX12?
that's nuts I got no idea how that happened
DX12 is just a different api but it usually comes with better performance
it's in testing atm so devs want feedback, if that was a dx12 bug I was gonna say post it in the reddit thread for the devs
oh btw if u were gonna say something ab the visual clutter thing i think that evo level ups are not subtle enough visually or when ur getting shot while flesh, its bearable but annoying w
The aimpunch is intentional, I find it annoying too but there's no shot they reduce it. You are supposed to be vulnerable when your shields are down. I agree with the shield level up animation though
ur vulnerable in that you will die to a sneeze :^)
Eh, no matter how you spin it, the aimpunch is designed to HEAVILY discourage you from fighting without shields. The game is designed to give someone with shields a massive advantage over someone with flesh
ye i kknow, i just disagree with the philosophy
even just popping a single shield cell is key to winning fights while disadvantaged
i think hp advantage is enough on its own
Aim punch sucks, but what really sucks is getting repeatedly aim punched because you're fighting in zone.
Yep. But like the aim punch, it's intention is to make zone fighting an absolute last resort. They want to heavily discourage fighting in zone
That said, aim punch is probably the lowest tier of issues I have with their design philosophies lol
which I agree with, tbh. Traveling through zone while safe is one thing, but fighting in zone is dumb as all fuck and should be avoided. I disagree with a lot, but can't find fault in those mechanics even if I dislike them heavily
honestly the most annoying camera thing to me is just the run bobbing and reloading. Ive been getting this weird animation reset lag and it makes the camera flinch when it happens, it completely breaks my focus.
im already movin my own damn head irl i dont need this too

is this legit or is it controller
that guy looks like he's never played an FPS game before then 1 mags players
it could be a hard cheater or a controller player, no way to know LUL
Just a roller player. Not surprising
only weird thing to me
actually
is the pause
other than that its believable to me

shit is hilarious
with 8 kill
wawe ur awesome
personally i 1 trick r301 but i do enjoy me some flatline action.
but ive been fragging with the car so i dont even bother picking up the r3
any ranked demon in chat
nah
Had a really good day playing solo-duos yesterday
Even dropped a 10 kill, 3k game
Was having fun on the new map
just got wallhacked while ranking in plat gg
My first ranked match of the day I'm pretty sure we got DDoSd in silver so no surprise really lol
What a surprise ten more levels didn't stop the cheaters.
yikes
blood hound, seer or actual wall hacks?
entier lobbies are full of actual wallhacks
super sussy seer 3 stack perfectly tracking me while i was alone
- seer was prefiring me
i get he has an idea of where i am with his ult but they were super committed to that shit
im just 100% sure he was walling lmao
damn, tbh i dont think i have even met a cheater in apex yet
i only have 600 hours tho
people can hide them easily if they try
Youve crossed the line dongie
I played apex last night and enjoyed it
didn't find one until i disconnected at top 3
Didn't have to clarify that you disconnected, we already know
๐
dont type that shit here ever again ๐ก
redeemed
I absolutely love playing Pathfinder but his heirloom is ๐ฌ
you are not allowed to have fun 
Man, they really did an amazing job making another legend with an annoying personality
Can we get 3 in a row?
Canโt wait to hit silver
Every champ has an annoying personality when they spam voice lines every 1.2 seconds.
The Franklin
i dont have will power to open apex alone anymore need somebody to tell me to 
Open apex
transgender apsex legends!
Not funny!
After about 150 kills and 40 games.
New legend is honestly kinda mid. But I'm giving it a week like I did with ash
I'd like to get off being a wraith / lifeline main
But I don't see it happening yet.
Dropped 2 15+ kill games and 1 23
new legend is kinda great, if they fix the bugs she has and make the blind on her ulti more deadly. It looks like they nerfed the blind compared to the preview, were probably afraid it was going to be too much visual clutter. I think design wise it's good, but bugs/inconsistencies, especially with her ult, are making her feel weaker than the design intended
my irl buddy was using her really well when we played, though it was just pubs and nothing high skill
It's 2022 apex.
Pubs these days are Plat II lobbies
other issue I think is the same one caustic faces, that she's immune to enemy abilities, which is dumb. I hate that about caustic as well, it means she's a hard counter to herself which makes no sense from a balance perspective
But comp is still the same.
Valk horizon seer.
Horizon is about to climb pick rate this season
yes in her current state she is not comp viable, that I agree with
octane? Why do you think so
The map is big
Pad to hit zipline from a height you can't jump to in a sticky situation to get away if need be
Pad is strong on this map.
I'm a die hard octane main but I feel like he's just out classed atm compared to others
Yeah zip system makes the map smaller and rotating 300x easier
pathfinder is honestly fantastic but I can't play any of the tall characters
Path is fun. Ranked or pubs.
But his heirloom 
I feel like I'm gonna fall into my monitor. And pathy is tall as fuck
I have it and it's turned off
yea I don't have one yet either, but I'm almost at my 500 pity packs
I've been sitting on shards for 3 seasons now
so soon my octane will have a butterfly drug knife ๐
Waiting to see wraith mythic. And honestly, exceeded my expectations
I think second stage is so much cooler than 3rd stage for that
can you freeze it at stage 2?
also, I need a clip of when a dust/snow plume obscures target during a gunfight, does anyone have one handy? I know it happens a ton but I don't have a good clip demonstrating the issue
Approx top 100 cata on pc 
And prob top 10 that's mnk 
hey I've been trying to improve at apex but I'm not really sure how to
it's super funny
any1 do some quick 1v1s in firing range that has recording or clipping avail? I just need a few fights to try and grab a clip showing an example of a dust plume covering target when hitting terrain or object. Should only be a few fights before one of us gets a decent clip showcasing that issue
When you ask yourself this question think of your strong and weak points.
If you're always dying ask yourself this, what happened that lead to this.
We're you not looking? Did you play the terrain or were you in the open. Did you have player disadvantage (2v1). Ect.
Once you figure out your weak points, start looking into why they are. And adjust.
For example
Your long range is good but your close range isn't.
Firing range strafe tracking shooting the dummies from various angles and distances is not a bad place to start.
Use all kinds of weapons not just one or two.
It's not an ideal scenario since the dummies don't mirror / have random strafe patterns. But again, it's a start.
Spend some time in the range before queueing into pubs.
its actually hard to improve decision making
and its worse when so many things just happen so fast
It's not something that happens overnight, no.
You need to change the way you play and for some it's difficult
Some people don't think ahead. They think of the moment
And that's fine, sometimes that's all you need. But you will need to think ahead of time.
It's like chess, you want to be ahead of your opponent
classic
i have a bad problem with minor decisions in fights like where i reposition while moving back where i tak off angles relative to enemies and teamโs position
Making decisions happen on the fly. As most situations require you to.
One thing won't work on everyone.
Repositioning is prob the biggest fundamental I think everyone should practice daily
Or as often as you play
Aiming makes up a major, but minor portion of apex
You can have the best aim in the world and the worst game sense.
You will still lose 50/50
^
i think i aim is decent but i just die too much
also i think i panic alot while playing br
And don't fret. Pros have some of the greatest game sense. And they still get folded.
So just because it's taking you time. Don't think you're bad.
There's always room for improvement.
bro I'm fucking laughing my ass off at that
do you happen to have the other dudes perspective as well?
don't have it, sadly, or at least I didn't see it on Torje's twitter
i have 1800 hours in this game and I have never had an audio issue
not. even. once.
just cope with the fact that someone walked / crouched on you
i do that all the time
Don't act like I'm wrong, I've seen your gameplay ๐
In the full clip, you can see him use his ability literally 30 meters away and suddenly close behind me in 10 seconds. You don't get Rev's passive on every character ๐
L bozo
i don't always play rev
and that's not the point
i'd be the one making no sounds, not the enemies
I always hear all of them, all the time.
if anything, sound is the least of the problems in this game
nice to know
they just like zips tbh
idk if its me but i enjoy watching yt clips of ppl showing their kovaaks gains on apex
i love every single of those montages
To be fair and this will be a hot take
Youโre watching apex gains on apex
Theyโre just playing kovaaks as well as apex
my recent gains is definitely a result of aim training on kovaaks, though
I was hardstuck in aim for a very long time despite playing a lot
Wont discredit the fact it can help
But a lot of the montages are just people who got better at the game
still occasionally revert to dumbfuck old me but my tracking is so much noticeably better even though I had been trying to practice that a long time in apex
even just recognizing smooth tracking oppurtunities and reactive tracking, despite my kovaaks scores not really going up for tracking over time, I now do much better in apex itself
Glad you found something that worked for you 
for me sometimes i have random moments where im like oh my tracking actually worked, i couldnt do this before
definitely. Or some of the kills you get are just much cleaner than they used to be. Most of my old clips the kills are really messy, even if I do get them
in apex? Like 1.3k for Apex. Not sure how many hours I have since starting aim practicing.
In FPS total? I have like 8k hours, if not more, before starting aim training in kovaaks. That was just playing and whatever I learned naturally. But that's like, over more than a decade, I'm pretty old so I just had more time
damn i dont have that much time
yea I'm also a boomer
it's not like it was 8k hours in a few years, that's over a decades worth of playtime aggregate. You'll have as much or more at my age if you keep gaming at all
1v1 practice anyone?
same for me
although i have less hours than that
Is matchmaking still broken
I got into a full silver lobby while ranking in plat
Even my random third was silver
hehehe
that does not sound right, that should not be happening
unless your region is dead or you're plaaying in the middle of the night or something
Nah, matchmaking always allows for too much variance. It really feels like they don't give a fuck about ranked these days.
It's basically just two ranked modes but one comes with cosmetics.
dude im silver and got in lobby with pred
That especially happens on the first match after resetting too, it always thinks you're at your previous rank and throws you into nutty lobbies.
yea
I remember first day of reset and I got triple pushed by Timmy, Hal, and i can't remember the third lol.
Meanwhile my two teammates were legit silver.
I mean, it was whatever. I actually don't mind losing to better players.
It's just everything else in the equation that bothers me. The poor ranked system, the unfixed ranked bugs since the dawn of time, the refusal to tighten the matchmaking or at least make pubs not infested with EOMM.
Like my first pub match yesterday was 20k stacks holding hands and Preds like scrappy, and my teammate had a level 100 first prestige with 300 kills on their main.
DAM
i will never get a 4k
why? Just shoot more and go faster
seems like go slower is better advice
if you just kill a team instantly you cant farm damage
Idk seems that matchmaking is kinda broken
I meant more go faster inbetween fights, less downtime or time spent looting/exploring, or resetting after fights
Last day of last season many streamers were sitting on rankedq for 10+ minutes
Shit was stuck on '10 people in queue' kinda thing
might be
I've also been consistently getting high ping lobbies on pubs
Like 150+ping but idk if that's anyway related with the ranked thing
Literally just farm damage?
Helped a friend get a 4k on catalyst yesterday
Just damage farming last 2 teams

im not sure how to do that
Do big damage to a team and let them reset
Repeat as you see fit
Pathy and Valk are so weird. Like certain angles they have more holes than swiss cheese, and other times they feel massive.
any pubbers in chat
this the stuff sticking out of their back, valk is so hard for me to track sometimes if they strafe well
my eyes just look at silhouettes so its op
sucky stats
Yeah, if you're not centered you can miss so many shots
somehow my kdr this season is 2. something
That's because you aren't a novice
novice mnk player +1 nah my tracking is cringe
might steal it 
later i need some feedback on a playlist i made for apex
I need a third arena bronze badge. Last season I threw every placement match but ended up with silver 3
my man drinking some monster
only some.
forbidden badge
tfw you have obs open and u get bombarded by loud follow notification
tinnitus inc
i will eventually get my 100 arena streak
i plan to solo queue it too
that sounds like the most aids thing you could set out to do in apex
not gonna lie
its why mine has said 12 since arenas dropped
i havnt touched arenas in months
i think i did it for the arena badges. but there was a whole badge event that was strictly arenas that i just didnt do.
even as a badge collector myself. i didnt want to put myself through it
think it was like "play 50 arena games" or something dumb.
no shot chief
something like that. i just dislike arenas
yep
๐
I thought they would nerf it, but they didn't
Respawn actually braindead with this one ngl
it should have been 50 rounds
oh for sure. i just didnt want to torture myself of hours of arenas
for a badge i honestly wouldnt use
I don't blame you lol
I solo'd to masters in arena a few times, the gamemode is actual pain
won every single game - 1 and got placed in silver.
while my buddy got gold.
havnt touched it since
honestly makes you realize how good br is in comparison, because you don't get 100% hammer point mozam and devo every fucking game
yeah the system is so bad
if you lose too many games your mmr is basically fucked forever
and you're gonna be hitting like -12 +12 ap
i honestly might high tier LFG for those going for arenas streaks.
meanwhile pred players are getting +120 against you
i want the badge
it's a p neat badge ye
maybe ill set out and start it next year.
๐
i wish this was a thing.
that master of all badge is 
every time I see that badge I think of that 5 black guys + white chick meme
its a solid one.
good afternoon apex players
afternoon. its been 3 hours of me having apex open and i still havnt played a single game
the thought of spending my time solo queue is demotivating these days.
but new map and new legend bro!!!! /s
i keep tabbing out bc ihave dual monitors so ill will accidentally clicout while being in my inventory
season 0 bug btw
no it's anytime your mouse is up



for a better tomorrow
