Yeah his 1.2 kd in ranked LMAO
i'd ego him in realm but realm doesn't have APAC yet
Not even 2 K/D and 10% W/R with roller and still egoing people?
Sounds like Apex community.
mate
everyone's just egoing me coz i am not in realm
how do plat players have so much confidence
๐ญ
Your not in realm? Please dont talk anymore. Realm is a true measurement of skill and nothing else will be accepted 
wait he's a changed man now
????
Realm at lvl 270 with a 3k badge?
That means i should be able to get in ๐
lets not question it
๐
Don't even give me the stats, give me that mental fortitude to struggle through all that visual clutter, server issues, audio issues, rampant cheating, and busted rotational.
uninstall, its the only solution
do you just have the goat aim in-game or you just hella smart @wary star
i mean realistically hollow only ever got vt diamond and all but like
1500 average score is a lot
it depends how you play for sure
if you hot drop solo 1v3 or do a lot of ranked your avg will be lower
just cus you'll die earlier on more
yeah but if you play solo with randoms your score will be higher too
cuz no cracked teammates to instakill people or steal damage
6
i usually no fill for just play with my friends
plus if you hot drop you get 1k from just cleaning the drop
i guess youโre just way smarter than me
๐ฅน
I have it installed but I honestly haven't played Apex worth shit in the last 5 months.
I'm antiqued, though. I can't do it anymore. Too many controller players and I can't adapt to it
I still play like I have the best aim in the lobby and that stops working when everyone has better aim than I do
my aim isn't even good. It's a tragedy, a sad story
It's pretty bad when BF2042 is a mess and has barely any existing skill gaps and plenty of cheesy gadgets but it still tilts me far less than Apex.
hardstuck jade thinks he got skills
thats the spirit
I still stuck on the same things that I been struggling with forever. Overaim during tracking, struggle focusing eyes on target, prediction. Same things I been stuck with for over 6 months aim training. I got a little faster and a little more accurate but the core fundamental concepts I still haven't been able to get
no matter how much I practice those things just keep being there
aim training is not all, im not even diamond but have no issues aiming ingame
yea but they carry into game
a bit
no, for me, those issues
they're not kovaaks issues. They're things I struggle with in game and tried to practice out, but haven't been able too
just... problems with the core technique of aiming that I can't fix no matter how much I practice
and I know they're there, I recognize when I'm doing them, and I try to actively fix them, but they don't go away. I tell myself "focus on target" then immediately don't do that as I'm actively trying to do it
so hardstuck jade I am and hardstuck getting shit on by controller players because even recognizing my poor aim doesn't help me play smarter at all
can't teach old dog new tricks lmao
i had this issue
in my case it was just a mental block
Apex is also a mental block 
how do you unblock lol. Idk I think for me it's just that it's habitual and I can't seem to break the habit. I played FPS games for a long time and it became ingrained before I started trying to aim train
umm
I'd like to eventually hit GM but after jumping from intermediate to advanced I think I'm gonna stay in my lane lol. Especially since I still have lots of work to do on static and TS.
I practice those thigns and get them down for like, a few hours, then over time it just slowly reverts to how I used to aim, even when i start actively reminding myself not to do them
every day the sme thing
funny thing is
some days I can focus eyes pretty well and feel great, then next day same thing once again I can't get my eyes to focus
i was hard stuck plat
i stopped doing kovaaks for 2 weeks
came back and instantly got diamond complete
out of nowhere
I'm like, telling myself outloud "focus eyes on target" every time I go to aim and my eyes are just like "what is focus?"
and i did the same thing when i was jade
took 2 weeks break
came back and hit masters
Sometimes a break can assist the process and help us break free from some short term tendencies.
Growth is so nonlinear sometimes it's funny.
i zone out sometimes in csfi
still
and i still have some predicting issues
my aim in game has gotten so much better
I take breaks. That did happen when I went to play tarkov, I came back and went to high jade after being mostly diamond
but after a few days again went back to same problem
and my scores dropped down to below where they were
when something is new I can focus pretty well, because ADHD works like that, so it makes sense I can focus better after a break
when i was actively working on my prediction issues i had terrible scores
Yeah, fluctuations are pretty standard. What matters is the averages over each period and those usually trend up.
I'm trying, though, to break habits and they come back is the issues
and my scores haven't gone back up at all
they're in low plat atm i'm just struggling
people did tell me to monitor my scores and see the upward trend to motivate myself to break the mental block of being stuck
And like Zai said, when you focus on fundamentals you definitely drop score. I've been focusing more on being well centred over trying to lead the target and naturally my scores dropped but overall it helped.
but i cba, too much effort and just took a break LOL
and came back and saw scores improve and got motivated to grind a bit
for me it's the opposite lol I just get mega depressed. I turned off all score tracking and it helped me not get tilted and feel more positives
but that doesn't help when I notice myself making the same mistakes and can't seem to correct the habits
I miss Ridd 
it means that your brain gets proper communication to rewire
Hope homie is out there somewhere with a nice beer.
but if you really are getting depressed then you should probably take a break
ik the scores don't matter that much but I really just want to be able to get my eyes to focus on targets. If I can make that a habit, I think like 50% of my problems are fixed
turning off scores was best idea
for me. Still, why can't I make my eyes focus on the target? Even when I'm like, verbally telling myself to focus on the target
it's insane that i was immortal in valorant and was praised for good aim with VT gold aim LOL
It's also good to just break away from grinding the benches and looking for those kinds of goals. It's a good initial motivator but long term I think it's best to really isolate fundamentals and tighten everything up, and try new scenarios.
yaI haven't done them in a while, but that's also because I know I haven't actually gotten any better
I don't really know how to approach these issues. Like how do I undo literally a decade of bad habit of not focusing on targets? My eyes just... don't listen
I feel that. I struggle focusing target to target when I do static and end up using my peripheral vision like I often do. I flick to target faster that way but I also have worse microcorrections and don't confirm the hit. In those situations though we can only try and slow things down a bit and remember we're working on long term goals and not short term improvements.
on what scen
ya but like, I'm on over 6 months of trying to practice those 3 things
any target and anygame. Even if I turn off crosshair my eyes doesn't quite focus on the target. Like they're looking at my screen and I can see but the eyes aren't focused. I can only focus on them occasionally
It takes time, especially if we're breaking bad habits. I'm nearing 500 hours in Kovaaks and I'm still probably worse in some aspects than I was a year ago.
ik this is something people with ADHD generally really struggle with
When I tried to reduce tension in my grip when playing guitar it took me a solid 7 months going really slow and really focusing on it and even now I still have moments where it pops up, but now I know what to look for and can immediately correct it.
but like the advice and stuff I find online are obviously from more casual players, not people who are really good so I can't really find good advice on it
like this guys advice is to play lower sense and don't track, just flick
I hear if you change DPI to 400 it solves all your problems 
that's not good advice even for ADHD. Other guy says he's shaky so he turns down sens. But that's not cus of your ADHD, it's cus you aren't good at aiming
I kind of understand some of them, for example, I can't keep my hands still so my screen is all over the place
but most of my ADHD isn't expressed physically it's mentally even when medicated. And I don't wanna sit here and try to follow advice from people who are obviously just not good to begin with
so just struggling to find good advice or ideas to help me overcome these blocks. I know it's gonna take me more time but atm I thinnk I'm treading water and until I can learn to focus my eyes any other improvement is impossible. It doesn't matter how good my actual tracking is if I can't focus on the target because my brain wanders
feels like you are playing kovaaks on extra hard mode
idk, did you try just focus on target but doing nothing except it. Make all of you concentration on that process?
yes, I did. And it works for a short while, but eventually that becomes impossible. I don't have the ability to focus for extended periods of time, it's just not possible
I even practiced without crosshair for a bit to try and force myself to focus on just the target
hmm, seems your eyes need a rest
bro it's 11 AM I been awake for like less than 2 hrs
I've done like 4 scenarios lol
how can they need a rest already
but I rest them for a few minutes every 30 mins
Also seems like you're a bit in your own head with it. Like I totally get the frustration, but it also seems exacerbated. It's OK for us to lose focus, we just need to make a note if we've done anything fundamentally wrong and then just reset or take a break.
inbetween games I close eyes and relax or look outside window
ya man I do all that, I make note and I understand. The problem is I've been making that note a dozen times a day for over 6 months(we're actually at like 8 or 9) and then nothing comes of it
this may not be enough
Like I really do recognize and understand what I'm doing wrong, and I know what I need to do to fix it, but it doesn't fix even while I'm trying to fix, right
i hope you overcome it
bro I am so bad at staic
static is hard
so is dynamic
and tracking
and target switching
hmm
aiming is hard
Big same 
I just wanted 1200
cause this is my last diamond score everything else is master a few jade scores
but this shit kills my mental health
I have master on multiclick but my 1w5ts is like 1120. Pure garbo.
1150 my best
yeah i got masters in multiclick
usually around 1k though
I am just gonna grind like a smaller version for the rest of the week
then try put a pb before I go for the weekend
I actually get around the same scores in advanced as I do intermediate
which means I probably go too slow, since I'm just as accurate on the smaller dots as the larger ones
at the same time that's really funny cus it means I could hit GM at the same time or before I hit masters on that scenario LUL
https://i.imgur.com/R3LnZOM.png
struggle is real. my avg so low
I'm probably the most inconsistent aimer in the universe
Nah, I'd definitely not go as far to say anything like that. You're doing well, just gotta get over that mental block you carry with you. Your Apex clips are a testament to that.
Kovaaks is good fun and all, but aim is still only part of the equation. You're mechanically talented.
honestly though my clips though are example of that. I'll get nothing even remotely decent for 5 days, then have a good aim day and I'll grab a dozen good clips in 1 day
I have higher scores than some in this discord who would absolutely body me 99% of the time.
I know I can't be incredible everyday, but my entire goal has been to improve my consistency when it comes to aim training. I don't really care all that much about my scores in kovaaks, tbh. I just want more consistently good aim
Also, Apex is an extremely difficult game to get consistent clips off of. You have so many systems in place working against you intentionally. It's just the nature of predatory matchmaking and rotational aim assist/visual clutter/audio clutter.
ya one of the reasons I barely play apex anymore tbh
the visual clutter especially. I have such a hard time focusing on targets and in apex it's just that much harder
Consistency is largely down to mental and physical condition, but ultimately we're still human and have highs and lows. All we can do is improve our baseline average.
ya. if I can get my baseline avg around jade, I will be happy. That was always my goal. Avg jade, peak masters maybe a GM or two
imo that is where any additional aim hits massive diminishing returns. You can always improve aim, but you're gonna be good and consistent enough for any game and then every other skill starts becoming more and more important
Exactly, that's why I chose to focus so much on improving my aim: so I would no longer need to focus on it and spend more time in game thinking about my mechanics.
ya same. If I can get down to focus on target and then stop overaiming while tracking(which I think are really closely related) I think I can hit that. Then I just need to work a bit on decision making, specifically, knowing when to give up space or disengage, and I think I'll be significantly better
my first instinct when I get shot isn't to seek cover or reposition, it's turn and aim duel. which is not a great strat
This^
I got like 5 clips yesterday and the day before i got 1 clip
I need to play cover a bit better, and do better with acknowledging when it's not my "turn", instead of trying to force it
Big same, I do the same thing and just ego challenge every aim duel and forget Apex is a game about attrition over gun skill.
perhaps you are focusing off the target due to the fact that there are a lot of flashes in apex
Any FPS really, except for mega fast TTK games like call of duty, is a game of attrition. Applying pressure, maintaining map control, and understanding "turns" is 99% of fps gaming outside of aim
Precisely why I main BF lately because I can just ego everyone and get away with it 
Only game where you can land in front of 7 people with no cover and get 5 of them before you go down.
Yea. It's tough because if you're really playing to be the best, that's actually a mistake. Like, sure, you're gonna a 5:1 kdr, but you are better off playing for long streaks and map control if your ultimate goal is to have a big impact on the game and play for victory
If you kill 3, then give space during their turn, and kill the other 4, you've done better, even though it won't look as impressive or flashy
in BF it can be really tough to give space or reset, though, because ofthe fast TTK. So you have to decide whether you have enough of an advantage to just kill them all or if you want to risk potentially being shot by someone you maybe could have killed in a more risky plaay
To be fair most of the time that happens it's because I'm grapple hooking into the unknown and people are just "playing with their friends" aka two full squads with Respawn beacons and claymores everywhere roleplaying their favourite milsim in discord.
BF players are a whole different breed.
ya it's a different game. I think I started struggling a lot when I shifted mindset when I was streaming
I started trying to play flashy and make big plays, but got into a bad habit, instead of playing smarter and for longer kill streaks, because despite it being better, it's not entertaining and doesn't look as good
Unless you're playing breakthrough, in which case deleting people as fast as possible and being aggressive is the way to go
Breakthrough is just hoping the other 31/63 people are capable of standing near a single point 
well, what I'm saying doesn't mean you are less aggressive or don't get as many kills
being aggressive is important and that's part of the "taking space" and map control. You can't get map control by being passive, and you can't take space by being passive, either
You also just hope like hell you're not queued into defense.
All it means is that you recognize when your turn is over and then give up space(if you need too) until it's your turn again.
For example, think about apex. You'll see Sweet do this all the time. If you need to pop a bat, do you stand your ground behind cover and pop a bat, or do you backup to the next piece of cover and pop a batt there?
99% of the time, you want to backup to the next piece of cover. If you stay where you are and pop a batt, you will get naded or pushed. If you backup to next piece of cover, you buy yourself twice as much time and give yourself the chance to catch the enemy while they are out of cover
how did he get his skill confirmed by other players
And turn that around, too. If you crack someone, and they pop a bat right in that cover, you know their exact position and exact timing. You can nade or push them and you'll be at a huge advantage. If they backup and you swing that corner and they're not there, you are now exposed, they're behind cover and finished their batt and will damage you.
I thought masters was the baseline
so that's all I'm talking about when I say give up space when it's not your turn

that firing range is wild
I like how NOW they update the firing range
when that was needed so long ago, before TDM and control was a regular playlist
lol
also no more construction that's a W
BIG W
they reworked the multilevel buildings cus they couldn't fix sound LMAO
he doesn't know
oh shit
same with harvester
I mean it's going to be a big spot for rank I think
actually that location does kind of suck, it's right next to big maude
"NEW VAULT NEAR SKYHOOK"
which is a great drop location
finally it makes sense
They're probably just trying to stop 99% of the lobby landing fragment and dying by minute 5.
When the feature launches, all players will start with every weapon at level 1 and can start progressing their weapon levels by using them in any game mode. These levels are account wide and do not reset with seasons. Having a weapon in hand, dealing damage, securing kills, and fighting with style will all generate Weapon XP for that weapon. Every 20 levels, a weapon specific trial will unlock for you to test your skill with that weapon and reward you for completion. Get your weapon to level 100 and finish all five trials to fully โmasterโ that weapon and earn the final rewards. Each weapon mastery track will earn players weapon-specific badges, lifetime performance trackers, Legendary weapon mastery banner frames, and** a guaranteed Legendary skin for each weapon.**
ok so they did do it
@floral lodge
)
didn't last long
I like how they finally figured out how to walljump for their gameplay videos lol
like the guy who makes these was so proud of himself for figuring it out he did it like 5 times
As per usual though it's a lot of little fluff but probably nothing at all with the extremely contentious points that stop me from playing. Good for the default skin lifelines I guess.
just wait till he discovers tap strafing. His mind gonna be blown
Be careful though โ the Evac Tower has a limited duration and will slowly take damage over time. Enemies and allies can also shoot the balloon to accelerate this process, destroying both the Evac Tower and your hopes of escaping. Pay attention to where you deploy because your evac may be hotter than anticipated!

yeah no one is going to be able to use this in ranked
I meant comp
FR, balloon will get focused by 10 teams all at once.
it doesn't look very tall
Fuck, I was just typing that lol
idk what is up with my apex, i stutter like hell on the main menu, and the game doesn't even go fullscreen
the game has never ran without problems smh
10k Nemesis, 10k charge rifle, 20k on Spitfire gonna be the banner to look out for.
wat da crow doin
I have same issue apex is really stuttery atm can't fix it
if you figure it out lemme know
t-pose to establish dominance
@quaint karma next time you on kovaaks, can you record a run of MCA-8 auto balanced fast strafes
ty. So it looks like you deliberately track a bit slower instead of trying to match speed exactly. That makes a lot of sense for anticipating short strafes. When it comes to in-game aim, how do you decide between matching strafe speed or underaiming like this, in anticipation of many shorter strafes?
well if they start short strafing they generally keep doing it
idk its just like a technique you apply when you see someone short strafing
and if they stop
well youre gonna miss for a tiny bit ig
you react bro
you train your aim so you dont have to think about this shit
your brain just tracks this mf, this is also why most times if you see someone strafing like this ingame they can only get clipped by a roller
if you train you will def do more dmg but this kinda strafe is very hard for mnk to one clip
dont get me wrong though its still a bad strafe
i feel like its a bad strafe because someone with shit aim could potentially do as much dmg to you as someone with good aim by not moving their mouse at all and just keeping it at centre mass
yea but realistically that doesn't happen often, unless it's a clicking weapon like wingman or cassidy from OW
oh it does
against tracking I think it's insanely strong. Just not in apex because of controller
maybe, but i feel like in comp games you are only as good as people you lose to
trying to hit a kiriko doing that in OW is really tough. No momentum. If you're cassidy it's ok cus clicking, otherwise if you're on a tracking heavy champ like soldier it's really tough to get good damage in
and if you lose to an mnk player that doesnt have to move his mouse to track then ur dog
at the end of the day its best to strafe with bias and complain about aim assist
if you do that kinda strafe in apex you're throwing, already said don't do it. Chances your opponent are controller anyway, doing short strafes is suicide
but short strafes can have bias, there's no reason to say you won't have a bias
you can short strafe quick with bias. Which is what most people do in OW, even at masters ranks
I agree bias-less short strafes isn't good, especially if you do it multiple times in the same game and don't switch it up
honestly though that's actually definitely something I can improve on, right there. Recognizing when my enemies are going to short strafe versus when they'll be long strafing and adjusting my aiming strategy better. That and decoupling my movement from my opponents better, sometimes I force the mirror to hard and end up baiting myself into biasless short strafing by trying to anti-mirror them too hard. I should be doing strafes that keep me evasive instead of trying to anti-mirror
I think forcing the anti-mirror is a habit I picked up in apex, since the best way to strafe vs controllers is anti-mirror into long strafe, but I am applying it in other games where controllers don't exist and basing my strafe off the enemies strafe too much
maybe just me but i feel like this process isnt as conscious as you think it should be
It's not, but that's part of issue right? I taught myself a way to strafe, but then apply it unconsciously everywhere even when it's not relevant. Except the method of strafe I use was specific to apex
People short strafe in ow cause you just become a blur and gurantee dodge like 50% of shots, you can legit just mash ad and ctrl brainlessly
so I need to consciously apply my strafe to every game I play until each game I have a good or unique strafe for that game
and it becomes unconscious again and I can swap to correct strafe for whichever game I'm playing without having to think about it
rewording it I guess I'm using a niche strafe tech as a general strafe tech and hurting myself as a result
Yeah, short strafes only work in games with fast AD speeds.
Most of the time you'll otherwise eat too many shots by someone not even moving their aim, and it's awful vs roller.
Better to long strafe, short mixup, and go back to long at least in modern FPS.
Your strafe should be conscious tbh
In apex for sure
Try to choke out the enemy into a corner type shit
what i meant by this is the whole switching up your aim based on their strafe
As long as your strafe is uncomfortable to hit for the other guy
Is all that matters ig
the process is conscious at first anyways
and once you get enough reps in
you do it instinctively
if you are interested in dodging and strafe aiming you should watch sam's coaching vods and shit
have you a link?

Decided to publish one of my private sessions, since this one pretty clearly shows the most important fundamentals. Can be considered a supplementary video to my https://bysam.github.io/strafe guide (which btw, is a required pre-reading for this video).
Goated map rotation
I almost left to valo
damm
Because of the current rotation?
not just that
i was frustated
never playing valo again man, it made me question my existence
i became depressun

cool af
nice
IDK about that tactical
he RE-45 returns to floor loot, being replaced in the Care Package by the L-Star, and the Alternator and Sentinel are heading into the Crafter.
what the fuck
I don't even want to think about a care package lstar
Noko salivating
found the rampart main
no joke tho that tactical better ramp up slow on the victim
imagine not being allowed to shoot in a shooter
hoping it serves to punsish lmgs, people running at you with the guys ult or shiela
or it should at least be a skillshot
playing apex in 2023
got superior positioning on top of a building
enemy team horizon lifts on me, wallhacks me and disables my ability to shoot

"When season 17, Arsenal, launches on May 9, it will bring a โsignificant foundational shiftโ to ranked that includes a new points system, matchmaking updates, split changes, and a renewed focus on competitive integrity."
competitive integrity?
that should be separated input matchmaking
but I doubt it is

there has to be a reason ranked is so hard to get right for modern games
Key points:
โNew scoring changes, like only receiving LP for unique kills and assists, means you can no longer farm your points with respawn beacons.โ
โCheaters can no longer sandbag their points to go stomp on lower-skill players.โ
The required account level to access ranked is being increased from level 20 to level 50
weโre adding provisional matches to better gauge placement at the beginning of your ranked journey for the season.
implementation of new detection methods for cheaters
No matter your ranked level, the entry cost is now static and the scoring for placement remains consistent in every division. Bonuses are now applied to your score based on kills, assists, how challenging of a match you were in, and your ladder level in relation to your place in a new hidden MMR skill rating.```
Queuetimes, and fps games arent designed for top level players. For br its extra hard because you have 60+ people that need to be matched and theres so much variance inherently in the game mode
This would be the best thing they can ever do
But its crazy steamcharts shows some of the biggest numbers for Apex but I swear queues are worse now then they've ever been. And I run into the same ppl all the time in my matches
because ranked as a concept clashes with the idea of engagement optimized matchmaking
they can't coexist. But todays matchmaking is alll about engagement
not quality
cheaters
I'm sure that the MMR system is going to suck for MNK players
here's what it's gonna do
Gonna look only at cqc aim with r9. The more consecutive hits you hit on avg, the higher your MMR

hoenstly I'm really curious about how they're gonna do MMR. If it uses actual combat stats it'll heavily favor controller players
not really
it sounds interesting though, maybe now you dont have to spend 600 games a season to get pred
bro fuck that
50 dmg for shooting what 10 bullets of a p20?
looks like he cant just use it in a 1 tho
but still cant feel good to go against
Taking damage for using your own gun is bad design in a so called competitive FPS or any FPS for that matter
Agreed
Prob time for me to perma uninstall apex
That says a lot
I didnt play Apex or any FPS for a year but Xdefiant got me back and nothing scratches that itch for me so Im stuck with Apex
R5r good enough to scratch itch
Is that active? And could I get banned for it?
Yeah and youll go to jail
honestly?
the funniest part is this character doesn't even sound too good in comparison to other legends
like the ult is pretty bonkers, but the tac and passive I don't mind
Can he fly or not
I would rather have to face ballistic than horizon or seer or caustic
he can't fly
He flies in the trailer smh
his ult reload speed is fucking bonkers
Hes just worse than i expected
Ballistic with R9 will be a monster
I though hed just have infinity mags during ult
yeah I agree
but at the same time I can definitely see his ult be game winning for teamfights
but overall I think he's going to be the lesser cancer of the game
compared to other legends
so I count this as a win
O man
you might be able to run a pk on his sling though
it's probably the least worst shotgun with no bolt
but at the same time it looks he can put golden guns in there?
which is fucking ridiculous
would kinda defeat the point of the sling
I thought it becomes golden
probably shouldn't be able to put stuff in there or care package guns
Thought on next map rotation in season 17 ?
likely KC, WE, and some other map
Yepp
@unborn token we got the almost same sens, tell me is the skypad the best pad for tracking ?
if I turn texture streaming budget up a bit, does it increase visual clutter?
I'm trying to find settings where I can make enemy models pop a bit more but without turning up bullshit like smoke from the barrel, muzzle flash
all that shit
Idk tbh bro
aight, i might try lowering res and turning up some settings and see if i can find sum
some cunt was shooting an L star at me and i just straight up couldnt see him
like I was flashbanged. obv that wont change with any settings, just thought it was funny lolz
fuckin hate not being able to see what I'm shooting at. If I jump over to any other game I surprise myself that my tracking is better than I thought. Then I realize it's because I can actually fuckin see
Iโm on the sale problem but me itโs cause Iโm on a tn display so I can see nothing
overlay crosshair helps a bit through all the visual clutter
but targets can still disappear 
yeh? Which is a good overlay crosshair program?
anyone trynna play some apex
Yes it is
said the controller player
When you master letting go of the right stick
i suprised that i can still play well enough with 30 cm i pretty much done everything on 43
you can play on p much any sens if you practice it
ive played on anything from 57 to 25 but found my sweet spot is 43
I think I liked 38 as well
how long do u guys think it takes to learn to drive
2 weeks if you have played mario cart
1hr everyday
apex actually
ur kidding?
my pad is 10 inch in width will it work lol
: D
i am on 28 cm right now
i like to go extremes. yesterday i wsa on 14 cm
i like it
fast
i am trying new grip and i tried valorant yesterday with 28 cm
i got 26 kills havent played in 3 months
i am getting used to fast sens now
wait if i play fast sens a lot and play low sens am i limiting my aiming potential
i think if anything that would improve mouse control so i dont see how it would hurt
i feel like ive gotten much better from trying new sens regularly
no cap
actually im lying
hudsight
it costs 7 bucks
i only got cash now
is there a free one
i have used the onee
Damn. I'm over here at 25cm wondering if you guys are getting mousepad burns on your arms
Lmfao i used to play about 43cm on an mpc450 way back
That shit was rough
Like the pad
Sometimes id actually feel the burn
Like if i moved with too much pressure
But it wasnt common
My Hien has claimed many an arm hair.
Is increasing sens after getting better aim common?
Decrease aim to improve then bring it back?
Changing is just a natural part of the process, and you'll also find what works for each game you play. I maybe settle on a sens in game for like a month before I switch it up.
It's important to remember that there's never a perfect sens, so don't be afraid to experience with a variety of sensible ranges.
ok thanks @little verge
swimmers shave their heads to move ever so slightly faster in the water. I think its time we aimer do the same and shave off our arm hairs to increase speed by 0.0001 cm/s
its obv the reason I miss so many shots
im playing 43cm on an artisan zero and sometimes it straight feels like sandpaper lmao
Buttering up my Skypad for extra smoothness
please permaban that humham2 person
on the server
im on my knees
hes literally only there to waste my time and i dont think my existence should be used like that
that guy runs away from every fight, plays headglitches and gets farmed
just literally there to waste peoples time
ok i just got spun around maybe 74cm is too low, im wondering about in game mouse accel and if anyones tried it
i imagine if youre going to use accel youre better off making a custom one with raw accel
yeah just make your own curve
also no idea why you would play anything above 43 cm for apex
im new to kbm so my approach is to soften misses, and its really hard to have rough misses on such a low sens. i get so much free smoothness and im not getting lost mid fight
great for building speed too
No more realm?
What will the 1kd plat players in realm do, now that they cant flex that they are in realm
my thoughts exactly
like LITERALLY exactly
itโs gotten to the point where i just type in rest to skip him
on a genburten mnk video
๐๐
im pretty sure moving while looting and getting one clipped in style evens it out
its like half the people in control have world class tracking i wonder how
better input
watching controller pros try mnk is actually super fun, you get to see what it looks like when someones tracking is miles above their mouse control
yeah def
also kinda shows to me how mechanics are actually the more trivial part of the game. having any fucking clue whats going on is basically nearly everything
yeah
didn't you know Genburten is an mnk crybaby now?

gen isnt just actually good
i think hes better than almost anyone ive seen play mnk on apexs
apex
I mean most of the roller players have alot of experience on mnk
man what
I get 1250 on 1w5ts pokeball but on the bench scen i cant get 1200
scammer get scammed
skin development > quality control for their blogposts xD
who would have thought
no new skins for weapon mastery
rip
you should get a reactive skin for completing weapon mastery
mfs on they way to complete the flatline mastery
but ngl the new season sounds hella interesting
best map rotation since literally a year or smt
yeah i want to see the firing range and how rank plays out
to me rn with some of the changes it just sounds like pubs with a ranked badge
and placement is rewarded more than kp
im more of a pub guy anyways so i guess thats fine
I don't really understand the whole matchmaking will not be ranked based it will be skill based
entry cost for all ranks same I guess is fine idk
but does that actually mean that if lower ranked players go for a good game streak they will get matched with higher "rank" players
I think there will be a rank inflation next season anyway
i guess so
wheres the blog post to the ranked changes anyways xD
cant find it on the apex website could you link it :D
but its good that genuine pred level players won't have to deal with keeping up with unrealistic rp caps
it was actually on twitter hold on
apparently bc rp is removed
there won't be like a phyiscal "gain x amount of rp" to rank up
like how there is right now
woah its called lp now instead of rp to emphasize the groundbreaking changes they made
me neither lol
but tbh balancing a br ranked mode is so ass
compared to cs or league where realistically in a game there is 2 outcomes
w or l
but in apex you have like 20 possible outcomes and then with kp all those outcomes have their values changed
that kind of approach wont work in apex tho
idk sounds like a mess defo not a job I would want to do
yeah exactly
cant really imagine how thats gonna play out
idk I hope ranked is good next season but I feel the inflation coming ngl
didnt that skin get nerfed anyways so it looks the same as all the other flatline ironsights
too bad i missed out on it
might even try to get my first diamond badge ๐
it was only solo duos or fives but based on your top 10 games in each playlist you were given a rank
like it was mega casual
sounds fun ngl
but not very rank-y
I have a weird feeling next season might be the same
but then they are gonna reward placement etc more than kills so idk
Why i liked arenas kinda
yeah arena at its core was a good idea just executed so awfully
Yep
I would be super happy if it got an entire rework and came back
I miss arenas
and if they obviously improve anti cheat
but I also get a feeling that arenas will come back in a few seasons
And make it impossible to 6 man
Control and gun run are wayyyy worse imo
like it had its own community and stuff
and respawn will probably figure out some sort of way they can gain from bringing arena back
gun run so baad
like idk arena exclusive skin bundles or some shit
Yes, we knew eachother. It was so toxic. So fun
https://twitter.com/cutnoid/status/1653065701320544256
cool idea actually
they said theyโll release it today im just not sure when
also now the range is massive is it still 3 ppl max
Yeah, it needs to be min 6 ppl
So you can have your own arena games
ill keep my eyes peeled
thx for the info :D
that little 1v1 arena area looks pretty good ngl
all i hope is that they increase the value of kp at the start of matches. feels pretty bad to have like 6 kp and still be negative with 10 teams left
even a +0 at that point would be nice in diamond
Bruh, the weapon mastery should have lije a hilden gun ig you get like 10k kills on it
i was having perfect 100 fps and then my dumbass decided to change some settings and now even after reverting it wont get the previous fps
help
i get 100 fps but it randomly drops to 80 or smthn
can anyone send me their videoconfig.txt
the master of the puffs
all i saw was a superglide
that code snake dude was convinced im either roller or in PL
on the server today
btw who tryna run ranked next season
will shoot gun and listen to IGL 6 quadrillion hours practicing 1v1s will not lose to anyone on mnk
LOL
nah i meant as in
he can do everything a mnk can do
and he does that
of all things
Code Snake is dumb
love it when people superglide into fights lmao
like does he actually think he is hard to hit?
he's probably been doing it to a lot of other people
If hes on roller just use cfg
built up that confidence
i swear the randoms on r5 be the funniest
Or mnk too
is there a streamer to watch for using movement tech sensibly in fights?
i feel like people either dont use them or overdo it
no middle ground
chensou
yeah he uses it when necessary
dont get me wrong he is top 3 in the world on mnk for me
i only watch my friends on twitch but aside from chensou i don't really know others
who use movement sensibly
lyric is probably doing it sensibly now that he is in the comp scene but idk
why is my adaptive resolution fps target locked to 100
learning fast
who are the other 2
hollow
honestly probably stormen too
honestly i cant think of anyone
i only refrain from saying he is the best because i dont like speaking in absolutes
i feel like theres this mechanical cap in mnk
and there are so many people on that level
don't think I have seen anyone with CO consistency
don't think I have seen a player that's good at everything mechanically involved either
even just aim-wise
like recoil control I don't think anyone compares to what I have seen from taskmaster
for y'all is better otsu mid/soft or hien soft for apex?
a few i can name are lou(inconsistent) , nate(very dependent on 'vibes'), mac(can shoot any gun), taskmaster and hardecki i would put above these guys
then theres chensou above the cap
he has roller consistency, go on his stream there is hardly any moment a mag isnt beaming
i dont watch hollow
so i dont know
hollow is kind of an allrounder basically
but if i had to make a top 3, from what i have seen
it would be crust then CO then taskmaster
the only reason i put crust above CO is i think its a bit different 1 clipping people in pubs and doing it in the peak of comp apex
i think Chensou has better aim but i would still rank crust higher
I don't think anyone is close to mnk cap personally
it's just kind of hard to see
the differences
you would have to watch a lot of hours of every player
maybe
he panics way too much and gets hella shaky
that's hard to say
but generally the best people in any sport are usually known
maybe, but the thing is chensou has never been in a situation to panic
man's jittering the wingman
thats my point
as we know the best apex player is some kid living in China
ehhh i dont like this line of thinking
i understand it but i dont like it
lmao I was just making a joke
yea thats just true and real, totally
i like Ras, he has a lot of ranked + decent amount of solo trios videos on his youtube. uses movement very elegantly during fights i would say
crylix, e36_aimbot
naming asian players as they're no t very often talked about
crylix is a god
The aim assist is in your hands now
I tried the video config settings posted above and this game would be unbearable playing it like that lol. Its like someone smeared grease over the monitor
idk man
i have working eyes
and they tell me that chensous aim is way better

gamer
bruh how to be so smooth holy...
yes
The players on R5 are some of the best players I ever faced lol wtfff
I have a question
I watched the Sam video of him helping hollow but he kept saying you didnโt have bias there etc what is bias? It had me confused. Is it when you need to pick which way to strafe or is it when your back is at the wall or when in bad positioning
You strafe out of that
bias is pretty much choosing in what direction you want to strafe, so if i want to antimirror my opponent whos strafing right on my screen, ill want to strafe left, so my bias is left
i think its more like favouring one strafe direction over another
consider the x axis, strafing left or right
a strafe with no bias would be like L-R, L-R,L-R
with bias it would be LL-R,LL-R,LL,R
LL>L obviously
pretty much moving as much to the right as left
moving more to the left
correct me if im wrong anyone but thats my understanding of it
how tf do i even tag this guy
yes
.
On R5 when you leave a server, do you exit at the game or does it eventually take you back to lobby?
for me i have to close the game and reopen
I see Iโm starting to get it then! Thank you
It makes more sense now
disconnect in the console instead
yeye thats what i mean of course
like i said if i wanted to antimirror my favored direction would be left
goddamn we have so many vt masters in this chat now

I wish i was masters
I wish I was gold complete 
Gold complete is like so good
i had a heart attack i am not gonna lie
why do people play like this in pubs
i am surprised i killed him
mf came out ADSed
Had that been a controller player
Not to mention uncharged Nemesis that close.
And since Zai was already pretty much on top of the loot bin there was a predictable strafe.
fuze got that ice cube grip on the nemesis
that just screams controller player
False, controller players dont miss the 3rd burst
Fuse pulled out like an NPC from a trailer
finallyyyyy
This man HisWattson really beat the game and is doing side missions lol

do you have a link to this video?
@potent idol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cLwctD6YSI
Decided to publish one of my private sessions, since this one pretty clearly shows the most important fundamentals. Can be considered a supplementary video to my https://bysam.github.io/strafe guide (which btw, is a required pre-reading for this video).
ty
so close to 7k dude fr

LTM
yeah but its shit
i died a couple of times i couldve gotten a 7k
if i wasnt a fucking moron jumping into people
do u have a yt or someshit i wanna see how tf someone has to play to do that dmg
i dont bro but ima prob post a tage
idfk
ive never had above 4k issh plus on tdm
usually they end fairly fast
idk what that one was
did they all feel like bots or someshit or what
i mean the majority of them where dogshit compared to me
but idk
like 3 of them were on the roller
play nemesis
look at my man danny
majority of people in ltms
are the casual
toddlers on controller
or the mnk dads wth 5 kids
wouldn't this be easier on roller
maybe
but how do you do 1 hand only on roller
without gyro
or super bendy fingers
This is @Garfiel_gh, a Japanese Apex Legends player who was born with a handicap in his left hand, so he plays video games with just one hand...
and he's absolutely cracked
@floral lodge
lmao that fucking pose
looks so funny
dude is a philosopher

he is deep in thought
Real
Is Noko using a mouse with a joystick on it or something? Also wtffff is his aim, looks like aim assist
he is using the razer mouse with a gungilion buttons
"Noko is using the Corsair SCIMITAR for the Hand Solo to Masters challenge It's a 12 button mouse with keybinds to move and do everything without the need of a keyboard"
So mfs always complain ab the server what are better servers or like the upgrades
Hes only good bc of aim assist
Apex is hard locked to dogshit servers until the contract they have with the server provider they are with finishes
There is no solution rn
Apex has THE worst servers of any major game
So what are like good servers look like
Example of games with good server
you don't need any examples
because Apex is an example when people ask what shit servers look like
I just want to understand the server thing in general
Servers are those things youre not aware of unless they're bad (like Apex)

The viscoses
No but
You can do the beginning maybe
Till mid of playlist
It'll surely be 30
And it's gucci
'
1v1 me i havent played against u in a min
idk but im adjusting
What time you on tmrw
Bc rn I am at bed
Let's go
aight
ima be on around this time
LOL
apex has worst delay like i tap strafe corner in my screen i was behind cover and still got killed?
what is thisss?
shit server shit ping
let me crouch on the karma server and its over
mnk cap is way higher than people think
thereโs absolutely no reason for you to not be able to place your crosshair on any target doing anything
aside from your limited reaction time
but people miss things that are very much not reaction time dependent
the worst of both worlds
thumb aiming on a touchpad aint even that bad
played like 1500 hours of fps games on an ipad before i was allowed to get a pc
and its very managable
I saw a warowl video where they played on rollers
Steam controler was banned duo to the touch pad
Cause it was too good
Can you play CS:GO with a Controller? Yes! But not well...
TWITTER โบ https://www.twitter.com/thewarowl
TWITCH โบ https://twitch.tv/warowl
REDDIT โบ http://reddit.com/r/warowl
what the fuck
when i opened this video i honestly expected it to be 10 years old
1500 hours on mobile gaming
how did you even figure out
warowl hasnt changed his videos in one bit
thats how many hours you spent
that one game tracks it for you and ive got like 1300 on it
and the rest is just a rough estimation
i mean in poorer parts of the world mobile gaming is how most people play games
god damn
since everyone has a smartphone
I once played pubg mobile on a pc emulator
but no console or pc
I so would've played apex mobile on pc if it was possible
emulator is ass
so much lantency
at least in my experience
it was kinda funny seeing the bots run around tho
not even comparable to the true mobile experience
some girl that used to work with me is a twitch streamer
but she's a mobile streamer
but i wouldnt wanna play on a smartphone really
bcs thats way to small
i mean isaw people had crazy aim on mobile but ijust assumed it was mostly because of aim assist
like she has a whole pc set up and stuff to stream but streams mobile games
like codm apex and any other mobile games
all the 'big games' got aim assits
like codm and pubg
also reason i said what isaid earlier is that you wont get aim assist on that controller
at least i dont see how you would get it
unless the touchpad thing converts the input like a xim converts mouse input
nah that would be unfair
at least if it got the same value as a standard roller
I looked more into that rewasd thing btw you know ppl sell configs
yeah that guy
tf is rawessd
those are configs
