apex

[arctic violet]

that is just ridiculous, get top tier rank in a fps game without shoot..

[spice swift]

https://youtu.be/_f-JNbsfTnI

I follow this it should be work ig

[hallow pawn]

Rigsychu,
Can you update your server's flowstate again?
We are moving away from custom_tdm in favor for fs_dm, also there are some QOL changes for 1v1 mode and since you are the basically biggest r5r server hoster it would be nice for you to update if you can. Also since other people can't join servers with the new scripts since the new ones don't have custom_tdm lol and I don't want to give everyone an older version of flowstate scripts lol.

[wintry cypress]

@dusky summit

[dusky summit]

ok

[dull falcon]

Gyou couldn't get masters via ratting in season 13 could u?

Not as easy as season 12

[young pine]

S13 split 1 was perfect but pros were bitching about long queue times. That's why idc about how bad the ranked system gets. pros literally ruined it because their pred queues weren't insta popping.

[spice swift]

what playing apex after played 5 minutes against @lapis moat looks like

[worn bloom]

The true fix to ranked is solo queue only

It’s crazy to me ppl see 3 pros stomping everyone and think it’s okay lol IN A GAME WITHOUT A SOLO MODE

[spice swift]

true

[true ravine]

all they need to do is increase entry cost on platinum+

pros stomp cuz theyre better

[true ravine]

your aim is too shaky and you need to strafe better. it will help u to avoid damage

[true ravine]

also respawn is trying to put 3 stacks against 3 stacks, if they make it work, the game will be much better for solos/duos

[dusky summit]

all servers fully updated, idk if there will be issues lmk

[vague nexus]

i need one million damage more

[spice swift]

yeahh I need to force myself to strafew longer

But it's hard to get smooth cause I got naturel shaky hands

[true ravine]

then lower your sens

[spice swift]

I already lower it

But I start yesterday aimlab routine for apex smoothness

For got less shaky

[light rapids]

bruh im getting scammed out here

[surreal bough]

we hitting Pred no damage?

[floral crag]

yea this season's ranked is a joke

[spice swift]

You should take one for real

[floral crag]

bro is there no kp at all??

[quaint karma]

after the game

[floral crag]

oh

[humble carbon]

Does anyone here use raw accel ?

[lethal wraith]

valk is so broken

her passive works with evac towers

my team was just evacing and ballooning and valk ulting

[ashen trench]

yeah so sweet got it

[visual shoal]

that's just a testament of how bad this system is

glad he did this

[quaint karma]

i like how he did that but no one else is capable of getting pred the normal way apparently

only 151 people

💀

[wintry cypress]

damn ur colors are nice af

[wintry cypress]

wtf 💀

[lethal wraith]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/880404382343118870/1105987112567840868/Replay_2023-05-11_00-21-06.mp4

most balanced legend

[carmine viper]

Imo ult should last like 7 seconds. Tactical should be something completely different, should not stun/disarm you and should not be a homing device

This shit is more broken than kiriko ult

[dull falcon]

The ult is fine

[lethal wraith]

the ult is not fine lmfao

it's overtuned

also having valk on your team is so fucking funny for real

you just go around using evac

scanning people and landing on them

actual terror

[carmine viper]

Ulting also auto charges a Sentinel and rampage if in your sling

[lethal wraith]

yep

[carmine viper]

That's absolutely feggotry

[sacred anvil]

Are Americans not allowed to play in voltaic 1v1 any more? https://insights.gg/dashboard/video/799CDckCJmasILgvczKQNx/replay

[lethal wraith]

from what I have noticed r9 and mozam are actually amazing sling weapons

[lethal wraith]

flowstate update

[sacred anvil]

It is.

[lethal wraith]

no clue then

evac towers are the best addition

to this game

holy

[zenith mulch]

Yea evac towers are nice

And i've only played kc ranked today

But nemesis doesn't spawn much which is nice

[lofty beacon]

Bro is milk

[sacred anvil]

It was ;another one two days ago? smh. 5 servers online, 6 players.. lol

[graceful swallow]

i swear there's a dev at respawn who is hardstuck gold and every few seasons tries to fuck the system so he can get masters

200k+ masters inc again

[zenith mulch]

why do I have to get teammates who refuse to push

[little verge]

Nah, they just wanted to stop kill boosters by removing the usefulness of kills for points

[zenith mulch]

like how is it fun to have no action till end game

[floral crag]

what season was it with that many masters?

[little verge]

S12 wasn't it?

[zenith mulch]

yea

[floral crag]

45 rp for top 5 in that season

40 for 8th this season

and no rank split

there will be way more than 200k masters

[torn oyster]

^

[floral crag]

200k preds this season

wait

[torn oyster]

only way to get trail now is to be diamond + both splits

at this rate

[floral crag]

im dumb thats not how it works

u get what i mean

[torn oyster]

everyone is going to have a trail

unless they do something

you can get masters doing ntohing but ratting for 50 games

which is wild

anyone 3 stack rat ranked?

[floral crag]

i actually do want to do that

[little verge]

They probably will because they're supposedly making mythic trails. How are they supposed to sell those when everyone can be master in 40 or so games?

[torn oyster]

i still need like 4 or 5 prevision rank games left

died off drop 3 times due to weird ping in dallas

[graceful swallow]

wut

also how are you doing

one familiar name in this channel

[little verge]

Last season they banned 3k accounts for just Respawn beacon kill farming in ranked. Just temp bans of course because it's Respawn lol.

I wouldn't be surprised if they literally made those changes because they can't keep up with cheating in ranked.

And yeah, I haven't seen you here in ages. I pretty much don't even play Apex anymore. BF2042 is a buggy mess of imbalanced gadgets but it still tilts me far less.

[worn bloom]

They need to just permaban these fools like League does.

A lot of companies can learn from League

Console players cheating in ranked has been a thing for as long as ranked has been a thing lol

[little verge]

They probably don't permaban them because they buy cosmetics. There's no sensible reason why someone can ruin ranked matches for months and get two weeks. Not even for a first offense.

[zenith mulch]

when your ranked teammates play caustic and rampart

[worn bloom]

Respawn leadership is bottom tier. The game feels like its on autopilot too.

I've never felt like this was a game by a big company

I wish Microsoft bought the franchise

[little verge]

It's 100% on autopilot. Most of the talent either left Respawn or moved onto other projects, they push cosmetic events harder with every season, but the worst part is it fucking works because no one has any impulse control.

[quaint karma]

you guys are like children

clearly the system needs tweaking

do you not get tired of your own constant complaining?

[carmine viper]

Twerkin

[quaint karma]

thats all you guys do i swear

some of you dont even play the game anyway

yet stick aroudn to complain

whats up with that

just like 2 hours into ranked yesterday ive heard multiple pros declare the new ranked system trash

[little verge]

Exactly, why would I subject myself to the shitshow? That's the point, it was obviously a bad system before it even released.

[quaint karma]

2h in

[little verge]

10% winrate and 0 DMG can get you Pred in 50 matches. It's a busted system inherently and needs so many changes to be addressed.

And they could have just revamped S13's system if they wanted a truly competitive mode.

[quaint karma]

thats great

but you wouldve complained no matter what they did

lets be real here

if it wasnt that

youd have found a million other things to write about here

[little verge]

Nah, I've already addressed all the essential points necessary to bring me back to the game. But they won't, and therefore I don't.

If anything at this stage I just get a kick at their continued blundering and missteps this far in.

[carmine viper]

No one here bitching and complaining for the sake of bitching and complaining. Im not gonna settle with a piece of turd

[quaint karma]

if thats what you think the game is

why stick around

all i ever hear is negativity

no ones fucking happy about anything

[carmine viper]

I havent touched BR since s15

[quaint karma]

gamers are so fucking whiney

i cant stand it

every season

same thing

[little verge]

Then why are you here?

[quaint karma]

i mean maybe youd recognize your behavior

but nah

[little verge]

Man, talking about something someone else in this section brought up was so poor of me. I'll do better next time.

[quaint karma]

youd think you have better things to do

than to complain constantly abotu a game you havent played in ages

[little verge]

Yeah, I've just spent so much time.

[carmine viper]

Respawn sucks

[little verge]

Also just to even check I've barely posted here all week, and half of the things I posted was theory crafting ranked compositions and best sling weapons for the new Legend so apparently everything I do is so negative.

[carmine viper]

Both

[quaint karma]

not just you

[little verge]

Maybe the only one being pressed here, is you.

[carmine viper]

You're such a negative nancy

[zenith mulch]

get D4 last split, my matches get me Bronze 2 even though I went top 10 in 9/10 of the matches

[carmine viper]

Sounds about right

[zenith mulch]

guess the game knows me, I'll be stuck here forever

[carmine viper]

Do you know of anyone who got plat and above after placements? Heck, even gold

[zenith mulch]

haven't really looked

[carmine viper]

Btw fuck EA

[zenith mulch]

but i was hearing it was pretty bad

[carmine viper]

But who cares

[zenith mulch]

facts

[carmine viper]

You should easily get masters thisseason

Easiest time ever. Easier than s12

[quaint karma]

whats the point in getting master if its gonna be looked at like s12 master

personally i think theyll patch the system soon

it clearly didnt work otu the way they intended

[carmine viper]

The point is copium

That's it

Nothing more

[zenith mulch]

when they announced it I thought it'd be good

but now I realize it's super easy to gain, and you lose so little it's easy to gain back

[carmine viper]

There are loads of people out there that still think ranks and badges mean anything significant no matter how it's achieved

[zenith mulch]

I'd love to get masters eventually, but this season just feels like

wow

[carmine viper]

There are loads of people out there who claim to be elite players but haven't been pred since s3

[worn bloom]

Lol youre right gamers are negative and I dont disagree about complaining all the time but having a discussion about how Respawn should handle ranked cheaters and the current system isnt just whining about nothing now cmon

[quaint karma]

pred requires significant time investment every day with players of equal skill

not super easy to get all that

[worn bloom]

I thought they permabanned cheaters but a 2 week ban or whatever is something to get upset about

[zenith mulch]

straight facts, I just learned that today

like even cod perma bans cheaters

[carmine viper]

Yall better at the minimum vote with yo wallets

[zenith mulch]

I haven't spent a dime on this game

someone bought me the bp last season, so I bought it this season cuz like, free

[quaint karma]

werent those bans for killfarmers?

not cheaters

[wet skiff]

ya at this point I'd have to rob them to speak with my wallet lmao

[carmine viper]

I'll cringe hard when I see streamers bitch and complain to no end but then go back on stream to buy an entire collection event

[quaint karma]

theres multiple hundred cheaters banned every day

[carmine viper]

Imo that is the biggest ironic thing

[dull falcon]

https://youtu.be/lY2SbIr7DcM

This was 2 months ago i feel like i got worse idk

[carmine viper]

Streamers bitch and complain but then will buy out any and all collection events

[quaint karma]

its their job

business expense

[dull falcon]

Its for "contentt"

[quaint karma]

doubt it

[carmine viper]

Are they obligated/contracted to buy skins?

[zenith mulch]

no

[quaint karma]

also thers usually a lot of better players on r5 recently

most of them on the roller

but it used to be easier

[worn bloom]

Wait.. R5 has aim assist?

[quaint karma]

voltaic 1v1 server does

.35

[zenith mulch]

it depends on the server

[worn bloom]

Bro I was saying those kids had crazy aim

[quaint karma]

what was his name

most people with crazy aim on there are roller

[zenith mulch]

how tf is it voltaic, and has AA

[quaint karma]

or at least from my POV crazy ai m

aim*

[zenith mulch]

i think you mean ai aim

[worn bloom]

They do a matrix strafe than 1 clip you lmao

[quaint karma]

tbh idk why people call it AI

its like really fucking basic

nothing to do with ai

[zenith mulch]

yea I know

I was just trynna make a joke off ur misspelling

[quaint karma]

what was the guys name

tho

[somber turtle]

after warming up in rnage i destroyed a whole squad with wingman

range

got like 4 headhsots in arow

with wingy

most i goteen

gotten

i hate my ekyboard

it has worst delay

[quaint karma]

my wingman is actually so bad

compared to my spray guns

[somber turtle]

i am good with click wepaons

spray not so good

my keybaord is 10 years old still working one esc key missing

i hope it stops working so i can buy another

[quaint karma]

just throw it in the trash

why hold onto it

[zenith mulch]

like any 20$ keyboard nowadays wouyld be better prob

[quaint karma]

probably not worth mcuh more than like a few cents

[worn bloom]

Any thoughts on the new champ?

[zenith mulch]

losing no ammo is crazy

for 30 seconds, you can just spray as much as you want

whole team can lol

[somber turtle]

car

[young pine]

He's fun. That's about it

[true ravine]

good fragger

[somber turtle]

am i werid for liking car?

i feel like i can one clip ppl with car easily

[worn bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/sick-gif-9975164

I think im going to be sick

[somber turtle]

idk it feels nice to use one u have like the equipment

[worn bloom]

JK wasnt the Car like the best weapon not too long ago? I like all the SMGs but the R99 beats all

[dull falcon]

DROPPED so hard after a week of not doing this

[lapis moat]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLG32aIXjeQ& Strafe tutorial is up let me know how yall feel about it

[dull falcon]

https://outplayed.tv/media/Mv8jDg

this one felt effortless, i just realize bro just long strafed too

also i need to be more strafing back into cover

[crimson shale]

see you guys after a year

mf steam has been downloading it since the last day

[slim zenith]

I just jumped off the map on accident lmao

[slim zenith]

Is it onto a hard drive or ssd?

[crimson shale]

hdd

ssd is full

[slim zenith]

That is why

[crimson shale]

but it shouldnt be that bad

ea app would have installed full apex 5 times in this time

steam is just shit

but ea app is shittier in every other aspect

cant even uninstall and reinstall

ok its done now

[torn oyster]

This system is fun

Good to know any rank goes with provision matches

[dull falcon]

https://outplayed.tv/media/kng51e

https://outplayed.tv/media/51yw0B

I like these

[light rapids]

serious question
what do i do if im in a closerange gunfight and some stupid ballistic tactical hits me
like i cant run away/hide for 12 seconds if im already in someones face
so i just wait and die?

[dull falcon]

Yes

[weary mist]

Play ballistic and shoot them back

[dull falcon]

When i Algs Lan?

[light rapids]

tomorrow ™️

cant wait till everyone realises that ballistic is boring to play and they go back to their old main

so i can actually shoot guns again

[weary mist]

He's strong though

[light rapids]

yep

has been quite a while since a legend was busted at launch tho

cant even really remember the last one actually

was it valk?

[weary mist]

Seer was after valk, right?

[light rapids]

oh yeah true

kinda thought it was before her for some reason

but i actually think that was about it

[thin raven]

bruuuh why bronze player so bad?? arent they suppose to be dia/master/pred?

expecting me to 1v3 every round 😡

[light rapids]

do it then ‼️

[hot river]

I wasn't sure whether I was gonna win this or not, this 1v3 clutch for the win felt amazing

https://outplayed.tv/media/KOgKZe

[slim zenith]

I got placed bronze after my team hot drops then dies

I won 2 and I was jumpmaster those two games

[spice swift]

I neeed to change my monitor I’m on tn display the color are fcking horrible compared to a ips monitor ngl

[devout tusk]

no way the season is this bad right

some other game must have come out

[lapis moat]

theres no reason to play ranked

actually there is im legit silver last season (did not play) anyone wanna smurf

dude r5 is just full dead post update

[devout tusk]

something prob came out

shits not normal

[vague wind]

am i just supposed to scrub my mouse in circles for 3 days until my skates break in? its the shitty stock gprox on skypad

[lapis moat]

stock gpx skates are very bad

so

[vague wind]

yeah looking at tiger ice

[surreal bough]

Time to get my master badge this season bois

Shits EASY to get now

[vague nexus]

Pred in 50 games?

[surreal bough]

69 games

[wintry cypress]

True but ur in game colors look nice

[spice swift]

i can give you my setings if you wan t

want

[devout tusk]

colors are good but kinda intense imo, i can stare at tn forever

dunno what it is

[spice swift]

true

Wait I got no filter actually xD

[spice swift]

Yepp but rlly rlly never buy a tn display

cause game loks horrible somtimes

and visibility with with wingman also

[wintry cypress]

Damn lol

U recording in a different color format?

[spice swift]

No it’s just a raw color of my game 😭

But I’m on high settings

[wintry cypress]

Huuuhhh

I guess you have your gamma/brightness a bit lower then cause its popping

Either that or ur using digital vibrance maybe? 🤔

[spice swift]

Not even on actually digital actually 🤔

Let me check

Do it looks with digital vibrance rn

[vague nexus]

:stroke:

[worn bloom]

I never thought about strafing like that and I was thinking I needed to work on mine. Nice vid, subbed.

[wintry cypress]

not really but the colors pop for some reason lol

[lapis moat]

thanks dude appreciate it

[worn bloom]

I dont like it. No ability should interfere with using your gun.

[spice swift]

idk tbh xD

Maybe cause I'm on warm color on display settings ?

[light rapids]

yeah theres a lot of stupid abilites

everything that removes character control

should just not be in th egame

[carmine viper]

You're video giving me these vibes:

https://youtu.be/USL2Dhebktg

[lapis moat]

good cuz thats exactly what im going for

[thin raven]

aw man server die agane

[carmine viper]

Also for some reason reminded me of this https://youtu.be/NeDIYaVW8Og

[lapis moat]

damn those transitions are good

[worn bloom]

https://gfycat.com/parchedquarterlyfoxhound

That time I got hit with the meanest strafe

Or my aim just sucks

I was so annoyed that I had to clip it to see what I could have done better

[lapis moat]

decent bias on octane stim speed

good slide too

[worn bloom]

Nah man that Octane was a crackhead

[lapis moat]

yea he had a good strafe + you couldve aimed better

[fair trellis]

kinda panicky aim but holy fuck i hate W keying octanes that run into your face stimmed

it is so fucking annoying

yesterday some octane in tdm just used mastiff only and stimmed right into your face

[worn bloom]

That might've been me. I had a challenge for Octane and shotgun kills lol

I can see why ppl find Octane fun

[fair trellis]

they are more annoying in control/tdm since theres no big punishment for dying

so they usually w key right into you all the time

[worn bloom]

Yeah for sure. Honestly I need to clip stuff more when I get dunked on so I can see wtf I could have done better.

But hey for both of us it came down to 1 bullet and thats while I had a much simpler strafe

[worn bloom]

Dude and their health regens fast AF

[hallow pawn]

the 1v1 server isn't actually 1v1 based on player reports

[main merlin]

I feel like it's only easy to rat to diamond/masters rn since half the lobby still ints

[worn bloom]

Currently in a tree right now

[main merlin]

Up entry cost

[worn bloom]

No pls not yet, a few more trees and than up it

[main merlin]

And people will play to win instead of muh ape sex

[dusky summit]

which mode is 1v1 then

no clue how to enable it on this

[lapis moat]

its a DM server rn yea

[spice swift]

r5 servers are broken or what ?

[slim zenith]

new flowstate

[hallow pawn]

is it on fs_dm now?

set it to fs_1v1 playlist

note: it will still say fs_dm in the playlist tab on the server browser

even when fs_1v1 is selected

[dusky summit]

kk

[spice swift]

Got the link ?

[dull falcon]

I need real scenarios on flowstate

[slim zenith]

I need to not suck 🔥

[dull falcon]

Youre probably really good

Aint u like plat or d4

[lethal wraith]

if Respawn doesn't hotfix then everyone will be master this season

[dull falcon]

I want the trail im sorry

[slim zenith]

I am

Still shit though

[dull falcon]

Idk bout that

[zenith mulch]

facts, and I'll be spectating to masters cuz my teammates do nothing

they don't push on a crack

they just sit in zone to loot

[vague nexus]

thats the meta rn

idk

[zenith mulch]

it's so dumb

a decent fix would be the longer you are in zone the more damage it does

[vague nexus]

if you want that masters badge, then get a netflix subscription

[zenith mulch]

to allow zone plays but not sitting in zone for all of zone 1 and 2

[torn oyster]

just farming xp in gamemodes

[wintry cypress]

Lfg i can finally get master

[wintry cypress]

More xp with p20 than pk 🤨

[torn oyster]

i picked up some pk, held it for a bit, then got shot in the mouth from across the map

im just running around with gun in hand.

stupid xp farm.

[lethal wraith]

being good at the game gives you less xp

right?

because holster doesn't count as held

[torn oyster]

yh.

lmao

xp farm on console ez af

9 times out of 10 they have their gun out anyways

[lethal wraith]

just afk with the gun held

I'm p sure there's bots doing that right now

[torn oyster]

oh 100%

theres a market for it somewhere

[lethal wraith]

I mean supposedly it takes like ~1200 hours to get the maxed out banner frame

I'm sure people will pay for that so they don't have to spend any time

[torn oyster]

idk where 90% of this damage comes from but

[quaint karma]

https://reddit.com/r/CompetitiveApex/comments/13entox/i_dont_think_you_guys_understand_how_high_of_an/

exactly

[torn oyster]

🥱

[lethal wraith]

for people to stop climbing, everyone would have to play to live

which won't happen

so players that are not master level will pretty much guaranteed get masters

since all they have to do is to avoid the -35 loss

[torn oyster]

doing opening matches, i got int'd almost every game

ended high silver because of it. was pretty pog.

[lethal wraith]

well yeah because there's no loss

so people just int

[torn oyster]

that and solo q ranked was REALLY bad.

masters MMR ig but not the point

if im with people who are level 50-100
and clearly ranking up in silvers/bronze

why on earth would preds be in these lobbies. no wonder sweet got 50 games to pred

[nimble edge]

he got pred in 50 games without picking up a gun

bro sat in a corner all 50 games to prove the system is kinda cheese able

[torn oyster]

theres no kinda about it

its literally cheeseable

[quaint karma]

would someone with a bronze mmr have done the same thing?

that’s the question to ask

he’s been pred and masters every season

[lethal wraith]

the only real issue is that there's no penalty for dying

that's why it was so easy for him

[quaint karma]

since the start of the game

[lethal wraith]

why bronze? why not plat-dia

pretty sure they would be able to pull it off

[quaint karma]

doesn’t matter, i’m just making a point

he shoulda used a different acc for this

[lethal wraith]

yes plat-dia would be able to make it

people before have ratted to masters

[nimble edge]

i placed bronze 2 and had preds in my game every single time because of the mmr system

[lethal wraith]

it happened in s13 and it was probably harder back then

[quaint karma]

i’m general the immediate screeching and calling things trash within like a day of it being out

completely disregarding everything

[nimble edge]

ye

[quaint karma]

is just a terrible attitude to have and idk why people defend it

[torn oyster]

my thing is if you can rat and gain more "LP" by doing nothing than playing the actual game (yeah doing things is more LP) but

achieving the highest ingame rank by doing quite literally nothing

some would argue that is a problem

[quaint karma]

i mean i’m sure that will be addressed, wherever the issue lies

it’s probably more complicated than you think

[nimble edge]

i like it more than last season but i think they should make it so u get points after top 6. and u need atleast a few kills to expedite the points gained which will ensure that ur not just camping to rank up

similar to last season

[lethal wraith]

s12 was perfect

[nimble edge]

no

s13 was perfect

imo

[quaint karma]

from what i heard the playtests were good but that clearly didn’t completely transfer over to millions of people actually playing the game

[lethal wraith]

s12 people actually played ranked like comp

which is kinda the way you're supposed to play

[nimble edge]

never does

[nimble edge]

ya but it was too easy to gain points

i think this season will be a season we’re a lot of players get masters again

[quaint karma]

so now we’re back to behaving like children and shitting on it all cuz apparently that’s the only way most gamers known how to conduct themselves

know

[fair trellis]

thats me

average apex player tbh

[nimble edge]

basically

idc tho

clearly things to be criticized about it

proof of it too

[quaint karma]

there’s different ways to go about criticizing

[nimble edge]

ya

there is lashing out with no reason cause ur coping

and there is backing up ur reasoning with evidence and

[fair trellis]

when its 10 seasons of the same issues pretty hard to constructively criticize also it does jackshit

[quaint karma]

read what hakis tweeted, why can’t everyone act like that

especially pro players

who are watched by thousands of people

[nimble edge]

i think it’s just really hard to make a ranked system for battle royal games

[nimble edge]

New season Ranked thoughts

Matchmaking - So far a bust, every lobby I've played so far has been super easy. Games are not balanced at all and there's barely any recognizable names in the feed. Queues are instant tho which is both good and bad I guess.

[lethal wraith]

probably because they're sick and tired of Respawn fucking up?

)

[wary star]

no matter how giga brain sweet

is

[nimble edge]

masters had 3000 people at the end lol

[wary star]

he shouldn't be able to do that

[nimble edge]

real

[wary star]

you shouldn't be able to not shoot a gun and get top 500

also 90% of the people complaining are plat players

complaining as in lashing out

[nimble edge]

i was masters last season and placed bronze 2 i think that is another issue. should be more like how arena was

[wary star]

wut

how did that happen

i got placed plat 3

and one of my friends got placed diamond 1

[nimble edge]

i played the first split hit masters. 2nd split i was getting ddosed by cheaters and never played ranked and ended plat 2

i think that is why

[wary star]

this ranked system sounded so good on paper tbh

[quaint karma]

one of the ranked designers even replied to hakis tweet, did he reply to hal calling all of it trash? probably not

[nimble edge]

i think it has big potential

[wary star]

but people just ape coz you lose fuck all lp

i mean

i am not blaming hal

coz for a fact i know

[fair trellis]

i play ranked to grief others not to gain lp

[wary star]

that he wrote a constructive criticism in s14

[nimble edge]

it’s just too easy to not lose points. they need to make it harder to gain to keep everyone from ranking up

also

i noticed something

i’m getting like 200 “skill” rating a game

is this because it’s detecting i’m too low rank

cause it’s bronze

[quaint karma]

tweet he replied to is apparently hidden but i’m sure it’s about sweet reaching pred

[wary star]

yep

[nimble edge]

that is true

[wary star]

yeah but this still

doesn't make it any better

[nimble edge]

his skill rating was probably giving him like 200 a game like me

for free

[wary star]

you can say that yeah his mmr was p high to begin with

[quaint karma]

there’s only so much you can do trying to exclude all the edge cases for your first attempt

[wary star]

but that's irrelevant coz he still shouldn't be getting top 200 with 0 damage

[wary star]

yeah

people in high tier ranked chats are all just hoping that they do changes soon and not wait a season out

but idrc either way tbh

[nimble edge]

real shit tho

the pred and master badges were shit

[quaint karma]

yeah masters bade is awful

badge

arenas badges always looked the best

[zenith mulch]

teammate chases a kill during a res

nice

[wet skiff]

They ape beccause fighting is fun

like every single season, no matter wht the rp gains are like have had people ape

you had people ape in ALGS

[wary star]

yeah but

[wet skiff]

people like fighting and they think fighting is the best play

[ashen trench]

That isnt a thing

[wet skiff]

there is literally no system in the world you can implement that changes it

[wary star]

apeing was not rewarding for 99% of the playerbase

[wet skiff]

it's a fucking FPS, people are goin to fight

yea? And guess what, they still did it

like the reward or lack there-of is literally irrelevant

it always has been

[wary star]

people are not complaining about people apeing

who cares if they ape, it should be less rewarding

[wet skiff]

it's already less rewarding

[lethal wraith]

aping should be more punishing

[wary star]

it's not less rewarding

[true ravine]

yep

[wet skiff]

aping is already the most punishing strat in the game

[wary star]

i am getting 300 from eliminations alone

[lethal wraith]

it's not, because you only lose -35 rp

[wary star]

that is not less rewarding

[true ravine]

then youre playing the wrong game

[wet skiff]

sweet demonstrated that by literally afking to pred in 50 games. How many games did it take you to ape to pred?

[lethal wraith]

aren't streamers literally aping everything

because they're against bronzies

[true ravine]

yep

[wary star]

mmr is non existent

[wet skiff]

and they aped in every single season so far as well

[true ravine]

just because its possible to get masters without fighting doesnt mean that is the best strategy to get rp

apeing is just better

[wet skiff]

it's only better if you are confident you outskill every team in the lobby

[true ravine]

you get a lot of rp from kills as bonus now

[wary star]

i think this will take time to have the individual mmr set in

but till then

[true ravine]

if u win a match with 5 kills only, you get 300 rp

if u kill 10

[wet skiff]

otherwise every single fight is a risk of losing the game

[true ravine]

youll get easy 400rp in predator

apeing would be punished if they increase the entry cost

but with this 10rp entry cost

theres no punishment for people apeing all time

[wet skiff]

and it'll become more and more difficult to do over time as the MMR places people appropriotely. It's a clusterfuck RN because the system is new and it hasn't had enough time to settle players

[true ravine]

if u think apeing is bad now, you probably doing it wrong

[wet skiff]

like ofc if you're a masters players you can go in a game where everyone is equal MMR and ape like hell

it's gonna be a lot less effectivei n 3 weeks when all the ranks are sorted and you're now in lobbies with other good masters players

[true ravine]

not at all

bro

if you die off drop

you lose less than the entry cost

cuz u have ladder points

you lose only fking 10 rp per game if u die instantly

if u kill 2 before dying

youre positive

in masters

apeing is the best strategy rn

you dont lose points and if u make it work

u gain a lot of points

waiting for top 5 etc is good if youre chilling

but if u wanna tryhard

the best strategy still ape every squad u see

[lethal wraith]

holy

400->500 is such a slog

[nimble edge]

it is

[lethal wraith]

best ult

[ashen trench]

i was rookie last split

getting same points as sweet

and my freiends who are ass get same points as me?>

[lethal wraith]

he was getting like 0 bonus diamond and up iirc

[ashen trench]

Yes

[lethal wraith]

https://twitter.com/TSM_Albralelie/status/1656421526579605505

Albralelie (@TSM_Albralelie)

please keep telling me that sweet is able to do it because of his previous rank giving him bonus points to climb to pred. This is not the case, as soon as he passed diamond 4 his bonus drops substantially. This system is absolutely broken. Increase entry cost to -100 MINIMUM asap

lmfaoo 😭

[wintry cypress]

Whats up with all the movement nerds in dropoff 1v1s bruh

I was on 20cm sucking and i still came out on top of leaderboard

[nimble edge]

u get LP for placement, eliminations, rating, bonus, and skill. skill LP u get for killing players of a higher rank than you which multiplies the greater the rank. and rating u get if ur rank is far below ur hidden mmr. i can litterly jump or the map at the start of a game and still go positive @ashen trench

[ashen trench]

if your diamond

it doesnt do it

read tweets above

[nimble edge]

i see

thank u

i still don’t think i should have been placed bronze after bieng masters

i think they should place u where u belong based on ur mmr no matter what

like arenas

[wintry cypress]

nice movement 👍

bro just got himself killed

wouldve had a harder time tracking strafes

Skypad

If there was a best artisan pad for apex then everyone would be using the same thing, but they don't

[minor sluice]

skypad is good in every game especially apex

[dull falcon]

any one down to run some 1v1s

pls

im begging

Fucked my placement games so badly

[echo inlet]

[dull falcon]

thx

KamisWxrld is my user whats ures

[echo inlet]

ive already have you added

[dull falcon]

oh ok

just send inv

[echo inlet]

ok

[quaint karma]

ong

[misty ferry]

makes sense

i’m glad people are somewhat adjusting to the new system better

[novel loom]

@dull falcondm

[vague wind]

is it better to aim for the middle or slightly trailing the middle? Im thinking if i aim for the middle, im likely to overshoot cause of insufficient deacceleration, but if i slightly trail, i'll probably end up hitting the middle with less acceleration

[dull falcon]

edge tracking is a crutch'

[vague wind]

but thats like saying playing on anything slower than the highest technically-possible-to-handle sens is a crutch, or is there some relevant difference?

i think if you aim for the middle, you have to account for visual response delay, edging is a way to account for it

[flint grotto]

When in kovaaks sure, in game

Not so much

Hit boxes are smaller

Larger hit boxes edge tracking is more viable

Also without velocity variation too

Idk do whatever works for you

A lot of people just cant edge track tho

They try too hard to focus on it

Idk

They just fall off the bot cuz they are trying to min max

When they arent good enough to start min maxxing

[vague wind]

i dont try to edge track, i just try to aim with the least amoutn of acceleration i can get away with

is aiming with the least acceleration ideal? i wonder if theres an argument for a specific sens based on decelerated aiming

[flint grotto]

Idk i dont think that much about it

Cant give you an answer

[dull falcon]

apex hidden mmr or like placement matches are so bad

its genuinely so bad

how do i consistntly get more kills and survive longer than my duo and mf get gold 4 and i get silver 3 ?

and the lobbies are so uneven now too

[edgy crane]

If they didnt get everyone in rookie it would of been nice, cus it fuxked everyone up

[hollow anchor]

ranked is just so free right now

https://streamable.com/bdsrzo

https://streamable.com/2z3r1z

just bots dude

[rustic creek]

nice clip but why don't we hear audio 😭

[hollow anchor]

my shadowplay is fucked up idk

never works correctly

[rustic creek]

true

my shit is so weird

[hollow anchor]

in all my placements I was facing pro 3 stacks but still won like 5 games and did well in the others, got placed like silver, and now every game is like a 19 squad kill win but only get 600 for each game so im just sloggin through gold rn

[edgy crane]

Why you fighting? Just sit on a mountain with rev

Ez rp

Then you get homework done

[hollow anchor]

because I enjoy playing the game

[edgy crane]

Aswell

[edgy crane]

Never said before

Nah but this rank system is a joke

[hollow anchor]

idk I ape everything and end up with a win either way id rather ape everything and get a +600 or take a -35

-35 is pennies

[edgy crane]

Ye true

Its just a joke

They will get so much money tho

From the cassualls

[hollow anchor]

I went like + 4000 today apeing everything, tried doing the rat zone strat yesterday and only gained like 1k

[edgy crane]

The biggest problem is that little timmy 12yo on 0.6 ai will have a ego cus he hits masters

[hollow anchor]

im sure ratting zone is more viable when I actually get to master but rn everything is a snooze fest and the lobbies are borderline freelo

[hollow anchor]

thats why I play bang and one mag them with prowler + digi

take away their aim assist with smonk

ezpz

[edgy crane]

I mean yeah, its not the aa im talking about tho

Its that they will think they are better then everyone cus they hit masters

[hollow anchor]

everyone I know that I rank with thats usually master is in gold or plat rn

if little timmy wants to rat ring and get 15k master then sure why not

[edgy crane]

Yeah cus they smoked some crack and then reset everyone to rookie

[hollow anchor]

master hasnt meant anything in a long time

who cares if every john and tom gets it

[lapis moat]

no way AMD just nuked relive off my computer

now i have to use vods for the montage

[wary star]

@floral lodge finally

[floral lodge]

nice dude

I haven't touched kovaaks for almost a week should get back into it been lacking on apex but thats cause 0 passion for this season

[lethal wraith]

I'm gold rank and all I see is master and pred trails

also everyone is crafting medkits in ring now

[vague nexus]

Thats the new hip and cool trend

[lethal wraith]

also obviously everyone running Nemesis

[vague nexus]

Charge got nerfed, but i still run it

As long as it has 1 shot in it i will run it

[lethal wraith]

yeah I mean it's still hitscan

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[minor birch]

someone 1v1

[slim zenith]

r5 or range?

[minor birch]

Rangs

I dont have r5

[slim zenith]

I'll be on in like 10 if u down

[vale hill]

if i use 120fov in apex should i use 120 fov in kovaaks too or

[lethal wraith]

doesn't really matter, but also not really

[minor birch]

yeah

[lethal wraith]

most kovaak scenarios are made with 90fov in mind

aimtraining is a lot more about reading and mouse control than 1:1 aim in the game

so I wouldn't worry too much about it

[vale hill]

ty!

[minor birch]

u readuy?

[slim zenith]

Yup

Add IcedCoffeeLover

[minor birch]

just got in game

[slim zenith]

How long will it take?

[minor birch]

idk

[ocean depot]

do people still use the car? i feel like since it doesnt have the laser sight i should always be picking up the r99/prowler

[minor birch]

im done now

[slim zenith]

highly recommend downloading r5 dude, theres some mnk players on there that arent in here

that are also pretty good

[minor birch]

ok ok

[lethal wraith]

schmoovin

[young pine]

All the servers are EU and the east ones are dead

[last sleet]

how is r5 so dead? only 21 people online

0 players on eu 1v1 servers 😦

[young pine]

Not enough casuals know about it or wanna set it up

[last sleet]

the 1v1 servers were constantly full like 3 days ago though

[young pine]

Depends when you get on

[last sleet]

at this time, they've been full almost always. now there is 0 people on. I don't think it's because of the time

8 squads lmao

[near drift]

hmm looks like communitys adjusting

love to see it

[wintry cypress]

so are people just insane at apex now?

[lethal wraith]

it would be ok, but everyone is just playing like furia back under teq

[wintry cypress]

people in bronze beaming tf out of us

[lethal wraith]

I mean I'm gold 4 and my lobbies are full of master and pred trails

rank doesn't matter for who you play with, it's all about hidden mmr

[dull falcon]

idk how i feel ab this clip cuz essentially im in the same spot but i take less damage idk how to feel

[near drift]

meanwhile people in plat cant hit this

[dull falcon]

or why this works ( i woulda gotten clipped by a roller)

[near drift]

was good tracking on short strafe

movement is hard to perceive in first person so i cant really speak on that

[dull falcon]

https://outplayed.tv/media/47GrxR

this is an older one alsmost the same thing

[rustic creek]

8 squads in silver is crazy

[near drift]

crazy clip king viktor

[wintry cypress]

so we have diamond MMR but we face master players in bronze? 💀

[dull falcon]

ngl i was fighting preds in my 10 matches ( im silver 3)

[near drift]

i always wait two weeks in a new season

[rustic creek]

my friend was saying the same thing

[near drift]

especially after overhaul like this

to play ranked anyways

[rustic creek]

his buddies are gold/plat level fighting only preds

[near drift]

saves the headache

[rustic creek]

ranked system this season is funny

[dull falcon]

i said this yesterday i did most damage overall most kills compared to my duo this mfs gets gold 4

im silver 3

[near drift]

been playing overwatch, actually really good for mechanics

[dull falcon]

soldier?

[near drift]

soldier ashe cree

[nimble edge]

new mmr system has u playing the same players in every rank

u just get free rating LP if ur a low rank with high mmr

kinda makes sense ig

how is this wrong lmao(i’m 950 elo)

[wintry cypress]

Kinda annoying

[lethal wraith]

it's queen to king and it's check because knight is holding

I think?

[nimble edge]

the light square on f6 is where the knight is before so u can’t do that

[dull falcon]

anyone want to 1v1 im begging ( desperately )

@quaint karma this u right , u do ranked or is this reformed

[lethal wraith]

oh no clue then

[edgy crane]

thats nosh im pretty sure

[unborn token]

[minor sluice]

Apex is ass deleting its own files mid game

[worn bloom]

It might not need to be a Kovaaks routine either but I need something to warmup

I think last year I was doing PureG Apex routine

[zenith mulch]

when your team forgets to do damage

and the bang never smokes in a fight

i hope it deletes ranked
