Apex took wz1 sbmm gg

worn bloom
#

What Aceu said 😂

quaint karma
#

sbmm turned up to 11 this season

#

god knows why

#

i want the old system back

#

played maybe 10 pub games earlier

#

2 of them had a a pred duo as champion and the other one i died to triple preds

#

3 of them

#

one of them was simplyashton

worn bloom
#

Dude BR pubs is one thing but mixtape? Cmon now

quaint karma
#

the sbmm changes were introduced like

#

a week and a half before last season end

#

its funyn cuz

#

for once i decided to start nofilling for practice

#

and i was like 'do i just fucking suck'

#

and the next day i noticed how much harder it was

#

respawn saw me tryna nofill and fucked with the sbmm

#

ong frfr

worn bloom
#

In the last couple weeks I went against Dropped, Koyful, Voksi, Zeddofps or whatever and a few other ppl I seen that were invited to the Guantlet League.

quaint karma
#

my bad guys

#

i mean realistically in terms of skill i SHOULD be facing these people but who wants to do that in a casual gamemode?

worn bloom
#

But thats not the bad part. The type of players that get high MMR are 3 stacking, hand holders so in mixtape you legit can't 1v1. Its all trades like its freaking Halo or CS

quaint karma
#

i dont wanna sweat my ass off in pubs 24/7

quaint karma

the handholder triple master badge players in mixtape

Dude you ever seen one of these type of players stream? Literally Navy Seal Team 6 with the call outs and shit

#

Literally playing for money, better comms than my random ranked teammates

#

dude im just fucking around in ranked when stacking

#

legit playing ncs music tabbing out mid fight to play soundboards

#

and scrolling through twitter

#

that shit is too good

#

there is no fucking way

#

what shit

worn bloom
#

HisWattson and NiceWigg are goated individuals

#

and sadly its an apex community thing. cod players don't play like that in tdm

#

this sbmm shit is just stupid. fighting master/pred in pub and doing the same thing in silver rank these focking dev is noob

raven hull
#

Im surprised you guys can even play atm, i tried to play 2 games last night. 1st Server froze every 15 seconds, second one did the same and then it hard crashed and kicked everyone in the game off

#

At which point i decided that was enough apex for that day and went back to studying lol

light rapids
#

havent touched apex since like 5 days or smt

#

all my friends stopped cuz most of them are even worse than me

#

and solo just aint it

raven hull
#

Yeah all my mates stopped playing apex a few seasons back. But ive always solo'q im sure the game is more enjoyable with a 3 stack tho

#

but i want to play, its just a shame the servers are beyond ass still and it actually feels like a chore.

#

imagine asking directions for this hospital

#

i'd give up

wet skiff
#

Apex with less visual clutter, no aa, and better servers performance

I'd play again

#

Could also do some fun updates at the same time, like removing the slow when you get hit by bullet

#

The devs are too incapable to listen to their community and implement meaningful changes that have been asked for for years

wet skiff
#

I think it's more about protecting the absolute fucking bots; which I just don't get. Isn't that the entire point of SBMM?

# arctic violet thing is there aren't other fps to play

battlebit is like the only other FPS I'm enjoying atm, it's more like battlefield but has solid movement and other mechanics. Not a perfect game by any means but great aim practice which is perfect while waiting for a big long term FPS to drop

#

if they nerf aim assist they please 10% of the playerbase and piss off 90%

#

which they don't want to

#

for financial reasons

spice swift
#

True

#

Ironically even on pc less kbm players than roller

#

That is still surprising me

wary star
#

that's not even ironic

#

that's just how it's been for a year

#

maybe more

wet skiff
#

honestly, aside from apex, I think the biggest dissapointment for me was how awful halo infinite was and how badly they fcked up the game.

https://www.reddit.com/r/FPSAimTrainer/comments/15wvixe/aa_on_mnk_is_absolutely_foul/

Someone posted this gameplay, and just imagine how much fun halo could've been if there was no aim assist and MNK only lobbies, and the game didn't release as a fucking broken mess.

strafing is easier, aiming is easier on one input

#

people will ofcourse play on that input

spice swift
#

But like when I saw top aimer like on rA or Vt I dropped my controller on ps5 to started learning kbm on console

wet skiff
#

This entire vid is just marred by the fact the guy has fuckin aim assist

spice swift
#

But everyone is built diff ig

spice swift
#

But you’re casual or even tryharding the game controller still the most quick solution to build a solid ig level without learning mechanics

wary star
#

aiming community is very niche

#

compared to the total playerbase

spice swift
wary star
#

i feel like

#

there is enough constructive criticsm out there for the devs

#

they just are too lazy or don't care enough to invest resources into addressing those issues that exist

arctic violet
wary star
#

anyone who tells me that the devs are rly good and passionate and the suits hold them back

#

i just disregard all of their opinions

#

coz it's so mindboggling to me

wintry cypress
#

and apex every once in a while with a friend

arctic violet
#

and that's totally right cause they deserve to lost player

wet skiff
wary star
#

nah

#

i don't think the suits were holding them back from fixing that control bug

#

that was in the game for 2 years

light rapids

#

game dev is a tough job don't get me wrong

#

but i don't want to be asked for empathy while also getting asked for 200 usd recolours

with the same shitt dog shit bugs in the game for years

i've been playing rdr2

#

goated game

wet skiff
#

That's exactly what it is. I worked as a dev in a different industry and there were bugs in the code that I wanted to fix which were untouched for over a year because management wouldn't let me fix them and had me work on other stuff. They won't let you check in bug fixes and stuff even if you do it on your own time.

And bug fixes are generally low priority. new content/features are almost always prioritized. Even if changes are quick/simple, it still has to go through a process and that process is slow and expensive so if you don't get management approval it just won't happen. They straight up will not let you check the code in even if it's done and you can show them it's finished.

Trust me, I've been in that position before and there is nothing more frustrating than trying to deal with management who geniunely just "don't get it"

wary star
#

yeah but

#

the thing is

#

the "new content" in apex legends

#

is also not that great

#

recolouring skins is not new content

#

changing ranked parameters is also not new content

wet skiff
#

ok but that's still not the coders fault; all of that is management, directors, and lead designers. Like I said, the guys writing the code have virtually no input as to content, features, design decisions, etc.

Apex in milk to death mode in EAs eyes

light rapids
main merlin
#

Apex is still big enough to survive a couple more years though even at the current rate

wary star
#

the game has horrendous net code

#

and the code in general is very buggy

wet skiff
#

the real problem is that "devs" has become a catchall phrase that includes developers, lead designers, directors, management, upper management, and basically includes the entire end to end structure, but the actual coders are specifically scapegoats

wary star
#

?

#

they are not.

#

i highly disagree

#

i would've agreed 2 years ago

#

now i feel like all of them are responsible

wet skiff
#

they very often are. People blame everything on the devs, like the actual developers, and don't understand that they very often don't even get to choose what they work or code on, sometimes not even how to code it(I've literally been told to code something a specific way by someone who didn't have any idea to code, and I had to fucking do it)

wary star
#

devs use the "hurr durr management is holding us back" and management uses the "yeah we are working on changes to make sure they are 100% positive for the game"

#

game goes no where

#

recycles the same dogshit content

#

and dies

main merlin
#

Current Source engine holds Apex back aswell

spice swift
wet skiff
#

yea and management 100% is holding them back, as someone who actually dealt with this shit for a literal fucking decade I can say that with absolute confidence.

wary star
#

yeah but not to the degree people make it out to be

#

plus when you have bad base coding

#

then who's fault is it

#

you probably got rushed maybe

#

idk the main problem i think is that apex was never meant to be this successful and now that it is they are just riding the boat

#

mangement is probably at much higher fault than the dev team

shrewd pollen
wary star
#

i don't disagree with that

shrewd pollen
#

We have to stop play the game so they will think once time

wet skiff
# spice swift They only about profits and want to invest a minimum for keep most engaged playe...

Yes, this is what it boils down too. Management and the actual developers don't see eye to eye on this, but devs have no power to do anything about it. This shit eats your fckin soul man I sat on a bug fix for a fucking year and eventually got blamed for it and had to bring up emails from 12 months prior showing I had it fixed this entire time and management decided it wasn't a large enough priority to let me check in already fixed code.

spice swift
shrewd pollen
#

Maybe they rly will work in it

shrewd pollen
#

Also in fifa

shrewd pollen
#

They did billions

wet skiff
#

meanwhile, who do you think the end users were blaming everytime they came across the bug?

#

do you think it was the dumbfuck management, despite being squarely on their shoulders, 100% of the blame?

spice swift
little verge
#

Yeah, there's a lot of core issues involved and it's hard to boil down to any one thing. Project was mismanaged from the start because they didn't have much direction for the game until the last like 10 months of development and naturally everything was duct taped together to facilitate that. Then you've got execs and higher ups prioritizing other aspects while the game is lucrative, old guard being replaced with people who are junior developers, and people who legitimately don't care about competitive integrity or good feedback as much as they care about metrics.

spice swift
#

Like where is the humain side on this

wary star
#

it's EA

#

there is no human side LOL

little verge
#

EA is a good chunk but honestly a lot of Respawn execs are just as bad.

wary star
#

but if you do work for a shitty company then probably should also take the blame for it

little verge
#

I'd honestly argue Medina is worse than some of the suits at EA lol.

wary star
#

sure sucks for you if you don't have other job oppertunities

#

but damn

#

good luck not ending it

spice swift
wet skiff
#

and the fact I have 10 years of experience is actually hurting me, I'm "over qualified"

wary star
#

everyone's a fucking genius now

wet skiff
#

no, not really, just companies are willing to hire desperate people even if they are low quality or trying to force horrible contracts instead of actually hiring

wary star
#

oh

#

here in the eastern asia side you have geniuses willing to work at pisslow offers

little verge
wet skiff
#

at this point I might be forced to do contracting work, can probably work 2-3 at a time and make decent money like that but I really just want a stable job

wary star
#

contract work is p solid but it's like a short term solution

#

plus they give you even less respect LOL

little verge
#

I'm legitimately considering taking a management role despite how badly they get treated just because it's the only realistic way I'll see 8k more a year

wet skiff
#

yea that's exactly why I don't want to do it. Short term solution that's just more stress than it's worth because all you are worrying about constantly is what happens when your contract ends

wary star
#

i work on the management side of a p big company i'd say and it is honestly depressing looking at all these depressed people

little verge
wet skiff
#

I can't do management either, I am not a people person at all. I just need a paycheck and some instructions on what to code and to be left alone. I turn in excellent code but the current job market quality is not that important, it's cheaper to hire 3 people who suck at coding and just live with the bugs and issues than it is to hire 1 guy who writes great code

little verge
#

Zero accountability from higher ups

wet skiff
#

yes; that's exactly the problem. Because they can just shift blame down until it gets to the developer. "well, I'm just management, I didn't write the code, it's not my fault it has a bug in it" despite the fact they spent a year stonewalling me. Dumbfuck forgot he put it in writing

#

he didn't even get punished. It was just "oh, excellent, we'll open a ticket and you can submit the code and it's done! Thanks for a quick resolution!"

#

maybe I should get a job in management, I just won't show up to work, blame the devs lmao

anyone had experiences with sudden fps drops? mine started normal getting 100+ fps then after 2-3 minutes it will drop to 20-40 fps, which should still be playable, but if i make try to move camera, shoot, or any complicated movements except going forward, it will just lag hard. I also got the UCMD delay symbol, sometimes accompanied by lag compensation error and congestion. but mostly the ucmd delay symbol. my windows is clean install too, as well as my drivers.

but for casuals....jesus

it aint it

#

theres genuine silvers in ranked rn going against actual diamond+ people

wary star
#

i don't think pub matchmaking should be tight to the point where it substantially affects queue times

#

plus solo queue and stack queue should be different pools

vague nexus

someone on reddit said, that its great cause the 0.3kds can enjoy the games without sweats, but the randoms i get are not sweats and are in my lobbies fighting preds

its been a bug for 2 years

young pine
#

I don't even get the point of clubs. its a good base that they could do alot with but they just haven't. also 15 player cap is odd

worn bloom
#

Dude my first game addiction was Clash Royale and it had clans and when you level up you get a chest/rewards at the end of the week. Would be dope if Apex had something like that.

#

Is it 15 player cap? I thought it was 30

young pine
#

i just know its way too low

#

club wars would be dope, the club with the most wins/kills gets something

worn bloom
#

There's so much Respawn leaves on the table.

#

I would love an entire season of just general game health tho.

young pine
#

they probably had more plans for it but ditched the idea because they couldnt monetize it

worn bloom
#

Bro they could do like exlusive banners and stuff you can buy for clans.. they need to hire me. I can monetize this game in ways they havent even dreamed of

#

I actually love the stickers they added tho. Cosmetic department doing a good job I'd say

clubs would have to mean somethin for people to buy shit for it imo

Yeah exactly

#

It's like rewiring your brain

Kbm looks harder than controller

#

Even on movements

#

Like personally I can’t aim above 40/360cm

#

It feels too fast

And controller more powerful but also more boring than kbm

just use those steam scripts so you just hold a button and move joystick in direction, easy no problem

Any tips ?

wary star
#

take your time with it

spice swift
#

I’m trying but idk bro

#

I will clip if I whiffed on

true ravine
#

instead of flicking, try to track the enemy and correct your aim with your movement

#

will be easier to hit pk shots

#

most of the time u dont even need to move your mouse

#

just move yourself

half salmon
#

no flicking is good do not follow the pk wingman tracking community flick every single shot

#

because it looks cooler

spice swift
raven hull
#

yeah take your time and track them, each time you were pausing and then flicking only to miss.

spice swift
#

Okay okay should stop movin before land the shot tho ?

raven hull
#

sometimes its easier to aim with movement and keeping your aim static. If that makes sense. Like you could have easily landed 2-3 pk pumps in that fight by not moving your mouse

#

Im awful at explaining things so that probably sounds crazy lol

#

An example I can think of would be how Mande uses the Pk a lot of the time, he will hardly move his mouse and aim by just moving.

spice swift
#

\but like yeah I should definitly top micro flickin whand not needed and the crosshair alreay on him

raven hull
#

yeah i think your second flick was not needed. It looked like it would have hit but you flicked off of him

i mean aside from tac fps

tac fps games be boring

I rlly enjoying more aim trainers than actual games tbh

#

That is so sad

tired geode
#

ive been playing tac fps for 23 yrs at this point

#

so im a bit tired of them

spice swift
#

Playing since 1 year on val so I’m not that bored from it

tired geode

haha yeah ive been playing cs since the omega early days

spice swift
slim zenith
#

My first shooter was cs I think

tired geode
#

im not THAT old

slim zenith

Or maybe overwatch

i don't even know anymore

tired geode

i just started playing cs when i was like 10

slim zenith

tired geode

you do the math LOL

slim zenith
#

Well tbf it isn't old

spice swift
#

Ohhh I see all good

#

You’re still young

slim zenith
#

But it is older than the average age here

spice swift
#

Everyone started tac fps with ig

#

Or most of ppl

spice swift
#

My first big fps was mw2019

#

Wz

#

Got 1k hours

#

And now it’s val and apex my both main games

tired geode
tired geode
#

but yeah it would take a miracle to get me back to apex, even though I really enjoyed it for the first 10 seasons

#

and dev team seems to have settled into "milk players" mode

tired geode

kinda

#

i don't really play it seriously these days so i will have a while going wild before people memorize 95 different lineups i dont know

wet skiff

I feel like i am straight no regging over 30 of my shots, I hear/see impacts but no damage

Lol I saw it on the same post you linked lul

But Wattsons right. People LOVE top 1 rank in Apex.

Zach Mazer averages like 100-300 max usually and now he's 1200-2000

#

Life changing thing to be stolen from you by someone whose been caught teaming with cheaters like 3 seperate times

little verge
#

Respawn probably: "Well cheaters have to BUY cheats, right? That means they have money!

... Let them in."

young pine
#

no one at respawn has a fkin brain. like i said they enabled cheaters this season. everything had calmed down for the last few seasons

worn bloom
#

Last season I ran into only 2 cheaters. I gave Rspn a lot of credit for fixing that issue but they be messing up constantly

#

I tune into a stream and 1st game they had the "x player was banned in your game message" couple games later they get paired up with 2 full on cheaters

Apex might really be dying this time. so many content creators actually left

Wait this map is fun as far as I remember. COD has me excited for MW3 for once

can i get good rank in apex just with good aim?

i played few times before but only vs bots coz its new acc

you don't need kills to rank up

#

only placement count rn

still rune
#

placement matches? or what

#

oh u mean placement at end of match

#

like 2nd 3rd

so aim will help

or u mean i can just hide

and get good placing with 0 kills

#

wtf

still rune
unborn token
#

At sm pt you'll actually need to know what you are doing

#

Instead of shooting but eh

still rune
#

what rank i can get with good aim

#

can good aimer get dia/master

#

or other players can outplay and aim wont matter

#

also if u q solo does it mean all others r solo too? or u can play vs ful stack

dull falcon
#

Ima say masters

still rune
#

and when i spray mid range should i go for headshots

#

or body spray

#

is there any rifle with high dmg which can kill with least amount of bullets in the head with which ppl go for headshots mostly?

dull falcon
#

Hemlok pretty strong rn

still rune
#

it kills with how many hs

worn bloom
#

Bro you know you could test it out for yourself in the firing range

#

And you could get a feel for what guns feel good to use

#

At what ranges

#

But no, aim isnt enough in this game.

#

Gun skill, positioning, rotations, ability usage, nades, general game sense is needed and it takes time

little verge
#

Going for headshots doesn't work too well from my experience. Precision is more important than raw TTK speed, and if you're M&K you will deal with shit like the head flinch animation unlike roller will.

#

And yeah, aim skill isn't super important compared to other aspects in this game, especially when you consider 99% of the community doesn't have to consider gun skill.

lunar flame
#

Its already harder to headshot in a game with bullet travel time and height falloff

edgy crane
#

@unborn token

#

nosh is diamond now

#

so i play on main tmr

still rune
#

so i should spray in body unless using hemlock?

edgy crane
#

i mean just spray upper body and some shots is gonna be headshots

#

like i never go for them but i still hit them

#

cus i aim higher up but still on them

little verge
#

Upper chest is the usual way to go, yeah. If you recoil into the head or they crouch on their strafe then great, but you're guaranteed hitting body shots.

worn bloom
#

I never purposely go for headshots, its like intuition when you go for them if that makes sense. Like your aim is controlled and in that split second you get some headys

still rune
#

upper chest is more dmg then abdomen?

#

or same

little verge
#

Think of Apex less as an FPS and an exercise in tug of war. It's about using momentum, creating space, learning how to seize opportunities created by that space, etc. You'll do better with smart judgment and playing for your life/strong positioning than you would raw aim skill.

still rune
#

i see

#

Aim god or not if you make a dumb push into the open on 3 people you'll lose out no matter how good you are.

little verge
#

Not necessarily defensive, just be cautious. If you think a play could get punished really easily then look for alternatives.

#

How many people could have a shot on you, can you isolate one player, where are your teammates and what are they doing, is anyone stuck healing, who has the player advantage, etc.

still rune
#

if im new acc will i get npc in match in ranked

#

or all real ppl

little verge
#

Only bots are the ones trying to get early heirlooms to sell. Everyone otherwise is human.

Except the rollers.

wooden pewter
#

is it even worth playing apex until my console cosmetics are available through cross progression

still rune
#

but its a joke i guess?

#

so no bots

little verge
#

No, no in game bots run by Respawn.

still rune
#

r there npcs in ranked?

little verge
#

Closest thing to that would be the AI enemies in specific areas of the Storm Point map like the spiders. Two of the three require you to intentionally start interacting with while the other just needs proximity.

#

Otherwise nothing, just other players.

chat gpt is telling me that too high of a refresh rate can make motion harder to track, and it's also telling me that resolution effects percieved motion clarity, both of which I've long suspected. I might be playing somewhere around 120fp/hz for now on. I play better on that setting anyways

4k 120-160 looks very decent

genuinely the problem i have with aim comm is how much they overthink/complain about the small problems or issues sometimes

just play tha game

its called eleminating excuse. its fine so long as youre not actively looking for excuses to find

worn bloom
#

I get what youre saying, like that person posting earlier asking like the most inane questions, when they could literally just find out from playing themselves.

wary star
#

it will just make things blury

#

and then you'd have to do a sharpen filter

#

to make it less blury

#

and by that point the thing just looks the same as 1080p

worn bloom
#

But in the aim community, when you hit a plateau I could see why you would want to start looking at others thing to help break through

wary star
#

all that to add more input delay

worn bloom
#

Yeah I lowered fps to 60 just to expirence it and it adds motion blur. Chat GPT might be wrong on this

vague wind
#

"Yes, a combination of high refresh rates and frame rates can sometimes make motion harder to track for some individuals, especially when there's a significant difference between the frame rate of the content and the refresh rate of the display. This phenomenon is known as "motion blur," and it can occur when fast-moving objects appear smeared or blurry due to the quick succession of frames.

Here's how it works:

High Refresh Rate:

A high refresh rate, such as 120Hz, 144Hz, or 240Hz, allows the monitor to display more frames per second. This provides smoother motion and reduces the visibility of individual frames.
High Frame Rate:

A high frame rate, such as 60 frames per second (fps) or more, in video content or games ensures that the motion appears smoother and less jerky.
However, there can be instances where the combination of a high refresh rate and a high frame rate creates a sensation of motion blur or difficulty tracking fast-moving objects. This can happen when:

Persistence of Vision: Our eyes have a persistence of vision, meaning they retain an image for a brief moment before it fades. When the frame rate is much higher than what our eyes are used to, the images can appear too distinct, leading to perceived motion blur as our eyes struggle to track the rapid changes.

Frame Transition: With high refresh rates, frames transition more quickly, and this can result in less perceived motion blur in some cases. However, if the frame rate of the content doesn't match the refresh rate, it can lead to a disconnect between frames and make motion tracking more challenging.

Pixel Transitions: Rapid pixel transitions on high-refresh-rate monitors can create a persistence effect that appears as motion blur when the object's position changes between frames.

Stroboscopic Effect: When frame rates and refresh rates don't align, the stroboscopic effect can occur. This can make objects appear to jump or skip across the screen."

dull falcon
#

Yeah duh do u have a databaae of knowledge and can pass test

#

No i didn't think so

#

Gonna ask chat gpt how to get aimbot on apex

#

Better uet gonna ask for joy2key settings

vague wind
#

Crazy how uncharitable people can be today. There's at least three instances where I found chat gpt wrong about something, and I've only used it for two days.

1: Chat GPT tells me to disable Vsync when using Gsync.
2: Chat GPT tells me HDR10 is good.
3: Chat GPT tells me to stream with Adaptive Sync because it'll be smoother for the viewers.

So I'm not taking it as gospel. Instead of saying I'm an idiot without elaborating, actually take the time to elaborate instead of making a worthless drive by comment.
