apex

[worn bloom]

Lmao I thought about that yesterday. I just love MNK too much. Feel so free and dynamic even in close range. Its the best way to play

@dull falcon https://youtu.be/dsnO55Des2I?si=wcfYwaTaTaF4LpU7 this youtube channel has all the ALGS VODs dating to last year

KovaaKsCrouchingHugeArena This is the playlist I do for Apex and its GOATed

While I still have some ALGS hype I would like to thank my aim coaches @ViscoseOCE and @Caprah_
These 2 understand aiming better than anyone else does and I will personally guarantee improvement if you receive coaching from either of these 2

Interesting.. Aim training is in rn. Seen that a bunch of movement players started grinding it too. If you want to compete on Apex you need to be vakksd

[tepid glen]

caprah is insane

[worn bloom]

There are too many mid roller players on teams right now and really good MNK players not even being considered

[dull falcon]

More mnk equals more edge

[tepid glen]

theres also a few roller players who aren't in pro league rn

that are good

like naughty

[worn bloom]

I need to find a website that has ALGS stats

Don't tell me he was playing on a Skypad. Also I hate how those arm sleeves look man

[tepid glen]

battlefy

i have a skypad

pretty nice pad

my friend convince me to buy it

[tepid glen]

https://battlefy.com/apex-legends-global-series-year-3/

thats for year 3

[dull falcon]

Looks like an artisan to me idk

[tepid glen]

it could be either on e

[dull falcon]

Shit design wanna cop some pulsar ones theyre much nicer

[tepid glen]

can

cant tell tho

the bottom of the pad idk what that is

[dull falcon]

Isaa artisan fs u can see thzt lil triangle design at the start

[tepid glen]

oh yeha

you're right

doesn't look like the logo or text

[worn bloom]

I fuck with Pulsar actually putting their products everywhere

Thats the one

[dull falcon]

The letter print for skypad is uniform

Ppl ofp for consistent friction

Opt*

Would def rock a sleeve with a fresh hien tho

[tepid glen]

i have an otsu

[worn bloom]

Weird he's using an arm sleeve tho but I have the Paracontrol and its kinda rough so maybe thats the play

[tepid glen]

pretty nice pad

i should've gone for an xl tho

[dull falcon]

Blvkhand plays like fire beavers to me i might be trippin

[tepid glen]

i feel like arm sleeves are useful

my hands sweat a lot so i like the ones that cover your palms

[worn bloom]

Taskmasteer has hella top scores on Kovaaks too right?

[dull falcon]

When i get money near Christmas i want a xxl superglide mousepad

[dull falcon]

Yes

In reactivity as well

If you pull up the trippez playlist you will see

Its like 4 of em

[worn bloom]

Years go by where you heard streamers say you dont need to aim train, just play the game.

[dull falcon]

Aim training is fun to me

Therapeutic

[worn bloom]

Dont you use a Skypad right now tho?

[tepid glen]

you might not need to aim train but it's fun

[dull falcon]

Yeah

[tepid glen]

skypad is faster than superglide

[dull falcon]

Idk ive heard the feel bout the same

@lapis moat thoughts between superglide and skypad

[dull falcon]

I reall justcwant it for the size

[tepid glen]

👍

xl skypad is big enough for me

i want a slower pad tho

bc static is not it on a skypad

[worn bloom]

How long does it take to get used to a Skypad?

[tepid glen]

not that long

i loved it

[dull falcon]

There us a company that mashes glass pads

https://www.machinaultima.com/

[worn bloom]

I like aim training. Its chill. And even when youre not really improving on scores, over time youre learning to correct your bad habits

So you can always improve. The best FPS out lol

[tepid glen]

yeah

do you guys use a sensitivity randomizer?

i've been thinking of using one but idk yet

i currently just play a higher sens in kovaaks than in apex

[worn bloom]

I would if it was built into Kovaaks. I'm not going thru the trouble of changing sens or using an app for it

[tepid glen]

1200 1.73 in kovaaks and 1200 .95 in apex

[worn bloom]

I do 1600 0.6 in apex and 1600 0.8 in Kovaaks

[tepid glen]

i used to be on 1600 dpi

i converted it to same sens on 1200dpi tho

maybe a bit faster/slower but not by much

[lapis moat]

i have very limited time with a superglide, i remember that it is slightly slower

[dull falcon]

Ive never used one dont think i need it to practice

[tepid glen]

i tried my normal apex sens

lol

[dull falcon]

You still have it

[tepid glen]

👍

[worn bloom]

Imma try 3200 dpi soon. And also trial 1920x1200 16:10 resolution. Heard it really good for 1440p monitors

[tepid glen]

i think it would be useful for me

[worn bloom]

I just dont like changing too many things at once

[dull falcon]

Its mainly ab what u want to practice

[tepid glen]

my mouse control is not that great at the moment

[tepid glen]

3200dpi is kinda high

good luck with your armor swaps

[dull falcon]

Like if you play smoothbot on low sens vs high sens u still practice

[tepid glen]

yeah

i've been playing on 20cm in kovaaks

and 36 in apex

[dull falcon]

But like its arm then wrist smoothness u still need both

[tepid glen]

so going down is a bit odd

i don't really want to download the sens randomizer tho

[dull falcon]

I did this. Too i aint really noticed anything too crazy

[worn bloom]

There a video about how higher dpi is better. I think it relates to polling rate, moving your mouse more distance brings up the polling rate to its max. I just dont want it to be zooming on my desktop lol

[tepid glen]

but i think it would help with mouse control

[tepid glen]

yeah

i tried 3200 before

you can still armor swap but you have to be more precise

[tepid glen]

you think i should just stick to in game sens?

[dull falcon]

No

[tepid glen]

my friend said it helps with smoothness

[dull falcon]

Dont limit urself

[tepid glen]

and he has better scores than me so

i followed his advice

[dull falcon]

I got gm on smoothbot on both 30 cm and 43

[worn bloom]

Thats what I heard and it makes sense. I dont mind using a randomizer to change it up but I see no reason to change it myself. I do everything on the same sens and FOV

[tepid glen]

i might just change my sens in settings instead of downloading a randomizer

i keep my fov the same

but lower sens on depending on scene

like on dynamic i use regular in game sens

and static i use 50cm

or 57 don't remember

and for all tracking scenes i stick to 20cm

[dull falcon]

Idk man its weird so easy to get caught up on lil details

[tepid glen]

yeah

[worn bloom]

The way I see it, you can't change sens or FOV mid match so why would I do it for a scenario. Its kinda cheese. Which is okay if you want to just get the highest score possible

[tepid glen]

that's the thing

it's a random sens

oh wait

i see what you mean

[worn bloom]

I heard aimlab has that built into their software. Would be cool if it was in Kovaaks. I would use that 100%

[dull falcon]

Kovaaks.com is so mid

No recording feature

Is nice that its not a fucking ad fest tho

[tepid glen]

yeah

so does aimbeast

[worn bloom]

Kovaaks does what we need. Small team tho so things dont get updated as often but they do work.

I gotta get aimbeast to try it. Looks cool

[dull falcon]

I bought aimbeast

[lapis moat]

i dont lol i tested one when i was in japan

and that was it

[tepid glen]

i think i'm just gonna change my sens every day

see how it goes

[regal rose]

real

[dull falcon]

Keep in mind good form and teqnique

[tepid glen]

yeah

i'll try

my form is kinda bad

when i do tracking and i'm going left

i pull my arm down

so later on in the scene my mouse is all the way down close to the bottom of my pad

so i have to readjust

i don't really know how to solve this issu e

i think it might be becuase when i move left i also turn my wrist like in a downwards position

idk if taht makes sense

i'm bad at explaining

[dull falcon]

so close to top 100 on this one

i did it

[flint grotto]

Mouse drift

Its mostly normal

I just dont reset

I play at the bottom of my pad if im able to

[half salmon]

i just drift off my skypad onto my otsu next to it because im different

[arctic violet]

me stuck at 3900 😭 what sens u use?

[raven hull]

Wait are you not supposed to do that? Ive only ever aim trained with whatever sens i use in game otherwise i figured that would defeat the point. Or am i completely missing something here.

[tepid glen]

I think using a variety of different sensetivities can be useful

[tepid glen]

Damn

I only go in firing range when I load up apex

[devout tusk]

thats what i did on aug 9th

lmao

[tepid glen]

Lol

[versed shale]

got back into apex and ranked

placements put me in gold and I'm facing consistently majority pred/master lobbies

is this normal?

Its super hard all of a sudden

I remember being able to solo q till diamond without much of an issue now its impossible to climb at all

[arctic violet]

simple, don't play

[versed shale]

I want to play apex

[arctic violet]

good luck having fun 👍

[edgy crane]

Take this time to find a team and play scrims

Or learn roller

R5/kovaaks

[main merlin]

Bro the bp takes ages this season to finish

[dull falcon]

43 cm

[young pine]

hidden mmr this season

[dry shale]

Changing sensitivity stimulate both your motor skill learning and your attention when doing the task, cause you cant train mindlessly until you got used to the new sens.. I just open the randomizer you can find here in voltaic resources for example

[half salmon]

people be doing to much to try to get good like gahdamn just aim train 🙀

all that time randomizing ur sens changing how you breathe and fart to optimize for aiming can be spent in kovaaks

[warped lake]

Or just player roller

[half salmon]

or do that

i tried playing roller in scrims after like 2-3 weeks of learning it

my god i surpassed all my mnk skill in those 6 games

[warped lake]

Roller is so free

[main merlin]

Fastest way to finish bp?

[worn bloom]

Finish challenges or 3 stack win farm *everyone has to have the bp

[main merlin]

Soloq pubs are cringe rn

[worn bloom]

Gamers like to minimax everything. The change sens thing makes sense tho. If it was implemented into Kovaaks I would use it but I wouldn't go out my way

Solo would be too slow. You would need the XP boost from stacking

I havent played a single BR game and only do my missions and I'm like tier 35 or something

[frail kiln]

what percentage of the community would you guess plays MnK?

[torn oyster]

Brute force games doing the 10* challenges

[torn oyster]

15%

[frail kiln]

I'd guess closer to like 40% no?

I remember reading that Respawn would look at aim assist if players started switchign to controller to survive in the game

how did nothing ever come of that XDD

[frail kiln]

lets just say you were right, can you imagine how impossible it'd be to get a lobby if inputs were separate

[little verge]

Because Respawn just says lots of shit to keep people playing.

[frail kiln]

back on my fuck aim assist shit

[torn oyster]

Aim assist is a prominent issue due to how dominant over other input is. But even then, I'm not switching off mnk.

[warped lake]

That’s true dedication

I lost that war 😔

[raven hull]

🫡

[warped lake]

I converted inputs and now I use steam configs and 4-3 linear no dz 😔

[raven hull]

I feel the same, apex is the only game i really play and i still refuse to swap to roller

seems so pointless

[warped lake]

I started to have fun when I switched inputs

But my sense of fun is subjective

[torn oyster]

My time in Apex has dropped significantly.
I average 1-2k kills a season

[frail kiln]

hitting 180 spray full lounging in your chair

is probably pretty fun

[torn oyster]

I havnt had a proper session in like a week

roller players seeing people in here grind kovaaks and abuse stimulants to play at peak levels

[warped lake]

Streamer POV of me triple killing a team on roller

I do the same thing

But for different games that don’t have AA issues

[frail kiln]

lets say rotational aim assist was removed tomorrow

[warped lake]

I would go back to MnK

[frail kiln]

like 80% of roller pros are getting dropped I feel like

[warped lake]

Yes that too

[worn bloom]

Playing with sensors on mouse skates to have the lowest weight possible, cutting off extra fingers for better balance, snorting crushed caffeine pills to get a rush

[warped lake]

Rotational aim assist ruined cross platform

[frail kiln]

subtweeting me?

cmon man

Fnatic XD Jet is a good mousepad btw don't @ me

feels like a bathing suit but it's the first speed pad I've bought

and I'm obsessed

[warped lake]

You forgot to add the Adderall RX dose for optimal game sense

[worn bloom]

Hal, Genburten, Frexs switch back to MNK. Maybe a few others

[frail kiln]

Genburten is so fucking nasty on MnK

I feel like some of the other pros have the work ethic to switch too honestly

I was watching verhulst play MnK and I was like shit man he could be so good

[worn bloom]

I watched him drop 20 kills on MNK

[frail kiln]

Genburger lowkey has the most sane takes on AA and controller

no surprise since him and Hal could be pro with either input

[worn bloom]

Lmao this was me the other day. I played for an hour just chillin and shit. I was beammmmin

[half salmon]

because gen is literally radiant in val lol

[warped lake]

😭😭😭

[worn bloom]

Snipedown hates roller players and he's like a roller GOAT

Yeah Gen has hours on CSGO and he's a smart player

[frail kiln]

Look at someone like HisWattson right

there's no way he didn't just burn out

because MnK is grueling

[little verge]

Makes sense, rotational hurts good roller players too because it reduces the skill gap.

[frail kiln]

facts

[warped lake]

Steam configs are busted too

Ask @dull falcon

[frail kiln]

no bro controller should have the same movement and no clear disadvantage

[warped lake]

Oh yeah yeah you’re right bro

[frail kiln]

glad to clear that up

[warped lake]

I absolutely need my neostrafing steam config

[frail kiln]

It’s really awesome

https://tenor.com/view/up-set-whiplash-gif-11029484

someone needs to lead the holy war against Aim Assist

Doctor Disrespect isn't good enough of a figure head

[warped lake]

I would do it

[frail kiln]

needs to be shroud or better yet someone who switched inputs

Hal could do it

[warped lake]

I had zero experience with roller

Lol the funny thing about Wattson is, he used to meme on twitter about how "roller isnt broken, you just suck" and than a couple months ago he basically went out and said yeah roller isn't balanced

[frail kiln]

I know

[worn bloom]

But he's a legend in my book, like top 20 fraggers and he was the only MNK one on there

[frail kiln]

I was curious on his thoughts about it and was surprised to see him hold out for so long

its hard to find any clips of him ranting about controller XDD

Speaking of Shroud. Other games are having the same issues

[warped lake]

This is why I play roblox guys

[frail kiln]

krunker clears

CoD4 was fun on PC

last time I think I seriously played Call of Duty on PC and enjoyed it

[worn bloom]

Thats the funny thing to me. A lot of talented roller players should be FOR this. You're reducing the BS gap by a lot and real aimers rise.

[frail kiln]

they're fine with beaming each other for the time being I guess

I mean technically doesn't that put even more of an emphasis on strategy/tactics to secure wins

assuming your roller players and their roller players are capable of disgusting things

[warped lake]

😂

[frail kiln]

hence why I think Hal keeps winning since he swapped

[warped lake]

Not your typical 9-5 John that’s married with seven kids 😎

[main merlin]

9 to 5 is hard enough without an SO

[warped lake]

fr

[main merlin]

Some people are built diffy

[little verge]

That's why most pros seem to say it's busted and it's just the ignorant or stupid casuals making excuses.

[mystic agate]

none of these issues would exist if crossplay was optional

[main merlin]

Naw you still get beamed by roller players

[little verge]

Yeah, way too many people play PC with controllers.

[edgy crane]

Input locked lobbys

Ive been saying that for a year now i belive

[ashen trench]

my friend who works in respawn has recommended this multiple times too

[edgy crane]

it would be annyoing to code

but it can just grab your mouse/key id

[lethal wraith]

people are gonna be like "Apex can't survive with just mnk players 🤓 "

except it did for the longest time and it was somehow fine?

[frail kiln]

Can you ask him to recommend harder

[little verge]

But they were only making millions instead of billions, poor devs 😔

[lethal wraith]

real

[frail kiln]

What do you mean it survived without them

Was Apex originally MnK only?

Or not a console release I guess

[worn bloom]

In the early seasons Apex was mostly played on MNK. Up till about season 8. The game was different, way more forgiving, a little more tact, it was dope af

And it did just fine, had a stable playerbase, queues were fast

[lethal wraith]

• there was actually an option for no crossplay

[worn bloom]

Yup and it did it without crossplay. Also like if someone was on roller back than you thought they were playing at a disadvantage lmao

[dull falcon]

Everything ab pc roller is free

Auto aim plus auto movement

[worn bloom]

Fast forward to summer 2021 when Warzone was at a low point and you seen a lot of big streamers (a lot on roller), you seen a big shift in how the game was being played

[lethal wraith]

I remember when you would duel people in apex and you would both miss shots

good times

[worn bloom]

Seemingly everyone was on roller and over time it just became the dominant input and it overtook pro play

[worn bloom]

Good ol fashion mid offs

[warped lake]

Exactly

Free movement

[ashen trench]

I DID IT

[dull falcon]

Is that gm?

[devout tusk]

nice

im fucking hardstuck 3200

choke 2 and 4 or 3 and 5 every single time 😔

[frail kiln]

I missed out

fuck man

[little verge]

Yup, and that only increased the skill gap because it was about who could utilize swaps, play positioning well and mix-ups, and who made the least mistakes. In the rare time you'd get obliterated you knew it was either a pro or cheater. Now it's just roller.

[ashen trench]

604 runs for it

[frail kiln]

I honestly thought 30-30 being so good would be good for MnK

and I mean it is

but I tried it on roller

and it's equally as busted

[worn bloom]

Lol bro when I was sniping on roller I was shocked how accurate I was lol. Its not hard at all

AND Hal been crutching 30-30 on roller, I think he got Scump addicted to that shit

yeah controller 3030 is busted

[worn bloom]

So they really have short and long range options covered. Where's controller weak lol

Choked a scen completely

But today my pbs were huge

[little verge]

Choking a run at the end is the worst feeling.

[unborn token]

I just started hard tensing

I had such a good run

Like fuck me man this is so saaad

[little verge]

Yeah, I feel that. You either see the score or the last ten seconds on the timer and your pressure skyrockets to do well and it all crumbles.

[unborn token]

36+ seconds in and after that I started choking

😭😭

[unborn token]

I didn't even

I was just tracking it very well and then in my head I realized that this was going to be a top 10 score

[little verge]

Yeah, I can see the tension build up at that mark. Overshooting and shaky resetting. That was super clean too.

[unborn token]

Exactly

At least I tracked I how I was supposed to for a good period of time so I got value out of the scenario

[little verge]

Just hand teleport guide next time and you'll clear

[devout tusk]

val isnt source

and what do you mean by 1:1 ratio, what setting are you basing that off of

[true ravine]

first of all, u shouldnt be converting sens from a tac fps to apex, its tottaly different play styles.

but

if u want to

ADS sens needs to increase the multiplier based on your FOV

to get 1:1 ADS sens on 110FOV u need to put your multiplier at 1.318 or something like this if im not wrong

[worn bloom]

Yeah. Just play 800 dpi 1.2-1.4. Converting your tac fps sens doesnt make sense here

[devout tusk]

https://jscalc.io/embed/Q1gf45VCY4tmm2dq

[unborn token]

Why are you playing apex with your tac fps sens

And if your ads feels significantly slower than your hip fire then it isn't 1 to 1

If I played my valorant sens on apex I would be barely able to turn

Anything from 1.2-1.5 800 dpi or 0.6-0.9 ( I believe ) should be fine for you

[devout tusk]

you have to look around so much more in apex than most games too

so even the same sens is gonna "feel" slower in apex

[dull falcon]

I need some feedback

[devout tusk]

Yeah i was just saying if it is the same it might feel slower just in general because of the nature of the game

but as for it actually being slower you should know that the in game fov setting in apex is innacurate

its off by 2 degrees or so

that jscalc link will give you all the correct values

and what multi to put for ads to get 1:1

can you link that

oh that is because that "1" isnt being applied to your hipfire sens

it is an aditional scaling that is applied to the ads sens which is already scaled based on your hipfire fov and the ads fov

so that jscalc will give you a number like 1.32 like r3d mentioned

which will make your hipfire for that optic 1:1

[half salmon]

hold up guys im gonna hold this angle 😈😈😈

oh fuck man i got 180d by a kraber

[devout tusk]

@stoic slate realized the calc is probably pretty overwhelming for a new apex player so hopefully this helps when you look at it

[lethal wraith]

I still have my settings from 110 fov on 90 fov

[devout tusk]

my scalings are all completely arbitrary

1x is just 1 tho

everything else is just 1.2 or something

then i change it if i miss

a random amount

[main merlin]

Mental is half the battle frfr

[lethal wraith]

apex is a mess

if you use the fov slider for example

and slide it to 90 fov

not only is the 90 fov wrong

but it will be off by like .X

like if you sens is 1.7

and you use the slider

it can be 1.655555555

also if you want the actual fov you want

divde your fov by 70 and change cl_fovscale in configs to that value

[worn bloom]

Lol guy was so pressed he screenshotted our replies

[warped lake]

That’s for typing emails

how do i disable the effect of the bot dying

it just randomly started happening today

yesterday it wasn't like this

yeah

the animations started happening today when i loaded up kovaaks

yesterday it was normal

now my audio is fucked up

weapons sound coming from the right

and the hitmarker sound coming from the left

Anyone wanna 1v1

Pref roller players

[dull falcon]

do that on r5

I haven’t tried R5

It seems like a pain to set up

its not

[tepid glen]

me too

i fixed my audio issue

not the effect of the bot dying tho

nah

i turned it off

all good

[true ravine]

since u like screenshots, youre the one who doesnt read, lol

[true ravine]

it takes less than 10 minutes to set it up

[true ravine]

it can be something from this map specific, most of humanoid scenarios has this ragdoll animation

[true ravine]

controller is for racing games

[warped lake]

it's for abusing horizontal aa

[wary star]

?

Rotational you mean

[warped lake]

yes ty for clarifying

i don't play apex enough anymore to know

[tepid glen]

I don't even play apex anymore other than go into the range and mess around

But I might download r5

[wintry cypress]

r5 is fun here and there

[torn oyster]

R5 is just as worse if not more than apex.
It's all cfg users in 1v1s

at least its not rng fest

so i dont lose my shit

[tepid glen]

what is happening

lmao

[young pine]

you're about to pb

that's whats happening

[tepid glen]

well

i was just warming up so i just played it for like 5 minutes

[worn bloom]

You held too long, should’ve sold

[young pine]

no no no you don't sell you just buy more

buy the dip!

[dull falcon]

Got new mouse skatez coming today so happy for it

[little verge]

What are you going for? Dots or standard for your mouse?

[dull falcon]

standard for my mouse

[tepid glen]

what kind of skates did you get?

[little verge]

Hear those have great glide, just wear down fast/pretty thin

You're about to go crazy on some smoothbot

[torn oyster]

Yeah I burned through mine on skypad in a few months

Extensive use

[tepid glen]

I bought some

Still haven't used them

I might put them on my mouse later tho

[torn oyster]

They're good on most surfaces. Consistent glides

Pretty quick

[tepid glen]

Good to know

[dull falcon]

@wary star you used to have uv in ur name

'

what is this mean

[little verge]

I've debated on trying their dots but I also don't know if I want too much more glide lol

[torn oyster]

I dropped corepads and tiger ice for obsidian / jade dots from xray

[dull falcon]

What is that

Prob the best aftermarket skates I've ever used

[dull falcon]

good on glass?

[frail kiln]

no you will scratch your mousepad lol

[flint grotto]

?

[frail kiln]

they're sapphire/hard skates

you dont wanna use on glass mousepad

oh obsidians are ptfe

my bad

[dull falcon]

i want a new mouse pad but not an artisan

[little verge]

I was gonna say lol. I swore so many people on my twitter feed used those.

[frail kiln]

fnatic jet xd

if you wanna try something weird

[worn bloom]

Is that a good one? I want a fast mousepad that’s cloth. No glass or plastic

[frail kiln]

i dont even know what its made of

but like its softpad that has like no friction

tbh I'm even using it for tacfps now i just like it a lot

but I swear its better with PTFE than glass skates

[worn bloom]

Though that 25% off on sky pad is tempting but I really don’t want to sacrifice comfort and I didnt like how the razer one felt

[worn bloom]

I hear good things about xraypad and LGG pads

[sonic marlin]

Vaxee PA

cheap and goated

[dull falcon]

I LIKE THE size options for those

[frail kiln]

Vaxee PA is so nice

[sonic marlin]

So ive heard

[frail kiln]

honestly lasts pretty well

But like this pad is very much on the slow side

[sonic marlin]

I want a shidenkai when the new one releases but it depends on its durability

[frail kiln]

was also thinking about shidenkai before I got fnatic XD

why not

just controller 🙂

[worn bloom]

They have a desk cover for a good price but it’s massive. That 1000x500 is like perfect but sold out

[sonic marlin]

Hahaha

[frail kiln]

I want to controller grind feel like it'd be fun

like learning how to ride a bike from scratch again

[sonic marlin]

Shidenkai i want but i mainly play cs

[sonic marlin]

so i need a control pad

[dull falcon]

its not fun

trust

[frail kiln]

vaxee PA + some faster pad for non-tacfps

I went Fnatic Pad because cheap and was on amazon prime

[sonic marlin]

Vaxee Pa is pretty cheap right

its like $30 or something no?

[frail kiln]

ye it is but I wish it was ever so slightly larger

[frail kiln]

why should I trust you kovaaks abuser?

[worn bloom]

Poor sleep days might be roller days for me lol. Not getting enough sleep is like the biggest debuff

[frail kiln]

I have inverse sleep schedule

its a vibe

[worn bloom]

Play controller for a few days than go back to MNK. You feel so free and dynamic

[frail kiln]

I stg playing dm on roller as warmup

I get some residual aim assist

it's real

[worn bloom]

Like on MNK? Lol

[frail kiln]

trust

[worn bloom]

I swear aim training on mnk made me even better on roller. I just don’t stafe or move well

[frail kiln]

I just can't vibe with no deadzone

swear i'm just drifting all over the place

[worn bloom]

What roller do you have?

[frail kiln]

xbox one

[dull falcon]

that shit is so bad

[frail kiln]

do I gotta cop a new one?

[dull falcon]

probably not

but if yorue talking ab the elite series one stay away from those

[worn bloom]

I like how the new Xbox controllers feel. I used to swear by the PlayStation ones

[dull falcon]

i like the premium feel of the material but its honestly bad

[vague nexus]

💪 💪 💪 💪

[dull falcon]

nice bb

[frail kiln]

now that I think of it there is p noticable input delay

[dull falcon]

the main thing aside from drift which i dont like is the buttons dont feel as tactile as the razer ones which i mean for a price like that it should be , the setting button placement is so uncomfortable , the razer on the back buttons are put in a place which feels uncomfortable and that button above the left stick is like weird to reach

[frail kiln]

bruh

[dull falcon]

also the razer one is compatible with control freeks

is not

[frail kiln]

200-300 is crazy, I got a completely modded gamecube controller for less wth man 😐

[frail kiln]

overclock gamecube controller fuck it we ball

[dull falcon]

I overclocked mines

[frail kiln]

my brother in Christ you got enough paddles?

[worn bloom]

PlayStation controllers have very low input delay but you can over clock your Xbox controllers. It made a difference for me (maybe placebo)

[frail kiln]

hear me out what about foot pedals too

you could be like organ player

open mic

because all these controller players in my lobbies

won't stop fucking talking

[worn bloom]

My steam name is a linkin park song and these ppl keep singing it lol

[worn bloom]

What you don’t see is the 2 extra buttons next to R1-R2

I use my mouses dpi button to play/pause my music. Nice for situations

[frail kiln]

Apex has no meaningful game audio anyways

[dull falcon]

thyre just extra buttons i can bind

they dont really go to anything

[worn bloom]

All this roller talk

I use a Gamesir G7. 2 paddles, no drift, mechanical face buttons and they have a updated one with Hall effect joysticks

[dull falcon]

Just put them on feels better

[spice swift]

skypad enjoyer !

[unborn token]

skypad the goat padf

fr

[worn bloom]

Bruh just as I was saying I wanted a faster cloth pad, mine just feels fast AF today. I'm shooting zigzags

Must've broken in or something.

[ashen trench]

my hien feels fast ahahah

and i dont like it

i prefered the textured feel 😦

[worn bloom]

Is my text red?

[ashen trench]

no

[worn bloom]

TF

[main merlin]

Melee kids go wild

[frail kiln]

Phob gang

[worn bloom]

I posted it again and it didnt send

[worn bloom]

Hien is supposed to be fast pad. I think weather and just daily use change it over time

[main merlin]

I don't play melee enough anymore to get a phob

[frail kiln]

Honestly same

I thought it would reignite my passion but I was just too depressed realizing my hands don't work like they used to

[main merlin]

Naw melee just too hard if you aren't good at fighting games

Soo I quit lol

Are aqua control pads worth?

[spice swift]

best investment for tracking !

[flint grotto]

Skypad for tracking is over hyped imo

[spice swift]

@unborn token hit top 400 on some aimlab scenario should I be proud ?

[spice swift]

depend on your mouse control

I think

[flint grotto]

Not really

[spice swift]

but clearly no the best

[flint grotto]

I just think its over rated for tracking

[spice swift]

but the one who got best tracking potential

[spice swift]

mousepad a so relative soo idk

I don't see that much ppl with this pad

I saw more artisan pad

I will receive my artisan zero tomorrow

so I will compared for tracking scenarios

[flint grotto]

I think the skypad is a fun pad

And a great pad for people who like the feeling of low friction

But i dont think its definitively the goated tracking pad

[sonic junco]

you're goated

[flint grotto]

[dull falcon]

!rank @flint grotto

[dull falcon]

!rank

[unborn token]

Pretty nice yes

[little verge]

Yeah, it's definitely down to preference once you get to that stage of glide. Some like it, some don't. I think it's a great pad for practicing regardless just because you really need to have good control, but honestly it's not like the Hien was holding me back or anything. A good pad is a good pad.

[spice swift]

my best try @unborn token

[unborn token]

Pretty good

[tepid glen]

just jitter

or don't

[worn bloom]

2560x1440 16:9 vs 1920x1200 16:10

Longer distance

Stretched res worth it here? Really good for frames, hitboxes are a bit thiccer, maybe smoother in game

Con: antialiasy fuzzy look

Also 1920x1200 is like a standard res, its already on Nvidia and the Apex settings so you dont need to set it up

[unborn token]

Works both if you incorporate some sort of jittering

And just pulling down

[frail kiln]

First pub win on rolla

Havoc just feels too insane

LMAO

I understand Verhulst now

this shit hurts my hands

I might have to give up the dream on day 1 lmao

[tepid glen]

beat my pb

trying to get 2000 tho

[worn bloom]

wym bro this shit comfy AF - top 5 underrated console roller goat age 17, has arthritis

[frail kiln]

getting elo >>> being able to use my hands

[tepid glen]

lmao

[worn bloom]

Just from these numbers I can tell this is air voltaic invincible turbo remix 4

[tepid glen]

nah

it's thin aiming long

i'm bad at air scenes

[worn bloom]

If a roller player tells me they play like that than I will accept they're just better, fingers too battle-scarred to use a keyboard

[tepid glen]

my reactive is ass

[worn bloom]

Lol I'm kidding but would be nice to see the names of the scenarios for that old score snipe

Jk im not goated enough to score snipe.... Yet

[frail kiln]

Mid range is hard

unless I have 3030 in my hands

idk maybe I'm too shit rn

[unborn token]

What scen

[tepid glen]

thin aiming long

[unborn token]

I forgor what score I have on that

[tepid glen]

my old score was on 20cm

[unborn token]

Fuck

[frail kiln]

thats how I played Melee too tbh

[worn bloom]

Shouldve never told him, that mfer will snipe your score frfr

[tepid glen]

rn it's lower

[frail kiln]

I could only moonwalk to the left though because of it

[tepid glen]

i beat it on 38.5cm

i somehow feel more consistent on 20cm tho

i was consistently getting 1800 but rn i'm getting like 1600-1700 most times

[worn bloom]

I'm loving every energy gun rn. Havoc my favorite AR and the Volt lowkey hitting but 1x > Digi on it

[frail kiln]

back to mnk

I feel like nobody talks about how much this shit hurts your hands

like extesy or whatever his name is

that shit is no bueno

end up like Hax$

get stuck playing Apex on one of these

[unborn token]

depressing ass scenario

[tepid glen]

Lol

I used to Play it a lot

[worn bloom]

Best way to play Apex frfr

[unborn token]

me when yoshimitsu

[worn bloom]

Yeah claw is probably really bad long term but he uses configs and he's not super impressive 1v1

[tepid glen]

maybe i should switch too

[tepid glen]

except i don't play apex

lol

[unborn token]

Good you are a happy person

[tepid glen]

i am

[carmine viper]

@dull falcon 22cm/360

[tepid glen]

i was doing that same scene rn

lol

but my scores are pretty bad

[dull falcon]

Nice

[tepid glen]

my score on that scene is 2499

it's been a while since i've done this scene

[dull falcon]

Keep pushing

[frail kiln]

Reps is so right about digi threats needing a rework

bruh

getting 180 sprayed through smoke early game is so dumb

[worn bloom]

Cat needs a lot of number adjustments.. more than Horizon

Horizon Q should be like cat Q where you can shoot it out. IDK how much that would help

[devout tusk]

that psp monster hunter grip

[stark brook]

Any goats know how to set up controller for aim labs

Trying to get my sens right but it only supports mnk sens

[young pine]

ngl after 10 minutes of controller my hands hurt like a mf

[dull falcon]

But aim assist ✅️

[dull falcon]

Digi is fine

[young pine]

no digis are not fine lol

they need to remove it as an item and make it someones ability or somethin

1 item can counter a legend's ability wthout any effort. and no way to know when someone has a digi until its too late

[frail kiln]

the not knowing when someone has a digi until its too late is the real problem

[wary star]

ultra violet

rip

i thought he came back

[noble anchor]

bloodhound: am i a joke to you

i wouldn't mind they remove digi but i would miss the 4-10x

[wary star]

i would mind a lot

digis are the only thing a mnk player can use to fight a controller

[devout tusk]

apex players try not to find something new to complain about challenge

[tepid glen]

Today I will complain about aim assist

[half salmon]

new roller guys >-<

[true ravine]

0.6 aim assist

whos up to 3v3 DM?

[young pine]

cmon zaizen you dont believe that

if you think digi is good for the game you've got some sentimental feelings for it

[warped lake]

I’m down

When

[dull falcon]

Digis are fine

I think ppl are just mad that bang is more played than ever

Bang mains eating good

[noble anchor]

and tomorrow i will complain about how empty the mid-season patch notes are

[edgy crane]

I mean, they hard counter any visual clutter in the game

[dull falcon]

Good for mnk

Why doesn't aim punch do anything to roller players

[edgy crane]

It does some time

But waaaay less them mnk

But if bang goes mega meta they need to fix spawnrate or smth

[frail kiln]

shes already mega meta

and don't get me wrong I play MnK and froth at the mouth of having digi + bang on my team

just think it's a hilarious interaction when other team tries to drop smoke and you just get free kills through smoke

[true ravine]

people not playing bloodhound when bangalore is meta sounds crazy for me

u just dont need digi

[torn oyster]

horizon bang cat is just to good right now

[young pine]

Bloodhound scan duration isn't enough to counter

And his ult doesn't help the team

[half salmon]

brotha ur just wrong 🤣🤣

[half salmon]

horizon bang blood, horizon bang fuse, horizon bang cat top 3 legend comps rn

ive only used blood in ranked atm

[young pine]

full body scan lasts like what 1 second?

[half salmon]

scrims this weekend running horizon bang blood

[torn oyster]

if olympus ill use wraith
if we/brokenmoon ill use horizon/bang

[half salmon]

fuse is still a good pick on WE

storm point is still not back in customs

so cant even play scrims on sp

[dull falcon]

Cat horizon new castle is so balsnced

[half salmon]

newcastle is a meh pick for me

heavily relies on yk ur team DYING

[dull falcon]

Caustic meta on that map what hairdresser

[dull falcon]

Nah he makes spots playable

Nice lil makeshift rampart

[half salmon]

idk i dont play zone

i play like flex edge/zone

just depends on the pull

with an edge comp

[dull falcon]

I play edge fs ive notice

[naive kindle]

the only thing I complain about for apex is aim assist / current trash ranked points system

[wary star]

no reg'ing with 10ms

[urban sluice]

0 no regs counted

[raven hull]

Yeah i can't see any no regs, all 4 wingman shots show damage splats

and the flatline spray looked normal too

Having 10ms in a public lobby should be a crime tho, i have 14ping to the server but every lobby i get into is 50+

[unborn token]

She is already

In this stage

She is one of the best legends for comp rn

[real rain]

1. cheaters
2. aim assist
3. too loud gunfire + too frequent third parties
4. SBMM is so poorly implemented
5. legend ability spam over gunfire
6. macros, scripts, source engine abuse
7. laggy servers, low tickrate
   modern apex

[spice swift]

all of this= 1 billion from the shop

[wary star]

3rd wing didn't reg

[raven hull]

Oh yeah you're right, its the 2nd damage splat that carried over visually.

[devout tusk]

you just missed #3 lol

OXG Thordan Smash (@Thordansmash)

apex legends is working on a new perk system based on legends. It’s at the play test stage and getting the kinks worked out, incredibly similar to the mobile version of the game when they had it, no idea on release date but nice to know they are working on new progression…

So much wrong with the game, I hope they don’t add more shit that might make it worse

And a system like this has no place in comp or ranked

[worn bloom]

VT StrafingFlame 🔥

[edgy crane]

you think they care that is a competitive shooter? no they do not care. lets add more things that they will scrap

oh areanas here you go

[tepid glen]

A perk system

Wtf

[edgy crane]

nvm we dont care about fixing it

bye bye

[tepid glen]

If they do that for a sperate mode then it's fine

But for br is stupid

[worn bloom]

Once they add bots to lobbies, it will truly be dead. FN has that and it’s a popular game but I feel like that ruined the experience for me

Funny thing about Arena’s.. Ppl are playing 3v3 tdm customs so a system like that would be popular if done right

[tepid glen]

I kinda want arenas back now

It was kinda wacky but

[nova girder]

saem

[worn bloom]

I didn’t mind arena’s BUT matchmaking was so bad and I heard higher ranks is all xim cheaters

[worn bloom]

High key an arena grind would be hot right now. I have no interest in BR at the moment

[tepid glen]

Yeah

[half salmon]

a small teeny weeny octane perk is TOGGLE STIM

also octane has a triple jump perk

that is fun

ash perk in mobile actually makes her sorta viable (?)

makes her arc snare basically like a placable

[dull falcon]

You know what they chose to do instead of actually treating the core issues run away from it

[half salmon]

if people run into it they get snared

[worn bloom]

They just like me fr

[worn bloom]

Lmao they need to just incorporate the good ideas into current kits than

[worn bloom]

I like that idea, like a trap

[timber atlas]

any kovaaks scenarios/routines for apex?

Sorry

Prediction cancelling is pretty good tho

[timber atlas]

ill try that

New updated version of the Kovaaks routine I do pretty much daily that @NotBuckshot helped me revise and make better, reactive tracking and smoothness focused but has a little of everything else in it aswell :)

Share Code: KovaaKsCrouchingHugeArena

This playlist is really nice and well rounded but has a focus on reactivity and smoothness

[tepid glen]

How long is it

[worn bloom]

Like 20-25 minutes

[timber atlas]

where do i put the share code

[worn bloom]

Click playlist and it should have a place at the bottom for it

[timber atlas]

aight appreciate it

[quaint karma]

i know the input

hes cheating

thats soft aimbot

[wintry cypress]

pretty much

close strafes close to cover and just insta 100 beams me

i peaked on the other side and took 50dmg before as well

i thought i could sneak behind him and get free dmg but this guy has spidey senses installed into his apex legends

literally turned around so fast on me

holy fuck

they actually fixed it

I didn’t even realize we’re getting patch notes but damn man no Catalyst nerfs at all

[raven hull]

Dont expect a nerf till the patch after her heirloom comes out

[half salmon]

eh now that i think abt it

horizon is still busted

[little verge]

Leave it to Respawn to give a grenade aim assist

[worn bloom]

Look how they hit Horizon after the heirloom lol. I miss when no one used her. The only pro who did was Zach Mazer lol. Once Hal does something, its ova

[raven hull]

And they did the same to seer as well

they have a track history of it

well i mean its pretty standard. Keep them op till you release the expensive item

[worn bloom]

Buffs before, nerfs after lol. But ayo fuck Seer

[raven hull]

wait till people buy it up

gut them

nah the rampage is horrendous i would rather a p2020

dude look at the clip in slow mo

shots go threw them i swear to god

Rampage is fine, the ROF is just really wonky to get used to.

[half salmon]

man i shoot one burst then i get shot in the back by a 3 man

i love KC

[frail kiln]

Horizon gutted man I just started abusing it

WTF

honestly pretty W patchnotes

still seems so small though

Am I right in thinking they up'd the importance of elims ever so slightly?

[half salmon]

not even that bad

still op

only character that can take height with team

some spots are only playable because of horizon

[timber atlas]

should i do it like before an apex session, mid, or after session

[alpine trail]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A2r0l8BCqk

[half salmon]

my stack has been busy lately and ive been solo queuing playing lifeline

i gained like 700 rp today lol

just take initiative, make calls and plans

tell your teammates to back out of stupid fights (works like 60% of the time)

[main merlin]

You have to igl in pubs now too

If you soloq

[half salmon]

also land foundry and phase driver

literally #1 poi in terms of loot

foundry has like 80% chance for gold knock

its insane

gold knock lifeline saved my ass from -75 like 10 times today

like solo q horizon personally doesnt work when u dont have a stack to coordinate a push

[alpine trail]

i told them to back off lol

and not standing in a gibby ult is common sense

did you not watch how brainless my teammates were

and i get that more often than not

[half salmon]

idk maybe think about what YOU couldve done there to maybe give the bloodhound (no movement) a chance to not getting hit by the gibby ult

such as "gibby ult take my horizon Q"

like even if he backed off hes gonna still get stunned by gibby ult bcz he has no movement

[unborn token]

maybe i pb

[alpine trail]

he had plenty of time to not get out. He was ulted LOL

he pushed in before it even went off

that is some boomer ass reaction speed ify ou cant react to that

[spice swift]

above vt empyrean ?🤯

[unborn token]

i mean this one is better @spice swift

[ashen trench]

wanna see some heartbreak

[spice swift]

this is fcking nasty fr !

is rev supposed to have a wallhack or not

i swear i heard the devs say that they didn't want his passive to be a wallhack

[ashen trench]

we got it

[unborn token]

will surely pb

[unreal bough]

anyone have a permanent solution to this shit

first server errors now this

what's next

i've deleted and reinstalled these files, after a few days, this error comes back and bites me in the ass

i wouldnt be surprised if i boot up apex next time and my pc explodes

[tepid glen]

Lol

Last time I had an issue my game kept crashing and showed one of those

I just verified integrity of files and it fixed it

Maybe it'll fix your problem

[unreal bough]

that's what i always do

except steam has room temp iq

and just says "will redownload" or w.e

i have to manually delete the file which causes the error from the game folder

then it redls, then game runs fine

but the problem being is that it comes back after a few days

[tepid glen]

im having fun on tf2 rn

there seems to be new players so it's not all sweats

[edgy crane]

Not all spinbots

?

[tepid glen]

nope

man

i'm barely level 36 on the bp for apex

[worn bloom]

Doing it before has made a difference from my experience. No different that NBA players having layup lines and shooting shots before the game.

running the most jank loadouts right now

but I'm fucking farming

Turbocharger Devo is legit I swear

I was listening to the weapons Dev talk about it and i wanted to give it a shot
