apex

[spiral mirage]

+15 points or whatever it is

And then quit in D4 because it's full of gamers

[vast oak]

prolly a year ish

[subtle radish]

Well that's weird, cuz i've been playing with the same comps for like a year and a half

[vast oak]

idk apex always been rough on fps for me

use ryzen 75800x and 3060 get 230 fairly consistently now

[subtle radish]

Holy

[sonic marlin]

Apex decides my FPS depending on the day lmfao

[thorn swallow]

nah next game i dropped 1600 dmg with like 8kp

[thorn swallow]

my fps wont wiggle off 240 but it still wants to feel dog and idk why

[spice jungle]

too hard for me to learn lol

dude what, we have similar pc stats, i have a 5700x and 2070 super, and i lock at 190, dips around 140

also @bright elm my buddy told me since i cant run the finals. if i swicthed to that new 3xd cpu, id be able to run 240fps constant, so i think its our cpus that are bottle necking just a little heads up

[spice jungle]

@fading zodiac how do u recommend i progress in voltacis? im struggling on uhh one moment

[spice jungle]

my dynamic is asss like legit bronze idk how i made it even silver, how do i improve on dynamic?

do you guys need to reset on smoothbot?

novice

or smoothsphere*

[half salmon]

like reset your mouse?

sometimes

just depends on bot movement

[spice jungle]

yeah

[half salmon]

sometimes it doesnt require me to

but i try to reset my mouse when the bot does very little movement

so i can correct back quickly

[spice jungle]

on smoothbot its less then smoothsphere i find, and okay i see

i was wondering cause i upped my sens from 0.8 apex to 1.0 which i think is decent on cm/360 wise and didnt know if i was doing it wrong or something

[half salmon]

changing ur sens is fine lol, just find whatever is comfortable

[spice jungle]

this some bs like i cant focus on smoothing if im constantly resetting

@half salmon @fading zodiac

this my issue lol

whut that means

i wanna learn

how should i reset? like back to middle then?

i guess i only small reset from habits on apex, no time to full reset sorta

got you got you

il work on it

what does dragging mean?

i wanna get better so im in a begineers mind set like state so

how do i not drag my aim?

https://streamable.com/vwh492 this was a better run from other day when i was warmed up tbh

[half salmon]

turn off bullet holes bruh 😭

look ugly ah hell

[spice jungle]

howwww

so much better tyty

omg

i been looking for this for forever lol

yeah reading im learning. focusing on a target has been an issue ive had

mine dont have that

oh wait nvm

i just didnt see it ig

@fading zodiac @half salmon sens does matter tho imo, now that i upped it i can track the bot and keep up

a bit shaky cause not used to it, and still adjusting to glass but yeh

ahh ok, i kinda was just copying mattyow lol

ok got it

[sonic marlin]

matty has alot of different themes lol

I recommend playing most scenarios at 103 ow fov

[mental ridge]

@wintry cypress true 1x r301 is like kovaaks gun

[wintry cypress]

Ikr its better than volt lmao

[empty thistle]

why do I avg like 1.3kd on eu r5 servers and 0.8 on NA

is ping that big of a diff

[twilit flicker]

eu has ai experiments

barely any humans

[empty thistle]

is that way of ur saying eu r5 players are ass lol

or is there legit ai bots on there 😂

[twilit flicker]

just ass players

[mental ridge]

u gonna tell me american are actually good?

[twilit flicker]

theres less dogshit movement players on na

[wintry cypress]

Even then u can still beam them

Unless theyre supergliding

[sonic marlin]

Can beam them when supergliding too

[wintry cypress]

If ur good enough and they just superglide towards you yeah sure

But most of the time when i see a superglide i wont waste my bullets

[sonic marlin]

I trust in my aim enough

[mental ridge]

define dogshit movement

[sonic marlin]

Neo and ras strafe when you dont need to

[twilit flicker]

spamming lurches and superglides

while barely hitting any bullet

[twilit flicker]

no one doing neo in r5

neo with no speedboost and gun out is just not doable

[mental ridge]

i mean r5r is the best way to learn hitting bullets while spamming lurches

i guess na people just play r5r for ego and not for training ?

[raven hull]

nah eu is just full of specimens who only play headglitches and hide behind the terminals like theres money on the line

[torn oyster]

back in the earlier days of r5 I just played death match on fragment.
was fun

[sonic marlin]

I just shoot people

[wintry cypress]

That shit is always so funny

[wintry cypress]

I remember shipment tdm 😭

[quaint karma]

better players and the noregs get you killed

[arctic violet]

someone for ranked?

[ornate gorge]

yes

[quaint karma]

i had a shipment tdm server

but people dont seem to wanna play tdm

[wintry cypress]

Rip

[empty thistle]

Not great shots but it's improvement so I'll take it

[young pine]

getting shot in the back over and over isn't very fun

[half salmon]

backshots 😃😃😃

[rotund rivet]

is it safe to play apex now

[half salmon]

yes

as in the hacker wont do anything to random people lol

[rotund rivet]

aight cause I still have 5 fucking ring closings on that rampart challenge

[bright elm]

time to rat

[rotund rivet]

no i run forward with bbgirl shiela

[bright elm]

what i did was afk in a rat spot found on apexratspots.com

then i went to the bathroom

and pooped

the whole time

[rotund rivet]

i love how we can have these intimate conversations

also i play bloodhound cause I hate rats, so...

[bright elm]

best way to get the rampart challenges over with

[green kraken]

best way to get rampart challenges over with is to not play essentially

all I did was afk and went to tdm for the damage and kills

[rotund rivet]

Ring closings 😭

[green kraken]

yeah

[frail kiln]

Finishing a 17 minute game with 38 damage is fucking wild

I love ranked so much and I love all the wonderful people we share this planet with

[rotund rivet]

Im not grinding ranked so i cant relate haha

[bright elm]

har har har

[raven hull]

The funny weapon

[spice jungle]

wanna 1v1 sometime?

[green kraken]

THIS GUY IS FLAMING ME FOR USING OFF ANGLES AS WRAITH LMAO

[mental ridge]

whats a off angle

[green kraken]

Off angles in most games which is a term from tac shooters like CSGO Overwatch and Valorant where you are basically doing damage from angles they wouldn't expect you to

It doesn't have to be a flank per say

[mental ridge]

thats basically the most efficient playstyle in apex

[green kraken]

Yes

[mental ridge]

like why take fair 1v1s if u can shove a pk up their back for free

[green kraken]

Why would you take a fair 1v1 when you know 90% of the fights you take are on roller

[mental ridge]

like my aim is shit i cant win fair 1v1s my movement isnt good i basically only have a high kd coz my whole playstyle is abusing off angles

[green kraken]

Yeah off angles are basically the way to win in most games

[mental ridge]

be better by beeing smarter and faster

[green kraken]

Entire classes are built on off angles in some

Like overwatch with dps

[mental ridge]

nah id say 60%

i see quiet alot of mnk players

[green kraken]

The only game I can think of where you don't have to rely on off angles as much and you can just use pure mechanics is team fortress 2

[sonic marlin]

If you use off angles on cs too much your getting 1 tapped

[ornate gorge]

the guy who has 20 years of cs experience

is it really an off angle to him

[green kraken]

That just means you're being too predictable with them

[sonic marlin]

You can use any off angle on that game if you use them too many times against good players your getting tapped

alot of high level players learn common and off angles

[green kraken]

That's just because predictability

Like it's said right there

[spice jungle]

Broo @sonic marlin what the

Hahaha

Its a random playlist

Its a banger song tho

[sonic marlin]

Anyone know this dude

I forgot when i added bro

[rotund rivet]

my alt looks so good today

for obvious reasons, no clue

[bright elm]

average apex player

[spice jungle]

💀

[bright elm]

going from 1.2 to 1.7 and im alr aiming better

i think my arm is just too slow

[spice jungle]

1600dpi?

[bright elm]

nah 800

[spice jungle]

wern u on 0.6 like a few days ago lol

ohhhhhh

[bright elm]

been on .6 for like a month now

[spice jungle]

im on 0.83 1600dpi and somehow aim and track better then 0.6 i dont get it anymore

[bright elm]

less moving arm

[sonic marlin]

My arms are weak now

[bright elm]

my one gripe with low sens

[spice jungle]

ik but wouldnt faster cm/360 mean less mouse control and more tension which would mean less tracking ability?

[sonic marlin]

Tracking easier on higher sens

[bright elm]

if u have the mouse control, high sens is easier to track

than low sens

[spice jungle]

i found 0.5 like aimbot actually. just i couldnt keep up with an octane stim

or 0.45

• no movement lol

[bright elm]

and there's only added tension if u have to compensate for ur underdeveloped mouse control

[spice jungle]

my friend crutches raw accel and its annoying

i kinda wanna use it ngl. being able to use a 2.0 sens but track with a 0.5 sens seems nice

(ive used it before but fucks with ur raw aim)

[sonic marlin]

Accel be like

[sonic marlin]

It doesnt really

It does when you use it for hundreds of hours

[twilit flicker]

change the curve

and then it wont fk u up

[spice jungle]

or higher settings

i basically played on 1600 4 sens, and then had it slow to 0.6 sens on slow curve

[sonic marlin]

Not really

[spice jungle]

tell me how thats normal, you get used to crutching on it for no mouse control cause you dont need mouse control with it

[sonic marlin]

If you find an acutal curve that isnt insane then it wont fuck up

[spice jungle]

yeah mine was nutty

[sonic marlin]

You still need mouse control to make use of it properly

[spice jungle]

i mean you do, but not as if you were only playing on the highest sens is my point

say 5 sens 1600 is uncontrollable. vs 5 sens that slows to 0.6 when moving mouse at x and y speed, which takes control but considerably less then moving at x and y speed without acceleration and the x and y zero point, where it stays at 0.6 until you move your mouse a certain speed

[sonic marlin]

No-one would use 5 sens on apex in the first place

[spice jungle]

i used 4 1600 for movement, its decent

but aim is uncontrollable

[empty thistle]

0.6 1600 feels great to me, it's like I dont even need to think about smoothness cuz it becomes so easy, only need to focus on reactivity

[sonic marlin]

You should not be using that high

[spice jungle]

honestly the perfect sens imo

[spice jungle]

yeah but with raw accel, i wasnt technically using 4

i was using 0.6, with camera speed at 4. if i was in a fight, i was at 0.6 unless swiping

[sonic marlin]

You shouldnt even have that as a setting in raw accel either

[spice jungle]

mouse sens 4 in game, raw accel 0.07 curve, 0.5 sens multiper. so 800 dpi, not 1600. i think it was 2.559 on the other setting, and 8 on the deadzone

so techincally 800 dpi 4 sens

[sonic marlin]

Yup way too high in raw accel

[spice jungle]

perfect for me and my mouse control tbh

[sonic marlin]

This is a somewhat normal curve

[spice jungle]

https://streamable.com/5eeus1 i wanna say i hit this with raw accel? i forget

[sonic marlin]

I think im close to 100 hours nearl using accel

[spice jungle]

nvm was this one https://streamable.com/o1r0sq

4.0 sens

[sonic marlin]

My accel just looks like im on roller

[spice jungle]

mines opposite, i think u did the slow sens -> high sens option prolly

or idk i followed a guide on yt lol, but i dont use it anyways, prefer raw aim

[sonic marlin]

I go from 1.2 sens to 0.6 800 dpi

to 2 sens 1600

[spice jungle]

yeah thats good/normal ranges. wont fk with ur aim

[sonic marlin]

Ik

I help people setup raw accel and find settings for them lol

[spice jungle]

on ur curve, drop the point to 0.2, drag it to 15 on the bottom one. drag the second point to 1.7 ish and to 20, and third point parallel with second point, at 100. bump in game sens to 2.0 and try that

thats what id use on custom curve (i have pro version)

maybe in game sens to 2.0

[sonic marlin]

Nah

This isnt even my apex curve

[spice jungle]

im js, those were my setings if u did wanna try, but itl prolly mess with ur raw aim. did with mine

team 20 vc?

[sonic marlin]

Sure

[spice jungle]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2HvKhN-O-Ac @sonic marlin

@twilit flicker u prolly know the answer ^^ how with obsidian dots

lol

[twilit flicker]

its good for glass

[spice jungle]

idk how it spins so much

[torn oyster]

sbmm is insane

[rotund rivet]

How many hours do you have on apex

Aren't those like early season pred badges

[subtle radish]

what if u use glass mouspad with glass skates?

[wary star]

what software is this

looks like rawaccel

Custom curve

[dire abyss]

do you guys know when apex patches niormally happen

[wary star]

tuesdays NA timezone

[naive salmon]

guys

lets rank!

[raven hull]

Id assume its some time after the current event ends, check the store and see how long is left on the molten event and it will be just after that expires

[dire abyss]

the evnt has been gone

oh nvm

tyty

[mental ridge]

Tuesday 6 or 7 pm cest

[mortal hatch]

u got Wooting 60HE

that's insane

[bright elm]

im accepting the fact that if i see a team with rampart caustic chilling on a roof top with only two entry points

i just leave them alone and find another team

it's like im fighting malenia

from elden ring

[steep root]

How long would pub ques be without cross input

[bright elm]

who knows lol

[bright elm]

it's like im just playing against a bunch of monkeys

impossible to isolate 1v1's

because they're holding each other dicks all the time

how is this fucking fun

[naive salmon]

hey

language

[bright elm]

🤓

[naive salmon]

[bright elm]

but nah seriously

[naive salmon]

nah facts

[bright elm]

unless i get a knock from like 100 meters away with r301

it's impossible to isolate 1v1's

it's unreal

[naive salmon]

i have not had a real game of ranked

for like 2 weeks

[bright elm]

ranked is a joke

[naive salmon]

soloq makes me want to rip my fucking eyes out

[bright elm]

my kd rn is like a 1.2

or smth like that

close to negative

this season

[naive salmon]

im rockin a solid

[bright elm]

nice

[wintry cypress]

lmaoo

prob some 12 year old

[spice jungle]

lool i was not having it last night, i was jus tired asf

[mental ridge]

play maggie and roast them

[toxic magnet]

sadly nades are best option in a situation like this

[empty thistle]

Opinions on “if you wanna be a pred level player, you need at-least VT Masters level mouse control”?

[bright elm]

nah

u can have diamond and ur chilling

lol

[empty thistle]

You think ? I feel like a big part of how pros just tdm diamond lobbies this season is 1 clipping everyone they see

[bright elm]

i mean i hit masters back in season 8 or whatever

and i was like plat/diamond

in the voltaic season 3 benchmarks

was pretty close to pred but it took too much grinding

[empty thistle]

Idk what it was like in s8

But the gap between masters the past 10 seasons and legit preds this season is gigantic

Feels like the same gap between a gold/plat and immortal player in valorant

I’m bouncing around in mid D4 rn which is top 0.7%. The top 300 preds just make me look like a bot man, I get lasered so fast

Then I see pros dropping 2-4kd on r5r and I’m on a 1.2. Makes me think yeah maybe I’m just mechanics diff’d

[bright elm]

i mean yes but you don't need to be voltaic masters

to have really insane aim

lol

[rotund rivet]

true

[bright elm]

better yet you don't even need to get ranked on the benchmarks

to have good mouse control

[rotund rivet]

if you're not KD oriented ranked isn't that hard

like getting dia/masters by playing zone and only going for kills via 3rd party or for favourable positioning works

[empty thistle]

Masters this season is the top 0.1%

I wanna be able to soloq in diamond without feeling like I’m about to get my butt pummelled by these triple pred stacks

[bright elm]

if you think hitting voltaic masters will help you in apex

go for it

[rotund rivet]

majority of masters/pred are not legit though

[bright elm]

im telling you right now

it will not make a difference

[rotund rivet]

shouldn't you focus more on mouse control/smoothness than the benchmarks

[empty thistle]

Idk maybe I’m better exclusively playing r5r

[bright elm]

im not sure what else you want me to say

because i know what im saying is not the answer you're looking for

[rotund rivet]

cause in any fps grinding it out and being good at it works

[bright elm]

yeah like grinding benchmarks isn't a good way to aim train at all

[rotund rivet]

diamond is decent though

[empty thistle]

Are you saying aim isn’t the difference or grinding the benches isn’t the way to bridge the difference though?

[rotund rivet]

im barely platinum on the benchmarks

[bright elm]

grinding the benches

isn't the way to bridge it

because you asked if you can hit pred if you hit voltaic masters

which is not the case at all

lmao

[rotund rivet]

god no

if you look at the average playtime of the high ranks its what minimum 6 hours daily...

so its more of what are you doing with your time

what's the meta ranked comp this season btw

im thinking of just running conduit to get to 1k kills on my filipina tita

[empty thistle]

So you think maybe pureG apex routine is better? Or something else

Rev conduit flex

[bright elm]

well before mid season patch, it was revenant, conduit, + 1 depending on map

[bright elm]

do you know the scenarios

[empty thistle]

Na

[bright elm]

then just play pureg ig

[empty thistle]

Just heard it’s a good routine for apex

[bright elm]

it's better to just play scenarios that you know will help you with ur weaknesses in game

amongst other things

[empty thistle]

Okay thanks

[bright elm]

like a solid 30 minutes to an hour max

set a timer

[rotund rivet]

I know dazs stairway 1v1 helped me when I was new to apex running it 10 times helped me

[bright elm]

play kovaaks for that long

log off

[empty thistle]

Only 30 if I’m gonna play r5r also?

[bright elm]

if ur also playing r5

yes

you don't want to be playing kovaaks for too long

[empty thistle]

I’ll take a look thanks

[bright elm]

the only people spending more than an hour on kovaaks are the benchmark grinders

or people who main aimtrainers

[rotund rivet]

its more for newbies but it helped

[rotund rivet]

still cant imagine people doing over 4 hours daily 💀

[empty thistle]

This split kinda wild tbh, mid d4 would’ve been high masters last season percentiles wise

[rotund rivet]

dont fixate too much on rank its not worth it in my opinion

[bright elm]

yea

• diamond and up is just full of cheaters rn

so the integrity of ranked is in the bucket

a bunch of wallers

and they're all playing conduit rev too

[empty thistle]

time to cope that im stuck diamond due to cheaters then /s

[rotund rivet]

valid cope.

[torn oyster]

closing in on 9000

[rotund rivet]

i thank you for the reply. damn that is crazy

[torn oyster]

as much as I want to stop and move on.
nothing feels like apex does

[rotund rivet]

any aim labs or kovaaks scenarios that helped?

I know how you feel, the dopamine and serotonin spike you get from winning in the game you enjoy hits different

[slim tulip]

Stretched vs native res ? any opinions?

[bright elm]

stretched

1728x1080

[sonic marlin]

I've always used stretched

But have beaming people on native recently so

[slim tulip]

ur using CRU ?

for the stretch?

[bright elm]

yea i did

[slim tulip]

any good guides on this?

a guide you can recommend?

[bright elm]

yeah i can send u one in a bit

[spice jungle]

@bright elm yo

[bright elm]

hello

[spice jungle]

how do i jump like from silver - gold - diamond - etc etc? getting stuck on progressing fast i guess. im progressing but want daily if not hourly improvements if thats possible lol

[bright elm]

hourly improvements aint possible

since learning also takes place while u sleep

[spice jungle]

ahh tru tru

[bright elm]

usually happens on a daily basis

but one suggestion i can make is to reflect after every run the obvious mistakes ur making

whether its the amount of tension in your hand

ur shaky

ur not really reacting but predicting instead

etc

thats what i do

as long as ur aware of the mistake and u try to NOT repeat it in future runs, you'll improve

like it took me 100 hours just to get to diamond complete

[spice jungle]

this is also my issue. i recently bumped up my sens. 0.6 to 1.0 to work on mouse tension and control (figured if i could master a fast sense, i could really really control a slower sense). am i going aboiut this the right way? maybe not 1.0, but 0.8 - 0.9

[bright elm]

long process but its doable

[bright elm]

yes

[spice jungle]

but im shaking alot

[bright elm]

i was a low sens andy before aim training

and when i started aim training

i played 30cm

which is like 0.85 apex

[spice jungle]

yeah thats my normal sens rn

[bright elm]

i was also shaky

its normal to be shaky

[spice jungle]

im more shaky in kovaaks then apex tbh is the weird part. prolly cause game is a bit off

[bright elm]

u just smoothen it out as you develop the motor control of ur phalangeal muscles and wrist

what i did was play a brief smoothness routine i made

then played fundamentals and/or another specific playlist

[sonic marlin]

Tension control

[bright elm]

more like not being used to using your finger and wrist muscles to track

[sonic marlin]

Shakiness can come down to tension control too

Ik for me it's the only reason I get shaky aim in certain situations

[empty thistle]

should I practice on eu or na r5r u think?

im eu and get like 30 ping there vs 110 on na

the eu playerbase just seems alot worse tho so its worse practice? idk

[sonic marlin]

Play Na ngl

[bright elm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjH1bhm6c8I&t=606s

@slim tulip

[balmy valve]

can i use autoexec in R5 ?

[spice jungle]

broo

lockdown sounds like a sick gamemode

[balmy valve]

nvm i found it

[bright elm]

yo

should i spend

$50

for the 100 apex packs

50% off

[balmy valve]

no

[bright elm]

sounds like a deal

ngl

:D

[balmy valve]

EA dont deserve any money

[bright elm]

true

but heirloom...

[balmy valve]

are you close of the pity ?

[bright elm]

i mean

i think?

pretty sure i opened at least

200-300 packs

haven'

haven't been counting

unfortunately

[balmy valve]

you can always use the pack calculator if you have a good memory

[spice jungle]

@bright elm is it bad that obsidians feel to fast for me lol

idk what to do at this point, lower sens?

newly installed, first time using obsdians

[bright elm]

u can prolly lower sens

but i usually just stick with the sens

im using

[sonic marlin]

Break them in

[spice jungle]

they feel slippery? almost idk. i thought theyd have more control to them ig. i think im used to tiger ice v2's and renn sport v2's, maybe lower quality? feet idk if thats a bad thing LOL

they feel good tho, like better in a way, just faster

[spice jungle]

got yu

[sonic marlin]

They should feel slower than tiger ices

[bright elm]

but yea

what tilt says

[spice jungle]

nah these things are flying like jades rn. maybe i need to break them in. idk why

[bright elm]

most mouse skates feel better once broken in

[spice jungle]

idk

not that this shows anything lol

but they just feel "floaty" think i need to break them in for sure

i just installed them last night and didnt play so

[sonic marlin]

Yeah I dont know my obsidian ain't do that

[spice jungle]

and this is a control glass pad

[torn oyster]

any new skates need a quick break in period

[radiant ridge]

is the break-in period longer for cloth?

[torn oyster]

I'd argue there's difference in wear period on pad/how often used/how heavy handed you are.

what you do to wear it down

on brand new skates I like to rub them against the skypad for a few seconds.
give it a couple spins

start the process a bit quicker.
wouldn't recommend it's just what I do

[radiant ridge]

word, i don't see any wear on my skates but they're only about a week old

figured cloth has minimal wear anyway

[torn oyster]

you won't until you see consistency in use over prolonged periods

[thorn swallow]

apex exposing my true ranked they reset s6-14

[torn oyster]

console to pc
or pc to console?

[arctic violet]

servers unplayable for a event update

common ea

[crude axle]

anyone getting this after update?

[wintry cypress]

Code clog 😭

Never seen that one before

[little verge]

Because they couldn't call it code: shitter's full

[wintry cypress]

🤣

We cant hire plumbers cause we spent all the money on lambos

10 man dev team gotta be rich by now

[arctic violet]

kicked out from the game for 1mb update😂

[golden sphinx]

forgot new apex update rolled out today

[torn oyster]

almost 6000 hours on steam...

you can have two drones for a few seconds with lifeline perk and gold helm

lifeline meta until patched

[spice jungle]

@mental ridge could 1 1 3 grip be causeing my tracking on right side wraist and tension to be shakier then right?

[wintry cypress]

Have u gone insane yet?

[torn oyster]

5999hrs ago

also steam update day. why did i close apex

[main panther]

what do yall use for aim training apex? r5/range/aimlabs/kovaaks?

[wintry cypress]

R5 + kovaaks

Some range if i need to practice recoil

[spice jungle]

servers still unplayable? i cant connect on steam

[raven hull]

Anyone elses breakout challenges reset?

[arctic violet]

ranked are alright tdm ecc. freeze while playing a lot

[spice jungle]

mine did

[golden sphinx]

mine are fine

[spice jungle]

https://streamable.com/rj4yme any ideas anyone? grip stuff

[mental ridge]

idk no idea at all

[frail kiln]

idk but I feel like when I switched to 1 1 3 I fucked my aim permanently

[mental ridge]

bro

were talking about 113 and not 1 3 1

big difference

[frail kiln]

Im being dumb

yeah 1 3 1 is what I meant

[spice jungle]

https://streamable.com/l8ye2g dude idk shot was hitting tho tn

liking these obsidians 😄

[sonic marlin]

That dude think all that movement gonna save him or something

[spice jungle]

hes actually really good, they r5 alot i guess. was all in fun, i was just hitting some nutty shots

[sonic marlin]

People that do unnecessary movement like that get shit on in real games just saying

[spice jungle]

vdim has been helping out for me in real games 😄 and 1v1s, but i still cant movement for shit :<

[sonic marlin]

Don't need no movement

Most you need is superlide for real matches

[torn oyster]

they fixed it \o/

[mental ridge]

all my master badges gone

and my founders badge

[torn oyster]

they know about it and are fixing it

[rotund rivet]

if anything its just exposing my real rank

[torn oyster]

new ltm is...not awful

[wary star]

you are overthinking a lot LOL

[half salmon]

fr just aim its not that deep 😭

[torn oyster]

oo broken moon is back

[wary star]

do you adderall or someshit

why is your hand so shakey

[feral merlin]

apex is not my main game so I usually just do a 10 min warmup routine on aimlabs

but if it were I would spam the shit out of r5

2-3 hours a day like cs ffa

[indigo ruin]

Is this what I'ma have to do to hit GM one day? Play aimlabs for 3 hours straight

[bright elm]

spamming r5 to hit voltaic gm? lol no

u just play kovaaks or aimlabs

to hit gm

[half salmon]

play kovaaks like its osu

and ull hit gm

(grind benches)

[indigo ruin]

I had to stop playing OSU I felt like it was making me aim worse lmao

[bright elm]

probably the worst way to develop mouse control but it could work

[indigo ruin]

Replied to the wrong person

[half salmon]

kovaaks is literally rebranded osu

[indigo ruin]

Yeah but in OSU I feel inclined to keep in pace with the beat which makes me rush lol

[mental ridge]

@spice jungle can u put your palms flat on your mousepad the way u sit ?

like instead of holding your mouse

coz if i have my elbos tucked in i cant

thats why i flare them out a bit

[indigo ruin]

Don't focus on how someone else sits. Sit the way that's most comfortable to you. I used to have this problem of hyper focusing on the small stuff and it made me play bad

[mental ridge]

thats what he does i feel like

[mental ridge]

he tucks in his elbow so much that he cant propperly rotate his wrist so the palm is parallel to the table and thus he has a wierd grip thats effectively 1 1 3

[feral merlin]

1 1 3?

wtf is that

[mental ridge]

middle finger on the edge of m2 and the side

[lusty elk]

Secret lan and xset+optic didn't qual

Feels bad

[raven hull]

Thats it im getting custom anime ui and osu noises for my kvks

that will make it feel more like osu

[lusty elk]

[mental ridge]

gimme

[mental ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/geonosian-cis-roblox-gif-25112698

[spice jungle]

yeah

[spice jungle]

yeah im just thinking of it too hard, oh wells. ima just play the way i play ig

[mental ridge]

is it uncomfortable coz u said that u cant 1 3 1 coz your ring has trouble lifting of m2 meaning that your wrist aint rotated enought to have your knuckles parallel to the top of the mouse as in index knuckle is further away from the table than ring knuckle

[spice jungle]

i see

[mental ridge]

like youd be better of with a ergo mouse where m1 is higher than m2

or your change the angle of your upper arm from straight down 90° to something like 80° or 70° for example so your knuckles are more parallel to the table / mouse

[spice jungle]

if i correct my arm position it feels better

like makes it so i play 1 2 2

as well

[mental ridge]

oh like have a gap between elbow and waist ?

[spice jungle]

just not used to it, im used to bending my elbow inward almost

[mental ridge]

yeah just lower your chair / raise your desk

[spice jungle]

i actually had to just extent my elbow more outwards, kinda like hooking it in a way, but feels more natural this way, il show

[mental ridge]

like everything between upper arm vertical to upper horizontal is played by some person there is this one tac shooter pro that has the desk on chest height and his upper arm is basically parallel to the desk

[mental ridge]

yeah thats exactly what i mean

[spice jungle]

before, vs after

idk if u can see the difference but yeh

[mental ridge]

u can play around with that angle you flare out your upper arm

find the sweetspot between agility and stability

[spice jungle]

funny my grip somehow was fixed too

[spice jungle]

@mental ridge 🔥

[mental ridge]

now try 1 3 1

[sonic marlin]

tf is 1 3 1

[mental ridge]

index m1 middle m3 ring m2

[sonic marlin]

[mental ridge]

whats aoi

[spice jungle]

idk tbh thought ud kno

[mental ridge]

idk shit about aimtrainers

[spice jungle]

bruh whats up with this capture time. people really dont be playing obj, its like cod all over again

[mental ridge]

we need a propper cod like mode in apex

tdm doesn't work since the maps aint good

[spice jungle]

tru tru

we need a search and destroy

imagineeeeee

with comms enabled and trash talking and everything. good old cod days

[mental ridge]

we just need a good casual mode that doesn't cater towards people who camp all game long

i dont wanna have to worry about campers

[spice jungle]

ahh domination? permanent 3 flags, 2 spawns, can spawn trap like good old rust and nuketown. go for big 100 kill games, stuff like that

[spice jungle]

dude im so hyped for my custom pad, gonna take a while i think to make and come in tho

[mental ridge]

my skypad004 comes today

and my mo001

[spice jungle]

noice, the wallhack is really good

bro

i took some meds

and i was tripping so hard i thought an apex bot in the firing range was shooting at me @mental ridge help

[normal gust]

anyone wanna play apex ??

[clever widget]

Am looking to find a new friend to play apex with someone from SEA servers. If anyone is interested dm plz

[bright elm]

respawn did not get the memo

that no one wants to do 20 ring closures on a single legend

[twilit flicker]

atleast its a goated legend now

rampart was so boring

[bright elm]

yeah

but holy fuck

most of my pub games

end in the 2nd ring

so i only get like 1-2 per game

[mortal hatch]

new ltm's pretty fun

[bright elm]

agreed

albeit my first 3 matches

both my teammates left

they just rage quit

[mortal hatch]

gg

mines been aight so far

[torn oyster]

its been done.

after 5 years, 1 month

[mortal hatch]

except for the single instance where the servers were being crazy

[torn oyster]

its so good. only took me 8 packs to get it

[golden sphinx]

nooooooo not again 😭

i swear that challenge is bugged too

[torn oyster]

and now i wait for lifeline mythic skin to use shards on

[golden sphinx]

when i was doing it with rampart i won multiple games and it would only go up by 1

i used my 100 apex coins on one of the event packs and got the one skin i didnt want

[torn oyster]

F

[golden sphinx]

idk why but almost every horizon skin looks ugly af to me

[torn oyster]

bought 8, crafted 4

[golden sphinx]

it might just be the pose she is in when u pack em

plus she has the post malone skin which is the best looking skin for her imo

[bright elm]

how did u craft multiple event packs

aren't u limited to 1 a day

[torn oyster]

not through that event

they cost 1600 mats ea

and you only get 1 per week through the point system

kills really mean nothing in this mode. its just cap point.

control with extra steps

[bright elm]

oh shit fr?

where can i craft it

[bright elm]

ahh i see it

ty

[main panther]

Any mouse pad suggestions? Thinking about getting a glass mousepad

[bright elm]

artisan hayate otsu

xsoft or mid

[charred plank]

why we have lost the badges? is there any info about this?

[bright elm]

ranked is actually a joke bro

getting 1 clipped while supergliding tap strafing by level 5 bangalores

[lilac onyx]

fuck me the new mode is dogshit

[wintry cypress]

Whats the new mode

[torn oyster]

control with extra steps

[bright elm]

NA east can't even queue

it's dead

[lilac onyx]

dont fucking blame them im only on it myself cause of the challenges

[spice jungle]

LMAO

[lilac onyx]

respawn devs making an area denial mode and not balancing the area denial champs

so anyone on any champ that isnt a controller just doesnt get to play

[mortal hatch]

you get points for killing ppl

[wintry cypress]

Goddamnit 😭

[wintry cypress]

Yeah good luck playing any sort of fun legend

I mean if youre good its no problem

But controller legends are just superior regardless

[torn oyster]

17 kills and trying to cap still doesnt win le game

[wintry cypress]

Nop

[bright elm]

kills give you jack

unless you get the kills while capping

[mortal hatch]

this is what I’ve been doing so mayb

[bright elm]

yea

getting kills off the point

is only like

1/500

[mortal hatch]

pain

[bright elm]

it's insignificant

[mortal hatch]

i lost a game tho to kills

held a point

but other team that was close just killed everyone else

guess i suck

[bright elm]

doesn't feel as bad as getting one clipped or headshotted by a sentinel while moving at the speed of light

in rankede

half the players i watch after dying legit have the most bot movement

but aim of a god

which makes me think they're using a cronus

[mortal hatch]

gg go next

the everyday apac experience is seeping into other regions

rough

[warped lake]

anyone wanna play customs with me, need 2

[thorn swallow]

does anyone know why my sens feels like its way faster today

im on 1600dpi .6

[dire abyss]

everytime i go into the event gamemode

some mf have their open mic on

[golden sphinx]

the randoms im getting in ranked legit make me wanna uninstall the game lol

[mental ridge]

they can shoot at you

[golden furnace]

How to find you perfect sence im a hight sence player went I try the aim lab sence fonder ins give me a low one

[half salmon]

there is no perfect sens

just play whatever is comfortable

[mental ridge]

just play with every sense dont hesitate to change it daily in the beginning

based on what u feel like u need

i play 1600 dpi and play 0.6 0.7 0.8 and sometimes 0.9

[golden furnace]

If that is like 3year my sence 7.4 1600 dpie and I dont find a good one cause im à hight sence player idont like when is Slow

[golden furnace]

What you rank ?

And is always to Slow or to fast

[mental ridge]

idk ill probably hit diamond soon if i start playing ranked seriosely and stop throwing coz of ego pushes

[half salmon]

stick with one reasonable sens and learn it

doesnt matter if its "too slow" or "too fast"

u will get used to the sens

[mental ridge]

for reference im on mnk for 5 months

[golden furnace]

Daim

[golden furnace]

Bruh

[mental ridge]

im no good at apex i just play for fun

currently hardstuck plat 2

[golden furnace]

Every one is tellung me to Change and learnd whit a new Slow one

[mental ridge]

give it a try

try like 1 and 1600 dpi

[spice swift]

chqnge sense won’t kill

you

It’ll will help you to play the game differently

and having fun

[golden furnace]

I try 5.07 is was good but not confortable

And I go back 7.4

Because when I play 7.4 is hard playing oder games cause my sence to hight

[spice swift]

you don’t have to play same sense on every game

[golden furnace]

How to be acurate

[golden furnace]

?

[half salmon]

yeah thats my reaction

[arctic violet]

1600dpi 7.4 is 3.5cm wtf

[mighty glacier]

Thats actually high sens

[mighty glacier]

Your sens is huge. U have to get used to lower sens cuz only think about it. U almost dont move your mouse, you have to be nasty on precision meanwhile if u have a low sens you have too much more pad to do the same think which translates in more precision

[arctic violet]

schizo aim😂

[mighty glacier]

The margin of error on high sens is just incredibly higher

[mental ridge]

yes he plays 7x that

[mighty glacier]

So maybe u will struggle a bit when change sens but since u get used to it, u will become better

[mental ridge]

how many cm do u move your mouse for a 360?

@golden furnace try a sense where u need to aim with your arm and learn how to aim with your arm

[mental ridge]

the dude plays apparently 1600dpi and the default 5.0 sense is ti slow for him

[spice swift]

learn how to properly use your hand

[mental ridge]

u got a whole arm learn to use the whole arm

[regal rose]

just tear ya arm off and aim with it

[rotund rivet]

Is this survive 20 ring closings thing gonna be normal i hate it

[spice swift]

yep probably

[mental ridge]

thank god i main maggie atm

sadly i need to 3stack now

[rotund rivet]

this game just seems to enjoy spiting me

[mental ridge]

get a wallhack

[bright elm]

5.07 IS NOT SLOW

guaranteed you sneeze and ur camera does a 360 around your character

[raven hull]

3.5cm 360

you have to be trolling

[bright elm]

i think it's better if you switch to roller

ngl

[raven hull]

that aint much better lol

@golden furnace can you show us some gameplay of you on that sens

im super interested to see how it looks

[visual bluff]

anything faster than 16cm/6in for 360 is just too fast straight up
unless ur like a 1 in a billion kinda person

[raven hull]

I honestly feel a sens like that could actually cause you damage, because theres no way you can play without constant tension to move so precisely

[visual bluff]

yea

[raven hull]

a 180 is 1.75 cm, 90 0.875cm

45 0.4cm like HOW

aint no way you are mm precise unless you are an escaped lab experiment.

[visual bluff]

a lot of ppl that play really fast sens have like tiny mouse pad so playing slower sens is impossible
i remember when i was a kid thats what happened to me

[raven hull]

yeah i have a friend who has a small desk and small mouse pad, his sens was like 16cm, but we forced him into something better and he had to just get used to resetting more often

but it worked out better for him as he could actually track stuff

3cm is wild tho, is his mousepad a Coin or something

a postit note?

[bright elm]

it's because he's aimbotting

he doesn't need to aim precisely

[raven hull]

I mean if hes aimbotting and asking us how to get better at aiming then something has gone horribly wrong

[bright elm]

[rotund rivet]

became conscious and checked mine. I'm not that horrible then at 32.47cm/360 ahahaha

0.8 at 1600 dpi

[raven hull]

thats fine, i float between 32-40 typically. Rn im at 35

[wintry cypress]

Dont worry hes just using the aimbot to see how to aim to improve his natural aim

[raven hull]

People say learn from the best, and you cant get much better than Aimbot

[rotund rivet]

New tracking technique? Hahaha

[golden furnace]

yes

[spice jungle]

he could be using raw accel with that sens as well

[golden furnace]

7,4 on 1600 dpi mouse 75g

[raven hull]

Crackhead gaming right there

[wintry cypress]

i mean

i have a friend in kovaaks that plays on 5-10cm

[mental ridge]

stop shooting at still standing dummies

[wintry cypress]

and he has a couple scores that are better than mine

like he straight up has GM scores

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkcyRSRnCcI

like this is crazy lol

[raven hull]

some people are built diff i guess. But that gameplay is so twitchy and leaves very little room for consistency. like at the start the 180's were all over the place. I dont know if that was just you throwing your mouse around, or i guess with a 3cm it could have been a sneeze.

[wintry cypress]

yeah very true

consistency is almost non existent at those sensitivies i feel like

[bright elm]

bots are standing still

lol.

[raven hull]

i just meant the camera movements lol

@golden furnace can we see some actual gameplay, like a TDM or Control. Just something thats not static firing range bots to get an idea of how useable that sens really is.

even in that clip it looked like everything was uncontrollable for you, not a single mouse movement you made felt intentional or purposeful, they felt like the result of a hand spasm with how twitchy they looked.

Is your mouse pad just insanely small or do you just choose to not use any more space?

[spice jungle]

i guess we just becoming crack heads out here? on glasspad too btw lol https://streamable.com/qfsi2f

(all jokes)

[raven hull]

ballistic with parkinsons Pov

[spice jungle]

i even rendered it in 24 fps so you couldnt see my shakes LMAO

[raven hull]

lol

[arctic violet]

he have a yt channel linked

[raven hull]

where?

am i blind

((probably))

[arctic violet]

discord account

anyway 3cm isn't usable come on, u fuck up ur wrist for literally no reason and 0 improvement😂

[raven hull]

newest vid was a year ago and it doesnt say what he was using back then. The video just gets stuck loading for me so i cant even see what it looked like lol

[green kraken]

I used to use 1200 .9 then I realized that it's so much slower then 1.5 800 that it's nearly impossible to track anything with it 💀

[raven hull]

I mentioned this earlier, its definately going to cause wrist problems for literally no gain, Infact he would be able to prolong his wrist and get more consistent and purposeful aim if he used sub 1 sens

[twilit flicker]

38 cm slow?

[arctic violet]

weird perception of slow and fast here

[green kraken]

It was for me

But it's preference really

[golden furnace]

this is some clip of me

im to bad for this game i shoud uninstall

[raven hull]

i feel like the issues with your sens should be painfully clear after watching that back.

[raven hull]

you came to the wrong place for pitty if thats the case.

you should really just try playing at something under 1 sens

it will feel horrible at first because you are so used to this but give it a few hours/ days and it will feel more natural

[mental ridge]

no maybe just play a sense where u gotta move your whole arm to aim

why play only with your fingertips

[golden furnace]

it's a joke

[mental ridge]

when u have a arm a wrist and finger tips use them all 3

play a sense under 1

[golden furnace]

because my arm is sleeping on the table and my finger do everything

[golden furnace]

under 1 ? 😱

[mental ridge]

u can see in your clips how u struggle to stay close to the enemie because the sense is so high that the slightest fingertip mistake has a huge negative impact

[mental ridge]

like every other human beeing

[golden furnace]

all humain do that frl how faide do to be that fast ?

[mental ridge]

fast arm

[golden furnace]

LIKE IN A REAL FIGHT

[mental ridge]

yes he has a sense of 0.8 and 1700dpi

[golden furnace]

frl i al ways tinks is was on like 4 or 5

[raven hull]

nah, hes just so used to his movements that he can do that quickly

[mental ridge]

nah

[mental ridge]

and his aim is twitchy and inconcistant despite his immense playtime

[raven hull]

He plays a flashy style that looks good in videos but isnt that good against players who arent complete bots

which is why you dont really see him in ranked

[golden furnace]

nah he has a good aim

[raven hull]

hes a classic example of a pubstomper

[golden furnace]

what is that

[raven hull]

just someone who runs pubs all day killing pretty mid players for clips

[golden furnace]

ohhhhh

[raven hull]

its by no means bad, its probably extremely enjoyable for him because the games arent serious and he can mess around and talk to chat

but his style of play doesnt transition into ranked very well, especially at the level the other content creators or Pro players play at.

[golden furnace]

me i just want to be good on a video game and have a incredible aim why hihgt sence and do a 360 whit a good target switch

[raven hull]

to target switch someone whos 45degrees from your crosshair is a 0.43mm movement, Thats not something that can be consistent im afraid

[golden furnace]

but he is mastger now ?

[raven hull]

if you genuinely want to get better you need to drastically change your sens.

[raven hull]

Yeah that seems about right. As i said hes not bad, but his style of play isnt suited to ranked. He can get masters sure, but he wont stay grinding ranked because it doesnt fit him.

[wintry cypress]

yeah even the smallest adjustment sent his aim flying like 3m past his target

goddamn

[golden furnace]

like when is around 0 and 1 in not able to play is to slow

[raven hull]

its going to take some adjustment, you wont be able to play right away but give it some time and it will definitely help.

for reference im playing 1600dpi 0.74

[golden furnace]

thanks bro you a good one

[little verge]

Yeah you definitely gotta drop your sens by a good margin. A lot of times while trying to track you just move huge chunks at a time, and you developed some bad habits like flicking onto target and then back off with the Eva instead of just tracking.

Lower sens will feel awkward at first but you'll see a huge benefit over time.

[charred plank]

agree

[spice jungle]

[dire abyss]

i need them to remove broken moon

[golden furnace]

moove to 7,4 to 3,7 is good ?

[mental ridge]

TRAINING ITS ALL TRAINING

[arctic violet]

nope

[spice jungle]

@mental ridge doing better, still got a weird ass grip but better arm position, and using more of my pad so. shitty clip target switch but w/e https://streamable.com/c5ku0d

[golden furnace]

frl

and 2,4?

[wary star]

what a beast

send more videos

[arctic violet]

anything above 1.0 is not viable as the others already told u

[twilit flicker]

PLEASE lower your sens

that looks terrible

[arctic violet]

even 1.0 1600dpi is considered "fast" but not ridiculous fast like the one u use rn

[lilac onyx]

i used to play 1.0 3200 lmao

it was manageable for a bit

its on 1.0 1600 now

apparently not

0.75 1600

[wintry cypress]

1.0 1600 is manageable at least

thats what

25cm?

[lilac onyx]

yeah

[wintry cypress]

ive played on 20cm before its doable

[lilac onyx]

the fastest ive ever played was 13cm

not for apex tho

the slowest is like 75cm

[wintry cypress]

my slowest ive ever tried playing an fps game on is 80cm

slowest ive used for a longer period of time is 70cm

[lilac onyx]

actually i was wrong it was 90cm

that was hell

but one frame flicks are v funny

still dont think my wrist has recovered though lmao

[arctic violet]

gl for ur wrist 😂

[lilac onyx]

it was fineeeee

i was hard movement player and i can track well on fast

i just never picked up a shotgun
