apex

[bright elm]

i couldn't knock more than like 1-2 before going down to 1 hp

[radiant ridge]

one day i'll stop being tilted spectating the guy who killed me standing over my box not moving at all for 15 seconds, the slow ticks of looting

[bright elm]

just insta leave

that's how i usually not get tilted

[radiant ridge]

ranked

[bright elm]

oh in ranked

lol just immediately go on ur phone or smth

the moment i get finished, i just go on tiktok

or smth

"Nothings wrong with controller, bro"
-the guy on my team with a console icon next to his name yesterday

[radiant ridge]

it's just wildly demoralizing to know that a decent or good controller player just trumps a vast majority of mnk players

shit sucks

[radiant ridge]

five bucks he doesn't turn on 120 fps

[alpine trail]

I'd bet my car on it.

like

ofc he doesn't

[radiant ridge]

iirc aim assist is frame-based, so they really should use 120

[alpine trail]

really now?

that's interesting...

tell me more

i've actually never heard of such a thing

[radiant ridge]

it's why 0.4 is "stronger" than console

[alpine trail]

...now that you say that, the pc players do seem to be doing better than the console kids.

well shit

[radiant ridge]

because 0.4 aim assist at 200-300fps is just shockingly better

not to mention how much input lag some tvs have

[alpine trail]

that's also true...

like my first monitor was for fighting games and even that difference was noticable between the monitor and tvs

[radiant ridge]

it's even funnier that a lot of the pc controler players for apex, cod, etc. are using ds4 to set their polling rates to 1000hz

[alpine trail]

what is a ds4? is it some software?

[bright elm]

dualshock 4

[alpine trail]

I'm gonna ask the Google

[bright elm]

it's basically just the ps4 controller

[alpine trail]

oh

[bright elm]

but yo

the op1 is giving me aimbot

or some shit

[radiant ridge]

DS4Windows - it's a utility that lets you use ps4 ps5 controllers on windows since i guess there's no native support

[bright elm]

aim feels better and more consistent than with the lamzu atlantis mini

[bright elm]

yea i use it for red dead

its dope

[radiant ridge]

i've read the op1 hype - is it combination of polling rate + better sensor?

[bright elm]

nah i didn't get the 8l

8k

it's not in stock in canada

i got the 1k

[radiant ridge]

word

[bright elm]

im pretty sure it's just the shape

and the fact that it has an actual coating

[radiant ridge]

it's not just the xm1 shape right?

[bright elm]

unlike the lamzu atlantis with its raw ass plastic

[bright elm]

no

[alpine trail]

im gonna be real with you, that was the one and i dont consider it real. Im not even saying i cant rank beyond gold, but every ssn after i got that badge i have

[bright elm]

it's a lot smaller

[radiant ridge]

oh

i really loved the xm1, but it was a bit long

[alpine trail]

I have like 200 games per ssn all solo q to gold

after that

[bright elm]

it's similar length to the atlantis mini, but narrower

idk how to describe it

[alpine trail]

1.03 kd on the last? .95 s18?

[bright elm]

but i feels so much better

i feel locked in

[alpine trail]

its not a lot

a lot of good players that have extremely high KD say that it doesn't really matter all that much

[bright elm]

yeah then it doesn't really count

don't beat urself over it

lol

[alpine trail]

Ah, ok

like i have a 1.50ish kd atm but eh

but still man

like i would expect to do better.

im not even looking for advice

if i play w/ someone decent they point it right out

and help me

but like i never get good enough players solo q

[radiant ridge]

tbh my kd is fucking dogshit this season

[alpine trail]

and i go to these cords

and like

they want 3x pred

4x master

3 kd

like

bro

[radiant ridge]

i took me half the games to hit diamond last season and my kd was 1.7

now it's 1.25 and im only in plat 2

fuggin BRUTAL

[alpine trail]

only because you're being gatekept by cheating shitters

nah i'd have went higher than gold

but i cant stand the cheaters

[radiant ridge]

i wish that were the case

[alpine trail]

the sus players

but mostly

mostly

the other ppl

[radiant ridge]

lose five games in a row to teammates who want to hot drop but cant fight -> get 1-3rd for like 200-300rp to make it all back

[alpine trail]

not even like im that good

oh....

im fine

i can fight

[radiant ridge]

solo queue is just straight up a bad time unless you radically out-class everyone

[alpine trail]

yea i cant do that

thats what im rlly saying

im fine

i can solo q and get positve kd

they consider that kind of like an accompishment

but

meh

i cant save u bro

my solo experience is a mixed bag. teammates will drop hot, can't win. goes somewhere and loots all game only to still fall over, teammates will run from every fight after a single moment of engagement.

and that shit too

[radiant ridge]

the accessibility of apex towards controller players draws a lot of interesting types (read: dipshits) that focus on stats

[alpine trail]

like they even run away, just bc i play wraith

or trying to play american sniper chipping away at our meds not realizing the other team has heals too

[alpine trail]

yea i know dude

like just take the fight

they're insane

and commit to it

[alpine trail]

u wanna not commit to those if ur behind em for the same rsn, anyway

like i cannot 1v3

i can 1v2 fine

but the third fucks me over and ppl LITERALLY just do not exist on ur team

when there is a good fight

srry

off topic probs

im 4k in, im gonna be real w/u dude i was new to these games and played a lot last year

so im not good

but i'd like, expect more helpful teamates and better fights, or like anything

and it seems like every ssn just gets worse past s16

i played too much of s17 i think

just for the stupid purple png

[alpine trail]

I meant to include that in my issues with randos. playing long and midrange with sniper rifles and healing in-between just does nothing but runs you both dry on meds. after the gunfight you're left flesh or without cells/batts and then what will happen when you run into the next squad (assuming you aren't being thirded for dragging out the fight for long)

not the idea of committing to a 1v3

lol

they dont really understand any of this

i know what u mean

[alpine trail]

i said it was off topic

but ye

ah

[alpine trail]

i only carry 2 meds, and 4 bats at best at any moment and always have

so its like i avoid these fights greatly in particular

but i push them immediately when i get a knock

unless im TP

you know another one dude?

[bright elm]

you don't carry more?

[alpine trail]

ppl DO NOT KNOW HOW TO THIRD PARTY

[alpine trail]

i will if i can

but usually 4 is the limit

[bright elm]

you always carry like 6 bats, 2 meds, 8 cells

no syringes

with 1-3 nades

and 2-3 stacks of ammo each

[alpine trail]

i carry 4-8 cells

ngl

[arctic violet]

soloq isn't viable in this game and never was, that's it

[alpine trail]

nope

im coming to that conclusion as i get deeper into the time i've spent

i had a cpl friends who were always there when i needed them

but they're gone now

im left like

¯_(ツ)_/¯

all the time

[alpine trail]

you carry 4 syringes if u can

but otherwise like yes, 6 bats w/ purple backpack

[bright elm]

it's a waste

[alpine trail]

meh, i also carry the pheonix and like 1-2 nades

idk.

[bright elm]

when you have 2 med kits and the only time you'll really need to use a syringe is when you get poked after finishing a fight

[alpine trail]

hmmm I've never been good with inventory management. then again I've never been good at anything in this game so hah.

[bright elm]

more shields is a priority

because that's your first line of defense

[radiant ridge]

2 medkits, ditch the syringes, a gorillion batts

[bright elm]

that's what gets depleted first

yeah

in a competitive environment, there shouldn't be a need to use syringes when you have a million bats at your disposal

[alpine trail]

it is but 4 is fine bro even district and shit say it.

[bright elm]

especially with the new changes to the crafting

[radiant ridge]

you heal shields first because if you get pushed, you'll be more likely to die in that 1v1 with the same EHP if you dont have shields

[alpine trail]

its 1 slot

[bright elm]

district

[alpine trail]

oook

[bright elm]

yeah and that slot could be used for 2 more bats

or a grenadd

grenade

which imo is way more important

[radiant ridge]

purple and gold backpacks are hard to come by

[bright elm]

than syringes

[radiant ridge]

its not uncommon to be strapped for inventory space

[alpine trail]

i really dont want to be almost 1 and die but whatever, just focus fire instead

gotchu

[bright elm]

how are you gonna be 1

without syringes

[alpine trail]

yes, ill be dead

[bright elm]

?????

[radiant ridge]

4 syringes == 1 medkit

1 medkit takes one slot

you are basically carrying a single medkit and not utilizing the space

[alpine trail]

nah 2 med for one slot

?

okay then

[radiant ridge]

so instead of 4 syringes + 2 medkits you may as well carry 4 medkits

that's why it's silly

[alpine trail]

if i can find them homie.

[radiant ridge]

you're also not going to lose 200 white health unless you get knocked twice

[alpine trail]

i have on many occasions last rounds

[radiant ridge]

you're always going to get white heals back from finishing fights

[alpine trail]

that's very true...

[radiant ridge]

if anything, the odds of you finishing the fight after using that many white heals and them not having heals is higher

we finish fights fast for a reason: we want more of their ammo and meds. we dont want to be thirded.

[alpine trail]

i don't really play apex a whole lot now days unless I want to see how my aim trainings come along but I'll keep this in mind if I boot up again.

[radiant ridge]

i analyze more than i play

love the game, even if it's punishing as fuck

[alpine trail]

agree.

apex was my first shooter and why i decided to build a pc and start playing mnk. started on console

such a cool game...

i'm gonna buy my first cod soon too!

that's a super difficult one since teammates tend to stick to each other like glue most of the time.

i guess a scenario would be catching them by surprise, knocking one, reposition, try to knock the one trying to stick res and then take the 1v1 i guess?

npnp. go get that 69 kd

[radiant ridge]

depends on who you're playing

i pretty much one trick bangalore. using smokes to isolate angles or split teams. nades to push people away. playing doors. knowing windows/doors/and other peeks into buildings

[alpine trail]

playing doors and buildings def helps.

man. i really wish that i knew headglitches in this game

[frail kiln]

forcing myself to play Caustic

this mf is too fat it ruins my immersion

[radiant ridge]

caustic is one of the most oppressive characters to try to bring a fight to and i hate it so fucking much

[frail kiln]

It genuinely feels impossible sometimes to win in this meta without a Caustic

[wet stratus]

i never thought i would miss catalyst meta until i experience caustic meta

[frail kiln]

Catalyst meta got too much hate for no reason

Seer was always the problem anyways

[alpine trail]

getting advice from high level aimers and players today. i feel like i should get on this evening...

[wary star]

why do you wanna ruin your evening

[radiant ridge]

rewarding high level aiming
apex
pick one

[radiant ridge]

fortified kinda nice if you just straight up force a strafe fight tho

[frail kiln]

why is there a kill cap adjustment

[radiant ridge]

because overperforming doesn't mean anything!!! 🙂

it's also because they don't want to over-encourage kp

but it doesnt fucking do anything

[frail kiln]

yeah but placement is fucking trash

you get literally nothing

for a 5th and KP

this ranked season I'm actually gigahardstuck so I'm just complaining

sorry xDDDD

[radiant ridge]

nah i feel that

[frail kiln]

I just genuinely never knew there was a kill cap adjustment until last game and it caps at fucking 6 LMAO

Ive slingshotted up and down plat like 3 times now

probably skill issue, also soloqing

[radiant ridge]

real talk they should remove kill cap adjustment for solo queue

[frail kiln]

too logical

[alpine trail]

I said that to say that you along with Kristian gave good advice on inv management and I'd be using that info next session.
I might be dumb but I'm not stupid.

[alpine trail]

tekken 8 is already on sale

how is that possible? that fg just dropped.....

[true ravine]

cheaters would farm way more

[radiant ridge]

like it even matters

cheaters farm regardless

[true ravine]

it does

cuz

imagine

cheaters

with no kill cap

would be all preds cheaters in 1 day

banned

new account

pred

again

and again

[simple silo]

And in turn show their hand obviously, not just maphack rat until final circle and kill one / two teams

[true ravine]

the guy that is cheating doesnt care

he'll spoof or create a new account

[quaint karma]

isolated

[vague nexus]

Wear isolation gear, to protect yourelf from electric shock

[tidal verge]

when i hold mouse buttons it makes it very hard to aim because the pressure on the mouse adds a ton friction.

[bright elm]

how hard are you pressing ur mouse buttons

lol wtf

[tidal verge]

enough for it to click

[bright elm]

i think it's just something for you to work on compensating for the added friction

does ur mouse clicks require a lot of pressure

to actuate

[tidal verge]

maybe

[bright elm]

you could look into swapping out the switches to get a lighter actuation

[vague nexus]

Get a nueralink and click the buttons with your mind

[bright elm]

but imo, i would just work on compensating for it

[tidal verge]

yea ok

[bright elm]

ofc you can maybe try stuff like toggling ads

i know HisWattson does do toggling ads

but you're missing out on learning how to manage tension/pressure while aiming

[vague nexus]

You can get a more slippery pad

[tidal verge]

yep

[arctic violet]

no more shaky aim with neuralink🤖

[bright elm]

until you become nervous

[alpine trail]

gigachad

never nervous

[lusty cliff]

hmmm

i forgot how to make fov up to 120 now

how do i do it agian?

[raven hull]

couple ways, could do it via autoexec or edit your profile text document under C:\Users\ yourname \Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\profile and find cl_fovScale and change it to 1.7

[grizzled wren]

tips for getting out of gold?

[lusty cliff]

Alright thx ^^

[raven hull]

I find playing the game with my eyes open tends to help

[raven hull]

pretty layered question, when in the game do you tend to die? Off drop, mid game, end game?

if its end game, do you have KP or have you been hiding the whole time,

etc

[mental ridge]

and play lowsense roller so your ttk is higher so u can shorten gunfights

[alpine trail]

hover your mouse above your mousepad slightly that way you mouse cant have bad friction because there is no friction

[arctic violet]

2025 magnetic hover mouse 0.5g

tristam till its over still a goated song tho

That takes me back

Didnt he ruin his career somehow

[golden sphinx]

i have 10 ring closings left

and im done with this torture

😭

[alpine trail]

morning

[spice jungle]

finger skate grip 😄 too

[bright elm]

nicee

i assume regular BR

and not 3 strikes

[strange canyon]

idk why

but sometimes i shake a lot

[alpine trail]

prob gripping mouse too tight

my apex clips are saved to a folder called Elder Scrolls. ...why?

elder scrolls online my favorite fps.

[strange canyon]

you might be right

it also looks shaky when i drink coffee

but that's normal

[alpine trail]

might i suggest matcha instead of coffee? it has the caff that you love in it and you can drink it a lot of different ways milk, plain, coconut water and so on.

i think I'm going to go make a batch now

uhm my point in saying that is that it has less caffeine than coffee lol

how did i not highlight that lol i dumb

[radiant ridge]

i used to do this when i started using a glass pad and sleeve

because i would just fucking slide when i was used to stopping

[radiant ridge]

this poor maggie was just along for the ride while horizon and i ran down the whole lobby

pain

[alpine trail]

it's not really that big a difference between the Maggie and Horizons impact on the game. it looks like in some form or another, maggie lost kills on not knocking them.

[radiant ridge]

yeah, they had to get picked up a lot. they were taking unfavorable fights.

my tracking was really solid that game, lots of octane pads and zips that i was oneclipping

i got really confused because it ended with both of them down and i took a 1v1, knocked them and was looking for the others.

didnt realize the lifeline took self-rez

idk how you lose a strafe fight against me with a 2x r3 in close range but lifeline found a way

[alpine trail]

lol octane players continue to pad out into the open when not realizing it makes them an easy target

[alpine trail]

ahh i can see that.

[radiant ridge]

i ended up slide jumping a noscope senti

feels so good when it connects

[alpine trail]

i wish you'd clipped it. that'd be great

to see

[radiant ridge]

yeah i should record gameplay so i can actually see what im doing wrong instead of relying on memory

[alpine trail]

hmm

good strat.

I'm gonna do that for Valo

[radiant ridge]

highly recommend

i'm not used to doing it because demos are auto-recorded for cs

[alpine trail]

how good were you in cs? very, right?

[radiant ridge]

i was ok, i wouldn't call myself very good.

i took long breaks with csgo and couldnt be consistent. i'd probably say my peak would be equivalent to a very mediocre ESEA-Main player a few years ago

[alpine trail]

icic

[wet stratus]

THAT is a cool frame

[alpine trail]

i hope to become good at valo. first tact shooter arc.

[wet stratus]

i need that frame

[radiant ridge]

mine?

[wet stratus]

ye

what frame is that?

[radiant ridge]

Sacred Depths, from s19 battle pass

a lot of hers are trash, so i'm grateful this one is really cool looking

[wet stratus]

[radiant ridge]

v kawaii

[alpine trail]

weeb

[radiant ridge]

i dont have any interesting badges or trackers so i just rock the boring one

[alpine trail]

no BP ones?

max bp

[radiant ridge]

i dont have a lot

[alpine trail]

ah

[radiant ridge]

some day....

🪟

[alpine trail]

i feel that.

every time you get close, the games almost over

[radiant ridge]

there's a few times i think i could have gotten it if i thirsted my kills more

[alpine trail]

[radiant ridge]

damn your game is vibrant

[alpine trail]

shout out to reshade

this is my little banner.

if only i could craft Wraiths cool new skin

lord knows i ain't giving this game money

[radiant ridge]

just craft it

[alpine trail]

not enough metals.

[radiant ridge]

smh

honestly the Rampart skin is the best in the collection and i'll fight anyone over it

[alpine trail]

I'll go take a look

man the flatline used to be my big fav but I've taken a liking to the 301. gonna make today a Flatty focus day.

ah. it is pretty neat.

i prefer wraiths though.

i did not warm up i'm about to get smoked

[radiant ridge]

i have to break my habit of walking forward during a strafe

[alpine trail]

yes pls stop that

[radiant ridge]

it was a crutch for when i was using flatline a lot

forward + left makes recoil a lot more forgiving iirc

[alpine trail]

ooooh i see

that's interesting.

i had no idea abt that...lol wtf

[strange canyon]

you can maybe walk backwards instead?

idk

haven't tried taht

[wary star]

the power move is to stand still

tbh

[wet stratus]

wtf

ur discord profile

has recent games

[radiant ridge]

it's mostly a mental thing. target is moving, i need to aggress on them.

sometimes it's the right play if im trying to take space and do damage, but i end up doing it outside of those situations way too often

[wet stratus]

u guys wanna play?

[strange canyon]

i do that sometimes too

i was playing earlier and was lagging a lot

[radiant ridge]

OCE PLAYER

[alpine trail]

it's in your settings.

[wet stratus]

i play on oregon

oce is dead

[radiant ridge]

that's a crying shame

would rather play with OCE players than half of my own country

[wet stratus]

it is kinda interesting how oce is actually good in pro play

despite how dead oce actually is

[radiant ridge]

the dedicated few

[bright elm]

@wet stratus im down 2 play for an hour

the 100 ping+ 3 stack 🔥

give me like 5 minutes

eating

[quaint karma]

where?

[wet stratus]

wiat what rank r u atm?

im like gold rn

[bright elm]

gold 1

i yhino

think

we can just fuck around

i was fucking around in plat yesterday and still winning

[bright elm]

if they're not looking at u, u can just mirror them

free beam and u dont even have to move mouse

[alpine trail]

go into your settings and scroll to activity settings. the games connected will show as recently played games

[radiant ridge]

yeah im not great at mirroring. i have to consciously think "oh im gonna mirror" instead of it being natural.

[bright elm]

u can practice in the range

or in kovaaks

just mirror the dummies or play movement scens and focus on mirroring

it becomes natural with experience

[radiant ridge]

yeah, i thought about playing r5r and just forcing 1v1s where i'd practice

[alpine trail]

"mirror"?

[radiant ridge]

even if the game feels different, at least the strafe component is the same

[true ravine]

before you start doing it being natural u need to do it consciously, keep practicing, always think about what youre doing and youll do it naturally soon

[bright elm]

insanely powerful strafe aim technique when used correctly

[alpine trail]

teach me the ways of a mirr-

[radiant ridge]

excuse my bad graphics

[bright elm]

u just move in the same direction as ur opponent

[alpine trail]

ahhhhh

i see

[true ravine]

mirror is move to the same side as your target

[bright elm]

its good when

1. u have hp advantage
2. u have higher dps weapon
3. they're not looking at u

[radiant ridge]

controller players favor anti-mirroring since it allows aim assist to kick in hard

if they're not used to mirroring, they'll throw right stick inputs in and die

[bright elm]

i can list some more conditions as well

bug im too lazy

[radiant ridge]

if they're used to it, they just let go of right stick

[true ravine]

4. Far distance spray

[alpine trail]

so like this vs the gibby

[bright elm]

yeah

[alpine trail]

that's so cool.

[true ravine]

theres a video in doki's youtube explaining how to strafe and get better at 1v1s, its an insane video, you should watch it

[alpine trail]

i was doing mirroring before i even knew what it was

[radiant ridge]

i'll check it, i've seen a lot of wrthcrw vids on the topic as well

i get the fundamentals and concepts, just have to apply them more often

[alpine trail]

mayhaps this will help with the recent games profile thing

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/22489665250327-Recently-Played-Games-on-Profiles#:~:text=Recently Played Games will display,be displayed in these tiles.

btw

[true ravine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLG32aIXjeQ&t=1s

he also has a lot of vod reviews from pros

may can help u

[radiant ridge]

that's sick, ty

[alpine trail]

chopsticks and i are sponges taking in waterfalls of knowledge.

[radiant ridge]

yeah i like learning, doesnt mean my execution is great tho

[twilit flicker]

dont strafe aim vs a roller tho

or atleast be careful with it

[radiant ridge]

infact dont engage with a roller at all

charged sentinel through a rampart wall only

[alpine trail]

lol

[radiant ridge]

improving strafe + reading player models are both areas i need to get way better at

[true ravine]

most of rollers doesnt move their fingers, bias can help a lot against rollers but you need to be carefull to not miss all your shots

[twilit flicker]

ye

[radiant ridge]

i just see them as blobs, i dont catch things like head positioning or sometimes even what legend it is if their silhouette isn't obvious

[twilit flicker]

people overrate average rollers by a lot

u can easly fk up their aim with proper dodge strafing

[true ravine]

most of them loses to mirror in r5r lmao

[radiant ridge]

average rollers win when people want to damage race in a tiny strafe angle

[true ravine]

ye

if ure in the open with no space to dodge

youll die

[radiant ridge]

i poke a shit ton, very rarely do i force a strafe duel unless im out of options or it's guaranteed

[true ravine]

i do force strafe duels but its to get better

[radiant ridge]

people hate the r9 now, but i still love it for quick peeks

[true ravine]

in game

isnt good

[alpine trail]

r9

[true ravine]

it jumps too much imo

[radiant ridge]

yeah, but it dumps ammo so fuckin fast that you can usually hit 30-40 damage barely exposing yourself in close quarters

[alpine trail]

yeah...even aceu was talking about how much it kicks up now

[true ravine]

but im playing a lot of r9 in game

but in r5

its just bad

[radiant ridge]

where it sucks is when they have any kind of opportunity to use hemlok/nemesis/prowler in response

burst is so rough

[true ravine]

burst weapons needs to get nerfed

[radiant ridge]

hard to nerf them without making them terrible tho

[true ravine]

but r9 with a good strafe can be really good

[true ravine]

make it terrible then

lmao

idc

i want spray weapons meta

[radiant ridge]

honestly i can respect that position

[alpine trail]

teach me the ways of a good strafer

[radiant ridge]

i do miss the r9/3030 meta

somewhat

[true ravine]

no way

30-30 was just insane

[radiant ridge]

hear me out

hear me out

[alpine trail]

3030

[true ravine]

r9

ok

[radiant ridge]

i one-trick bangalore

[true ravine]

30-30

no

[alpine trail]

i've heard enough

[radiant ridge]

it was my golden era

i got a digi and it was just free

[true ravine]

start playing bloodhound

its the same

[alpine trail]

i don't get how you gamers even use r9 its so hard

[radiant ridge]

i used to play bloodhound a lot on release

[true ravine]

i mean, it can delete people if u hit your shots

[radiant ridge]

i dont even use bangalore's smokes nearly as much as i should or how i should use them

no idea why i still play her outside of double time

[true ravine]

CAR is way worse than r99 imo

[radiant ridge]

you think so? CAR feels so much more consistent for me

[true ravine]

CAR is just bad

cant use it

probably skill issue

but

i hit more shots using r9 than car

also

i feel that CAR shoots too slow compared to r9

[radiant ridge]

alternator supremacy tbh

[alpine trail]

that's what I'm sayin'!
i miss a lot...

observe

[true ravine]

alternator takes too long to do a good damage without the hop up

when im not using r9 or volt

im using Havoc

cuz its fking idiot

lmao

18 damage

hipfire is better than any SMG

[radiant ridge]

if they're on blue, it's the same ttk

i'll ditch alternator if i dont find the hop-up by ring 2

[true ravine]

im thinking about playing double flatline

[radiant ridge]

respekt

[true ravine]

shit is deleting close range

lmao

[radiant ridge]

which optics?

[true ravine]

2x (close / mid) / 3x (Far)

3x + jitter of course

[alpine trail]

[true ravine]

why are u moving forward?

lmao

if u move left / right your recoil will desapear like a magic

try it

[alpine trail]

idk why i do that specifically in the range

like

in matches its always strafe left or right

but in the range i find myself moving forward

and i do not get why

dangit now i'm missing more.

[true ravine]

imagine youre playing centering

but moving left right

just aim smooth

[alpine trail]

[radiant ridge]

tfw you stop being smooth and your recoil jumps to the fuckin moon

[alpine trail]

how the heck do you good players do this

[true ravine]

lmao

when u stop being smooth and your flatline goes to the sky

[radiant ridge]

part of the reason i stopped playing high sens

couldnt be smooth when i was barely moving my mouse at all to keep up with them

[true ravine]

im using 0.7 - 0.9 and im doing ok

cant handle 0.6 anymore

too slow

@alpine trail

[alpine trail]

it's time to retire the rose red reticle

[strange canyon]

what if they buffed the r301 back to what it was

and also car and r99

[alpine trail]

that'd be so cool.

but

that means we'd have to be at close range vs rollers again

[true ravine]

they dont need to buff r3

just nerf the burst weapons

and havoc

SMGs and R3 + flatline would become meta again

[bright elm]

do what

[wintry cypress]

Mirror im guessing

[true ravine]

i think it was how to hit shots with the r9

[bright elm]

well first of all, good players would not pick up the r9

[alpine trail]

this

[bright elm]

it used to be way easier

to control r9 recoil

they nerfed it this season

they just love nerfing the r9

[alpine trail]

i giv up i like the CAR more anywho.

[true ravine]

i mean

u did fine

and r9 recoil isnt a thing since u can delete it strafing

the dmg is bad

but its fun to use it in casuals

[alpine trail]

icic

[bright elm]

car is better

r99 u cannot miss a single bullet

or ur fucked

[alpine trail]

fr

welp gonna start my flatline focus day in three strike

here goes nothing

ah. i should go grab some spring water first

everyone just shoots at you when they see you in this game

even if they're fighting another team

i do not get it

[true ravine]

bad timing

wait for knocks to third party

if u third party just because theyre shooting

they will focus u

if they have -1

they cant focus on u

dont hot drop

u cant do damage without a good weapon to do it

u have other ways to practice the gunplay

TDM, Control, r5r

use the battle royale to improve other aspects

also, play ranked

youll learn faster playing ranked

if u think so

[radiant ridge]

if you're solo queuing and dont get jumpmaster, your ass is getting hot dropped only slightly less than pubs

[radiant ridge]

there are times when shooting the other team is a good idea and there are times it's not.

if they're already under pressure, you probably shouldn't expect them to play it cool with you

[bright elm]

if ur gonna hot drop, learn where to drop in the POI so you can at least gear up and not get surprised jumped by a full team

@mental ridge explains it best

[alpine trail]

but why when that only puts more eyes on them?

[radiant ridge]

people do silly things when they're being shot at

they could also be close to an evo level and any damage helps

[mental ridge]

like drop kinda hot but land in a area where u see its not to clutterd so u have multiple lootstops to go to incase u dont find guns

[radiant ridge]

also dont land in the center of the POI imo

i sweep the outside and work my way in

[radiant ridge]

Total Masters & Preds
3,844

damn, that's the lowest since s13 split 1 according to ALS

[arctic violet]

i ascended...

[alpine trail]

guh

i am over it for today

the hell do ppl play this every day even

[true ravine]

probably cuz no one wants to queue against cheaters

[light rapids]

@gritty kayak

[bright elm]

https://streamable.com/yfmyeu

maybe in season 21 they will buff the r99

im off target for .1 seconds and i only do 194

with volt, i can be off target for 1 second and still do over 200+ damage

sad

[radiant ridge]

i do - GIVE ME HARDER BATTLES

(they're all hard, someone please save me)

[radiant ridge]

god the volt is so fucking fun. i love it.

care package volt was such a blaster

[true ravine]

im literally just playing 4fun in ranked this season

cuz

not possible do grind soloq

and i have no team to 3 stack

[radiant ridge]

retweet

also hesitant to run with LFG discord people based on past experience. turns into them wanting to make a team to play scrims/CC with

or the opposite where they'll play once and never again

[true ravine]

theres 2 types of people that are in those discords

really bad players wanting to get carried

or

mfs that thinks ranked is ALGS

and blames you for every hit he gets

just won a game soloq with a console player in my team

[jaunty agate]

trynna learn mnk demotivating when i can just go back to beautiful controller nd do this 😻 https://medal.tv/games/apex-legends/clips/2acLWtpArT4Esw/d13377Y4ziuh?invite=cr-MSwxUlQsNzE5NTU2OSw

[wary star]

what the fuck did i watch

[alpine trail]

mayhaps.

[bright elm]

u need to work on ur strafing

and you'll become a controller demon

[jaunty agate]

real any tips in particular rn my strafes kinda autopilot

[bright elm]

don't ad spam

[jaunty agate]

how your clips look so smooth too i'm trynna get mine like that 🙀

[bright elm]

if the other player was decent, he would've just beamed you by holding their crosshair still

[bright elm]

i process the raw footage through smoothie

before rendering through vegas pro

:)

[jaunty agate]

bets ty

[wintry cypress]

[toxic magnet]

congrats

those challenges are ass

[wintry cypress]

yeah

im relieved

lmao

[toxic magnet]

i used the skin for the whole of 3 days

but it’s a nice skin

so anyone without the s4 ones should be really happy

[wintry cypress]

i alr had the s4 one as well lol

[bright elm]

i did it for the wraith skin

[wintry cypress]

wraith skin is mid but GYAT

[toxic magnet]

same 😭😭😭

[bright elm]

the skin's mid?

wtf

[toxic magnet]

i went through all that pain to get a flatline skin i’m not even using 💀

[wintry cypress]

its aight

lol

not something ill use i dont think

but i want it regardless

[toxic magnet]

it’s a mid skin i gotta agree

[bright elm]

it has the best gloves imo

[toxic magnet]

but first person it looks good

who give a fuck what the third person look like

[wintry cypress]

i have yet to check it out first person

[bright elm]

and i also like the "rich" aesthetic

[wintry cypress]

literally just got off so

[bright elm]

of the outfit

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/888622831800320011/1233345855390613575/image.png?ex=66315f96&is=66300e16&hm=6c81e6d22fab100c7e63bc922410b8a9e00c192e4255a4e8bc401a8f57327e0e&

also look at this

[toxic magnet]

first person it’s fire idc what third person looks like

[bright elm]

doesn't this loo kfire

[wintry cypress]

do u get the banner with it or nah

[bright elm]

i got it during the event packs

[wintry cypress]

cause i havent seen the banner in my inv

[toxic magnet]

yes

[bright elm]

i boughti t

[wintry cypress]

fuck

oh

[toxic magnet]

banner and tracker

[bright elm]

like with the event points

[wintry cypress]

at this point i wish u could have banner presets

like banners poses badges trackers and skins, save em into a preset to load them

[toxic magnet]

these would be fire but i know for damn sure i’d be spending more time then i’d like doing a bunch 😭

[wintry cypress]

i think id only do it for wraith tbh

just saving my banner for all the characters, then leaving it at that

[toxic magnet]

i wish there was more badge slots

[wintry cypress]

sometimes i do as well

but most of the time i dont

[toxic magnet]

i think i’ve ran with the same banner since s10

only really changed out badges to update when i got newer season badges

[steep root]

Yeah

[jaunty agate]

is it possible to get that flatty still i havent done much challenges yet

how long it up for

[steep root]

till season ends

[true ravine]

?

[mental ridge]

switch to mnk and learn lurchstrafe

[mental ridge]

@toxic magnet are u ok bro?

did static get you?

[mental ridge]

@toxic magnet trust me this does wonders (i play 1440p)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUskpepWlf8&t=2s

bardpill helps

https://x.com/bardozVAL/status/1392242681074618372

bardOZ (Giovanni Laerte Frongia) (@bardozVAL) on X

TL;DR of the "bardpill" (static aiming training method):

1. learn aiming like you would learn a musical instrument - master the technique slowly at first

2. flick fast but take your time on the correction

3. restart if you miss in the first 10 secs

4. restart on 4th miss

GL!

[hollow brook]

apex skins are pay to lose

[mental ridge]

yes u loose money

[hollow brook]

bright red legendary skin

free bloodhound highlight for everyone

[mental ridge]

this aint warzone who cares

[hollow brook]

bro i just sit in a corner

and nobody sees me

managed to revive my whole team after they leave

by just wearing a camo skin

[mental ridge]

sounds like 3 strikes lol its a rat fest anyways

anti gamesense gamemode

[true ravine]

literally makes no difference the skin u use

most of players plays it at no streaming texture

and almost no effects

so

they cant see shit in your skin

[vague nexus]

Im so usčd to three strikes, i hate playing normal modes

Getting thirsted is annoying

[arctic violet]

waiting for solo mode

[true ravine]

people will make it annoying without a week

[mental ridge]

oh no u get punished for big mistakes oh noooo

[devout widget]

I am one finisher on seer off the flatline skin and I cannot seem to get it

Won 2 games with 8+ kills but everyone is holding hands

You go to finish you instantly get lasered

[arctic violet]

how? ratting?

[true ravine]

caustics, wattsons and other annoying legends sniping

but not 1 person doing it

the whole lobby

will be very funny

[arctic violet]

yeah if apex sucks is also fault of special folks like them

[true ravine]

respawn is fking dumb

all they need to do is fix the fking anti cheat and make ranked soloq

[devout widget]

Im literally just forcing myself to hot drop and get a finisher at this point

I am desperate lmao

I want to get off this game

[shy knoll]

Top 3 scenarios that helped you in apex legends? 🙂 TIA!! (kovaaks)

[devout widget]

WAIT LMAO I was in a 1v2 my teammate held the door I killed someone and finished him in front of his teammate

That is fucking hilarious 💀

[mental ridge]

smoothbot

[devout widget]

Pasu track something I forgor

[mental ridge]

vt plaza
vt smoothbot
vt 1w5t rasp

[uncut bison]

pgti/preciseorb is good too for tracking arcing targets coming from a pad or horizon q

[mental ridge]

i hate pgti even more than pasu i hate it so much that i often forget it exists

[uncut bison]

i love pgti thats my slime

[toxic magnet]

fuck static

i played to the point i had pain yesterday and i couldn’t improve my static

[mental ridge]

u got this trust me do bardpill

[mental ridge]

trust me watch the video

[toxic magnet]

i just don’t think static is for me

i got diamond target switch scores but static clicking i can’t get plat

i genuinely think i grinded 6 hours and didn’t beat my score

my wrist felt numb

[mental ridge]

i mean your accuracy is just poopoo u gotta work on your accuracy
and bardpill aims for that

[toxic magnet]

i’ll try it

[mental ridge]

your highscore is 950 u clicked 108 times and only hit 95 times

[toxic magnet]

every time i try high acc run i usually end up 800s

[mental ridge]

btw if u miss go for the next target to maintain speed

[mental ridge]

remember u can miss a few times just not more than 3x

dont be scared to miss u can always restart

[toxic magnet]

did you drop your sens at all?

[mental ridge]

no im too stubborn to do so

[toxic magnet]

ok

[mental ridge]

you use your hipfire sense from apex right?

[toxic magnet]

yes

1,5 800 dpi

[mental ridge]

like ioften find it quiet easy to use my ads sense if i want a slower sense https://jscalc.io/embed/Q1gf45VCY4tmm2dq or roughtly 75% of the hipfire sense

[toxic magnet]

bro im barely hitting 800s

im chalked rn

maybe as i just woke up

but holy im chalked

[arctic violet]

no sense grind static at 35cm

[toxic magnet]

bro i played so much i physically get pain doing static

[toxic magnet]

im pulling 800 scores

[mental ridge]

i guess youre too tense

[mental ridge]

do some streching

[toxic magnet]

most definitely but its so hard to be accurate and fast when im not

@mental ridge tried a high acc run

and scores just suffer for it

i just dont think im ever gunna be good at static

[arctic violet]

good way to destroy ur wrist😂

[toxic magnet]

my wrist already cooked

[mental ridge]

i mostly have my wrist static and flick with my arm

wrist only for small corrections

[mental ridge]

thats not accurate

[mental ridge]

its all practice lol restart after 4th misses

[toxic magnet]

ong ill never finish

[mental ridge]

itll take some time eventually u build the discipline to be accurate

as accurate as necassary as fast as possible

[light rapids]

gang 🤝

[young pine]

@mental ridge static is just about grinding it out while your brain is rotting in the process

[raven hull]

static can jog on

im never touching static again

[mental ridge]

thats what i said in a more optimistic way didnt i?

[young pine]

essentially 😂

[mental ridge]

wrist aimers are inferior

[young pine]

static isn't even my biggest enemy right now its dynamic

I just can't dynamic

[mental ridge]

pasu hate is real

[young pine]

true and real

[toxic magnet]

i dont mind pasu as much

static is my opp

until i die

i will die on that hill static is shit.

[mental ridge]

what mousepad and skates u using

[raven hull]

static on a skypad is the aim training equivalent of CBT

[toxic magnet]

idk just pulsars stock skates and skypad 3.0

[mental ridge]

yeah no i wouldnt wanna do static on a fast pad

i like my hybrids

[toxic magnet]

its easier no?

the no friction can really help with precision no?

[raven hull]

We have no stopping power other than our arm/hand.

over flicks and corrections are a bit harder

as you have to be more precise

[mental ridge]

u should ask yourself why static heavy games like val and cs are played on slow pads and high senses

a glasspad makes static so much harder

[young pine]

skypad can work on val and cs but it's normally players that have alot of experience already

[mental ridge]

coz they have fun with the difficulty of static on glass
since they make smaller and fewer mistakes its not as punishing

[raven hull]

@toxic magnet @mental ridge Added you both on steam btw, i need more people to compete against in kvks scores.

[toxic magnet]

i beat it by 1

nice

[raven hull]

[mental ridge]

screenshot

[toxic magnet]

my kovaaks scores are shit

[raven hull]

Same

[toxic magnet]

no no they shit shit

[raven hull]

No no, Same same

Yes no, same different

[mental ridge]

see if u didnt miss u would be plat

[toxic magnet]

FUCKKKKK

the things i wanna do to myself rn

[raven hull]

Like mine are VERY shit

[mental ridge]

u miss to much

[toxic magnet]

I MISSED ONLY 4 TIMES

i will improve one day

[raven hull]

only miss 3 times you get plat

[young pine]

why miss

[mental ridge]

way better than b4

[young pine]

[toxic magnet]

[raven hull]

i only really care about tracking and switching tbh

i refuse to touch static

i see no point personally, i dont like tac fps games they are boring to me. So why would i train at a tac fps cm range

[toxic magnet]

i enjoy tac fps but i suck at it

hence my static scores are shit

[raven hull]

damn ur plaza and smoothbot being so close together is pretty goated

mine has a huge difference

although ive heard s4 smoothbot is a joke compared to other seasons

[toxic magnet]

i think smoothbot i got alot faster then plaza

it really didnt take too long for smoothbot

[raven hull]

my brain just clocks out when it comes to plaza or any fast a-d strafes in game

i just go cross eyed and hope for the best

[mental ridge]

i cant to switching at all im soo shit at it

omg i hit plat finally

[toxic magnet]

congrats!

[mental ridge]

eva ts almost plat got me to plat

[toxic magnet]

that smoothbot score be carrying ong

youll be diamond in no time

[mental ridge]

yes

smoothbot boosted

[mental ridge]

once im smoothbot master

[toxic magnet]

i need 3 more points on 1w5ts to get diamond

3

[raven hull]

[toxic magnet]

incomes the curse

[raven hull]

atleast the scores are consistent

[mental ridge]

u allow yourselfd to miss too much again lol

[toxic magnet]

bro im trying 😭

[silver olive]

nothing feels worse than breaking multiple records only to get shit on in the actual apex game after

[toxic magnet]

it be like this alot of the time

[silver olive]

i went in the game so excited

lost it after 2 drops

[toxic magnet]

sounds about right

apex will do that to you

[mental ridge]

dont rely on aim too much remember gamesense > aim

bruh i could tell i was doing insanely good and the suddenly adrenalin kicks in and i get shaky

[toxic magnet]

nice!

[raven hull]

im losing my mind

[mental ridge]

not nice i might have been on a master score in the first half

[raven hull]

doing plaza legit feels like my eyes, brain and arm are having a domestic disagreement and wont work together

[mental ridge]

Anyways jade donuts are insane best skates i ever had

[toxic magnet]

take the victory you got a PB

[mental ridge]

no

its not good enought

[silver olive]

first benchmark after a week of starting

is it normal to be such big discrepancy?

[quaint karma]

this is around what my casual mnk friend got when i had him do these a while ago

reactive seems to come easy to everyone
