apex

[alpine trail]

And I’ll work on positioning aswell

Thanks

[cedar wigeon]

YOu have these indicator arrows

These arrows show you where the damage is coming from

Just saw this

Read it maybe there is something helpful for you

[ornate gorge]

anyone in bronze want to play 💀

havent played in 2 seasons

pubstomping everyone

[vague karma]

the main thing to me is that your awareness is really bad, there's not much you can do about this other than just being "present" in your games, taking the time to notice things / making a plan before you fully commit to a fight and trying not to go autopilot

also just spending more time in game so you know what can and can't happen

it'll make things look clearer the more hours you have

[sand gust]

https://streamable.com/a1h4p5 not the most aim heavy clip but it was funny atleast

https://streamable.com/kwv0xd

[tight totem]

so satisfying

nice clips

[sand gust]

thank you

[toxic saddle]

oh yes. waiting for the next update 😅 (or the next r5r.dev dedicated server version)

[shrewd pollen]

🫡

[spice halo]

I managed to regain 400 of the 1500 rp I’ve lost in the past weeks last night, issue is I have ZERO idea what I did differently last night to gain so much more 😆

At one point I was 500 rp thru D3, started last night on demotion protection and made it up to 450 (I was breaking in my new hien, I HAD to grind lmao)

Chat I almost beat him

[hushed forge]

holy fuck 1500 ???

😭

that is genuinely insane

if youre in master w -90 entry cost thats a whole 17 matches dead on drop in a row 😭

wtff

I die off drop twice and I have enough of the game for that day 🙏

[spice halo]

Its solo Q hell, and I have a habit of denying the tilt

[hushed forge]

oh yeah soloq makes sense

[spice halo]

I’ll be tilt queueing like “nah it was a fluke bro ill gain this time”

[hushed forge]

I would never soloq apex

even duo q random teammates still pmo 💔

[spice halo]

My friends are gold level

[hushed forge]

thats unlucky

my friends are diamond/master

[spice halo]

Actually I would say one of them is plat level for sure but our third is a genuine silver

[hushed forge]

😭

I play w two friends

[spice halo]

Bro does 60 damage in a fight talking about “i did my part”

[hushed forge]

one is diamond skill level and one is master

and Im like dia but I also only have 150 hours 💔

started end of last season

[spice halo]

I am hardstuck diamond 😂

[hushed forge]

😭

[hushed forge]

I would be as well if I wasnt 3 stacking icl

[spice halo]

I’m like 5 or 6 time diamond, every few seasons I start grinding again but when the split happens I drop off

[hushed forge]

not out of dia yet but trust Im hitting that master

if not this split then next

lowkey its just olympus trolling my games

the map is so dogshit

[spice halo]

If I had a pair of consistent teammates I could probably make it, honestly I play really well when someone else IGLs

I’m much better as a smart persons attack dog than I am as the shot caller

[hushed forge]

we need an igl 😭

we are never on the same page

the games that were somehow locked in and acc know what were doing we win every time

but half the time its one of us pushing, one guy holding a team and one guy is at a completely different poi getting gangbanged by three teams

[spice halo]

I was playing bangalore instead of ash last night and just blocking enemy LoS and it was working so well

[tight totem]

i lost 3k rp in a day when i was masters for the first time

[hushed forge]

bro what

[tight totem]

deranked straight to d3 or something

[hushed forge]

how is that even possible

[tight totem]

it was a demonic session bro

we did not cook

[hushed forge]

BRO THATS 47 GAMES IN A ROW YOU DIE OFF DROP

[spice halo]

“We can only go up from here” 😂

[tight totem]

everyone drunk mad sleepdeprived

[hushed forge]

HOW

😭

how does that happen

[tight totem]

idk we just kept playong

😂

[hushed forge]

bangalore is lowkey really good when used correctly

[spice halo]

Can’t end on a loss ykyk

[hushed forge]

w the team

tbf thats w a lot of legends tho

[spice halo]

I used to main bang actually, got like 4900 kills on her

[hushed forge]

that is outrageous

[tight totem]

it was on olympus i remember it well

[spice halo]

And my account is only 10k kills so almost half of my kills are bang

[hushed forge]

47th times the charm 😭

[hushed forge]

damn wtf

I think I got a total of like

300 kills on my acc

😭

[spice halo]

I have 2k hours

I played this throughout high school and I’m a college senior now

[hushed forge]

acc it might be closer to like 500

[spice halo]

I’m not good at the game I just have a decent amount of play time

[hushed forge]

so youre good at the game

but w a lot of playtime

[spice halo]

1v1 me and you’ll probably win 80% of the time

I’m not that good 😂

[hushed forge]

the game isnt all mechanics tho

[spice halo]

Idk I really need to figure out what’s actually holding me back from masters

Game might genuinely die before i ever manage to claw my way up

[hushed forge]

soloq

soloq is holding you back from masters

[spice halo]

Fair 😆

[hushed forge]

youd have to be top 0.1% to soloq masters

like actually hitting masters

[spice halo]

There was one night where i got a clutch soloq W, they invited me to the squad and in the apex discord and we gained like 850 rp that night

[tight totem]

which is funny cuz if the system worked masters should be 0.1 anyway

[hushed forge]

not reaching it once and deranking instantly

[spice halo]

And then the squad never reformed 😂

[hushed forge]

😭

[hushed forge]

thats 1 in 1000 people

[spice halo]

Funny thing is, if you can hang in d3 lobbies this season then you’re probably skilled enough to hang with masters since the lobbies give you masters and preds

[hushed forge]

bro istg

I load into a game

the bar is just diamond

and like 2 plats

I die and what do I see?

whole team that killed us w pred badges

and 20 bomb badges

every fucking game

[tight totem]

highest rank bro

[hushed forge]

or not pred mb

master

every game I die its master and 20 bomb badges

[spice halo]

I was in a storm point match with six preds, had a hunch about who champ squad was, so i pulled up the stream, this is what i saw

[hushed forge]

pred is highest

[hushed forge]

and pred is top 750

[tight totem]

pred is just top 750 masters

[hushed forge]

so thered have to be 750000 players to fill pred

[spice halo]

I’ve been in two separate matches with hiswattson already this season

[hushed forge]

if pred is top 0.1%

so if we combine masters and pred into one rank

if we had 750k players

[tight totem]

semantics rn

[hushed forge]

there wouldnt even be any masters

it would only be the top 750 master/preds

and everybody else is diamond or lower

[tight totem]

all im saying is that masters should be held in a higher regard

[hushed forge]

yeah

top 5% is more realistic

or maybe a lil lower

like 2.5%

[tight totem]

id like that to be diamond

[hushed forge]

assuming a playercount of 1M

[tight totem]

give me this bro

🔥 🔥

[hushed forge]

top 2.5% would make 25k

thats pretty realistic

if you take into account theyre all split between different regions

so thered only be a couple thousand in each region

[spice halo]

What if I hop into ranked rn with ZERO warmup after an 8 hour lifeguarding shift 🤔

What could possibly go wrong

[hushed forge]

LoL is way bigger than apex tho

[vague karma]

not a shot considering probably 1 in 5 masters is an actual bot that just queues 18 hours a day

[hushed forge]

130 million monthly active users

apex is literally a fraction of that

if only 0.024% of the playerbase could be masters you would never find more than like one master team in any lobby at any given time

it would literally just be a team of masters dominating plats every game

[spice halo]

Going from a very slow control pad to a hien has me overcorrecting EVERYTHING bro

[hushed forge]

trust thats the meta

[storm mural]

Same energy

it's said that Grandmaster Wong Yan Lam setup a lei tai in front of Hai Tung Monastery and announced that he would accept any challenger in Guangdong, Martial Arts central at the time, no rule, no restrictions, and no-holds-barred.

And beat a hundred and fifty guys. And more than that, this was said about his process: "Either the challenger was maimed or killed," said noted Hap Ga Sifu David Chin. "He never let one challenger leave his school without injury. He was a master of using the technique of ruthlessness."

Personally, I believe that number has to be inflated by the news and such, because there's no way it was one-fifty. At most it had to be one-forty-nine, because I'll make an allowance for the first one hundred forty-nine people who clearly failed to realize that they're the extras in a Jet Li movie, but you're telling me you're Johnny #150 and you see #149 crawling out of the ring with his legs tied into a pretzel while the gravediggers are standing off to one side fitting their tenth corpse today, and you fucking go onto the platform!? Hell no, a hundred and forty-nine at most, there's just no way anyone actually does that as the hundred and fiftieth guy in line.

[hushed forge]

bro glass control pad is the way to go istg

I got a padsmith empress control its so good

[spice halo]

Eventually once I have the money for it I might try more pads

[hushed forge]

its a lil faster than my artisan zero

[spice halo]

But this hien is godly compared to an old ass qck 😆

[hushed forge]

but it has almost no static friction

plenty of dynamic friction

its so good

[hushed forge]

qck for apex 💔

[hushed forge]

😭

[spice halo]

When I first started using this pad bro I was thinking I’d be negative accuracy, shooting legit nothing, but then I three tapped somebody at midrange with a base wingman off drop and my thoughts changed 😆

[hushed forge]

bro I wanna try a skypad

but theyre so expensive

[bright slate]

its nice but kinda overrated

[hushed forge]

whats recommended then

I also just really want the limited drops w the designs

[bright slate]

🤷‍♂️

[spice halo]

I heard it makes your mistakes a lot more obvious, and my aim is dogshit so I could NOT use one yet haha

[hushed forge]

I gotta have an anime girl on my mousepad

[hushed forge]

hopefully thatll be motivational enough to make me start aim training again

[spice halo]

I just went from my real nice setup to the laptop i use at college, my aim is suffering from the smaller monitor

It’ll come back tho, gotta keep grinding

[hushed forge]

grind never stops 🗣️ 🗣️

[spice halo]

I gotta get back in shape too, haven’t exercised in two months 😂

Well, before Thursday i hadn’t

[storm mural]

Ngl I did some solo Q this evening and I have to be mentally ill since I kept going for a couple hours. I had teammates hot drop without the ability to shoot guns, jumpmasters who land us on two teams and fight first even though that's a guaranteed wipe by the third party (we got wiped after I killed the first squad by bots, at least the first team could shoot), a clueless Loba who landed us late as the fourth team, and a Mirage that walked in the open to a Rampart and just died for it.

[spice halo]

That’s wild, what rank?

[storm mural]

I wouldn't mind the inability to hit shots so much but Apex was gracious enough to crash too at the end so I just walked it off.

Gold, I don't grind ranked much.

My first team riled me up too, ping for a fight and then this pervert stands at the back and has about 0 suppressive effect on the team reaming Wraith (who was fighting behind a container so we couldn't help her, great tactical skill).

The biggest issue with climbing solo is the absolute morons who can't breathe unless you tell them to, how the fuck did these people escape silver.

I watched a teammate drop Loba ult outside the range to grab a banner, drop a mobile respawn beacon, and drop an evac tower to go where the first guy died immediately. He died and I crashed (last game of the night).

[spice halo]

speaking of braindead idiot teammates in solo q... my first match of the night just now, we land gardens with 1 contest, one walks up to us, i hit him with a bow, NOBODY thinks to swing him, i have to do it myself, i dip to heal in cover, crack another, SAME STORY, third guy knocks me and my team finally swings

[storm mural]

That's devious

[spice halo]

and then the third party shows up, i say RUN, sparrow tries to rez me and dies, alter puts a nexus very close and calls us and gets aped

[storm mural]

I'm not sure that it's real players.

Because literal bot royale has better teammates.

I played that for one of the challenges and I was amazed at the difference in teammate quality.

But yeah, I just don't have the mental fortitude to deal with idiots in ranked for long periods of time.

[sonic marlin]

Singularity when it's back in stock

[hushed forge]

if only the singularity had an anime girl on it 💔

[spice halo]

lol

bangalore is the move rn ngl

especially since ballistic and alter got nerfed (slightly) so its a little less throwing to not pick one of them

and her passive will always be good

[devout tusk]

only 2.0 is good and its small

maybe 4.0 is good idk

[spice halo]

ring 5, 3 teams left, i throw a nade where we know one is, get two knocks off it, throw bang ult and it finishes the squad

xD

[ornate gorge]

i really like pathy double grapple rn

[spice halo]

I did it again, something might've clicked xD

500 rp gained

That’s 900 rp climbed in two days solo q

[ornate gorge]

i gained 5000rp solo queuing today

[alpine trail]

Tysm, this helps

[alpine trail]

Alright so I js need to play more?

[alpine trail]

Yo wtf, dayum

[alpine trail]

How do u hit so many shots while running and gunnin, I make shots but I miss a million of them aswell

[sand gust]

devo gets better hipfire the more you shoot it

[alpine trail]

Ahh ok, thanks

[sand gust]

same with the spitfire and rampage all lmgs but the lstar have it

[ornate gorge]

Well

Play actively

Like think abt what ur doing

And why

And if u die ask urself how was ur positioning etc

Not ur mechanica

[alpine trail]

Aight but are my mechanics bad or fine?

[ornate gorge]

Ifk

Idk

Havent seen the

Them

U can always improve mechanics too

[alpine trail]

Alright, is it ok if I send one of my arena games to show my mechanics?

[ornate gorge]

An r5 1v1 would probably be the best show of ur mechanics

[alpine trail]

Is r5 good to train mechanics?

[bright slate]

its fine

most people are just 1v1ing

[alpine trail]

Kk

[hushed forge]

9 kills 1 assist = 35 rp

💔

was this before the ranked changes?

[golden sphinx]

i love apex

how they have banned me in the past for a curse word nothing even overly offensive or racist

but i report someone for calling me an n word multiple times just because i didnt run out to fight a team of 3 alone

and they tell me to just block them 😭

[bright slate]

just dont type and dont speak to randoms

[golden sphinx]

but my main got banned for "pussy team"

[bright slate]

you will be banned for everything in any game

its all automated

[golden sphinx]

nah im ok with being banned tbh if my team are playing ranked and turn away from every single fight

just so they can get placement points with 0 kp

ima call them what they are

like if u wanna play a game where all u do is hide

go play some gmod prophunt

i understand not taking 1 fight or something but literally every fight for the entire game the second they heard shooting they ran the opposite direction

[barren sequoia]

Same… but it’s not by my own doing, my 2 teammates I play with regularly just don’t have the hunger to be better like I do. I mean the fucks don’t even practice aim AT ALL. Not even firing range 😒

I legit do better playing solo than i do with them. I just don’t have 8 hrs a day to play. Sadness ensues

Also sorry for randomly dropping in here w yall without introducing myself. If you’ve ever played with or against “BBL Drizzy” , he is I. Sup folks

[vague karma]

mechanics come second after gamesense / positioning like in a tac fps if you're making the worst peek possible no matter how good your aim is you will lose 99% of the time

[vague karma]

bro i got a week long ban for being called äutistic femboy" like what no warning

[golden sphinx]

i literally only report for the same stuff i have been reported for in the past or something similar

and i always get an email saying no action was taken

i got hit with a hate speech ban for saying i was gonna go bow in arenas

and "u 2 are beyond bad"

i dont think ea knows what hate speech is lol

[vague karma]

they're so wet

[golden sphinx]

idk if they thought bow was something else but i literally meant the weapon lol since id just play bow when i was throwing in arena

[spice halo]

My friend used the same name for a while haha, sometimes we change our names to current memes. We were ragebaiting people as italian brainrot names for a while.

Past couple days I’ve been hard focusing on my own gunfighting, focusing on using my damage to close the gap, keeping my shields and health topped up when possible, and swinging off shield cracks once we’re close enough. Been helping a lot, random teammates usually see you push up and at least partially follow you into the fray

And I’ve been using Bangalore who I used to main for a long time, still got the smoke IQ 😆

[vague karma]

you don't need to torrent r5 anymore?

[severe canyon]

No

There’s a launcher and installer

[spice halo]

I’m hoping to claw my way back into D3 tonight after work (91 rp off when I stopped last night)

[vague karma]

never seen a game download 125% before

[vague karma]

please help

if i close the launcher it'll start from 0%

[bright slate]

is that r5

[vague karma]

yeah

[bright slate]

id check out their discord

[vague karma]

yeah alright

rip

[fresh slate]

yo any apex-aimlab coach to suggets me?

[outer sleet]

Look at this nerd actually using his brain

Meanwhile I just alter q on people with a devo

Pro strat

[spice halo]

I just wanna rank up maaaaaan

[outer sleet]

Same

[spice halo]

My r99 game has been insane recently tho

[outer sleet]

We should play together probably actually

[spice halo]

Shredding people

[outer sleet]

I feel like you have the right mindset

[outer sleet]

Hell yea

[spice halo]

I’ll be on at like 8:45 est, u NA?

[outer sleet]

Phh you're Na that might be a problem

I'm eu

[spice halo]

Ahhh shit

Yeah I get like 130 ping on eu servers i think

[outer sleet]

Althpugh people say na is easier so I might give it a try

Or less sweaty anyway

[spice halo]

Interesting

[outer sleet]

Idk I swear I heard someone say that

[spice halo]

I know back when they had more specific area servers that new york and virginia were a little less sweaty and texas was a cesspool of showerphobic lards

[outer sleet]

Well I guess I'll have to keep solo queing :/

Once I hit masters I'm getting off the game for a month at least

[spice halo]

😂 fair enough

[outer sleet]

Becoming a kovaaks main after that

[spice halo]

I’ll definitely keep grinding even if I make it, because I wanna get better AND maybe I could get the animated badge 😆

[outer sleet]

Fairs

Although my case is pretty much just a distinct lack of mouse control cause I have kike <1k hours on mnk

So ye it would make sense to aim train more

[spice halo]

Ah yeah, makes sense. I have 2k hours in apex alone and I’ve been pc gaming for like 9 years (think I built first pc at 12 years old, not 100% sure)

I think my aim isn’t really my bottleneck in terms of performance, honestly wonder if one coaching session would help me out, shame anyone worth listening to wants money for it 😂

[outer sleet]

If you want to improve I'd advise you to check out dazs. I used tk watch him and I think he explains the concept of los manipulation and positioning a pretty much everything in the game pretty well so ye

How to take engagements etc

Helped me out a lot when I was starting out

Also you should holster your weapon pretty much always unless you want to shoot

And slide jump every 2 seconds or so

So ye

[spice halo]

Maybe I oughta post a vod

Dunno if my laptop could handle recording and playing at the same time tho haha

[outer sleet]

You play on a laptop?

[spice halo]

Yeah while I’m at college

But i’m staying in my college house for the summer too so laptop gameur hours

Its not an awful system, its like a 12700 and 3070 ti

[outer sleet]

HOLY SHIT

[storm mural]

You can watch Raizy's streams, she doesn't mind explaining her thought process while playing

[ornate gorge]

how do u still queue

[tight totem]

we were havin fun

i remember at the time i was like at the 1k hour so relatively i was still pretty casual

[ornate gorge]

Amazing

still having fun while 3k rp down

[tight totem]

😂

powers of being a casual just Wkeying

i think that was it

my playstyle has always max W key bcs i like improving on mechanics so i didnt mind if i had to "pay" rp for imrpovement

needless to say, i had to take time later to learn proper positioning and everything in order to get better overall lol

[ornate gorge]

I wkey too but probably not as crazy as u

[light plover]

how does the coaching work? I been doing atleast 1-2 hrs of aim training per day using Kovaak's and Aimlabs. Found some routines on Kovaaks that I been liking seem to be improving quite a bit. I still have troubles 1 clipping people, usually they always get away with 1hp or are SUPER low when i get killed. Ive been more cognitive of my positioning but usually still end up getting fried half the time. I am currently D3 trying to make a masters push but I get close, then RP just gets thrown. I see so many people just W keying and it just works.

[bright slate]

people who w key are usually better mechanically than the rest of the players in the lobby

[sleek nebula]

Yes

Any wraith mains here?

[bright slate]

nuh uh

[true ravine]

W keying works when you have decent teammates, wkeying while solo will be way more difficult

[unborn scarab]

this isn't aim related but i thought i'd share i got a heirloom at lvl 10

[bright slate]

wtf cheater

i have <3000 hours and still dont have one

[true ravine]

Im literally crying

[vague nexus]

On my very first pack i got a loom

[visual bluff]

when i first played apex on like day 1 on my second pack ever i got wraiths heirloom
at this point shards didnt exist you just got wraith's cuz it was the only one in the game

the ironic thing was i didnt even play wraith

[alpine trail]

Alright tysm for the help, I’ll check him out

[alpine trail]

Alright I’ll work on game sense then

[inner linden]

gxnjy is ass yr chilling

[unborn scarab]

i don't even play apex but i guess i now gotta play it since i got a rare thing

[vague nexus]

Yessss

Status is all that matters

[loud finch]

oh come on baby

[unborn scarab]

always

[vague nexus]

Whats the point of boing pred if you look poor

People will just think you are cheating and have no skill

Microtransactions validate your rank

[outer sleet]

Exactly bro

If you have spent <2000$ on the game don't even speak to me

[placid root]

I don't get what the point of decreasing the TTK was, if the audio doesn't work and you just die instantly out of nowhere

[severe canyon]

Make the game more casual friendly

[placid root]

TikTok brained casual friendly

[sleek nebula]

more aim assist please

[placid root]

[this~3]

[sleek nebula]

glad we can agree

[placid root]

Dying to low levels

[outer sleet]

Their skill locked on

[sleek nebula]

apex looks fun until im actually playing

[placid root]

Just played a diamond ranked match, forgetting it was ranked, and rolled everyone 😭

[hushed forge]

"1k hour" "casual" 💔 💔

[quaint karma]

game is 6 years old brav

thats half an hour a day

[hushed forge]

1k hours is 1k hours

they coulda started playing last year

idk

also past tense

they were 1k hours

and they were also master

so 1k hours past tense + master

and casual in the same sentence

[tight totem]

casual is a mindset

playtime doesnt matter if u dont try

[placid root]

My gf has 1k hours and she barely plays

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hushed forge]

I dont have 1k hours in any game 😭

my most played is siege w 640

[hushed forge]

fairs

but how do you not try to masters 😭

[tight totem]

i just spammed games

i have like under 500 games of pubs in my whole career probably

i dont play much but every time i play its ranked

[hushed forge]

I have under 500 games of every gamemode combined 💔

[tight totem]

i have 3k hours now

i started tryharding in like s20 when ED came out

[hushed forge]

ED?

[tight totem]

e district

[hushed forge]

ohhh yeah

omd whens e district coming back into rotation 😭 😭

I started playing second split of last season

and edistrict was so tech

now we have fucking olympus

and the other one

acc pmo

worlds edge

[placid root]

Siege was the first game I got over 1k hours

[cedar wigeon]

Apex is just not fun at all atm

No audio

Shit meta

haha funny ballistic you cant use your gun haha

[vague karma]

can't move and can't shoot

[cedar wigeon]

such a good game

10/!=

[vague karma]

if by some miracle you knock one they just take alter port back

[cedar wigeon]

No sound ash ult on you and you die

Akimbo p20 and devotion in your face

[vague karma]

bring back smg barrel mods

peak apex

[placid root]

How about they make every weapon useful again, instead of playing favorites

Bring back the old rifle hipfire

[cedar wigeon]

Bring back an season where you had to use your brain and couldnt just press mouse1 and w

[hushed forge]

idk man apex is p fun

esp after alter and ballistic nerfs

only complaints I have is bad audio and dogshit maps

[wintry cypress]

U can only press m1 + w if youre on controller

[cedar wigeon]

pray for that aim assist 🙏

[golden sphinx]

apex "fixed" footsteps

and by that

i mean your teammates footsteps

cause i swear my teammates footsteps are like 10x louder than they used to be

the amount of times i think i hear an enemy but its just my teammates footsteps being loud af

and also i hear random ballistic Q's that are nowhere near me

[cedar wigeon]

Same

[spice halo]

I’ve clawed back into diamond 3, question is do I keep solo queueing or do I lfg for a 3 stack tonight 😂

[outer sleet]

bro it's getting so bad that I do a reality check every time I hear an enemy to make sure I'm not dreaming

[true ravine]

Lfg is a 50/50

If you don’t find good players to climb

Will be a very bad session

[golden sphinx]

yuh its the schizophrenic audio update lol

[outer sleet]

fr

[spice halo]

Yeah, I’d think of maybe putting a k/d requirement but I’m only a 1.1 so can’t really do that either haha

[true ravine]

i mean, just find chill people and if you like them you can improve together with them

[golden sphinx]

wish i could do this but god blessed me with very bad anxiety lol and the people i did know and were comfortable with stopped playing

so i gotta just play with randoms

im also a pirate cause apparently that wasnt enough so im also blind in 1 eye

[severe canyon]

God hates us all

We’re apex players

[copper forge]

is roller still op on this game?

[wintry cypress]

yeah i think so

[severe canyon]

It’s not too bad

Kasheras still the best player in the world

And hes mnk so

[stiff hedge]

thats a crazy statement

[vague karma]

can someone show me a mantle jump off this zip looking down

i literally cannot

[golden sphinx]

dude has gotta be kasheras alt

[vague karma]

#2 #4 #35 preds what is this mm

[golden sphinx]

bruh tf have they done to the charge rifle

just get 2 shot from some random ass dude fast af

why tf have they made the fire rate for it insanely fast

[stiff hedge]

for some reason the game thinks you want to take the zip down

thats why

i think

[hushed forge]

its exactly what youre doing

but you look down

thats it

literally just look at the floor when you mantle jump

[hushed forge]

yup thats the charge rifle now

its fair and balanced

[golden sphinx]

lol i wish

apex could never make anything fair and balanced

its either always at the extreme end of op

or the extreme end of shit

with no inbetween

[vague karma]

because if you can always use the same gun why would you buy skins for the other ones

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 0.3550

[ornate gorge]

God i hate this gun meta

Ballistic devo and ult

[tight totem]

just keep in mind kd aint everything

as you probably know

damn i wish i could play with you but I'm not feeling apex

maybe when fall comes along

[outer sleet]

Try not to look all the way down when the zip is that close

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 12.9886 cm/360°

[outer sleet]

Anyone ranked?

[alpine trail]

What can I do to improve my movement?

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 43.2955 cm/360°

[cedar wigeon]

There is no specific thing you can do to improve your movement, it comes with time and playing kinda

Or if you want to learn something like supergliding oder tap strafe etc you can watch a tutorial on youtube

[alpine trail]

Alright, thanks

[stiff hedge]

watch hollow

[alpine trail]

Who’s that

[stiff hedge]

a very good player

he has the best movement ive seen at least

not in movement tech terms

[severe canyon]

Ive never seen someone say hollows got good movement

[stiff hedge]

he does

[tight totem]

i just opened the latest hollow montage and see him mirroring

[stiff hedge]

whats the poroblem with that?

[tight totem]

in my humble opinion i don't think mirroring is optimal

[stiff hedge]

i mean if it works it works

it works for me at least

[alpine trail]

Hmm ok

Would r5 help?

[alpine trail]

What’s mirroring

[stiff hedge]

moving in the same direction as the enemy

so you dont have to aim almost

[tight totem]

yea

pros maximizes dmg
cons more vulnerable

[placid root]

I'm too used to anti-mirroring atp

[alpine trail]

ahhh ok

could some1 review another vod of mine

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

i made a lot of mistakes like i was quite staionary while fighting also i dont know what to do in most situations

[vague karma]

just crop up the fights i beg 🙏

[rose wraith]

1. why are you landing in a relatively small loot pile instead of going into the ship? especially on a ship drop that has alikely third party contest

2. your teammates auto call a late landing party, but you're still looting while they're fighting people

3. looting with your gun out

don't land sparsely on a POI if there's a good chance you're getting friends

a lot of teams will see you break off early and decide to land on an isolated player

sticking tethered until you're about to land helps with that

but even then, once you hear other team contact, you need to wrap up your looting and go be close so you can either bait, trade, or assist your teammates

despite nothing in those first few seconds having anything to do with your gunfighting, you're making the wrong decisions on what to prioritize

you have a prowler, the moment you hear 'another squad dropped out of the sky' you need to turn around and go help

[vague karma]

ads less in fights and don’t take them with 0 cover you’re just giving the enemy a free 2v3 if you’re dying solo

[river steeple]

emoji man

[vague karma]

if you want to improve your movement maybe look at wasd strafing and sliding more around the map

[alpine trail]

Huh

Wdym

[alpine trail]

Most of the time when I don’t ads I miss half my shots

[alpine trail]

Aight

[alpine trail]

Hmm ok

So I should prioritize supporting my team?

[vague karma]

whats your hipfire sens?

[alpine trail]

Ik not to take fights without cover but during games I always forget and end up in the open

[alpine trail]

Not sure, I need to check

[vague karma]

/cm source

[alpine trail]

What’s that

[vague karma]

command

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 43.2955 cm/360°

[alpine trail]

My mouse sensitivity is 1.12, ADS multiplier is 1.7 and I’m 800 dpi

[rose wraith]

looting efficiently is pointless if you finish looting and your teammates are dead

[alpine trail]

Kk

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 46.3880 cm/360°

[stiff hedge]

thats your hipfire sens i think

[vague karma]

yeah

and apex has fov scaling on ads sens

is this tech actually useful anywhere?

[stiff hedge]

probably not

ive seen hugowolfy use it

[golden sphinx]

this the best wraith skin change my mind

[bright slate]

void walker and rfit stalker >

[golden sphinx]

i wish i could enjoy normal trios in apex

but every single game is just teammates hot dropping at the same exact locations

with about literally 8 other teams

dying within the first 10 seconds

people say its to like get better by having more fights but what are they learning when they get no loot and insta die

[bright slate]

just dont play pubs

[golden sphinx]

unless its practice for quitting to the lobby screen faster to get into another game and repeat

my ranked games are horrible tho

if i play on eu 9 times out of 10 my teammates dont even speak english

if i switch to US servers i gotta play with a bit of delay which is also annoying 😭

[bright slate]

i swear playing with ping is broken

esp on roller

you can wideswing a corner

1 clip someone

and get out before they can even do anything

[golden sphinx]

not when u think u have cleared a corner but u die anyways

my options are only 23ping or 130ping

cause only 1 eu server for some reason

[severe canyon]

If you get 23 ping then shut your trap

I torture myself with 70 ping on my closest server

[bright slate]

yeah

im at best 80

[severe canyon]

In a first world country in the big 25

[bright slate]

rocking almost more ms than fps

[severe canyon]

Fuck these electronic arts bastards

https://tenor.com/view/thing-the-thing-rain-sad-fantastic-four-gif-16023660235634804326

[golden sphinx]

you ever tried playing with randoms that are french or russian

even if you use comms they ignore u

and then scream down the mic at you after they die cause they dropped with the enemy team instead

literally had a game where teammate asked if we are landing on them

other dude didnt say anything so we just landed safe and he landed on them dying instantly

[severe canyon]

Yeah I play EU

I’ve never had an English speaking teammate before

[bright slate]

yeah ive played faceit on csgo

[severe canyon]

You’re not special

We in the trenches together nephew

[golden sphinx]

also if there is one thing i gotta say

US servers are easier than EU

not cause of the ping difference just in how they play

EU are sweaty af NA are usually more relaxed and i often catch them over extending or just standing without cover giving an easy kill

never happens on EU

[bright slate]

what rank are you

[golden sphinx]

only diamond atm

barely played for the past 2 weeks

not a big fan of the current meta tbh and i only just started playing again at the end of last season

not a big fan of the ttk changes either

[severe canyon]

[outer sleet]

Exellent for trickshoting

[spice halo]

I dropped back to d4 last night playing with a funny ass trio (not even mad ab it) now I’m gonna play ranked while I drink beers 😂

Maaaybe I’ll quit when my performance tanks but should have a good few matches before that

[devout tusk]

ive always felt the reverse, eu teammates are actually playing the game so its easymode

[dapper rapids]

Im so close to diamond, I can feel it in my bones🙏

[ornate gorge]

i hope apex dies

most dog piss game to exist

[dapper rapids]

He just deranked

[ornate gorge]

real shit

Tired of this meta

[dapper rapids]

Ey man tuf

[ornate gorge]

Devos and wide swing

[dapper rapids]

Dude

Im a ballistic main

[ornate gorge]

[dapper rapids]

I run dual devos

[ornate gorge]

Ur apart of the problem

[bright slate]

we are playing pathfinder with a flatline

[ornate gorge]

Real

Playing pathy with mastiff

These guys miss half their clip and still are able to kill me

When i hit 80% of my clip

went to d4 to d1 today was so painful

[dapper rapids]

Sucks brah, went from p3 to p1

[ornate gorge]

I ran thru plat ez

These preds tho

P2020 and devo

Hard swinging

[dapper rapids]

p2020 are cringe

Theyve been good for almost a year

[ornate gorge]

4 bullets do like 100 dmg

Insane

I want support meta back

[dapper rapids]

That aint happening

[ornate gorge]

Idc bro

[dapper rapids]

Which servers do you play btw?

[ornate gorge]

Let me bubble fight

Nae

[dapper rapids]

Yuck

That place is either the most chill

or sweaty asf

[ornate gorge]

Piss ranked system too

Why is a diamond able to queue #1 pred

[dapper rapids]

Youre just 2 ranks off mate

[ornate gorge]

And u solo queue into three stacka

[ornate gorge]

Thats like ascendant and radiant

😭

[dapper rapids]

Its a crime you dont get less rp for 3 stacking

[bright slate]

its one rank

[dapper rapids]

I dont play valorant

[bright slate]

pred is just the top750 master players

[dapper rapids]

I assume thats valorant

[ornate gorge]

Egregious

[bright slate]

its the same as masters

[ornate gorge]

No

[bright slate]

it is

[ornate gorge]

Implying its one rank is saying theyre the near the same skill level

The top 750 clear

[bright slate]

most preds are dogshit

[ornate gorge]

Then why cant people pass them

😭

[bright slate]

if i 3 stacked for 6 hrs a day at a minimum

i would gap most

idk

sure pred > masters

but its not saying much when most master stuckers are p4 incarnate

[ornate gorge]

High masters and pred same skill level

[bright slate]

preds being d4 playerrs

doesnt make them good

just better than the p4 players

7/10>6/10

[vague karma]

high masters and preds have the same skill level of being jobless and hobbyless bums

bro what the fuck is this

i have my maths paper 3 today i haven't slept and i've forgotten how to write 8

[dapper rapids]

What in the english

Do you mean beating?

[bright slate]

no

most preds are d4 players who just play a lot with 3 stacks

[dapper rapids]

Man

Even if thats true

You gotta be grinding a shit load

As in eat sleep apex

[bright slate]

doesnt make them good.

[floral plume]

how do I learn movement

;c

[tight totem]

play game while thinking about it

and doing it

obv

[bright slate]

by not doing it

[alpine trail]

whats the recommended sens range?

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 44.4056 cm/360°

[alpine trail]

also what is ur ads multiplier?

[bright slate]

like 20-34 is rec sens

[alpine trail]

oh

so mine is high?

[bright slate]

low

[alpine trail]

huh

mine is 44

[alpine trail]

.

[bright slate]

yeah so its lower than the rec

small number=fast

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 25.9773 cm/360°

[alpine trail]

oh wait, is that i have to move my mouse 44 cm for a 360?

is that how it works?

[bright slate]

yeah

[alpine trail]

ohhhh ok

can u share ur sens and ads multiplier so i have like an idea of what ppl use

[floral plume]

whats a good cm360 for this game?

like avg or smthn

[bright slate]

20-34

Then ads multi is usually like 1.1

I thino

Id have to download the game to get my settings

[alpine trail]

aight

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 28.8636 cm/360°

Your sensitivity is 32.4716 cm/360°

[bright slate]

End of day play whats comfy

There are outliers

[alpine trail]

aight i js wanted to check what sens was in that range

[floral plume]

is ads supposed to be 1.0?

orr lower bertter

[alpine trail]

he said his is around 1.1

i always miss my shots with an r99 but with other guns not as much

[narrow swift]

https://www.reddit.com/r/apexuniversity/s/n07Z319Y1R

[bright slate]

that person deserves to be above gold

ye

real ranked system

[stiff hedge]

BRUHHHHHHH

thats way worse than i even thought it could be]

wtf

[stiff hedge]

that come down to preference id say

most people do just fine with defaulte settings for ads

ive not seen anyone go lower tho

[alpine trail]

how do improve my awareness

[stiff hedge]

ive played comfortably with as much as 50cm but youll probably feel better with something around 30cm

[alpine trail]

kk

[stiff hedge]

grinding

and playing with your brain turned on

not on autopilot

[floral plume]

bro this game hard asf DAMNNN

😭

[stiff hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/lock-in-locked-in-lock-tf-in-cat-cat-meme-gif-13335816645637017379

[stiff hedge]

theres a solution for that

https://tenor.com/view/dr-d-dr-disrespect-back-to-back-controller-aim-assist-gif-17321496

[alpine trail]

but i dont know what im supposed to think of

like what should be going through my mind

when im playing

[ornate gorge]

they should add solos back

[stiff hedge]

well if youre talking about awareness id say the main thing is being able to keep track of the enemies position as well as your teammates

so that youre able to aproach fights correctly

[stiff hedge]

imagine they added r5 style 1v1s

that would be nice

[ornate gorge]

too boring not a lot players would play it or get bored

[stiff hedge]

it'd be full of sweats for sure

so i guess it'd be rough for casuals

but also managing matchmaking for 1v1s should be way easier than any other mode

[floral plume]

bro this game

so hard

genuinely bro im so ass </3

How this mf flying around the map and im over here moving like a snail like man

this my first hour playong

i mean its fun ngl

feels like if overwatch and tf2 had a baby

[alpine trail]

Yea how exactly should I approach fights correctly, I always seem to get to greedy or stay too in the open and die

[alpine trail]

Same

[floral plume]

man i js needa play more

im alright at ow but daln

damn

[alpine trail]

Yea I need to play more aswell, I’m used to Val not BR games

[floral plume]

real

wanna play sometime if ur down

i cant wit solos rn

its like a horror game

or soloq i meant

this game lowky my fav rn but damn IM ASS

[stiff hedge]

well it probably depends on your play style

if you want to be agressive, the main thing would be being able to get a knock on the enmy team without getting knocked yourself

i dont wanna go more in depth cause im not the most experienced player myself but if youre new seeing what youre doing wrong and how to improve should be easier

[stiff hedge]

good call

[alpine trail]

Kk

[alpine trail]

Yea idm, I play on eu

[stiff hedge]

also watch apex vids

youll probably learn a lot from that

and its easy

[floral plume]

im like

new to apex on kbm

i played apex onroller but never kbm

and ts so hard

[floral plume]

im merica

[stiff hedge]

i mean if you follow the guides in here your aim will improve really quickly

i wish i knew aim trainers when i just started

[floral plume]

my aim is alrdy solid

600hrs deep and masters tracking mainly

just my movement so BUNS </3

IM RUNNING AROIND LIKE A BOT MAN

[stiff hedge]

oh thought you meant youu were new to mnk in general

[floral plume]

no new to mnk apex

like bro

apex bout hard as shit on mnk

[stiff hedge]

idk what you mean by move like a bot but as long as you can tap strafe and slide jump you shjould be fine

[bright slate]

apex easy baby gam

[stiff hedge]

fr

[floral plume]

idk slide jump

and strafing weird asf

cuz no cuz u telling me

this mf hit me with the COD YY movement into a wall run, into a long slide after landing onto a railing and then flying right into my face into another YY movement

like bro </3

[stiff hedge]

idk

it doesnt happen to me often

to see someone with overwhelmingly good moevemnt

[floral plume]

it was my first game on kbm too :(

like

damn

[bright slate]

not many people have crazy movement

[floral plume]

i got fuckin cooked

[bright slate]

a lot of people like to copy that lame tiktok movement

[floral plume]

like i got no excuses

he cooked me

💔

[floral plume]

wdym?

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-the-way-it-is-gif-23020408

[floral plume]

Nah it is a skill issue

i cant lie

he cooked the shit outta me

he hit me with the faide movement

💔

like if i learned the movement i'd def enjoy this game

cuz i rlly like the gun play

[stiff hedge]

learning movement is not that hard

its mostly doing a lot of reps unitl you get consistent with it

[floral plume]

i mean i guess

i could learn ig

how long u think itll take bc like

apex

[stiff hedge]

its mostly knowing how to implement the movement tech more than the difficulty of pulling it of

how long it takes is hard to say

[floral plume]

ohh oka

i mean

idm learning

this game genuinely so fun

[alpine trail]

Oh, ping is really high on America servers

[floral plume]

yeaaaa

how bad is movement on high asf ping

[alpine trail]

quite bad

i acc play on ME servers but no1 plays on ME so i js play on EU

ping isnt bad, only like 100

but for america it goes wayyyyy higher

i get 300, i js checked

where should i land in ranked?

[floral plume]

tilted towers

[floral plume]

awh hell na....

[stiff hedge]

Try everything and choose what you like more

Although ita nice landing somewhere where at least 1 other team lans so you practice earñy fights

[floral plume]

what part of the map is like

beginner friendly

cuz bro

i land i die

💔

i havent played brs since like old fn

[stiff hedge]

I dont think theres one

Obviously landing where a lot of people land is not very recomendable

[floral plume]

what ab like

an unnamed spot

like

a weird ass building in the middle of nowhere

[alpine trail]

yup

[alpine trail]

yea same

last time i played a br was fn chapter 2 or 3

isnt it like chapter 6 or sm now

[bright slate]

last time i played fn was when tilted was new

[stiff hedge]

Well its certainly safe but loot is very important too

[alpine trail]

bro ts game pmo

i land and i keep dyin

i can never get kills

what the fuck bro

lemme live bruh

[stiff hedge]

Also youll have to fight eventually so youre just making the cycle longer before dying xd

[floral plume]

REALLLL

like bro

im so ass </3

[floral plume]

i mean

i'd like to get to top 70

before getting fucked

[stiff hedge]

Lobbies are 60 xd

[floral plume]

ohhh

i thought it was 100

wtf

damn

[stiff hedge]

Maybe your problem is playing pubs

Ranked is a lot more chill

Ironically

[floral plume]

i mean

aint there smurfs

im def max silver

LMFAO

[floral plume]

i thought i could learn pubs man ;-;

[stiff hedge]

Not toocmany

[alpine trail]

so i should play ranked and not pubs??

tf

[stiff hedge]

Some people like pubs, i find it extremly painful

[stiff hedge]

Id say so

Pubs matchmakin is just painful

At least in ranked its quite decent

[floral plume]

mannn okkk

so should I js like

do rlly bad in ranked

and js play ranked to practice ig

OH WAIT

DIDNT THEY ADD

BOT ROYALE?? YOOOOO

[stiff hedge]

I guess thats an option

I dont see the vision tho

[floral plume]

i could learn movement maybeee

wym

[stiff hedge]

Oh it should be fine for that

[alpine trail]

alright

i have an exam tom but apex is my priority

should i unlock ash next?

[severe canyon]

wtf

[floral plume]

and prolly learn to aim in this game

cuz damn

im still ass

is apex worth getting good at?

ir shoud i js

[severe canyon]

The bots only strafe one direction and on occasion don’t strafe so it’s probably not very good practice

[floral plume]

braindead play it

[floral plume]

i mean learn my own movement around the map

bc erm

i get fucked upon landing

[severe canyon]

That’s more of a decision making thing

Less movement

[floral plume]

man

but also i move like a bot

which makes it no fun

[severe canyon]

I mean what are you lacking in

Pretty much all you need is slide jumps and a basic knowledge of tap strafing

[alpine trail]

man i got 1k damage but my fuckass teammate decides to run to the other fkin side of ring and when i try to help i die aswell

[floral plume]

everything man

i havent played brs in so long

and i get put into lobbies with 4k badges

like damn alright shit

[severe canyon]

But I’d say it’s unlikely your movements the problem, your probably just not moving through cover correctly

Like you don’t need to have flashy movement to be good in anyway

[floral plume]

nah bro

im ass

its like

i played a tdm also and it was fun

3-15 tho

</3

[alpine trail]

https://youtu.be/vidg3xGAAXg

the 1k dmg game

https://youtu.be/x__sqoXATzA

i played this1 horribly i js wanna know how i can fix that

and what i should be specifically working on

[severe canyon]

Play the head glitch

[storm mural]

When you're dropping from the ship, you can look around more to see where nearby enemies are landing. If you have one team nearby, you basically have a guaranteed fight, so loot up quickly (you took a couple seconds to open a bin in Phase Shifter, you didn't hit the loot cache in the middle, your team didn't really spread out enough to loot up two weapons quickly). If you have two or more, it's a question of who fights first—because either way, both teams just end up dead, and the one that joined the fight last wins by default (your resets are very slow from the first video, you will get wiped; you took a shield core 1 out of 3 times). Loot priority is a big thing; you don't recognize items very quickly, and you don't know what goes with what. CAR doesn't really need a 1–2x, a 1x HCOG will do (you can run either on it, but you kept switching like you weren't sure what fit you). In general, priority goes to extended magazines, big heals (medkits and shield batteries, you can get away with phoenix kits in these lobbies sometimes), ammo, and whatever you might need (like a couple nades). Filter out first by color: blue, purple, gold, and red are an automatic pickup, just drop it later from your inventory if you don't need it or won't run it (like a gold shotgun bolt, most people don't run shotguns this season). There's large enough timespans where you can idly check inventory.

In general: run 1 stack of medkits (2 by default, 3 with gold bag) and syringes (6 in a stack), run 1–3 stacks of shield cells (6–18), run however many spots of shield batteries you can (2 per slot, 3 with gold bag; it's okay to drop down to 1 stack of shield cells if you need space for shield batteries), ammo should be about half your backpack (depends on your loadout and if you have Ballistic for infinite ammo in fights; he's useful for running Devotion since it hogs ammo). You don't use your abilities a lot, you could have Bloodhound scanned when Octane pinged enemies

And out yourself in an advantageous position instead of so far out in the open where an Ash snared you and you were besieged by two arc stars.

Playing the stairs so that you can dodge nades and abilities or positioning yourself either further left or right of Octane for more angles (line of sight / LOS) so you can hit the enemy team whenever you feel like.

Having multiple angles on enemies is very useful in fights.

As another point, when running CAR, you can prioritize light ammo since it has the biggest stacks. You can upgrade it on both light and heavy arsenals. It's a good weapon for contests and later zones since the ring gets pretty small. In the meantime you need something for long range like the Nemesis or R301.

Your slide jumps are pretty weird, you halt it immediately as you start it. Watch a couple Apex videos or Apex streamers to see how long they hold and slide and when they jump.

Basically just jump when you're about to slow down for maximum distance traversal.

Might want to hit some more tracking scenarios in Kovaak's too, the tracking is a bit shaky, especially at the start (do some reactive tracking scenarios).

[alpine trail]

I don’t understand the first part, should I be taking fights faster?

[alpine trail]

Alright, I don’t have Kovaak’s tho, does Aim labs work?

[alpine trail]

Oh ok, alright

[alpine trail]

How do I know how to position better in like these specific cases?

[storm mural]

Looting faster so you're prepared for fights. In the case of one team, you can just go in on them immediately, just try to have height or a good headglitch. In the case of more teams, try to stay out of first fights, you're bound to lose those and get cleaned up by whoever fights last.

[storm mural]

Anything works so long as it forces steadier aim on you.

[alpine trail]

Alright

Thanks

[storm mural]

A lot of it comes down to experience. If you downed one guy while shooting from the stairs, you could move up to that pillar, but you didn't manage to get a knock and you were in a relatively exposed part so they could nade you for free. Look to identify spots with good cover or nasty headglitches so people basically can't shoot you but you can peek them however you like.

Wide cover, really tall cover, cover where you can reposition to other spots, etc.

[alpine trail]

Is this the second game?

[alpine trail]

Alright, I’ll keep that in mind

[storm mural]

You can also play some more forgiving characters like Wraith for her tactical or Ash for dashing away.

[storm mural]

Yeah it's for the ranked game.

[alpine trail]

Yea im gonna unlock ash next

[alpine trail]

Kk

[storm mural]

A Bangalore player can smoke there, for example, so you can move back to the house.

She's also got the movement passive when someone shoots your way.

As general advice, try to isolate fights instead of fighting whole teams (this went decently in the first match you linked), don't shoot without cover (you need to watch out for this), and don't expose yourself to too many teams if you're trying to hold a spot (this is more for ranked).
