apex

[pale mesa]

someone tell me what's wrong with my aim why am i so ass

[oak veldt]

i only saw up to the g7 one cuz my game loaded but i spam my g7 shots more

mb i have a decent trigger finger tho

[proud hollow]

1v1 on the actual apex game is ass compared to r5 tf

[alpine trail]

Man first season and ur p4😔

[oak veldt]

i play pubs normally tho

thats prob why

all i can do is aim ig

[ocean flame]

https://youtube.com/shorts/TnEoKZ7YeZo?si=S4HUgNHJR0SPE6Jx

[pale mesa]

my aim still the same tho 😔

[proud hollow]

the one that apex has

5 mins only

and you only get

like

6 matches in total

instead of 50

you need to wait for an opponent first and stuff

[oak veldt]

is r5 worth playing? i only play this game for fun, ive never "tried" to improve

[ocean flame]

its 14-15

[proud hollow]

what

hell nah

[ocean flame]

they messed this up so badly but i bet it will be so nice after some fixes

[proud hollow]

i do not get 14-15 matches in 5 mins

[pale mesa]

look at vid i sent thats all from one session

[ocean flame]

what?

[pale mesa]

or one "match"

I didn't count so idk

[ocean flame]

there are 14 duels every match

unless youre hiding or something

[alpine trail]

fair enoug

h

[ocean flame]

cant believe they chose to put fat legends in rhe 1v1s, every gun, and long range maps with short range guns

every possible thing that couldve went wrong did when they were designing it

im optimistic of when they fix it tho

when u actually get to run smgs the live game is so diff from r5

way better

[alpine trail]

bro i keep dying man

cant live for 2 second

s

[proud hollow]

ikr

it's just terrible

r5 has much more of a skill gap too

they even decided to put akimbo p2020s and devotions, very cool display of skill !

[ocean flame]

yea no matchmaking in duels is absurd

do people enjoy 1v1ing worse players

like in terms of fun factor

[oak veldt]

people that wanna clip ig

[pale mesa]

im the worst player in the lobbies so it's only positives for me

[lapis moat]

some of these are pretty bad strafing

2:05 is bad

notice how you were pretty much on the same spot of the map for the entire fight

it takes very little effort for the enemy (especially if they are on roller) to hit every shot since they can just underaim

[pale mesa]

u think i will get more out of breaking bad strafing habits than 100% focusing on aim?

i watched the clip back yea that looks atrocious, what's the "correct" way to strafe there?

same left right left right strafe but hold each direction longer?

[lapis moat]

its gonna take too long to type out how to dodge and stuff

https://youtu.be/o7D-9KaT2fQ?si=XCJcO-xVHp4aTsUy

here

[pale mesa]

thank you brother

[lapis moat]

watching this back i actually changed my mind on some of the stuff i said but the overall vid is still ok

[pale mesa]

the bias thing is goated advice actually wtf i didn't focus much on aim just 100% trying to break my A D A D A D habit and tried to strafe to one direction only with random stops inbetween and it's crazy how much longer i live in the aim fights

some horrible aim and dead sliding in some of these clips tho so be ready to cringe

[lapis moat]

glad to help

just keep in mind that if you hold a bias for too long that also becomes readable for the enemy

[tight totem]

he be biasing

[pale mesa]

what is best r5 servers for being good apex gunfight

[muted moss]

no way

[lapis moat]

NA karma

[pale mesa]

im live in apac

[lapis moat]

theres a japan server but people arent very good on there

[storm mural]

It just shows the highest-ranked squad member's badge now, so when you see 20 Plats, you could also have 40 Gold and Silver players in your lobby.

[pale mesa]

yeah i saw the japan server it was the best ping i had so i'm forced to use it but it helps you get used to the gunfighting in apex 👍 your tips helped as well

i mostly played valorant and the info in apex comes rushing in so fast and it barely happens in a real BR match so you don't get to get used to it, so many muzzle flashes, 5 different danger indicators, enemy tracers, your own tracers, etc.

[alpine trail]

does any1 know how to fix connection timed out code leaf
no solution i found has yet to work

it didnt happen back then

[shrewd pollen]

for first thing rewatch ur gameplay and think what u could done differently in these situations and more important find people to play together

[shrewd pollen]

if u wanna play on r5 dont play cover plz

[pale mesa]

whut

[shrewd pollen]

usually on r5 u just swing out

[vague karma]

should i buy a glass pad?

[alpine trail]

Kk, my outplayed is glitched rn, what do u guys use to record vods?

[tight totem]

for fun yes

for improvement no

[pale mesa]

obs

why r5 no CAR

[shrewd pollen]

amd adrenalin

kinda sucks sometimes but its okay

[twilit flicker]

just use obs

its best

[wintry cypress]

Nvidia instant replay and if thats not working for a certain game i use OBS

[oak veldt]

oh i see, i thought it was like the squad avg but close enough

[alpine trail]

kk

[alpine trail]

do i need an amd graphics card?

i have nvidia

[alpine trail]

ill try out obs

[alpine trail]

bet bet bet

[wintry cypress]

its a pain in the ass to setup tbh

encoding lag is also a thing

[alpine trail]

oh ok

ill still try it

also how much is high ping?

[polar iris]

watching crewsn makes me believe that i too can be rank 1

[twilit flicker]

pred is easy

[polar iris]

just need to put in 400 hours in one season

[twilit flicker]

just be unemployed an d roller

[polar iris]

nah i want rank 1

[stiff hedge]

yes

only problem is having to clean it and the skates every 10 mins

[twilit flicker]

glass is shit

raiden best

[stiff hedge]

i want a raiden but im poor atm

i like glass but i dont have a good point of comparison

[cedar wigeon]

U can use anything for apex just play ballistic and devo and you are good to go

Ngl words cant describe what i feel for ballistic players

[stiff hedge]

u dont need to

we all know

[cedar wigeon]

Its good that i am not alone 😭 🫂

[ocean flame]

if you guys just played ranked instead of whenever you played pubs youd probably be pred

[mental ridge]

i played 1000 games of diamond lobbies in 1 season didnt hit master

solo qeue is tough

d1 is all i achieved

[stiff hedge]

i would have killed my self if i had done that

[stiff hedge]

same

[twilit flicker]

solo q is torture

[stiff hedge]

my favorite

[tight totem]

just dont take it too serious

ive always had the mentality of ranked being pubs

kind of

[ocean flame]

ranked is just a more fun version of pubs

[shrewd pollen]

yep, in case u can use nvdia instant or obs like they said

[shrewd pollen]

if u wanna hold it sure

[stiff hedge]

i just play for the mechanics nowadays but i still get tilted if my teammates throw every single game tho, its just not enjoyable at all if you keep getting fucked by matchmaking

[tight totem]

i play with worse players all the time u just gotta try and focus on yourself

respectfully

and yea i play for mechanics too

[stiff hedge]

i mean its ok if theyre worse but it can be too bad sometimes xd

like youre just playing no fill trios sometimes

[alpine trail]

GUYS

I DID IT

2K DAMAGE

IN A RANKED GAME

HALLELUJAH

i used rampage a lot so doesnt feel very deserved

but still

[alpine trail]

kk thnx

[quaint karma]

what rank

[bronze belfry]

silver 3 i am can u carry me pls uwu

[tight totem]

🤨

[molten rampart]

Don't diminish 😄

[ocean flame]

rainbow

bet theres even some golds they arent showing in here

[dull falcon]

aim montagges are so inspirational man

[dull falcon]

just give me the pred badge at this point

[ocean flame]

nah on the fr ranked has been hitting diff this split

i saw 15 pred teams in 1 lobby yesterday

actually great

[alpine trail]

its gold but still

im new

[oak veldt]

ranked feels tough currently

maybe i just ranked up too fast

[oak veldt]

omg hi long time no see

[pale mesa]

who's a good apex streamer/pro to watch that isn't flashy and relies mostly on good gunfighting hygiene, positioning and smart reads instead of movement and hyper aggressiveness?

[twilit flicker]

https://www.twitch.tv/dokiww

[alpine trail]

im not thegreatest but ive gotten so much better

80% of the time i get purple evo

acc like 60-70%

but bfore i would never get purple evo

last game i got 7 knocks

but i couldnt thirst

i only got 3 kil;s

and 4 assists

[lapis moat]

W glaze

[twilit flicker]

i got u unc ❤️

[alpine trail]

7 kills 1.4k dmg

rampage is too op

i need to stop using it

i feel gay

guys what upgrades for ash

should i take chraged knock or extra ult

[mental ridge]

that thing aint op

try a devotion

[tight totem]

colorful

[alpine trail]

trust

its op

[alpine trail]

ive tried

its good aswell

i didnt get a devo tho

also it feels very no skill

both of them

[mental ridge]

nah its fine imo

[alpine trail]

damn

[quaint karma]

what up

where you been

[bright slate]

rampage feels strong imo

decent poke + its hard to lose fights while its heated up

[outer sleet]

Yo if I upload a vod would anyone care to check it out for me please? I didn't make it to masters unfortunately, and although most of the points I lost out on probably came from aiming bad I feel like it would be important to see if I make any like reoccuring mistakes in my positioning and such

so ye

[vague karma]

no shot

way too much damage, hip fire accuracy and it can break doors

[mental ridge]

only 190dps

[bright slate]

its mid tier without therm

[mental ridge]

if u move well its a doable 1v1

[vague karma]

it has insane poke though thats almost 190dps all ranges

i just dislike all lmgs

crutches for bad players shouldn’t be meta

[wary viper]

i remember i was watching a youtuber, and he was playing in like a free for all, where all enemies are Wraith. and upon a kill he regens instantly

does anyone know what im talking about?

[quaint karma]

probably old r5 ffa video

[wary viper]

i think so yea

[wintry cypress]

Yea sounds like it

R5 FFA was so fire

Honestly better than the actual game

[oak veldt]

here and there, semi active

wbu

[twilit flicker]

whats the meta rn

[bright slate]

devo

i htink its still ash ball alter

[twilit flicker]

i havent played in months

and i come back to devo meta

zzz

[bright slate]

i think so

idk

i have >100 games since s16

[storm mural]

Mozams made a comeback thanks to the accelerator being on them now.

Ash is somehow even more meta if anything.

Since she now has a shorter dash cooldown (8s compared to 10s before, but she no longer has a perk option of extra dash) and two ult charges at blue shields (skirmisher perk is also an ok choice); the tactical viability of a shorter dash cooldown in a fight vastly outpaces the nerf. They called it a rebalance but tbh it stifles the viability of choosing other legends.

Ballistic was slightly nerfed but not enough to really get dethroned.

[alpine trail]

i forget to heat it up most of the time

but do u guys feel like its kinda no skill>

*?

[alpine trail]

ash ball alter?

[bright slate]

ballistic

[alpine trail]

ahh ok

so its like their best gun?

[twilit flicker]

its braindead af

[wary viper]

was? i was thinking of downloading it

[wary viper]

yes she does

ash can dash twice

when leveled up (in battle royale)

[storm mural]

It's been removed my guy.

Try reading patch notes or playing the game.

Upgrades: Level 3

Ghost in the Machine: removed
Greedy Snare and Twin Snares: moved to Level 3

Dev Notes: We want to re-balance Ash this season by tamping down some of the parts of her kit that are frustrating to play against, while preserving the fun of dashing around the battlefield. Lowering the base cooldown of her dash will hopefully offset losing double-dash. In addition, swapping her Level 2 and Level 3 upgrades will bring her double Ult charge upgrade to earlier in the match, keeping you and your team mobile.

[mental ridge]

idk why youre getting nerd emojid by @oak veldt kinda l move by him ngl

[storm mural]

Best part is the option to play the game is right there

There's also a million Apex streamers who just go in the firing range to test out patch changes

[mental ridge]

yeah or people who read patchnotes

imagine nerd emojing somebody on a game specific chanel on a AIM DISCORD everybody who joins here is a nerd

[stiff hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/nerd-nerd-emoji-gif-1712163874519931175

[tight totem]

devotion is actually fun

idk if i have brain damage

i love the fact that you can TS with it

and ash is fun to shoot

the Q is pretty annoying, so is ballistic Q

[storm mural]

Devo is fun, the unfun part is half the lobby focusing on you with a Devo

[stiff hedge]

exactly

[tight totem]

thats a self report on game sense

[storm mural]

It's when it becomes meta that a weapon becomes hated

[tight totem]

it isss what it issss

make the most out of it

but yea i could do without these mf electrified doors offdrop tho

[stiff hedge]

they went too far with that

[storm mural]

At least you have the option to open them (and die), Cat is still better for holding buildings

[alpine trail]

yessir

i suck ass with close range weapons tho

the large mag and high damage makes it so easy to use

[alpine trail]

what upgrade should i choose now for ash

[storm mural]

Whichever you want, it's pretty much all viable

I prefer extra port at blue and greedy snare at purple but all her perks are decent

[oak veldt]

cuz i thought it was funny

not that deep

https://tenor.com/view/you-cannot-ragebait-me-heart-twitter-reaction-gif-cat-gif-16396486465647525728

[oak veldt]

🤓

[storm mural]

Bro already attained inner peace with aim training

[oak veldt]

So much so that i dont even aim train anymore

https://tenor.com/view/aneurysm-hhhhomeboyyyy-kings-dark-tidings-saga-by-kel-kade-reaperleviathan-head-explode-gif-11477089642801859131

[wary viper]

WHAT

i play everyday!

didnt realize ig

[oak veldt]

its ok i told my friend who mains ash the same thing last night

also ash now heals off knocks?

[wary viper]

so is R5 FFA still on?

[wary viper]

bro i thought i was tripping

[oak veldt]

she too good

[wary viper]

lol

[oak veldt]

i genuenly think u need an ash in every stack now

[storm mural]

That's a blue perk

Two ports or skirmisher healing

[oak veldt]

skirm is prob the way then

[storm mural]

Legit she just has good options for her perks

[wary viper]

yes no?

[oak veldt]

also ngl alter having sup perk is also p nice

[storm mural]

I'm not sure she has any perk that is outright bad

[oak veldt]

yeah

just a good character

[wary viper]

when i watch youtube clips (sometimes) of a good aimer in apex i always see them and the other person strafing insanely fast

how do i do this

[dull falcon]

Huh

What do you mean?

[ornate gorge]

Sped up clip

Or playing diff rez

Probably different resolution

[vague karma]

i would put money on the fact 99% of the people who aim train are on the spectrum lol

[vague karma]

probably 4:3

especially if you're also watching on 4:3 it makes it way more stretched

[dull falcon]

Im on 43 but it fucks up parts of the ui

Like the legend select screen (lobby) u cant see the bottom row of legends)

[mental ridge]

friendly fire nerd

[vague karma]

yeah

it's unfixable i think

just set building_cubemaps "0"

50 hp on knock is OP imo

[vague karma]

don't other legends get syphon on knock?

[dull falcon]

been gampbling for a good pull on shadoverse for days now

[wary viper]

when i fight while on low hp i panic so much and my tension spikes

any advice?

[elder kayak]

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

someone check my aim

[alpine trail]

Yea that’s what I was thinking but an extra ult is quite useful aswell so I didn’t know what to choose

[wary viper]

how often do you back away from a fight

[glossy apex]

I think you just need to play more

You’ll get more comfortable with more reps

The more you are in that situation the better you’ll handle it

And just stop caring

If you die, you die

Re queue

Take that pressure off

When you die, you wanna be able to look at why you died and find something to improve on. If you die a lot because you’re stressing and panicking, it’s not as easy to realize if you only died because of that or because it was a bad play

[glossy apex]

All skirimisher legends

[twilit flicker]

this game is getting so much ability bloat

[alpine trail]

most of the time i cant

cuz i die

[glossy apex]

It’s becoming overwatch

[twilit flicker]

ye

we really dont need these role passives

and perks

its like the devs forgot what make apex stand out from other shooters

[inner linden]

this chat ...

[inner linden]

play r5

[elder kayak]

i have played a lot but couldn't find what im doing wrong

[fresh slate]

hi guys sup im back in apex after 2 years obv i need back aimtraining, feeling bad vs rollers getting beamed often, how is the real situation ? just i need my aim back or them are dominating the scene?

[ornate gorge]

Strafe gap

Gamesense gap

aim gap

[bright slate]

long strafes are king

[ornate gorge]

no strafe is king

Ur confusing ur opponent cause they expect u to move

So dont move

👍

[bright slate]

tap a d strafing

super canca

[glossy apex]

Fast strafes do nothing against aim assist

Just looks like you’re standing still

You gotta do long strafes to move out of the magnetic field

AA still reacts instantly to direction changes tho so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just superglide tapstrafe over them into a fatigue wall bounce then yuki strafe all while beaming them with a devo

Cuz MnK gets movement for free according to roller players so everyone here should be able to do that

[wary viper]

i had a stroke reading this

[bright slate]

i think ill just

200-0 them with flatline

at 300 meters

thjanks

[vague karma]

you're probably committing to each fight

don't commit unless you're sure it's like an 80/20 you win

unless you need the space

[twilit flicker]

most rollers are trash

[wary viper]

fr?? i commit always. how do you make sure?

[shrewd pollen]

they nerf aa last year so its "ok" rn

[alpine trail]

If I had decent teammates, I would win most fights

Cuz in a fight, unless I’m playing really dumb in the open, I can usually knock one and either knock another or get an assist

[plain pond]

grind out R5

[alpine trail]

But most of the time

My teammates are dead before they can knock 1

And I try to thirst so I don’t lose too much rp and for evo but sometimes I can’t

[vague karma]

be confident in knowing what you can do

like if i crack one i know i can most likely knock them and maybe crack another before either getting downed if i commit or i can run back to playing with my team

i wouldn't go for a dive into the middle of them expecting to 1v3

[twilit flicker]

ye

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 45.3571

[ornate gorge]

u should three stack

Solo queuing puts u at a big disadvantage

also hella boring cause ur teammates usually are looting 3/4 of the game

[main merlin]

I fear apex not my game

[delicate quest]

we have valorant

[vague karma]

is there actually any point in pasu?

i feel like most of the intermediate bench mark scenarios are harder than their in game equivalent is

[golden sphinx]

thats how it should be

[vague karma]

but pasu is just so easy compared to playing mcree ashe or using the wing man

[golden sphinx]

ohh truee

same with that other variant

[vague karma]

i feel like the score thresholds should be the same but with a harder task

[vague karma]

which one?

[golden sphinx]

pasu angelic

[vague karma]

i don't think i've ever played that

[golden sphinx]

i played it doing the viscose benchmarks

[vague karma]

the bots are so horizontal

it feels like starclick

[golden sphinx]

yeahh i like it tho fun to play

[vague karma]

yeah dynamic is just a fun scenario type

[vague karma]

what rank did you get?

on the benchmarks

[golden sphinx]

i got saffron 😭

but i only have one saffron score

[vague karma]

i'm not even like an 8th done

[golden sphinx]

idk why but i suck at air pure intermediate

[vague karma]

i'm shit at all the ufo / air scenarios

[golden sphinx]

oh wait just noticed i have a few saffron scores

the one i was talking about is vermillion

[bright slate]

whisphere is evil

[golden sphinx]

i hate it so much

the rawcontrol one is fine but normal is like it does everything it can to ruin your run if you're on pb pace

[vague karma]

i like it

it's ass for score grinding though

[golden sphinx]

it constantly goes above or below me

[vague karma]

four fucking times

[golden sphinx]

oof that similar to my air pure intermediate lol

all my scores are around the same

tho not exactly

[vague karma]

nah i got the x=y-2 type graph

exact same score 4 times

[golden sphinx]

just pb and got saffron complete

[vague karma]

n1

[golden sphinx]

gonna change my skates to the artisan skates

[vague karma]

why is the bow even in the game bro

[median condor]

whats a good goal for aim skill for a typical masters player in apex? diamond/jade in certain aim categories?

[hushed forge]

jade tracking and youre good

Ive just barely scraped plat tracking and I hit diamond pretty easily

could prolly go for masters if I locked in and grinded but thats effort

if youre jade tracking thats more than enough

[median condor]

k that's the goal then xD

[hushed forge]

then youll need to worry more about macro and gamesense

[bright slate]

i was masters before i got gold

[hushed forge]

you could even get away w diamond if you have really good macro and a 3 stack

not even a 3 stack

[median condor]

ive hit diamond since s15 but the amount of duels ive lost cause sometimes just comes down to aim is pretty demoralizing

[hushed forge]

Im scraping plat and 2/3 stacking go me to diamond

😭

[bright slate]

you can get masters with mediocre macro soloq

🤷‍♂️

[hushed forge]

yeah

jade tracking, decent movement and a decent understanding of macro

you can hit master

soloq

[bright slate]

you def dont need jade tracking

[median condor]

we're you taking lots of fights or just going to zone for placement? cause idk how youre just gold then

[hushed forge]

or diamond

yeah

also depends on playstyle and what guns you like tbh

[median condor]

i only soloq and ive always hit a wall at like d3. sure some of it is macro/micro decisions but man everyone... literally everyone has better aim than me

it sucks

[hushed forge]

if you abuse shit like g7 scout and devotion you definitely dont need good aim

[bright slate]

i was usually going for 10kp then playing zone

other way

[median condor]

im more of a flatline player

[bright slate]

masters apex gold vt

[median condor]

10kp is crazy to me

[hushed forge]

flatlines difficulty js comes from recoil icl

when I see people laser at mid-long range w 3x sight I cry 😭

fuckass recoil on that gun

[median condor]

ya im pretty decent with the flatline at range. the close 1v1s is usually where i get shredded. like r99, p20, car

[bright slate]

3x is tough

icl

2x4 is the babe

[hushed forge]

I can barely do midrange on a 2x w flatline

[median condor]

3x is bis

[hushed forge]

I have like 20% accuracy with that shit

😭

maybe less

[bright slate]

i wish i had my clip

of me 200-0 someone at 300

[hushed forge]

r99 you need good aim icl

the gun doesnt have enough ammo and shoots too fast for you to miss more than a few bullets

[median condor]

idk i ju7st want better aim than my opponents in close duels. i want to stop dying cause an enemy decides to wide swing or i need to clean up a team cause i have a positional edge but fuck up my aim badly

[median condor]

ya true

[hushed forge]

honestly its not even about raw aim a lot of the time

[median condor]

volt i think is more forgiving but idk

[hushed forge]

movement reading is most important

[bright slate]

just manifest hollow inside you

perfect antimirror + aim

[median condor]

i have noticed doing some reactive tracking that im more locked in with my eyes on target

[hushed forge]

brooo

perfect antimirror aim clips are so satisfying to watch 😭

perfect mirror as well

esp overwatch ones

[hushed forge]

thats what it should be

[bright slate]

do some eye warmups

[median condor]

i just need more time doing it ig

[hushed forge]

the targets gonna be big enough where your crosshair in peripheral is fine

reading the target is way more important

[vague karma]

you're moving your mouse less so the target is easier to see

[median condor]

and doing tracking/dynamic scenarios (maybe r5 1v1) is a good way to do more movement reading training im guessing

[bright slate]

yeah

[hushed forge]

I hate r5 1v1s so much

[bright slate]

r5 is hit/miss

[median condor]

r5 feels completely different

to live

[hushed forge]

last time I played I kept getting put against some fuckass kid with his neostrafe autoexecs

[bright slate]

you either get rollers who cant strafe

mnks who cant strafe

[median condor]

is my problem. the hitbox on wraith in r5 is so unforgiving / whack

[bright slate]

or movement geeks

[hushed forge]

like the shit he was doing is genuinely impossible to do legit

theres physically no way he could press as many buttons as he was

[bright slate]

yeah

glad they torched those

[hushed forge]

oh yeah bro just casually 100% accuracy neostrafing while outaiming me as well

nah bro Im sure hes neostrafing legitly while tracking me through the air n shi

fuckass server man never playing that 1v1 again 😭

[median condor]

well maybe my first goal is to try and get gold complete s3 and then branch off into a little more tracking speciality

[storm mural]

Simply the optimal Apex player

[hushed forge]

😭

20 other people in the server btw

I got him almost every single time

the game was ragebaiting me so hard

[bright slate]

playing vs koyful sucks so much

[median condor]

lmfao

[hushed forge]

whos koyful

[bright slate]

he just out damages you no matter how well you are moving

pro player

[median condor]

i saw him a lot about a year agoi when the pros were really getting into r5

[hushed forge]

oh

[bright slate]

very very good roller

[hushed forge]

just shoot him lowkey

[hushed forge]

roller 💔

[bright slate]

just watch him

id say his top5

[median condor]

but ya this is where im at right now. the past week i was working o nreactive and that got me gold there pretty easily ig. i just gotta put the time in

[hushed forge]

Im watching clips of him rn

bro 😭

ref do something wtf 😭

[inner linden]

nova astra

[vague karma]

also at least celestial tracking

nvidia drivers bro

every time i install they fuck something up

[visual bluff]

i present to you all the worst grandmaster of all time

play static and dont be like me

[visual bluff]

i dont update my drivers for at least like 2 weeks when new ones come out i have zero trust in nvidia at this point quality has SLIPPED

[hushed forge]

ref 😭

ref do something 😭

[visual bluff]

it looks illegal doesnt it

[bright slate]

go get rawcontrol nova noob

[hushed forge]

it does

[visual bluff]

ill think about it

[hushed forge]

only 4 scores and gm 😭

[visual bluff]

if my static was a touch better i could have done it without the gm score in evasive too

[hushed forge]

bro you gotta get that dotts score

dotts is so free istg

[visual bluff]

i dont really practice much besides tracking at this point so i dont care much to go and do anything beyond what i need for gm

[hushed forge]

lmao fair

[oak veldt]

small ass skill disti

like is the game dead

[visual bluff]

If the skill distribution is small doesn't that mean the matchmaking did a good job finding players is similar skill
I don't understand the issue

[oak veldt]

im bad

thats why

[visual bluff]

Are you soloq pubs and getting insane teammates who carry you?

[oak veldt]

no im just playing with irls, we all get ab the same amount of kills so im not being carried

[visual bluff]

i wouldnt worry about it much then the skill graph is kinda bs anyway

[oak veldt]

yeah i dont usually like pay attention to it i just find it silly that we have been getting these small graphs

[alpine trail]

How tf do u control flatline recoil

That shit goes sideways

[visual bluff]

learn recoil smoothing
also practice shooting faraway targets in the firing range and u will get the hang of it

[lapis moat]

• learn the counter strafes

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

[elder kayak]

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

Can someone check my VOD and tell me why my aim is so bad

[tight totem]

lot of overcorrecting

and ur not moving ur mouse sometimes

and ur not countering your strafe withn your aim

[elder kayak]

so you mean my aim and movement dont sync well ?

[tight totem]

yea

[pale mesa]

is it even worth it to practice aim for apex

even on PC servers everytime i get killed it's 95% of the time a controller player

[tight totem]

yea practice so u won't get killed by them

😂 😂 😂 😂

?????????

[hushed forge]

no just play on controller

[pale mesa]

https://redd.it/1azzuch have u seen this

[narrow swift]

still complaining abt aa in 2025 💔

[pale mesa]

im pretty new to apex so i haven't been there for the conversations about aa throughout the years

[narrow swift]

its been nerfed to .3

[pale mesa]

since the making of the post i linked? oh okay that's good then

[narrow swift]

that chart was from when aa was .4

[pale mesa]

might just be the raw amount of controller players in PC lobbies so that's why i notice it's controller players killing me (since they're the only POV you get to see besides your teammates/your own)

is it like 60% controller players 40% mnk on pc lobbies?

[tight totem]

this might be the most posted apex image

[narrow swift]

prolly 🤷 , for me best way i stopped caring abt aa is that if they killed i was
shit
braindead
bad gamesense and move on

gg go next ez pz

[pale mesa]

that's good mental and probably the best way to go about it i guess

i only recently started to look into it because if there's any way to gain an advantage over the enemy that's not cheating then i'm game to study and adapt, probably the #1 reason i aim train is to aim diff opponents not really go for highscores in scenarios

has anyone here switched from mnk to controller and seen improvements? probably gonna be no one because voltaic aimtrain server but who knows

[narrow swift]

@quaint karma

[tight totem]

idk about here but theres plenty of ppl who've done it and gained improvements

loads of examples in pro league

but u can aim diff people

rollers might be like 90 accurate but there are times where they miss and if u supposedly train to be really good, u can NOTMISS when they miss

and then u gap the roller

with mnk

also r5 is r5

apex is apex

[elder kayak]

So how do i fixed this

[tight totem]

try to underaim

syncing movement and aim to me is just more hours

u can alsoo always just aim train

and google how to fix x

[elder kayak]

Can you tell me any scenario in kovaaks

[tight totem]

controlsphere

maybe patstrafe is good for movement syncing idek

[elder kayak]

ok

[bright slate]

controlsphere far and cloverrawcontrol

[wintry cypress]

Recoil control ❌

[median condor]

i mean here is an updated post with .3 AA https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveApex/comments/1lkk8f6/accuracy_stats_between_controller_and/

literally from last week

what is interesting is the accuracy before and after the AA nerf didn't change all too drastically. old post shows like mid 30% accuracy and this shows low 30s. Mid roller players have as good of accuracy as top mnk.

[bright slate]

yeah

mid mnk players are handless abomns

ofc bad roller > mid mnk

[median condor]

mid roller = top mnk, top roller >> top mnk. tho is the point and the struggle. but still improvements mnk can make or change witht that info

[twilit flicker]

no

mid roller is not top mnk

[median condor]

just talking in terms of aim dueling

[twilit flicker]

yes

if u can strafe u win

[median condor]

true that's prolly where you can break a mid roller player. but how you go about out strafing im still unsure of how well that works.

[twilit flicker]

you have to dodge

because counter strafe is all rollers know

[median condor]

ive yet to practice my strafe all too much besides just keeping longer sorta strides with a few fakes

are you like activelly aware of where youre getting shot at during a strafe and dodging accordingly tho

that's where i dont understand. lot of computation to do at once if so and idont get it when im trying to focus on my aim and what the opponents are doing

so when people say dodge

means nothing to me atm

[twilit flicker]

yes

[median condor]

interesting...

[twilit flicker]

and pattern recognition of his strafe

its the hardest thing in strafe for me

[median condor]

are you actively aware of what your dodge is during an r99 spray shit is over so fast

i mean if you actively taking in that info ya i bet it is the hardest thing with strafe

[narrow swift]

just shoot more than them ooga booga

[median condor]

I will say 100% i've noticed times where i will change strafe direction and go right back into my enemy's bullets. where maybe if i held my strafe you'd still take dmg but less dps. that hasnt clicked subconcisouly tho

[twilit flicker]

u can but its really risky

[twilit flicker]

ye cuz you gotta unlearn the muscle memory

it takes really long to get good in strafing

[quaint karma]

what up

[vague karma]

you're joking bro what is that

[vague karma]

neither but every time i do update them they manage to reset all my settings in game

like what are you changing my sens for

[median condor]

never seen graphics drivers change in game settings. that sucks... but i also havent updated mine for my 4070ti in... checking... 8 months. maybe weird things with the new ones

[twilit flicker]

if it aint broke dont fix it

[alpine trail]

Kk

Hemlok is so nice to use but sometimes I forget that it’s not auto

And I have to press each time to shoot

[main merlin]

Time to regrind apex since im ass now

[bright slate]

just ape and shoot

simple

[main merlin]

Im just forcing 50/50s in ranked now.

If I lose to them having devo oh well

[visual bluff]

its grandmaster with only 4 scores that are above gm
tracking one trick go hard

[visual bluff]

turn off the auto optimize games settings in the nvidia app or whatever its called these days

[wintry cypress]

BRO 😭🙏

[mental ridge]

im surely not the only one that thinks that arena duels is just ass right ? stupid spawns and it takes way way to long they could have just copied r5 reloaded

[storm mural]

Yeah everyone already shit on it

[bright slate]

it should just be iso ult from val

[delicate quest]

please don’t mention valorant in this chat

poggy and wolf aren’t fans of that game

[mental ridge]

thank you

[bright slate]

yeah but at least its a good duel mech

[glossy apex]

finally plat complete

[median condor]

popshot gotta be the single most rage inducing benchmark ive experianced

[red scarab]

does anyone here know how apex mmr works in the quickplay mode??

when I que with friends we are center of the bellcurve

but when i solo'd accidently it put me at the fucking far end of it

and i'm so confused I never play without my friends

in ranked years ago I never got out of silver

[median condor]

it doesnt show the entire story but what's your kd / avg dmg ?

i believe for pubs the mmr of your team is avg'd where in rank it's the highest person's rank and mmr or something.

but if your k/d like 1 or higher than youd be surprised that is around average or a bit higher

[red scarab]

looks like my kd is 0.97

maybe it's my arcade stats taken into acc

all I know is I don't wanna be put into pred lobbies when i'm dog shit

[median condor]

well someones gotta feed the top players

[pale mesa]

is bangalore the play vs controller players cqc fights got way too fkn easy after abusing the smokes

[glossy apex]

shotguns and playing cover is the best roller counter

they can't beam you with aim assist if you pop in and out of cover only when you pump them for 96

but ye most of them don't know how to aim without aim assist

I feel like bang smokes are useless for the intended purpose now tho

[pale mesa]

much appreciate. need more of these tips. i play on jp servers and 99% are on pad bc everyone there started apex on console and switched to pc pad overtime

[pale mesa]

i think so too. but very useful even for midrange. i dont know if it is placebo but even mid-long range fights if i smoke myself and peek out just a little so i see the enemy i feel like their aim assist doesn't work because i win more fights that way (even with the self debuff of having a blurry ass target)

[glossy apex]

maybe, but if zone is behind the smoke they can see you through smoke clearly so it's useless late game ¯_(ツ)_/¯

ig it has some uses, but I think it's not worth playing bang over any other assult legend

[pale mesa]

wow is that so

[glossy apex]

they just have better abilities and passives

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVyA4gLQ8TI

like look at this

ig you can use it to your advantage too tho

but I've had teammate bangs try to smoke us to heal late game and we just die because everyone can see us still

[bright slate]

thats been a thing since the game came out

just smoke the enemy

[main merlin]

Kd 1.38 overall but this season its .75😭

[thorn swallow]

not a worse feeling than when your lfg with randoms and they dont listen to your call that wouldve won the game

[main merlin]

I took a year break so I'm not suprised. The only people left playing this game aren't casuals

Especially on pc

[thorn swallow]

i feel the opposite ngl

[main merlin]

Naw apex is full of sweats now.

[thorn swallow]

game feels easier after my break (skill base def kicked in im like 500 games in)

[main merlin]

Im just washed.

[thorn swallow]

u prob just gotta warm back up tbh

[bright slate]

lfg sucks so bad

[main merlin]

It does but some people are chill and soloq loneliness hurts

[vague karma]

why do ash players never ult when you ask

[tight totem]

gotta get into circles

sadly

[fair breach]

Standing there menacingly

[mental ridge]

healthbar is through the roof

[golden sphinx]

man the amount of times i have died because my team are just playing weird

and then i spectate them and they have their sens on like 12cm/360

and they just shake they mouse side to side when they shoot and pray they kill someone

like we knew where the team was and there was no one behind us and they just called in a res and my team are just looting or something so i get killed cause they are so unaware of whats going on

[devout zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-slayer-gif-26381601

[golden sphinx]

It's too fast for most people to track smoothly so their aim is very shaky and they often overshoot when trying to flick to a target

[mental ridge]

@wheat pawn tldr most people using 12cm look like a noob that doesn't know what they are doing

[vague karma]

they're also all playing 12 cm on like 800 dpi

[mental ridge]

yay we love pixel skipping

[vague karma]

this coffee is sending me to sleep

[elder kayak]

@tight totemHey bro, this is day 3 of me fixing the issue. Am I still making the same mistakes or am I improving? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPEHmIv5nDc&t=14s

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 37.1104 cm/360°

[tight totem]

i can see the improvement

[elder kayak]

Finally 😄

@tight totem do you know any ground training scenario

[tight totem]

u mean like cfsi

[elder kayak]

What cfsi lol

I mean which can help me more with this

[vague karma]

does anyone know why my apex is capped at 240 but my launch arguments is 165

[elder kayak]

Reactive tracking

[golden sphinx]

might be best capping it with rtss

[vague karma]

what is rtss

i just capped it in my nvidia settings if that's what you mean

[golden sphinx]

RivaTuner

[vague karma]

i don't have riva

[golden sphinx]

ima try cap mine with it now see if it works

[vague karma]

love the ash canceling my slide

that's 100% why i died

not the heavy artillery railing my arsehole

[golden sphinx]

why is firing range always like this lol

why is it showing the glow from a path zip in my game

i always hear random explosions n shit too

[vague karma]

pathy in your server

[golden sphinx]

buy yeah the fps cap worked with rivatuner

[bright slate]

dont you love the fact that the range is a server

with a queue

[vague karma]

don't know why firing range isn't just hosted locally

[vague karma]

exactly

[bright slate]

they have canca

[vague karma]

can't drop streamer don't play ranked 🗣️ 🔥

two ttv's

bro

[golden sphinx]

might buy the op1w 4k v2

since i dont really use 8k on the op18k

and the wire is annoying tf out of me

even after modding the cable it still gets in my way

[golden sphinx]

ttvs are the worst teammates to get on your team lol

its like they always try to show off or something for their 5 viewers

so they hot drop

and try to rush every fight and 9 times out of 10 they die instantly

[vague karma]

i have a mouse bunjee so i can't really feel the wire

the stress reliever sticking out is annoying though

best day of my life

i might have to reset my pc

it cannot run

[wintry cypress]

is that valorant 🤢

[golden sphinx]

i have a mousebungee too but for some reason the mouse wire just keeps getting in the way

[vague karma]

i can't dm on cs

[golden sphinx]

just won my first game of apex today

by that i mean like my first game on

[vague karma]

it runs like a paraplegic

[golden sphinx]

straight shidded on em

i wanted to order an orbital pathfinder but its out of stock 😭

[vague karma]

fym out of stock

[golden sphinx]

tis out of stock

[vague karma]

a skin?

[golden sphinx]

nooo lol

the mouse

[wintry cypress]

performance is questionable on cs2 indeed

frametimes are weird i feel like

or just inconsistent fps

idk

[vague karma]

wtf is that

[golden sphinx]

the modular one where u can change the back and the sides

[wintry cypress]

they made the apex character into a mouse 💔

[vague karma]

i feel like op1 is probably the closest to the best shape for me

[vague karma]

it's like that razer mouse you can swap the side buttons on

[golden sphinx]

youd think it would be heavy af but its only 52g-55g

obviously not as light as a bunch of stuff on the market

[vague karma]

that's practically a dumbbell

[golden sphinx]

but for it being modular n stuff its not bad

op1 is heavier isnt it lol

[vague karma]

no idea

[golden sphinx]

oh the new op18k v2 is 49.5g

the wireless op1w 4k is 58.5

[vague karma]

i have the normal op1 8k

and this thing

[golden sphinx]

this game bruh

17 minutes to earn 42 points

teammates died twice because they dont follow me

they kept going into the open and just dying

only got 2 kp because instead of being able to wipe teams most of my time was spent tryingto find a way to respawn them and get banners

was a thermal station end zone and there was a team in the top of that middle tower

we knew they were there and my teammates go to take the zips instead of just waiting for zone to close and ballooning up

[vague karma]

this is why i don't enjoy ranked

even if you do good

you get nothing for 2nd place

like an 8 kill game is either worth 200 or 700 depending on if you win or not

[golden sphinx]

yeahh fr

[bright slate]

xqc build

[vague karma]

what prick bans your dibsed op bro

[vague karma]

over 30g is basically a gym session for your forearm

[bright slate]

is this you 💔

[vague karma]

arms are a wee bit too thick

[twilit flicker]

i dont workout cuz it hurts

[vague karma]

and long

more like this

[twilit flicker]

psl god

[visual bluff]

Bro how did they nerf the devo so little
Then need to gut it

[tight totem]

cuz they want ppl to use it

personally i'm having fun shooting people with it

[vague karma]

what's the blue thing

is it the top rank?

[golden sphinx]

not a clue

[golden sphinx]

first game of the day in ranked

teammate zips up into a full team insta dies

what makes it stupid tho

i scanned beacon so we knew the team was there

yet he zips up alone into all of them

and then other teammate dies without having done any damage

im the only one who got knocks

[mental ridge]

@golden sphinx thats why i threestack in ranked

[golden sphinx]

what did they do

[bright slate]

is this what hte marines saw in nam

[golden sphinx]

also cant really tell in that bottom pic but its floating above the dirt

and where the trees are meant to be is just a stump

final fight i knock 2 of them and my teammates lose a 2v1

well we basically lose a 3v1 cause im low af hp after fighting the other 2 alone

and the ash just keeps dashing at me so i have no time to heal

tho idk how tf she got me cause i was behind my teammates knockdown shield

[golden sphinx]

yeah i was shooting at the enemy team like

wtf are my shots not landing

turns out

invisible tree in the way

cause its texture is off floating somewhere else

so the actual trees are invisible

only 204 points for that game

😭

[stiff hedge]

i just noticed this too

so weird

i believe it isnt even the first time

[golden sphinx]

happened during ewc scrims too lol

on e district

so its not just broken moon either

also sparrow might be my new fav character

[golden sphinx]

got teammates who run from 3v3

causing us to die

just to try take a 1v3 on a team that didnt even see them to craft banners

i dont understand these peoples mindsets i did so much damage on the team that killed me but i die and ofc when it shows teammate he has dipped completely from the fight that we would have won if he had stayed

but then he decides to try win a 1v3 like where is that energy in the teamfight lol

[vague karma]

something to do with the tree mesh that makes it wave in the wind

also makes them move sometimes

[quaint karma]

people don’t realize they can just walk away from a 1v3

[alpine trail]

What guns do u guys consider no skill?

[alpine trail]

How to fix

How to not get such teammates

Tutorial?

[quaint karma]

devo, double p20

[tight totem]

vantage ult

[vague nexus]

Wingman, pk, r99

[alpine trail]

Aren’t they all skill?

[alpine trail]

Double p20 is no skill?? man, no wonder I was doing good with it😔

[vague nexus]

Only skill guns are devotion, spitfire, lstar, dual p20s and r301

I dont think i turned the wooting one off and ran it in apex

Works fine

Havent been banned yet

[storm mural]

Akimbos are no skill because they're so RNG

Not sure anything else is in the same tier as akimbos for that reason

[alpine trail]

Ok now ur js messing with me

[alpine trail]

what weapons should i use to improve gunplay?

[vague nexus]

Wdym gunplay

Use everything, cause in game you will probably have to use any gun you find

[alpine trail]

i meant likethe hardest ones to use

[shrewd pollen]

nosh u r so active in these weeks, back to play?

[golden sphinx]

had a team in front and behind

the team in front is the one we were fighting

walked up behind us with 0 audio and 1 clipped one of our teammates but i did a bunch of damage to them and got cracked

tried to heal on the door and started getting shot from the team behind so i had to go in the building and they killed me and my teammate was just running

i didnt have anywhere i could just walk away from the fight without getting shot

[golden sphinx]

😮

so worth a legendary slot

i will totally use that

[vague karma]

forgot bow

[vague karma]

they also do 48 hs damage without fall off i think

idk i've never touched them

[tight totem]

wym by fall off

[main merlin]

9700x worth it for apex. Got a 5600x rn

[vague karma]

dmg fall off

like cass in ow he does 75 dmg up close and 3 past 20 metres

[tight totem]

and that's in apex?

[vague nexus]

always get an x3d

[golden sphinx]

tf am i meant to do with teams like this

lifeline was the first to die and still did more damage than the ash

lifeline was fucking stupid tho she sat close to their team for so long even after i knocked one so she could push back

just stayed there while the other team pushed and killed her

[vague karma]

yeah

i don't think p20 has it though

[golden sphinx]

idk why but this season

every single ranked game has been a hotdrop

oops i mean this split

last split teammates actually waited most times to get a good landing

but now its just hot drop hot drop hot drop

[tight totem]

are you sure

[vague karma]

r9 does like 14 up close and 11 at range i think

[vague karma]

this is how i play until i'm out of the metal ranks

[golden sphinx]

if u have people to play with its fine but randoms die instantly

[stiff hedge]

Didnt they remove that?

[vague karma]

i only play worlds edge so it's always a zip building i can 1v3 in

[golden sphinx]

man this game confuses me

checking the r99 damage

on the big targets it does 10 damage per bullet

but on dummies it does 13

ohh nvm figured it out

only 10 on the outer ring of the target

[vague karma]

big targets probably have the outside set to the same damage red of legs

[golden sphinx]

but yeah after a certain range u can no longer crit with r99

so it just does 13 damage headshot or not

[vague karma]

why is it always the clueless players that send friend requests

there is nothing less i want to do than carry a lifeline that got 0 reses and got downed 6 times

[vague karma]

yeah same with p20

mb

24 damage all ranges is still insane

with decent travel time

[ornate gorge]

i cant bro

r5 is the most buggy thing in existence

cant troubleshoot it either

[earnest meadow]

yo im downloading apex for the first time

[bright slate]

unfortunate

[earnest meadow]

thank you

[stiff hedge]

you're on time to stop

[golden sphinx]

yeah its too late for us

but you can still save yourself

[surreal bough]

is roller still king?

[bright slate]

its more in linje

unless ur bad at mnk

[surreal bough]

did they nerf it?

[bright slate]

yeah

0.4 -> 0.3 aa

[surreal bough]

whats the value at now?

ahhh

[bright slate]

its enough that the bots arent 200-0 you off cd

decent rollers are still lasers though

[surreal bough]

damn

i might check it out again ig

[golden sphinx]

bro

teammates that dont hold a door for you

can die irl fr fr

dude lets the enemy come through the door and shoot me in the back while im healing

[bright slate]

on the other side

do you trust them

to do anything

[mental ridge]

false hopes

[golden sphinx]

guess what team won??

yup

the team that had 3 people with charge rifles all with selective fire

most unfun shit i have played so far

my team were just sitting crouched not shooting anything for 90% of that game

if they just shot things we would have gotten sooooo much more kp

bangalore played like a skunk

the second a threat came close

smoked the area with her smell

[golden sphinx]

Based team

[vague karma]

how did bro move so fast

[golden sphinx]

i cant do like any apex movement aside from lurching

trap strafe

nd wall bounces lol

never felt like i needed it tho
