apex

[quaint karma]

they added this launch command in a recent patch

-no_render_on_input_thread

and now its in the game by default on higher core cpus

[twilit flicker]

i already have this set up with process lasso

[steep stone]

Anyone here play Apex on mnk and wouldn’t mind helping me find what sensitivity is for me?

[shrewd pollen]

its enough that u can play on 1k polling rate in this game

[dull falcon]

800 dpi 1.2?

do you have a big mousepad

[steep stone]

I’m in the process of buying a xl ninja fx mid i do play on 1.2 currently but it just feels unbearably slow.

My current mouse pad is pretty big ion have an issue with its size.

[main merlin]

Play what you are good on

[steep stone]

That’s the issue I’m having I dunno

Idk how to find what will work for me

[golden sphinx]

give 1.6 a go

800dpi 1.6 should be around 32cm/360

[glossy apex]

I use 1600 dpi, 0.7 in game

My sens used to be way higher, btu I realized there's no reason to have a sens that high

with this sens, I can comfortably do a little over a 180 and still track an enemy without re positioning my mouse

that seems logical to me at least

[dull falcon]

800 1.2 is the 43 linear of mnk

trust bro

[golden sphinx]

nahh not a fan of that slow

[dull falcon]

its not slow just move faster

[golden sphinx]

i prefer between 28 and 34

[glossy apex]

If you can get used to a low sens, that would be optimal

cuz like I said there's no reason to have a higher sens other than preferance

lower sens makes it easier to hit enemies

to an extent ofc

too late?

[steep stone]

I was playing on 0.81 and it feels nice to move and do a 180 I can hipfire track perfectly but when I ads different story

I play on 1.2 even though it’s slow it’s more consistent

Again I just don’t know what determines if a sens is for me or not

[steep stone]

I’ll give it a try

[bright slate]

i usually play 24-36 cm

[tight totem]

32 cheat code

[steep stone]

That would be 1.5?

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 0.8118

[steep stone]

;—-; that’s what I was using but I couldn’t track anybody in r5

I just swapped back to 800 dpi 1.2 but I was in the range of 1600 0.81, 0.62, 0.68 🧍

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 43.2955 cm/360°

[bright slate]

so slow

🐢

[steep stone]

How can I find my /360?

[bright slate]

/.cm source

[sand radish]

1.2 for „low“ and 1.8 for high

Trust

[steep stone]

1.5 for best of both I’m assuming?

[sand radish]

I used to play 1.45 way back

Think it‘s good

But then i went to 1.2 and i think it‘s the best, so many people use it

As was said before

It‘s the 4-3 linear of mnk

[bright slate]

0.8 is best

[sand radish]

60cm goat

[bright slate]

just play 1600 dpi

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 32.4716 cm/360°

[bright slate]

see

[steep stone]

I’m on 1.3 atm but I’ll try 1.2 for a week

[white flicker]

1600 .67

is best

[bright slate]

wtf

[golden sphinx]

man

penta bounce killing me

i got 1 point away from masters

and i keep failing it at 1 point away or less

😭

[tight totem]

hmmmm

benchnarks..

[white flicker]

what

[bright slate]

slow

[white flicker]

?

no....

for /cm command

is it source

for gam,e

here

?

@bright slate

[bright slate]

yeah

thats like

43 cm

slow mf

[white flicker]

no...

it's a good sens

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 38.7720 cm/360°

[white flicker]

fool

[bright slate]

38 is basically 40

which is pretty close to 43

[white flicker]

you right

[bright slate]

so i was correct

im always right

[delicate quest]

[pale mesa]

whats ur apex smoothmaxxing playlist?

[bright slate]

tsk

[royal thunder]

not an aim related question but does anyone know a fix to the this profile cant play online thing

[candid mist]

how to strafe in this situation

[candid mist]

isnt that just a ban?

[royal thunder]

yeah i thought so too

but its like

i can play

and i can login

most of the time

then sometimes this just happens

[alpine trail]

Can some1 review the first 2 games

Pls

Not many fights in the first 2 but I js wanna know why I died

The third one has a lot of fights

[mental ridge]

have u guys noticed that there are cheaters in arena duals

like a dude with 16 kills and 4k dmg
they kill everybody like almost immediately

[sand radish]

First game: Dont take that 50/50 drop and if you do, be aware of your teammates positions. You could‘ve gotten the weapon and then dashed out with ash.
Second game: You messed up your drop and then went to the building your mate already looted, so you got worse loot (rampage). Then you just pushed, when it was not necessary without really being aware of your enemies positions and your team died, because they got picked apart and you went to take that 1v3. Could‘ve just ran away tbh

[quaint karma]

i mean i have a cheater in almost every mixtape game

so like

always some low level beaming

plus the amount of bad players who cheat to turn themselves into mediocre players

way more people cheat than you think

the bot gold bloodhound could be cheating

https://youtu.be/LkmIItTrQP4?si=HYiqo8vgOpT8YsdL

[elder kayak]

Is there someone who has very good aim but very bad strafe?

[quaint karma]

no

[ornate gorge]

me

excrpt my strafes arent really bad

they're mediocre

[elder kayak]

Can you still beam someone Even if you have bad strafe

[ornate gorge]

yes

pure mechanical aim is very advantageous in apex imo

[elder kayak]

Can i see your r5 clip 😄

[ornate gorge]

but having bad strafes lessen ur odds of winning

i dont clip r5 thats corny

but i cant record any cause my psu blew up

[mental ridge]

the problem is youre basically a average controller player then

[elder kayak]

Im mnk

[ornate gorge]

I literally do zero lurching i just add bias 😭

[mental ridge]

i know read again

[elder kayak]

Wait are you not controller right?

[ornate gorge]

im mnk

my psu blew up

[quaint karma]

just stay out of their range

[mental ridge]

strafing has nothing to do with lurching
u can be the best strafer without jumping once

[ornate gorge]

nah go into their range and one clip

[ornate gorge]

true

tbh i havent noticed getting controllered anymore

[mental ridge]

but average controller players have a "good" accuracy because of aimassist and strafe horrendously bad

[mental ridge]

u just have to rewire youre brain from
it felt like aimbot must be a controller player to goddamn that dude is good must be a randome controller player

[elder kayak]

Oh i forgot to mention i was talking about mnk player

[mental ridge]

tge only times i had this old aimassist radar kick in is when i got console aimassisted

[mental ridge]

???

u dont get anything im saying right ?

[elder kayak]

Nvm

[ornate gorge]

no i havent felt that feeling in awhile

since they nerfed aa

but i also stop caring so probsb whu

xd

[elder kayak]

I get it what you saying

[mental ridge]

finally

[ornate gorge]

learn how to strafe

👍

[mental ridge]

took me a while to adjust my aimassist radar
tge average controller player still has a better accuracy than a average mnk player but its now overlapping with good / lucky mnk beams
good rollers are still something else tho

[elder kayak]

But when will I learn to aim 😭

[mental ridge]

strafing isnt that hard just when u strafe avoid mirroring or anti mirror
and just strafe to the left or right with side steps interrupting the strafe every now and then

[mental ridge]

if u can strafe good u have more time to aim because u dont just fall over immediately

[ornate gorge]

i remember aa being so strong. This pathy one clipped me mid super grapple in the air 175 with a smg

thats how i knew i couldnt compete

in no world is any MNK player doing thay in their lifetime

[quaint karma]

its not really an issue anymore

[ornate gorge]

with any amount of luck

[quaint karma]

and if they nerfed aim assist any further itd be too weak

[ornate gorge]

but then i came back and aa felt fine

yah it feels in a good place rn

from a mnk perspective

[elder kayak]

It has been 4 Days since i have been learning strafing

[mental ridge]

my best controller clip is 1 clipping somebody with a r99 while i am jumpading and i was not that close to the enemie 15-30m i wonder where it is i need to find it

[mental ridge]

just keep at it and
dont focus too hard on strafes but look back at fights after dying and figure out if u strafed bad or good

[elder kayak]

Yes

[twilit flicker]

thats most roller players

[elder kayak]

lol

[storm mural]

For the second round, your pathing was poor, as fockeli said. You could have immediately gone for top after seeing the initial drop was bad (there's some loot while going for top, might have a gun to shoot with from a good position) or used that Rampage to get an angle from the bunker to your left. That way your team has more angles than them and you can more or less guarantee a win. If you feel risky, you can also just do this with the 28 ammo in your Rampage instead of wasting time picking up Lifeline's poorly dropped ammo stacks (the alternative is LL not being an idiot and dropping them near you instead of forcing you to climb). Even if you went with just the ammo in your gun, Rampage has good dmg so it's a viable strat, you just don't spam bullets with it and try to actually land your shots. Off-drop, positioning and LOS matters more than ammo since you also had Mozams and your teammates always had the option of hitting their shots too.

[sand radish]

👆🏻

[golden sphinx]

these apex leaks are killing me breh

what are the devs smoking

[mental ridge]

only makes sense if lmg has a big movement handicap in every possible way

or they drastically nerf dps

or both in a balanced way

aint no way i gonna play apex in a even more oppressive lmg meta

[golden sphinx]

lol same

didnt see anything about damage nerfs

quite a few buff leaks and maybe a new perk tho the perk is not really known yet

seer is getting buffed apparently

giving him a silence again that cancels healing

i hope that new perk is not a thing lol

caustic barrel getting a hp buff too

oh everything for him is getting a buff

[hushed forge]

new loba skin???

and conduit??

AND WATTSON

WHY ARE THEY ALL SO BAD 😭

this games gonna become gooning legends

[hushed forge]

less damage when using lmg??

😭

yeah lets just make devotion and havoc more op ig

[hushed forge]

I js clocked I said havoc

meant rampage

[golden sphinx]

they saw marvel rivals selling a bunch of gooner skins and now they gonna do the same

[alpine trail]

Alright thanks

I think a lot of times I die off drop

I’ll work on that aswell as my pathing

[alpine trail]

Tysm

[hushed forge]

thats lowkey kinda tuff

might have to start playing apex again

[sand radish]

i probably used to have like a 60-70% winrate in pubs if i didn´t die off drop

that´s the most important part of the game with the endgame imo

in ranked that is

[ocean flame]

🤯

[mental ridge]

i win 100% of my games when i kill the last person

[sand radish]

I was not trying to flex, i was just making the point of how important not dying off drop is and that, if you‘re good enough, you can win the majority of matches just by not 50/50 your drop.

That was like season 13

Before they upped the mmr in pubs

[bright slate]

optimal gameplay is to hotdrop

die

leave

[mental ridge]

but where is the fun in that unless its like higher ranked

crutching gamesense so hard that u wont take any risks is prey mindset

[bright slate]

even in higher ranks

landing with +1 teams

getting 3kp

[mental ridge]

i mean i get not dropping with 3 other teams

[bright slate]

that also depends on the poi

[mental ridge]

dropping on 1 team isnt hot imo

[bright slate]

yeah

like

dropping mirage

boat

with 30 teams

obv no beuno

[mental ridge]

and if u drop with more thanm 1 team u gonna get thirded immediatly if youre the agressor

[sand radish]

Nah, i always landed like a monkey no matter what gamemode. Just isn‘t smart if you want to consistently gain and don‘t have a team

[bright slate]

meh

you will win more than you lose as you get better

[mental ridge]

i dont belive you

[sand radish]

Ok😹

[bright slate]

like on olympus i will always contest back side phase driver

doesnt matter how many teams are there

[sand radish]

Olympus always hammond labs

[tight totem]

r u slurring

[alpine trail]

aight thanks

guys how to deal with teammates that get 7 participations when u get 7 kills?

[twilit flicker]

just ignore your teammates

[alpine trail]

i cant carry tho

i get 2 ppl

and now its a 2v1

cuz i got knoced

my teammates die 2 the same guy

while there were both shooting at him

he was in the open

what do i do here

[twilit flicker]

play ranked like its 1v3

just focus on yourself

[bright slate]

better to play off your team imo

in a fight

let them swing

and eat 9000 dmg

[alpine trail]

oh lmao

alright

ill try that out

[storm mural]

Just remember, "he's one!" or "they're all one!" is code for "I did fuck-all damage / Lifeline drone just full healed but I wanna go next round so please die."

[placid root]

I swear, any time they buff a character, it's a mistake

like, wtf is this shit

it was like 200ms between shots and I instantly died

eu pubs are the sweatiest games i have ever played lol

i gotta go to ranked for easier games

[cedar wigeon]

[tight totem]

nightamre fuel

[cedar wigeon]

💀

[main merlin]

Any ranked or pubs.

[ocean flame]

yeah cook those pubbies!

[sharp nimbus]

just came back to apex after like 6 months

what the actual fuck is this new ttk

[golden sphinx]

possibly one of the worst updates is what it is

0 chance to outplay someone shooting you in the back pretty much

that and mixed with the games dogshit audio

not a very fun mix

[sharp nimbus]

when did they change it

surely they revert it

[golden sphinx]

a few seasons ago

[sharp nimbus]

why would they change something that the game has been balanced around for like 7 years

[golden sphinx]

season 24

idk tbh its apex devs

no one knows what they are thinking

everything they do is to make the game easier for casual players so it could be that

[sharp nimbus]

this is so bad

warzone with abilities

[golden sphinx]

then they added turbo devo back into the game

and a new leak came out

[sharp nimbus]

????????

[bright slate]

Im assuming that fortified will stack with it

[golden sphinx]

literally 90% of the player base have been complaining about how op the devo is n shit and they pull this lol

[bright slate]

Lmgs been broken since they added the hipfire mech

[golden sphinx]

thats exactly why i think no one at respawn actually plays the game

[bright slate]

Shoot 6 bullets ads and you have lightning gun from quake

[golden sphinx]

but heyyy at least we know

they have like 5 universal artifacts already in the works

woooo $300 heirlooms

or is it more or less than $300

[sharp nimbus]

this might be the most unenjoyable season of apex ive ever played and ive been playing on and off since release

[golden sphinx]

nahh last season was worse

this season is slightly better

[sharp nimbus]

this ttk change is just too drastic of a change

in 7 years i havent seen a single person complain about ttk being too high

[golden sphinx]

yup fr no idea why they did it

i wonder if they explain in the patch notes

[sharp nimbus]

apparently to reduce third partying

but if anything i feel like it makes third partying worse

roll up on 2 teams fighting and theyre both semi low hp and its a free 6 kills

[bright slate]

did they not change it right after the support meta

where nobody would die

[golden sphinx]

their reasoning was just to make like getting 3rd 4th 5th partied easier to deal with or some shit

by making it faster to wipe a team

instead of having a long team fight

[sharp nimbus]

yeah lets just change the entire core of apex

[golden sphinx]

but like its apex the maps themselves are now too small for the mobility characters have and the evac balloons so you still get 3rd 4th 5th partied anyways

[sharp nimbus]

it'll go over really well we swear

[golden sphinx]

feel like if they spent less time working on these shit updates

and more time fixing bugs that have been in the game since season 0

we would be able to hear enemy footsteps more than like 10% of the time

[bright slate]

it would help if they could figure out

how to get off source

while keeping the game feeling the same

[golden sphinx]

there have been leaks that they might be switching to unreal engine

[main merlin]

Dam x3d chips are goated for apex

[glossy apex]

@alpine trail imma post a whole ass paragraph or two rn but,
TL;DR - Your life is the most important thing to think about in ranked.

I belive the #1 most important thing when playing ranked is to stay alive. You can't expect your teammates to be competent. I've realized that it doesn't really matter how much you do in a fight, if you die, your teammates are probably gonna lose. You're leaving it up to chance. I never wanna gamble like that, so I prioritize my life over everything. It's a BR after all. The goal is to be the last one alive. Ofc you need KP, but that should never be more important than surviving. (except if you have no other choice than to play for second place for example) I'm not telling you to just leave your team behind and run for a crafter, because calling in a moby is basically a death sentence.

The #2 most important thing is to keep your teammates alive. If they are in a bad spot, try your best to get them out, without putting your own life too much at risk. Sometimes it could be as simple as comming to them in vc and telling them that they are overextending or whatever. (I've had teammates do to this to me and we got out of a situation I probably would've died in because I was to tunnel visioned). And ofc there will be situations in a fight where you should trade your teammates, but even then it would be better if you could kill the guy before your teammate gets knocked. I'm just telling you what's optimal and I know it's impossible to play every game perfectly, but just keep these things in mind.

One last tip. Sometimes you're gonna die even if you play perfectly, but 99% of the time there's gonna be something you can reflect on and realize "oh ye, honestly I made a mistake there. Idk if it would've made a huge difference, but it could have. I'm gonna try to do it differently next time" or something like that, right. And in that 1% case, all we can do is say "GG go next". Your personal improvement as a player matters way more than your rank. You'll get to your desired rank eventually.

[ornate gorge]

What about aim

[twilit flicker]

a bit better

[elder kayak]

Thats cool

[alpine trail]

aight thanks

ill keep that in mind

any1 wanna queue with me

that has mic

im plat and play on eu

[alpine trail]

im tryna be a good teammate and com but these ppl dont listen to my coms

tf do i do bro

[tight totem]

if the move isn't too bad it's better to make the same move as a team

than splitting up

[alpine trail]

The problem is they don’t move

[ornate gorge]

i do find that solo queuing

players are like bricks

They just sit till something happens

either find people in a lfg(they usually ass) or use vc to lead ur team

[golden sphinx]

every game i win are the games where the randoms i get actually follow me

and push when i push

fall back when i fall back

a lot of games end in failure because my randoms tunnel vision on a team we can never kill and then zone closes in and we get sandwiched between multiple teams

[bright slate]

they just wont listen to your comms no matter how good they are

which is why ive stopped

[tight totem]

usually after wiping a team or a good performance i get a good chance of gaining a loyal follower

[ocean flame]

I was that loyal follower

[bright slate]

idk

i could comm how the entire game will go

and they just would not listen

[rose wraith]

Being a good IGL is only 40% of the teamwork skill

In general it’s much better to simply be agreeable and fall in on however your team wants to play the map

Some games people are fraggers and just need some direction but lots of games players aren’t aggressive or know how to posture right

Or simply like playing for placement in a meta that doesn’t reward it without KP…

[tight totem]

cook

[bright slate]

igling doesnt matter if your team doesnt want to listen

[alpine trail]

sometimes

when im tryna rank up

we have a good amount of kp

like 3-6

i saw lets chill till 5 squads left

then we can look for fghts

this vantage runs out into the open, into 2 squads fighting each other and blames us for not helping

[alpine trail]

i try but i dont know what to agree to

its like talking to a brick wall

they dont say shit and dont listen to what i say

[alpine trail]

whenever i play good

my teammates are dog

if i play bad either my teammates are really horrible or theyre like the best players in the world

[tight totem]

so

[tight totem]

then u just ignore

if u want rp

u alr have the kp

u don't need ur team to get top 5

[bright slate]

yeah

if you say "we have kp can we just chill" and they still die

just leave them

[rose wraith]

If they go do something stupid then just don’t go

Or go with them and learn about pushing boundaries in stupid positions

It’s simultaneously good to learn how to have better positions and also learn how to fight out of bad ones

[ornate gorge]

I love pushing

Hi i lost my roller cursor file so i asked somebody to data mine me the apex cursor and created my own roller cursor
i also didnt just do one size but did all of them 128x128 96x96 72x72 64x64 48x48 32x32 16x16

[mental ridge]

@bright slate whats your problem

[tight totem]

huh

😂

[golden sphinx]

what is a roller cursor?

[bright slate]

nice bitcoin miner bud

[golden sphinx]

only did good on one task

[mental ridge]

the ingame cursor of apex for controller

[mental ridge]

i fixed the transparewncy a bit

thats how it looks now

[golden sphinx]

ohhh i dont touch controller

[mental ridge]

.cur is just the windows cursor file type

[mental ridge]

i come from controller so i do like it to have the same cursor in windows

[dull falcon]

what virus is this

no but if u peak 1 person u should not onky peak out but also strafe away from cover else the enemie only needs to aim right next to your cover to hit you
(i do that all the time in arena duels when people dont know how to peek)

unless u jiggle with a pk / mastiff / Sentinel

[tight totem]

don't constantly peek from the same angle

awareness is

remember and try to find out where ppl from the enemy team are

also ur teammates

also keep note of how long the fight has been going

[alpine trail]

Oh so like wide peeking sometimes?

[alpine trail]

Kk

[alpine trail]

Kk

Thanks for the tips guys

[mental ridge]

yes but only if u are certain youre only peaking one person
if u peek multiple and they all look at you id try to get back to cover and find a new angle

[alpine trail]

Aight thanks

[twilit flicker]

Just watch tac fps guides on peeking

Same fundamentals apply to apex

But in apex u can peek with lurches thats the biggest difference

[mental ridge]

wasnt there a way to enable controller button promts when playing mnk?

like a launch option

Great tip coach

[proud hollow]

what is generally better for practicing aim in apex. flowstate in r5reloaded or aimlabs/kovaak

[wet stratus]

lg duels

[proud hollow]

so 1v1s in r5reloaded?

do i even need aimlabs or kovaak

😞

[wet stratus]

should get quake live and lg duel

[proud hollow]

i've been spamming lots of aimlabs and flowstate and i'm getting nowhere

[proud hollow]

whats quake live

oh dam that game...

is that a genuine tip

😭

play game

grind lg duels

abuse substances

be racist and homophobic

[proud hollow]

what does lg mean

[devout tusk]

both

[proud hollow]

im like asking what to invest on more

[devout tusk]

u gotta figure that out yoself sadly. but apex takes more to translate the aimtraining into your gameplay compared to other fps imo

so i think its good to train in a trainer then right after go train in apex/r5

then play

[outer sleet]

From what I've been told and heard and stuff aim trainers help with mouse control in general and r5 is better for in game stuff like animation reading, the guns themselves, bullet drop, recoil, movement etc.

But correct me if I' wrong

[white flicker]

@atomic plover

It also takes a shit ton of time. It took me 6 months to just be ok

dying to a 300ping octane has nothing to do with tick rate

could some1 review

[proud hollow]

had to put 0 on dpi..

[tight totem]

when u land, do it yourself and keep track where the enemies go

loot fast and get into a good position before the enemy

the less u loot the faster u ar

[storm mural]

Your landing was pretty poor, don't loot that slow in the open. Get one pill, grab the loot there, and leg it. You could have played around your team early game if you didn't die there early (playing a building with Wattson off-drop is okay). Late game, you took an enemy port. This is pretty much always a bad idea. It wasted your ult and almost got you killed. When your teammate called out the guy he was chasing was one, you over-extended (the building team has LOS on pretty much the entire zone) and then also dropped from height. You could have tried to play height and manipulated LOS instead of getting beamed by two guys. Always try to fight with cover. Height is one of the best covers. Even if you don't know how many are down there, you have a safer 1v1 this way. You can also dash back to your team where you have cover from the height / building team. You can't really dash anywhere in that ditch you died in.

You should also try to maintain at least a couple syringes or loot them up (asking your team is perfectly fine). You can also tag you don't have weapon attachments; maybe they saw some and could have otherwise pinged them for you instead of spending half the game with no stock on your Nemesis (and no barrel mod). Stocks are more important / versatile. How fast you ADS, how fast you holster or unholster your gun, it's all managed by the stock of the weapon.

[tight totem]

now i feel bad about my low effort review xd

[storm mural]

Don't, I frequently forget stuff

[rose wraith]

Enoch been on my ass today

[tight totem]

pastor behaviour

dw about it

[south wave]

did not expect to see an SSBU coach here lol

new here, can someone point me in the direction for an aim training playlist? specifically for controller, if it matters

[bright slate]

id just play r5 if you want to get better for roller

[south wave]

yea that’s been my go to, but I heard voltaic had some good playlists for controller and I wanted to check those out

[rose wraith]

any novice or entry difficulty bench playlist is good

even just developing basic tracking/clicking/switching skills on roller makes a big difference when you add the cheating back in with rotational aim assist

[south wave]

and these are done through aim labs?

[rose wraith]

doesn't matter

#resources exist for both main trainers

aimlabs has native sup tho

[south wave]

roger thank you

[bright slate]

you dont need switching for pex

[south wave]

trying to make the jump from getting d3/2 every season to climbing master

[tight totem]

it's probably not aim that you need to worry about

[south wave]

i definitely need it, the other aspects are easier to learn about without training

positioning and game sense just take some self awareness and experience

but imo being on controller there’s no excuse to be shooting as poorly as i do sometimes

[bright slate]

its likely a strafe issue

[south wave]

ive been working on my aim smoothing a lot lately

but i want to also be able to beam at a distance with the flatline for example

just want to improve

[ornate gorge]

When i first got good smoothing in kovaaks

aim got so much better in apex

i miss those days

[golden sphinx]

smooth tracking is the most fun thing to learn

thats why i started doing TSK benchmarks

feels nice seeing my scores go up

also had no clue how much my desk was fucking me up cause of the bad posture i was in because it was so tall

my new desk goes much lower and lets me get in a proper position to aim without being uncomfortable and it made a instant difference to how i aim

last one had a metal frame under the desk that one dig into me if i put my chair in the highest position which was the only height where i could have my arm at the right height without it dragging too much on my desk

[bright slate]

reactive better...

[ornate gorge]

Ew

i hate reactive

[south wave]

why not both

[ornate gorge]

Cause reactive stinks

[south wave]

guessing that to find those i just look up smooth tracking on aim
labs?

[golden sphinx]

bruh

ground kills me

ill get it to master tomorrow

i really need to start grinding static

just so i can learn it properly and get it out of the way

[bright slate]

its for noobs

useless cat

[near rune]

dude so real i hate all of clicking i really need to get my non static up

[golden sphinx]

i like dynamic clicking but the static and linear

not a fan lol

[bright slate]

linear is fine

dynamic is evil

[near rune]

yeah i prefer linear

mainly because im not good at reading pasu

and popcorn is popcorn

[timid creek]

might get back into apex but I'm wondering if 50cm is like on the lower side

[timid creek]

🔥🔥

[bright slate]

50 is low yes

[timid creek]

dayum ok

what's like the norm

40?

[bright slate]

like 32

probably

[timid creek]

ah

that sounds so quick lmao

[rose wraith]

50 feels real nice if all you ever do is run sentinels or precision dmrs

But for up close stuff it’s nice to let your fingers handle reactive actions

[timid creek]

I see, also wondering, does texture streaming budget really lower fps as long as your under the VRAM of your gpu?

[rose wraith]

I turn all my graphics settings down

[timid creek]

even texture streaming budget on none?

looks like I'm on a potato pc

very low is a big difference from none

[ornate gorge]

Engine caps at 300 fps

so do wtv u like that gets stable 300fps

[timid creek]

I prob wont even get over 150

do you guys know how to get my per optic sens the same as my regular sens?

idk if I just leave it at 1

[devout tusk]

https://jscalc.io/embed/Q1gf45VCY4tmm2dq if you really want that

i leave 1x at 1 and just what feels good for the others

[devout tusk]

yes but barely, fastest is none, 2nd fastest is the highest your gpu can do i think they said

respawn

[ocean flame]

what?

[timid creek]

I got confused trying to do it, I don’t think they had like a dpi option

Wait bro

I see it now

Why is it there NOW

[devout tusk]

ublind

[timid creek]

I guess I didn’t see it

Cuz it was next

To the fucking resolution

Not the sens

Guess I just copy this then?

[devout tusk]

no

you set your ads sens to the value that when multiplied by the sens column value you get 1.0

[timid creek]

Yea I’m lost

[lapis moat]

ads 1:1 is propaganda

dont fall for it

[ornate gorge]

agreed

[golden sphinx]

I have already bought her 😝

[main merlin]

Gotta start playing an hour or two a day to gain more consistency

[timid creek]

i shouldn't use 1?

[narrow swift]

he means setting ur ads to ur normal sens

so that graph that gucci showed

[lapis moat]

it’s just preference

[timid creek]

ah

yea I just got lost trying to do it lmfao

I'm slow asf

[twilit flicker]

slower sens is just more optimal

[devout tusk]

yeah i also dont reccomend it

No urs was helpful aswell

I’m not that good at this game anyways so I’ll take all the help I can get

[proud hollow]

do you guys prefer 1:1 sens on hip fire and 1x optic

[bright slate]

no

[proud hollow]

why

[twilit flicker]

doesnt make sense

[proud hollow]

you don't wanna match it?

like

idk how to put it

but i always thought it'd give me more consistency

now that i think about it...

[twilit flicker]

oh on 1x?

[bright slate]

i dont use 1x after they took holo away

[proud hollow]

sometimes i struggle microadjusting on a 1x red dot

[twilit flicker]

on 1x doesnt matter

[proud hollow]

damn

[twilit flicker]

just use whatever u want

[proud hollow]

i see

[twilit flicker]

but matching for 4x and more is stupid

[proud hollow]

there's like something i really struggle with when tracking on hip fire, for some reason my hand lags so much when the enemy is up front

[bright slate]

femboy aim talent?

[tight totem]

why is it that every clip from your POV always a long starfe

[lapis moat]

why not

[bright slate]

try short strafing against any roller with one hand

[lapis moat]

watched the end lmao this is why mac says people "overtrain" their strafes on r5

[tight totem]

wanted to see what the strafes looked like from their pov

the strafes they were showcasing

[lapis moat]

just how things are its always easier to put out good damage especially in game strafeaiming

and with a lot of these they already have a big health adv so theres no point dodging

[tight totem]

yea but i wanna see clips of their pov dodgin

i just went thru the whole twitter full of femboy booty and didn't find any

[midnight niche]

yaya I almost never strafe like that in a real game unless im in a 1v1 with a bit of distance between us ( like a r5 1v1 scenario) but anything but that I just strafe aim

[midnight niche]

i didnt have any of my povs on those, those clips are a bit older and I only recently found the folder that had them so I decided to make a video

[midnight niche]

lmao

[tight totem]

also

are you able to post on youtube 🥲

[midnight niche]

apex is a bit heavier to stream and so I always hated streaming it...

[tight totem]

twitter is sooooooo hard

it pixelates

like mad

[midnight niche]

I did I did, links in the description of the tweet

[tight totem]

oh

sorry i'm dumb

[midnight niche]

its ogie

If I stream apex, I lose like 100 fps, its terrible

I already struggle as is

[bright slate]

lose more than i play on total

[midnight niche]

Ive had different clipping softwares here and there but theyve always been annoying to maintain or they'd bug out and not clip when i wanted them to

I clip alot of r6 cus its alot easier to run

[midnight niche]

also sometimes I gotta switch up my strafe for certain people, which obviously only works in r5 since you learn how a specific person strafes when you play them alot, I mostly try to control their strafe but if their AD spamming then I either AD spam with them or I long strafe, Tbh everything I do is just intuitive so Idk how to explain what I do I just do it

[midnight niche]

doki's rlly good at putting it into words and identifying what is happening, the more analytical type

[mental ridge]

so ideally u have a long strafe / wide swing with a bit of bias side steps?

but not gonna lie
if i think about it its ideal everybody expects you to ad strafe on the spot by just going in 1 direction
everybody seems to he conditioned that way nowadays

like just a giga wide swing is super rare

i guess just 1 or 2 side steps in the beginning is enought to make them expect a ad strafe and then just wideswing
theoretically its inferior but due to the conditioning of the playerbase its the play rn i guess

the ammount of times i get away with that in 1v1s with friends is funny i hit better they always choke on me just wideswinging especially in the open with no cover on either side

[proud hollow]

are there any other people with the same gripstyle as vt clover

[mental ridge]

i thinky lyric used to aim similary

[lapis moat]

ideally you dont need to think about dodge at all because every fight should have an advantage in your favor so you can just focus on putting out damage

there's no "ideal" way to peek or strafe and every fight is different

[mental ridge]

he held his mouse far back with his fingers basically at the beginning of the clicks

[mental ridge]

obviously there isn't but there are things that work better than others on average

especially since u always face different people and they cant get to know your habits

[proud hollow]

but like, the one in the picture has his middle finger under the scroll wheel at all times. that's how i am as well

[proud hollow]

i see the similarity

[mental ridge]

there is nothing wrong with it if thats how u can hold your mouse securely and reliably then stay that way

if it feels right its good

[proud hollow]

crazy how i just naturally developed that grip when i played valo, the only thing that's kinda weird is that i need to tilt my middle finger on the very edge of the right click to activate ads lol

[bright slate]

i hold mine horizontally

[dull falcon]

its what palm grip and what else

[tired pewter]

thank you haha i try to improve every day 🙂

how to clean glass pad..

water and a microfibre cloth m8

[little verge]

Take off grime and stains with one of these

[outer sleet]

My scores don't update in the vt app for some reason

like I dropped two pbs today and it straight up gets denied idk why

after like 2 months of not playing too such an L

hold on you can actually see the scenario name and stuff on this one

so it's not like the wrong scenario or anything is my point idk why this happens

[devout tusk]

clover also like hovers his mouse for minimal pressure on the pad

[delicate quest]

did u pause the scenario

[outer sleet]

I don't think so

not mid run anyway

[storm mural]

I've had that issue pop up before, you can manually edit scores in the VT app to see where you stand (save the info, the manual update I needed to do got overwritten at some point). You just need to click on the score itself.

It seems to be a Kovaak's issue rather than VT's fault.

Because your score doesn't get uploaded to Kovaak's online.

And VT app just pulls scores from Kovaak's.

[proud hollow]

what the

how does that work

that's uncomfy thinking about it

[devout tusk]

i do it too you just do it idk

pick it up slightly i guess

[twilit flicker]

how do u use that

click feels so stiff if u press back

[mental ridge]

idk thats not me lmao

ask lyr1c

[twilit flicker]

he the goat

the player that got me into apex 🥹

[rose wraith]

how do you play a whole game and only do 100 d amage

[cerulean cave]

Any stretched res users on 1440p ? what custom res do you use ?

[acoustic ridge]

is stretched res even good on apex? might have to try that

[bright slate]

i like it

[dull falcon]

1920x1440p

But the ui for the legends select screen in lobby is fucked tho

[cerulean cave]

Can probably fix that with some launch command edits, will try it out soon,, thanks

[glossy apex]

I use 16:10, but honestly idk if stretch makes sense in apex. Sure the enemy is a little bigger, but they also move slightly faster horizontally. So idk ¯_(ツ)_/¯

personal preferance ig

if u wanna track faster but bigger targets, stretch is good

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 0.6112

[glossy apex]

I did something in cfg files or launch options or something tho I don't remember

This is my launch options:
-dev +mat_letterbox_aspect_goal 0 +mat_letterbox_aspect_threshold 0 +building_cubemaps "1" +exec autoexec -preload -novid -freq 200 +gfx_nvnUseLowLatency 1 -threads 4

first part has something to do with the resolution and the rest is optimization

I think at least...

A friend told me how to do this a while ago

[tight totem]

what a good morning

[tight totem]

not sure how many of these work anymore

[ocean flame]

fell off L +ratio

[main merlin]

Rx 9070 worth it?

[outer sleet]

1720x1080 I'm pretty sure

Wait I' dumb sry

The 1440p equivilant to that I guess

[proud hollow]

i use 1152x1080

[left swan]

1440p 16:10 is 2304x1440

[glossy apex]

tf I got then?

ig I have like 15:10 or something

[proud hollow]

what happened to servers

nvm its okay

[cedar wigeon]

do you still use it

and was it worth it

and are you better with it

[tight totem]

yea

yea

and no

[twilit flicker]

u make some mistakes but it seems like u understand the basics

its good

u should do strafe tracking in kovaaks

[elder kayak]

what mistakes

[elder kayak]

yeah

[twilit flicker]

you get a good angle on opponent but then you strafe back into their crosshair

[elder kayak]

oh

[twilit flicker]

@elder kayak this explains angles if u wanna read https://docs.google.com/document/d/17iK2xd2NaE-R8WmWqit-eu5CitJTr15BL1-IM5YJnGw/mobilebasic

[elder kayak]

ok

@twilit flicker what about my aim

[twilit flicker]

its better

[elder kayak]

i cant believe i am actually improving 😭

[tight totem]

ur cooking

remember to keep actively tracking

[elder kayak]

Thx

[hushed forge]

Yeah yeah and yeah

It really depends what clothpad you’re coming from and what glass pad you’re using now

If you go from a really fast clothpad to a control glass pad there won’t be much of a difference and it might even feel worse for apex

But I came from an artisan zero to the padsmith the empress v2 and it’s wayyy better for tracking games

[proud hollow]

my cloth mousepad is so ass, it has uneven areas of smoothness lol

[proud hollow]

do you tend to use more tension on your smoothing a lot more on a glass mousepad?

or less?

[hushed forge]

I haven’t really noticed a difference in tension

If anything probably less since I need less force to move the mouse

[south wave]

first time using aimlabs, need some help w something

when i open the novice playlist for apex, it loads it up directly and throws me in

how can i favorite that playlist so i can always go back to it without having to go to the link

[dull falcon]

can i reset my highscores

[bright slate]

why would you want to

[delicate quest]

create a new aimlabs account

or ask mr. kovaaks for a removal

[hollow pewter]

Aim training is working

[proud hollow]

dawg i didnt know you need to mirror the bot

i kept anti mirroring

LOL

[tight totem]

i don't think ur supposed to do either

[bright slate]

you can move

[tight totem]

isn't that scen for practising like matching up your aim with movement

i explained that so bad but

i always play that while like "adspamming"

[bright slate]

idk never played it

[tight totem]

it's a weird scen def

[bright slate]

only movement scenes i play are revo tracking and air dodge

[tight totem]

i don't play any movement scenes

anymore

or does revolving strafes count

oh yea that's what u meant by revo tracking

so good

[proud hollow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPG3gXa74hQ

[twilit flicker]

[proud hollow]

does anyone here have an kovaaks playlist for apex

[south wave]

bump

[teal trellis]

Hey, i recently decided to get into aim training and i need help improving my consistency
Sometimes I have games where I one-clip everyone, sometimes (most of the times actually) I miss 70%+ of my shots and I decided to try to improve that with the help of kovaak’s, but there’s a ton of different scenarios/playlists/settings and idk where to start to not waste time simply boosting my confidence in tile frenzy or losing my mind missing 80%+ of my shots with targets that move at the speed of light lol

A quick backstory if that helps: I’m decent at apex, got a lot of kills, few 20 bombs, hit masters a few times, but it feels like that’s where I peaked and my aim is simply not there to play in masters lobby or get another 20 without insane lobby luck

Appreciate all the help

[ornate gorge]

Do vdim and benchmarks

Do benchmarks first and see where your aim is lacking

Scenarios should be hard that its a bit frustrating but not too much

[teal trellis]

Any specific benchmarks I should do?

[ornate gorge]

The voltaic benchmark

[teal trellis]

Will do, thanks

[bright slate]

dont use it

[visual bluff]

I think it's worth playing sens randomizer for at least a week or two
Then using it once in a while
It had the effect of making you able to adjust to using a new sens really fast

[bright slate]

meh

could just change it yourself

[visual bluff]

The sens randomizer changes as you aim
It's not like it just picks a random sens when you start a scenario
I think it's valuable to do it for a bit at least once
I think it helps you notice some things as well as having that affect on getting used to new sensitivities

[bright slate]

One there's no downside to using sens randomizer for a week or two
It costs nothing and it means you can get used to new sensitives fast forever
Keep in mind in apex and lots of games you already use multiple senses like ads sens

Two I think there is some benefit to your aim like using sensitives that are not what you normally use causes you to emphasize different muscles like if the sense is much lower you use your arm more or much faster you use your fingertips more

Also I think there's some benefit to at least experiencing the sensitivity changing dynamically it's hard to put in the words but it makes you like not trust your habits always

I don't think it's something someone should do all the time because that's sort of pointless but for short bit I think it has benefit

it still helps you correct yourself on the fly, be more mindful of what youre doing with your mouse at all times
