apex

[ocean flame]

that was not very nice 🙁

[tight totem]

nothing will improve by camping

only rotation skills

[outer sleet]

I'm not saying you should camp but you can't just expect your mechanics to carry you anymore

like before you could run head first into every fight

pretty much

especially until plat

[alpine trail]

Well I won like 2 games rn

Both were pretty good dmg

1k-1.5k

Feel like I was tilt queueing

[outer sleet]

Ye well rage queing is like guaranteed loss

[alpine trail]

It is

I js didn’t realize I was

[gentle dagger]

im living this rn

every season prior to this one

i was able to get D1 cause we would just push

now im legit plat 4

the game is so slow

feels like scrims

[alpine trail]

Isw bruh

I need to grind too much

I used to play like an hr a day and rank up

Now I have to grind for like multiple hours a day

[true ravine]

people always claimed that ranked should be more competitive, now its too slow and feels like scrims, wtf u guys want

[gentle dagger]

i never complained about the old ranked

i loved aping and getting aped tbh

now its more like early apex where you sit and get 5th partied

but I only ever come back to apex never to fully grind it

so im not gonna be the best mechanically

but it just doesnt even feel like with mechs alone I can get to D4

[true ravine]

thats crazy

if u cant get to d4 with your mechanics then your mechanics arent good as you think

[gentle dagger]

probably

as I said I dont play religiously

just every couple of months

[true ravine]

so you shouldnt be able to climb to d1 as you claimed you used to do

[gentle dagger]

alr if that suits you

[true ravine]

u want to be on high diamond/ master without playin the game

just makes no sense at all

ofc this ranked system still has problems but its way better than the old one

[gentle dagger]

opinions

its better than the support meta thats fs

[outer sleet]

Truee they are legit playing algs bro

We won 3 games in a row where we basically just afked for 15 minutes then won the endgame

Apart from one early fight

[gentle dagger]

i like the drops tho its fine i think

but its also the reason for such slow games

[outer sleet]

Ye its good but in plat you legit just afk and pick up free kills with a marksman

Until like last zone or some shit

So boring

[gentle dagger]

bocek is fun tho ngl

104 across the map

so funny

[outer sleet]

Truee

I wish they made it so you can have more ammo

[gentle dagger]

yeah i fire those 40 bullets so fast

[outer sleet]

Though 30 is better

[empty thistle]

My main gripe is it’s just boring icl

I wanna w key people

Not play zone sim to climb past diamond

[true ravine]

pubs, r5, dm, control, you can wkey and fight 24h straight in these modes

[empty thistle]

Ye I quit ranked and play those instead now

[true ravine]

thats how things are supposed to be ig

[empty thistle]

Idk I enjoyed ranked w keying

Now I play like an hour a day at most

[true ravine]

when it was just wkeying with dumb legends everybody was talking shit on it

when it changes and get a little more close to scrims or some way competitive

people also talk shit

idk

Apex community just dont know what they want

[empty thistle]

I mean

I’m a casual who happens to be skilled atp

I’m probably a minority

[bright slate]

It should feel competitive

[empty thistle]

Causally hitting masters was how I enjoyed the game, I don’t think that’s relatable to most

[true ravine]

probably not

[bright slate]

What season though

[true ravine]

anything from s20 to 25 were the same no?

[empty thistle]

S20 split 1 was also hard

Easier than now

But hard iirc

[true ravine]

ye

[empty thistle]

S25 was way easier

[true ravine]

didnt played the full season 25

got mad at ballistic

[empty thistle]

Like 14k masters s23, 25k s25 I think?

[bright slate]

Only szn that really mattered was s13

2k pred + masters

[true ravine]

s13 split 1

was crazy work

[bright slate]

Yeah

[true ravine]

anything bellow top 5

[empty thistle]

You can just count 17k masters as the same tier of skill

[true ravine]

u were paying RP to play

[empty thistle]

There’s like 2000-3000!of them at most

[bright slate]

I think the top rank should be hard to obtain

Hot take

I guess

[true ravine]

i agree

anything above diamond 2 should be harder to achieve

[bright slate]

At least it still isnt s17 numbers

[empty thistle]

I mean too 10-15k out of however many million is decent to me imo

[outer sleet]

Agreed but the gameplay is still boring. But still I guess you can't help it

[bright slate]

1 million masters players on pc

[empty thistle]

Top 2k for masters seems too elitist imo

[true ravine]

ye

2k is too much

but

anything between 15k - 20k its fine

[empty thistle]

I like 10k being the ballpark tbh

[true ravine]

like in valorant, ranked isnt pretty good but theres between 15-25k immortals (from the time i used to play)

[empty thistle]

Gotta consider probably 1/3 of those are boosted accounts too

[true ravine]

ye

also cheaters

[empty thistle]

Like s23 I had 3 accounts in masters

[outer sleet]

It might just be because there's only masters and pred. Unlike in valorant where there's immo 1, 2, 3

[empty thistle]

If half of the masters players are making it on multiple accs like me

[true ravine]

idk about this season but season 25 were full of DMAs

[outer sleet]

Like masters rn is immo 3 basically no?

[bright slate]

There isnt any ranked decay right

[empty thistle]

There’s actually only 5k

[empty thistle]

Ye no decay

[bright slate]

Masters apex is like asc2

[true ravine]

ye, they should bring back rank decay

[bright slate]

Its a joke how easy it is

[outer sleet]

Aint no way bruh really?

[true ravine]

u think this season still easy to get to masters?

i feel like u need to play way more to get there

[bright slate]

Idk i havent played

So its still easy

Just more time investment

Fun!

[empty thistle]

It’s probably immortal 1 ish I think

[outer sleet]

Idk I'll be able to form an opinion later I guess

[empty thistle]

There’s only like 30k immortal 2’s no?

[true ravine]

i mean, if u dont get to top 5 with decent kill amount you wont be ranking up

[bright slate]

Ywah but d4 players dont have hands

[empty thistle]

This system so ass for that imo

[bright slate]

Its just farming bots until you run into pro team

[empty thistle]

I shouldn’t have 8 pred squads in my lobby and have to make top 5 to gain

[bright slate]

Fun game

[empty thistle]

I can only speak for start of last split

But diamond lobbies were harddd

Swear it was only ex masters players

Week 1-2

[true ravine]

rn diamond is full of ex preds

they should make ranked soloq after diamond

[outer sleet]

Truee

Or duo at the very least

[true ravine]

duo still pretty stackable

[outer sleet]

Ye but I feel like you should be able to play with like a friend

Like I wouldn't want to solo que even if it was everyone

[inner willow]

Making it duo instead of full stack lowk makes no sense tho better just full commit to soloq only or keep as it is.

[outer sleet]

Idk maybe not

[inner willow]

Maybe should have added I havent played apex ranked in a long ah time due to hurting my arm and I just cant recover my aim for some reason (So not sure if its still as bad as previous seasons)

[vivid coral]

thay wont do it becuse thay think there going to lose potential players who invite their friends to stack

[outer sleet]

I love queing with pred players in plat bro

[tight goblet]

i ran into xynew gild and winnie in plat 🙂 was fun

[outer sleet]

Sounds fun

[empty thistle]

Free rp for u

[muted shuttle]

https://youtu.be/uKWHD-5Z8g0 is this aura

Yoo anyone wanna fill in? Need a third for ranked

p2 atm

just lost a 3v3 to an ex pred team and our random did 13 damage

love to see it

[sand lintel]

anyone trioq?

Wait till you get an ex pred on your team and they do 13 dmg

What rank do you guys think i have based off these clips?

silver

gold or plat prolly

is my guess

im silver 1 rn

I can't fid the @coral walrus apex playlist on kovaaks, can anyone help out ?

that might be the one then

but its just a general tracking playlist

[grave marten]

alrightyyyy, tnx

[elder kayak]

so i have to dodge and aim simultaneously ?

[devout tusk]

gonna crash out over that question

the last straw

we need to go back to gatekeeping and being mean

[empty thistle]

Just plug in a controller

[elder kayak]

some mnk pro player do that

[bleak sage]

90% of pro players in apex swapped from mnk to controller

cuz of how much easier controller is

[alpine trail]

Be broke

[alpine trail]

And a chronus

[radiant burrow]

apex already causes that

[proud hollow]

for the people who play stretched in apex here, do you guys also have your kovaaks or aimlabs stretched while aim training?

[hallow sail]

Native in kovaaks

[mossy herald]

yeah apex looks weird to me if it isnt stretched and i figured it would make sense to make aimlabs stretched too

[proud hollow]

i see

thanks !

[bleak sage]

yes

since stretched res ur aim/sens will feel a lil different than native res

it might mess up ur aim if ur training on native res but then playing fps games on stretched res

[bright slate]

It wont

Mouse control is universal

[hallow sail]

cm/360 is still the same

i feels off for me

personally

for horizontal movement at least

[devout tusk]

what are you even buying i havent spent any money in years

Shitty generic walmart mouse

[alpine trail]

guys plat is honestly hard this split

i meant his season

[cunning peak]

only for the crap ass 3030 meta tbh

[alpine trail]

I was talking bout the rp changes but that aswelll

*aswell

[quaint karma]

everything

[mental ridge]

mousecontrol is hand eye coordination

stretched res changes how vertical and horizontal movements are precived

thus stretched res will need slight relearning regarding mouse controll

unless u set up your dpi of x and y to be ofset then a 45° diagonal mouse movement will be precived as a 45° diagonal look input

if anybody wants to agrue that invert your mouse inputs that will be a extreme version of altering tge precived inputs
if u will have no problem adjusting as if its nothing id down to change my mind

Context: basic movements like looking up or down doing a rough 90° or 180° turn eventually become muscle memory
this also includes looking up or down to the side diagonally in a 45° angle

which strafe should i use more often mirror or anti-mirror

[leaden loom]

can you teach me how to install the game

if anything id say mirror most peoples brains are hardwired to anti mirror but generally speaking bias strafing is better

how do u plug in a controller

[devout tusk]

nah

[true ravine]

Ash got banned first game then alter

playing wraith all games was the most consistent choice

[keen scarab]

yes but that’s also not a great reason to play someone

like right now i wouldn’t want to play wattson or rampart first game because caustic would get banned 2nd game, caustic is just so much better

i think wraith just has great rotates

even if she can’t fight as well as ash or reset as well as alter

[cunning crane]

I’ve built a specialized aim training playlist to help you master assault rifle mechanics across all FPS titles. Since ARs are versatile mid range weapons that reward precision and control, this routine targets the core aim skills: tracking, target switching, and dynamic clicking.

Unlike generic aim trainer drills, this playlist is designed to build raw mouse control that translates directly into better performance in actual shooters, not just higher scores in aim trainers. Please try it out, I'd love to hear your feedback. ❤️

https://go.aimlab.gg/v1/redirects?link=aimlab%3A%2F%2Fworkshop%3Fid%3D0%26source%3D6CC45D58A94E5078&link=steam%3A%2F%2Frungameid%2F714010

[tight totem]

bunch of yap

[mental ridge]

filthy Chester

cant wait for the antichester to get you

[cunning crane]

Or maybe you just don't understand it? Don't be so rude.

[tight totem]

aren't aim trainers main thing to build raw mouse control that translate directly into better performance in actual shooter anyway

and ur saying that ur playlist is a groundbreaking innovation that does that

[bleak sage]

i agree with this

there's nothing groundbreaking about it tbh unless it can take recoils from ACTUAL ars in fps games and has it in the playlist/scenarios in the playlist

[cunning crane]

Aim training doesn’t always translate directly into better in game performance. Sometimes, people create tasks or playlists that are difficult simply because of how fast the target moves, sometimes so fast that it’s hard to track even with your eyes. This is pointless, there’s no game where a target moves so fast that you can’t properly look at it.

Lots of aim training tasks have targets that are too large, even in benchmark scenarios. Grinding those benchmarks can improve overall raw mouse control, but I focus on tasks that specifically enhance the type of raw control most relevant across all shooter games: the ability to hit small targets accurately and quickly.

In most shooters, the targets you shoot are relatively small compared to the rest of your screen. That’s the skill that matters most, and that’s what I train for.

[severe canyon]

Surely most players recognise that their aim won’t improve from only doing easy scenes and naturally progress into harder scenes anyway though

[cunning crane]

I don't think you understood my point...

Did you read what I wrote?

[severe canyon]

Yeah

[severe canyon]

This also doesn’t really matter in apex because small targets need the projectile speed accounted for anyway

[cunning crane]

Projectile speed is something completely different to raw aim, developing the right situational raw aim is still really beneficial

[bright slate]

Whats the point in an ar guide

Its always the easiest class to use

[cunning crane]

Low skill entry doesn't always equal low skill ceiling

[bright slate]

Sure it does

[severe canyon]

Why on small targets though when they won’t be hitscan situations

[bright slate]

None of the rifles in apex are hard to use or master

[cunning crane]

In apex the skill gap for SMGs is having good recoil control and tracking in short ranged but you shouldn't hold ARs to those same standards

[bright slate]

Recoil control is a non factor in most smg engagements

[cunning crane]

So if you came up against a top 1% AR player you think you'd be able to break even with them in mid range aim duels?

[bright slate]

Yeah

[cunning crane]

then I have nothing more to say

no point

[bright slate]

Lmk when r3 outdamages 10x flatline headshots

[severe canyon]

In this situation I have a charge rifle anyway

[opaque ridge]

.;

[cunning crane]

There is going to be a separation between a good AR player and an entry level AR player, the skill gap is having good micro adjustments and mid to long range control, the further away your target is the harder it becomes to shoot them, but if you're good with an AR you will be able to pump out effective damage for longer ranges. Additionally in short ranges because your dps is lower than SMGs extracting value from using an AR can be more difficult.

You can also 1 clip with ARs. 1 clipping isn't just an SMG thing, it's something you can do with ARs too and the more capable you are with ARs the further away you can 1 clip people from

low skill floor doesn't always equal low skill celling

[severe canyon]

But this is much better practiced in game because guns have recoil and projectile speeds

You’re missing the point

For mid range it would help but your playlist isn’t for that, is it?

[cunning crane]

My playlist is ideal to develop mid range capabilities in my opinion

when you compare the size of the targets in the playlist to the size of the targets you're often shooting in game with an AR it's very similar

[severe canyon]

Ok bud, if you think it’s good for that sort of stuff then you’re probably right, sorry if I was being a twerp

[cunning crane]

Nah you weren't

it's a civil discussion

[mental ridge]

idk what games u play but if i do 1v1s with some movement heads they geniunly are on controlesphere intermediate advanced level

Also ingame there a movement speed buffs and some controller players just do aids ad spam

and if youre stuck in a tight space u gotta ad spam aswell so its gonna be hard to track enemies

[cunning crane]

@mental ridge controlsphere is good, I'm not saying the benches are bad at all but my main goal with this playlist was to improve the aiming skill with ARs that comes up most often

[cunning crane]

In a tight space you can hipfire mirror strafe

[mental ridge]

(anti) mirror strafing is always a gamble

[cunning crane]

What's your definition of gamble?

Anti mirror is better for roller players because of how rotational aim assist works

Mirror strafe is better on MnK

[bright slate]

Anything 50/50 is a gamble

[mental ridge]

because if u (anti) mirror movements and the enemie is aware its just a straight up who has steadier aim battle

if u strafe independently its about whos better at reactive tracking

[cunning crane]

mirror strafing isn't 50/50 though, its a skill that can be developed

implementing mirror strafing in my gameplay was the final piece of the puzzel that got me to masters (obviously there's other things to work on too but in this instance this is what did it for me)

[bright slate]

I didnt say it was

[cunning crane]

wolf called it a gamble

[hushed forge]

"reaction time training for F1 drivers is useless, in a race theyll never be catching falling objects or pressing buttons as fast as possible"

do you see how fucking stupid that sounds

the point of training isnt to train for specific in game scenarios, you play the game for that

[hushed forge]

as in with identical target models and speed

like the tracking example you said

sure, people wont move like that in game

but if you can accurately track a small, fast moving target then it makes tracking the bigger, slow targets in game a LOT easier

compared to if you only train 1:1 replicas of in game targets

if Im training to run a marathon when training I dont run only to 42 miles

then I immediately stop

Im going to push past that so when I get to the actual marathon itself itll feel easier

fuck up

[true ravine]

Your method is shooting far targets?

and Aim Trainer translates directly to better in game performance

what u saying is the same thing as "Cardio doesnt translates directly to better performance in football"

Aim trainers are meant to improve your motor skill, being 1 fundamental mechanic that needs to be mixed with all the other mechanics necessary to your game.

[gentle dagger]

For ranked should i main alter or ash

im kinda in the middle for both

both fun af

[keen scarab]

if you are communicating with your teammates probably alter, if not just play ash

[gentle dagger]

im duoed with someone

dont usually have a 3rd

[keen scarab]

alter would be good then

unless you like ash more

[outer sleet]

I don't know exactly what the meta is cause I kinda gave up on ranked atm but I found them both kinda mid

well 8k is a bit buggy on apex
everything up to 4o works perfectly fine assuming your specs and windows optimizations are good enought

just tapstrafing
so no funky wasd inputs while scrolling ?

i tried to learn to mantle jump and couldnt

that was like 2 yrs ago

does window even allow 2k+ ?

I heard something about it so i'm a bit confused

[devout tusk]

what are we saying bro

[mental ridge]

win 11 with the righ pc specs and some basic optimizations runs 8k perfectly stable for me its just the games shitting themselves when they see 8000 unread messages from my mouse every second

[mental ridge]

mantle jump is just a gimmick

lurchstrafing is useful if anything
i find peaking corners with a rasstrafe quiet useful

[grave marten]

i see, tnx

[gentle dagger]

never seen lurk straffing

[mental ridge]

but 7k is totally fin in apex

[mental ridge]

lurch

[gentle dagger]

lurch mb

[mental ridge]

@gentle dagger

[gentle dagger]

lemme watch these ty

im guessing this is just on octanr

or like youll see it more on octance

[mental ridge]

or those if some people catch me out of cover and i wanna avoid taking too much dmg omw to cover

[mental ridge]

nope

can be successfully done on any legend but its obviously easier with any kind of speed boost

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/575758199064625168/1398251834878984273/tapstrafe.mp4?ex=68d66bff&is=68d51a7f&hm=6a074b210a56ef5f0beae4ca383a0740eb4d1443d7ad82030038d3be5904f174&

obviously the better the enemie the more u have to he selective about when you lurch

https://youtu.be/SqwHLkfoUrQ?si=GPoY2JbR1Q4y53JK

hes like one of the few movement pros

[gentle dagger]

that movement is nice af

im also debating whether to use stretched or not

but I do like the look of everything when its stretched

[cunning crane]

But they do actually train for realistic race scenarios in training too. What you've done is take the most far removed from the actual activity form of training for racing and then compared it to my method to train specific when in reality race drivers do also train for specific race scenarios too.

[cunning crane]

Wrong. You're comparing training cardio to football performance. I'm comparing aim training to in game aiming - much more specific, it's more like comparing cardio to running in football as apose to comparing cardio to the overall game of football.

[keen scarab]

i used to be really into movement when i got into apex in 2021

i just got back into the game after not playing for 4 years but now i really don’t care about movement

[keen scarab]

does anyone else just not see improvement in this game from playing kovaaks?

[timid creek]

yall I know most people turn down graphics all the way low but I feel like I struggle seeing enemies far away

any like

setting I should turn up

[timid creek]

I think my tracking is much better in game, not sure its been awhile since I actually played apex but I was superrrr ass

[keen scarab]

i feel like r5 and just playing the game has been more productive for me

[timid creek]

I usually play valorant so honestly my tracking has pretty much only really improved from benchmarks

[lapis moat]

i get more gains from shooting bots in the range than r5 at this point

[bright slate]

R5 is mirror clipfarm

[lapis moat]

r5 just isnt what it used to be

[bright slate]

Yeah...

[lapis moat]

everyone is dogshit mnk or roller

[bright slate]

Truke

[lapis moat]

so theres nothing to learn from playing it because you just win or lose to people cheesing

[bright slate]

I dont see many pros on it anymorw

Ig comp scene is dying

[lapis moat]

and also they still havent aligned the strafe accel to the main game or fix crouch spamming

before its kind of excusable cuz it was still new but now its just pointless

[keen scarab]

so what would you recommend

i'm so done with kovaaks

idek why i play it

[lapis moat]

for me i either play the actual game, look for comp TDMs, or play quake

[keen scarab]

comp tdms sound fun

[lapis moat]

or range 1v1s instead

bit more downtime than r5 but it's pretty decent practice

the main thing with playing these 1v1s is to get used to how fast people move and to improve your own reading

[keen scarab]

yea

i have the most fun playing the actual game

but i just need to get my aim a little better

[lapis moat]

it depends on what you struggle with in terms of aim

different issues have different solutions

[keen scarab]

idet it's just mouse control really

more like a mix of recoil, strafes, kinda bad wide angle tracking, terrible prediction

[bright slate]

Just assume they arent gonna change directions imo

[lapis moat]

eh

[keen scarab]

idk

it's like i have a small sweet spot where i use my wrist and can track very well

but once they make me move my mouse out of the area and kind of leave my fov, i start to mess up

it's more of an r5 problem though, in game this has never happened

but it looks pretty bad in r5

[lapis moat]

sounds like an arm aiming issue

[keen scarab]

i think it is

i really only aim with my wrist

i don't like using my arm

[lapis moat]

same

you can get away with it a lot but some fights its unavoidable

especially on r5 where you can get wide swung a lot more

[keen scarab]

yea

also doesn’t help that i play kovaaks at 20cm to help with smoothness

i’m viscose celadon rn, idk what rank that is in voltaic

maybe diamond

[cunning crane]

You're probably playing scenarios that are too different from apex, I've posted a playlist I made which has personally helped me improve my in game aim. Additionally you need to make sure you cap your fps and match yoyr aim trainer fps to the same as your in game fps.

[lapis moat]

?

[hallow sail]

??

[outer sleet]

Well if I may I feel like you're the one who is missing the point. In an aim trainer we train our mouse control, or the ability to move our mouse and manipulate our crosshair exactly the way we want it to move. So basically it only makes sense to go for harder and harder scenarios even though the targets in game often don't move like that. Granted I didn't check out your playlist, and it might be good but the way you described it it feels kinda useless. Aiming with an ar in lets say apex isn't hard because the target is too small and I can't track it. Its factors like recoil and bullet drop and speed. You can't make a playlist that helps train those aspects

[cunning crane]

The idea behind the playlists is that you train different types of mouse control and the difficulty comes from the targets being small as appose to being so fast they're difficult to track with your eyes

[tight totem]

the fps thing is a stretch

no matter how u divide the pizza god damn it

[outer sleet]

I'm sure its good idk

[cunning crane]

If you just try it I want to see what you think, I need feedback lol... it's definetly helped me with my aim in game

[outer sleet]

Alr I'll try later I guess

[cunning crane]

Cool 🙂 I'm planning to make a 2.0 at some point and develop this idea, helps to get second opinions

[outer sleet]

like you get rewarded for not playing the game bro

[outer sleet]

did it again

[tight totem]

that's the lobby fault

lowkey

the system is alright

[keen scarab]

imo that's not a bad thing

it is a battle royale

Nope. Vod downloader bugged.

[mental ridge]

then u gonna cramp your neck looking at the bottom monitor

[outer sleet]

I'm pretty sure its like beneficial to look slightly upwards

Do you guys use any bind for Sparrow and Ash to not get dash or double jump while wall bouncing?

[outer sleet]

It's not an option u fortunately

And never did

HugoWolfy keeps running into me at the worst moments

[shrewd pollen]

nah u r good

[glossy apex]

when you do the b hops at the end, do you still have normal 1-2-2 mouse grip because you don't ads? and only use 1-3-1 when you know you want to ads like f ex on rampart

[bleak sage]

what resolution is that

1920x1440?

[placid root]

Yeah, I usually only 131 grip if I have to ADS

[placid root]

I think so? It's 1440p 5:4

[bleak sage]

i wanna play that res so bad but i dont have a wide screen monitor

💔

[placid root]

You don't need to have a widescreen monitor.

Mine is 16:9

[bleak sage]

wait really?

[placid root]

Yes

[bleak sage]

anytime i try to set it 1920x1440 it doesnt work

it just sets it to native res

[placid root]

You just need to add it in nvidia control panel, or for AMD, there was a thing for custom resolutions

You also need some launch options. I recommend searching it up.

[bleak sage]

yeah i have them

ive used a lot of other stretched reses for apex

[placid root]

Ah

[bleak sage]

but 1920x1440 is the only one that doesnt work for me

[placid root]

Do you have a 1440p monitor

[bleak sage]

dont think so

[placid root]

Then yeah, you have to use a 1080p 5:4 res

Because the vertical pixel count of 1440 wouldn't fit in your 1080p monitor

[bleak sage]

i got an evil ass pc

doesnt let me switch res

[placid root]

Wtf

[bleak sage]

yeah

[bleak sage]

it does this at least once a day

and i have to restart my pc a couple times to get the options back

and yes my drivers are updated

[placid root]

😭

[devout tusk]

amazing

[outer sleet]

nice

[mental ridge]

https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Scaled-Resolution-Editor-SRE

with that util u can add any res

u should be able to select it ingame aslong as the vertical res matches your monitor or is lower

[mental ridge]

your name sounds like a custom firearms manufacturewr

[lapis moat]

because it is

they made the awp

[mental ridge]

iom prouid of myself

[mental ridge]

i remember now

thos guys in a shack buildin g it for the britts

[outer sleet]

3 stack controller pred ash team in my wildcard lobby

just kill me now

[mental ridge]

thats how i can play 2304x1440p without any commands or programs just add it to the res list of my graphicsdriver and select it ingame

[dull falcon]

Are all the 43 ratio make the ui fucked

[bright slate]

Yeah

Idk if theres a special rez that doesnt do that

[elder kayak]

Guys, suggest someone who has bad mouse control but great strafing.

[bright slate]

no one

[outer sleet]

hell ye love it when the ring pulls to the other side of the map so I have to tank it the whole game

[bright slate]

strafing is harder than mouse control imo

[outer sleet]

and then die to timer

[elder kayak]

damn

[lapis moat]

theres a few on r5 back then but its rare for people to have good dodge but bad aim

[elder kayak]

i see

[lethal yew]

[keen scarab]

i just switched to this res and 120 fov from 2397x1440 and 110 fov

it's so much better

[mental ridge]

youre welcome

[mental ridge]

idk what math u dis to think 2397x1440p would be a good res

[keen scarab]

wym

i just did the math for what 1798x1080 would be

[keen scarab]

i saw this right after i switched

so it was a sign

to stay on it

[mental ridge]

what aspect ratio is that supposed to be

[glossy chasm]

Yo

[mental ridge]

16:9.5

[glossy chasm]

guys I am new to apex

and i need help

[mental ridge]

plug in a controller unless youre mental resilience is insane

[glossy chasm]

I play on keyboard mouse....

[glossy chasm]

well as for a new player i am not "yet" tilted by anything and just exploring the game for now

I bet i will be at that state if i want to climb ranks seriously at some point

[mental ridge]

no it starts when u start to distinguish pc controller players from mnk players

[glossy chasm]

climbing ranks that depends on my absolutely trash skills in tracking rn I wanted help with somethin different

[glossy chasm]

idk wth this community on about that

[mental ridge]

if u want a tracking game play the finals more beginner friendly than apex imo

[mental ridge]

its just annoying to see controller players since they all mostly just play controller for aimassist

[glossy chasm]

I wanted to ask what is the most value for "Heriloom Shards" items you can get because I was grinding to unlock octane and got these shards from a pack that looks like a robotic ant and when I went on internet I just see people being crazy over "How to get them" instead of "what can you get with them"

[mental ridge]

if aimassist was propperly balanced to the point where its slightly worse than mnk in every range than barely anybody would play it

[mental ridge]

lucky you

[glossy chasm]

I have played that and now i started apex and seriously I cant stop shooting windows and bumping my head in them and then looking for the door

[mental ridge]

lmao

[mental ridge]

i would say a universal heirloom is the most value
i personally realy like the karambit

its not legend specific

[glossy chasm]

Oh the red one I saw it one of my friend said the same thing

[keen scarab]

[keen scarab]

it's the lowest you can go on 110 fov tbh

[glossy chasm]

I have 800 hrs on Valorant......

God forbid a guy who plays that for fun unless you're not playing a spike rush

[keen scarab]

well valorant is not fun

but if you aren't having fun, why bother?

[cunning peak]

your have no idea the boiling i feel when i spectate someone and within 1-2 seconds i realize they're on pad...

in settings you can not submit to lb, some people do this to be shadowgrinders. it also prevents your kovaaks dot com profile from incrementing play count, some people do it for that reason as well to seem like they dont play as mich as they do. idk abt lb ban, could be that too but not sure

[ocean flame]

Shadowgrinding WR?

Crazy

[somber osprey]

Hello guys
Is it worth installing and playing apex in 2025? I played it only around 30hrs back when it came out

[devout tusk]

just saying the non-ban possibilities, idk who this guy is.

there have been shadow aimer gods in the past tho

[hallow sail]

@high crest @round vector @lusty vault

[outer sleet]

That depends. If you wanna play apex casually then no. But if you are somewhat competitive then go for it

It is prolly one of the least beginner friendly games so keep that in mind

[somber osprey]

Oh okay… 🙁

[elder kayak]

The game treats you like a toxic girlfriend 🤕

[somber osprey]

Is it that Hard? What is your Rank?

[hallow sail]

It’s like smoking

You’re better off not starting

You can’t quit once ur addicted

[somber osprey]

🫠

[elder kayak]

I don't play ranked much but every rank feels horrible

Even low level player can one clip you

[somber osprey]

Oh okay

[outer sleet]

It is mentally taxing lets just put it that way

[verbal slate]

its easy there is hidden mmr you will be put against bots

[outer sleet]

well until you aren't

[scenic wasp]

new wildcard mode is fun and beginner friendly imo. give it a shot

[mental ridge]

HOLY SHIT EA JUST GOT BOUGHT UP

and they wanna leave the stock market

imagine apex will now not be finance driven but quality driven

we have a reason to hope now

[bright slate]

bit late for that

[mental ridge]

a bit late but rather later than never

[mental ridge]

well it could worsen everything aswell

[somber osprey]

How big is Apex actually these days, are a lot of people still playing it? Especially compared to Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, Valorant, CS:GO, Rainbow, etc. Or is the game dead by now?

[shrewd pollen]

rn there is 70k people playing it from steam

so not really dead

[somber osprey]

cs2 are ~1,1m 😮

[glossy chasm]

guys when is season 27 dropping and is the dual katana or whip worth waiting

idk if I should save them or get Raptor's claw

[outer sleet]

no idea

if the idea of a dual catana excites you just save it

I personally didn't even know about it so ye

[inner linden]

wtf are you saying the game isnt dead

[wintry cypress]

But it should be 🗣

[glossy chasm]

it does but why do i feel like apex is gonna ruin the blades be keepin them so long that it goes out of the screan or else occupies too much of screen space

also what inspects you can have for it while running

when you hear word "Karambit" you know its gonna be some cool spinning shi

what can you expect from katanas i just dk duh

FEELS LIKE I WILL SAVE JUST FOR DISSAPOINTMENT MAYBE I DONT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN

[severe canyon]

When will they learn there’s nothing wrong with short things

It’s girth that matters

[outer sleet]

Worst case scenario is that it comes out, it sucks and you buy the karambit anyway

It's not like you have anything to lose

[glossy chasm]

how long do i have to wait bro thats why i asked when is it releasing

[devout tusk]

why does this even matter lmao, u gonna go pro bro? 30 hours in season 31265 you worried bout the scene being dried up before your big break or what

[true ravine]

2 months until next season

[thorn swallow]

why is pubs so hard bro these dudes are trying harder than the diamond pred lobbies

[mental ridge]

cs had decades to build a following

[compact fulcrum]

Hi there, I'm looking for recommendations on getting my sensitivity right, Im currently using .75 1600 dpi, idk what cm360 was that

[barren jackal]

jscalc.io/embed/Q1gf45VCY4tmm2dq

use that site or any other sens calculator for that

and honestly the sens range for Apex is very big

everything between 25 and 55cm is very reasonable

[compact fulcrum]

34.6cm

[barren jackal]

yeah that sens is totally fine

[compact fulcrum]

yeah I searched for pros's eens and saw that

but maybe there was some resoning to check my own sens

[barren jackal]

just play around with it
what helped me personally was playing kovaaks across many different sensitivities (as you're kinda supposed to anyway), the usual things like playing static on low sens, dynamic/ts on mid sens and tracking on higher sens

[compact fulcrum]

yeah im playing kov like taht

right now im doing viscose b,

bm

[barren jackal]

yess and maybe even exaggerating the sensitivities might help you

[compact fulcrum]

yep, just hit a pb with 24cm360

in a tracking scen

[barren jackal]

i was also struggeling with finding my sens, actively tried everything between in that range that I just mentioned and by doing that it finally settled to 37cm & i don't have to think about my sens anymore

[compact fulcrum]

hmm

what about resolution?

im trying 2048 x 1024

kinda trippy

[barren jackal]

that's even simpler, don't even overthink it

native is as fine as stretched

i personally was using 1620*1050 16:10 for a long time but this year i switched back to native because of comfort (alt tabbing, etc)

gameplay wise it makes barely any difference

[compact fulcrum]

wdym? i have that res and can alt tab with no problem

chek this soft out

[barren jackal]

do you have multiple monitors?

[compact fulcrum]

https://monitortests.com/scaled-resolution-editor\

[compact fulcrum]

nope

[barren jackal]

yeah that explains it

[compact fulcrum]

ahh its a multiple monitor issue?

[barren jackal]

having multiple monitors and playing on stretched res fucks around with alt tabbing

[compact fulcrum]

didnt considerate that

anyways that program rocks, sos simple yet effective

?

using this i added 2304x1440p (16:10) to my scaled resolution list

my nvidia scaling setting is literally set to force no scaling at all

my monitor is set to 16:9 aspect ratio scaling

may game is set to 2304x1440p and fullscreen

is there an issue or i didnt understand the mesage sry

EA’s New Owners Want “Streamlined” Game Development by Using AI for Quicker Profits

[wintry cypress]

wow

lowk thought it would be good for EA

but nah

[brisk jacinth]

who could ever think, that ea could step to an even lower level. I thought we already reached rock bottom but I guess I still have a lot to learn

[wintry cypress]

they need to go bankrupt before they learn something i guess

[brisk jacinth]

nah, I feel like they are like parasites, that won't die and will annoy you till the end of time

[wintry cypress]

the even more annoying thing is most of their games are ass nowadays but sometimes they actually release something remotely decent like battlefield 6 thats releasing this month

[bright slate]

i assumed they would get worse after the saudis bought them

the quick work is commendable though

[devout tusk]

used 2 call that shovelware

[elder kayak]

But when I post a video here, no one reviews it

[mental ridge]

than chop it up in short clips

[keen yoke]

This is only if you play in exclusive fullscreen. If you use borderless windowed (and enable windows fullscreen optimizations for games, you'll get the same performance as before), and change your Nvidia (or AMD) setting to scale games to fullscreen then you won't have this issue

[woeful garnet]

yo

Why am i joining the range and theres people in that shit

[elder kayak]

https://youtube.com/shorts/PlTMQJ3QuZ0?si=aMkB_a8x6sM8DGID

I wanna try this

[devout tusk]

thats been a bug for like 4 years

[outer sleet]

They should just make it a feature at this point

You could que up for 1s and shi

[final forge]

No not really. But either way I would highly recommend using the launch commands -h and -w to set the wanted resolution. Afaik this will use the engine scaler and wont change any alt tabbing behaviour + this allowes for supersampling and therefore eliminating the blurry upscaling that the common 16:10 and 4:3 resolutions suffer from

16:10 resolutions:

-w 1920 -h 1200
-w 2560 -h 1600
-w 3840 -h 2400

4:3 resolutions:

-w 1920 -h 1440

[mental ridge]

bro you were gate keeping for so long

[final forge]

No one was asking so I was not gatekeeping

[mental ridge]

u should have known im a sucker fr nerdshit

[mental ridge]

downscaled stretched looks SOOOOO much better

[mental ridge]

@dull falcon uwu?

[mental ridge]

well it feels shit compared to 2304x1440 tho so who cares about how it looks

[hallow sail]

[dull falcon]

Si

[final forge]

~33% higher pixel count. So yes on mid range gpu‘s that will probably make a diffrence

[mental ridge]

23% more than 2304x1440
stretched

and 11% more than 1440p native

and native 2560x1440 und 2304x1440 feel really similar in the latency department

i got a feeling it has something to do with the downscaling
i dont think my monitor allows for down scaling

[devout tusk]

look at your calculator again bro

[mental ridge]

i like my calculatorapp its the app version of my highschool calculator

[devout tusk]

oh wait i read the rest of the convo i thought you were comparing 2304 to native myfault

thought 1600 was a typo basically

20% is a lot either way, pixel count is a linear relationship with render cost basically

[final forge]

no not really

[devout tusk]

im a graphics programmer

[mental ridge]

@final forge if i use the 2560x1600 is it supposed to not show it in the resolution ingame setting but the lowest possible 16:10

[devout tusk]

like theres overhead obviously but calculations are done per pixel so u add more pixels you do more work, add super sampling and now even more work (but not that much)

[final forge]

Ok let's put it this way. In theory it scales basically linear but in reality it's not always the case

[final forge]

no it won't show in game

[devout tusk]

thats why i said basically lol

[mental ridge]

@round vector

show us your powers

[devout tusk]

in reality u have overhead + pixelcost and bandwidth makes it more complicated but point is a big increase in pixelcount = big increase in pixelcost, and is less ambiguous than going from like "low" to "medium" shadows

u have no idea what those graphics settings are actually doing usually so its hard to gauge their cost, but with pixelcount u have the exact % increase u feel me

[mental ridge]

can we go back to the toppic on why 1600 stretched feels so dogwater latency wise that i couldn't hit shit
also it was against my expectations so placebo is off the table

[devout tusk]

whats gpu usage

[final forge]

But that's why i said in theory. When going from 1080p to 1440p in games you usually loose ~30% of performance and not the 77% the pixel count increase indicates

[devout tusk]

yeah i worded the initial comment wrong i shouldnt have said total rendering cost. cause passing geo and shadow calculation can be a lot and dont care about scene resolution. how it scales at the end depends on those other things too

[final forge]

i'd say placebo

[mental ridge]

yeah sure i expect there to be no difference thats why i cant aim for shit

im sorry but unless u can propperly reason why i would i have a placebo effect against my expectations u gotta accept that im sensetive to latency changes

[ocean flame]

Classic wolf noticing every 0.5ms of latency

[mental ridge]

well why not

aiming is a quiet latency sensetive thing

[ocean flame]

How many ms can you notice btw

0.5 ms fr?

[mental ridge]

probably not
but its hard to put numbers on that stuff since its hard to test

like how u gonna meassure mousemovent latency
between 2 different resolutions

[wise brook]

well if you look closely on the right bottom side you can see it says sh_4rk

so thats why

[mental ridge]

@wise brook

[wise brook]

fuck

sigh

[mental ridge]

youre a BIT late

[wise brook]

you make my life harder

sigh

[mental ridge]

[final forge]

thats for you to figure out, I just retested and everything worked perfectly fine for me

I even get the same frame times

[mental ridge]

i got a feeling it has to do with the scaling

[final forge]

[final forge]

why would it, upscaling downscaling it's all the same

[mental ridge]

i can run both with the setting beeing no scaling and force onto monitor

[final forge]

well for me it works and for everyone I told it also worked

all I know is that reflex on causes the scroll jump double inputs

[mental ridge]

@round vector

[mental ridge]

well working and working flawlessly are 2 really different things

2304x1440 is intended to work
its selectable ingame
2560x1600 isnt neturally working

[final forge]

of course it is, even for 2304x1440 on dsc monitors this is the dev recommended way of playing 16:10 since dsc locks customs res

[devout tusk]

sub 1ms is detectable on draging style inputs there was a study

[mental ridge]

sounds reasonable to me

[devout tusk]

yeah im not surprised at all, human brain is super adaptable/trainable too. i want to see more experiments on actually training these things rather than "can people notice this"

[inner willow]

Did they get rid of duos?

[glossy apex]

nah

gotta click the little thing in the corner

[inner willow]

Ahhh… Thank you

[glossy apex]

Yo I finally got diamond complete lessgoo!

just barely too lol

5 scores are literally exactly diamond

switching is my weakest ategory tho so I just stopped once I got dia

[mental ridge]

work on your controll tracking

[mental ridge]

yeah i think i might be a bit sensetive because i spend hundreds if not thousands of hours comparing different settings in nvidia controllpanel
going in game playing a bit of firingrange and or mixtape
changing some settings arround again
and so on

i still do it to this day

obviously its hard to tell whats better but not if it actually changes anything

[glossy apex]

ye ik, I've lowkey been neglecting it because I was bad at it when I started, but I could prob get a better score now tbh

[mental ridge]

imo raw control is alot of fun

and controllspere is apparently really good for apex

controll tracking is less about fast reactions and more about acceleration deceleration reading

[glossy apex]

I've heard ppl saying that ye

I kinda just grinded reactive cuz I thought it was the most similar to apex

but unless I'm tracking xzylas or something it's prob not that relevant

at least not past like diamond lvl ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[novel loom]

So pred cap is like 17.5k that’s super low considering how long into the season we been

[novel loom]

Reactive tracking is most similar to apex, you were right in grinding that

[earnest ravine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjM3R2PjOKQ

[outer sleet]

Only 17k? I would've expected wayy more

But that makes sense actually

[outer sleet]

But ref told me to grind smoothbot

And controlsphere

[novel loom]

controlsphere and smoothbot are both great for apex. but if u master ground plaza fundamentals u will be a monster close/mid range

[novel loom]

yeah which shows the difficulty of this season. wouldnt be suprised to see a lot of masters player hardstuck diamond

[outer sleet]

Please stop twisting the knife bro it already hurts

Though its kinda my fault not even attempting to find a 3 stack

[novel loom]

nah man its how it should be, previous seasons have been way to easy

[outer sleet]

True

[novel loom]

end games are so fun rn, actually have to use ur brain

[outer sleet]

I'll give it a try at some point but I might take a break from apex

[novel loom]

i take month long breaks swearing to never play again lol

[outer sleet]

I'll be grinding valorant cause I actually got friends playing that game

[novel loom]

val is cool

[outer sleet]

I want to play but there's noone

And my mouse control is still ass so I won't solo carry any time soon

I at least want to reach master complete before I try anything

[novel loom]

mouse control is a easy fix, be consistent, have a growth mindset, read guides, and vod review

[outer sleet]

I know but it takes time

[novel loom]

also forcing ur self to practice the hard stuff

yes

def takes times

time*

[outer sleet]

Ye

I also don't have a shit ton of time to burn on this but I'll try my best

[ocean flame]

yea this. plaza has always been the apex thing control is far too overrated
