apex

[mental ridge]

its just map cursor thats raw input

[vague nexus]

apex is kinda fun when you dont play ranked

exept when you run into these type of people

cheating in a casual mode where people spend their time after work to relax

[wild sedge]

which setting improves weapon skin quality

[severe canyon]

Texture streaming budget

[placid root]

My old playstyle, oh how I missed it 😭

[primal yoke]

your mouse and keyboard sound so good

[primal yoke]

or are this mechvibes settings?

[vague nexus]

I have an old wooting and the new deathadder

[primal yoke]

damn, they sound sooo good

[vague nexus]

I like the beast x switches, but the mouse is too small for me

Deathadder is like the only mouse i can grip

Or the ogm cloud

[primal yoke]

deathadder is a nice og mouse tho

[vague nexus]

It is

The scrollwheel still sucks tho

I can already tell it will break in the next 6 months

[primal yoke]

on my roccat it scrolls in both directions sometimes 😭

[vague nexus]

Same thing happens to razer and logitech mice in like a year

Some people win the silicon lottery and get one that lasts forever

[quaint karma]

ain’t no relaxing in wildcard

[vague nexus]

its better than normal trios

where you fight for 3 minutes, then look for enemies for the next 10

[mental ridge]

i find wildcard boring

there are no goddamn stakes and people can kill yoo so easily by just dropping on your head

[vague nexus]

its good practice for shooting

really intense

[bright slate]

they should buff it

MFGA

[wintry cypress]

honestly i feel like its been worse

[mental ridge]

the flatline hipfire i remember is laser beam

even 10-20 meters away

[elder kayak]

don't you have to crouch spam to shoot accurately?

[rose wraith]

It’s just unreliable period after the nerfs

ADS your first 2-3 rounds then feather the ADS for the rest

[placid root]

fuck this meta tbh

Average Battle Royale experience

Looks like you have been shoot by 3 ppl 🤔

unfortunately its the main mode

you alr know

[outer sleet]

yoo any good scenarios I should add for apex? I kinda just threw a playlist together to play between ques but ye

[wintry cypress]

Idk i feel like ground plaza sparky is lowk easy af

But i always played V2 maybe V3 is diff

[wintry cypress]

U should prob add clicking scens as well ngl

At the very least static

[old snow]

Clicking? In my tracking game??

https://tenor.com/view/fadding-homelander-gif-16156538903600882075

[outer sleet]

static for apex? I didn't see that coming ngl

I will though

[wintry cypress]

Bro never used a wingman 😭

[wintry cypress]

At least a little bit yeah

All i do is 3 runs of 1w4ts lol

[primal yoke]

this is kinda good

I am also going to do that, great idea

[elder kayak]

Wait steam let's you play multiple games simultaneously?

[outer sleet]

yes

its steam bruh

[elder kayak]

i never tried it lol

thought it would crash the other game

[wraith wyvern]

what his VT Rank? his tracking on point 🙂

[wraith wyvern]

i challenge you to play like that with R99 or Volt

[elder kayak]

https://www.twitch.tv/mande/clip/JoyousRespectfulPorcupineStoneLightning-qVFM2TPgWXxmj3Sl

me playing rank

[vague nexus]

No rank, just generational talent

[tardy atlas]

Hey guys

Recently started aim training

Any tips to get consistent?

[polar iris]

Controller

[wintry cypress]

focus on good technique so you dont need to re learn it when you get to jade/master vt rank

[empty thistle]

Cloverrawcontrol easy and aa4 voltaic easy. Pat strafe probably too

[empty thistle]

Blasphemy

Fuck static

[empty thistle]

I feel like v3 has value up until you’re hitting around 900 on it

It’s also the original gm tracking score which is somewhat cool

Cloverrawcontrol did so much for my mid range aim in apex icl

[wintry cypress]

Yea

But s3 ground plaza was defo the best imo

[wintry cypress]

I just play air lol

[bright slate]

cloverrawcontrol imo

[empty thistle]

I need to actually play air

[placid root]

I used to 😐

But they nerfed the spread on the R99

so only Volt is usable now

[wintry cypress]

I play and im still hardstuck lol

[bright slate]

just ads

[wintry cypress]

Cant beat 864

[bright slate]

toggle ads and antimirror

[empty thistle]

I’m trying to get 10k clover raw control easy still

Still stuck at 9.6k 🥀

Tho I only play like 5 mins a day these days

[empty thistle]

Time for some extreme methods

[placid root]

My aim has plateau'd for the past 2 years

Stuck Voltaic diamond, because I don't know what's wrong with my fundamentals

granted, I don't practice on Kovaak's

[elder kayak]

I miss her

[outer sleet]

Dude you are vt diamond?

I thought you were like gm

[placid root]

I do dogshit on Benchmarks

[outer sleet]

fairs

[bright slate]

just grind cloverrawcontrol for 3 years

[wintry cypress]

Just aimtrain for 6 years 💔

Brutal

[bright slate]

[outer sleet]

I mean at this point if I was stuck for 2 years I'd just get a coach and see whats up

[tight totem]

what the hell

[bright slate]

meh

[wintry cypress]

Yea but rayn doesnt aimtrain at all lmao hes just maxed out his vt rank

[outer sleet]

What?

[tight totem]

isn't gm really high

like

goat status high

[outer sleet]

Ye but he has really good clips

Maybe not gm but masters

[bright slate]

gm is like

starting to get fundementals down

compared to the avg fps player its good though

[outer sleet]

Well ye but the amount of people aimtraining are pretty low overall

[bright slate]

i know

[outer sleet]

So if you pullup with gm tracking you're like thanos

Idk maybe I'm tripping I've been playing apex all day my brain is fried

Wouldn't recommend go outside

[tight totem]

you're definitely thanos with gm

[wintry cypress]

I have GM tracking in VT season 3 and its rly not that crazy

Some scores are almost nova but like

Yeah its not that crazy lowk

Its just a lot of time put in

It can probably be beneficial but youd also need to play the game a lot to actually get properly good aim

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/907484009360162846/1445223419493879939/15.mp4?ex=69318af2&is=69303972&hm=403199d70e92959ad6b91403daf32c77ed66608f73212b803eaa942b04cfd670&

For example i couldve done this just as well with master scores lol

[ocean flame]

big diff between someone who can get on kovaaks anytime without training and get gm vs a grinded gm

[wintry cypress]

Idk what thats supposed to mean

[ocean flame]

it means what it means

[wintry cypress]

I mean you dont just get on kovaaks and get GM day one

You need to grind for it regardless

So i dont rly get what ur trying to say

[bright slate]

more than 50 hours = noob

[shrewd pollen]

so i would be nova atp

[outer sleet]

I mean you beat me pretty bad no?

I got aim diffed like crazy gotta lock in on that gm tracking

But I mean you don't need to be gm level to beat me to be fair

[empty thistle]

Lowkey recoil control and movement reading ingame is so much more important than just ur vt benches past masters

Maybe not even lowkey

[outer sleet]

Ye I feel like recoil control is underrated idk

Or like I don't hear people talk about it enough

[devout horizon]

@white flicker

[shrewd pollen]

nah you are good

i think you dont need really aim training for game

just be good in game

[outer sleet]

I can definitely feel the inprovement in game too not just in kovaaks

But also I feel like it works the other way around too

Like I skip a few weeks of aim training and when I get back I hit high scores on scenarios that correspond to whatever I'm playing basically

[rose wraith]

My mouse control made the biggest difference up to jade complete

At which point I felt far more capable when it came to dueling and fighting at a variety of ranges

[devout tusk]

since people became aware of recoil smoothing they just started saying u dont need recoil control just recoil smooth to look smart or something idk

being able to reactively recoil control is like the most important skill u can have for hitting shots in this game imo

[rose wraith]

This shit is stupid

Because recoil smoothing only smooths one axis

Weapons handling makes a night and day difference for tracking moving targets at mid range and anyone who says otherwise is an uninformed Jim

[bright slate]

I just aim here

[elder kayak]

Even Hollow not gm he is somewhere around dimond or jade i think and still his tracking thanos

https://youtu.be/tH7yf6vg7eA?si=I9D0-FknQ4Q7KFpz

[devout tusk]

because he has really good reading and understanding of apex movements

[elder kayak]

Ohh

[devout tusk]

more important than raw aim

[elder kayak]

Thats crazy

[devout tusk]

i had near astra air/god controlsphere when i actually played and his tracking in apex shits all over mine

[elder kayak]

How do i know if i am aiming the target or reading the target

[devout tusk]

when you really be seeing them move... u feel me

[elder kayak]

I see but i don't want to feel you 🤨

[devout tusk]

ok but you at least read me

[bright slate]

i doubt he grinds vt benches even if he plays aimtrainers

[devout tusk]

he did play them back inna day but he wasnt a grinder yea

[elder kayak]

i heard him saying in stream ' i would rather play games than shooting balls in aim trainer'

[elder kayak]

hell no

[bright slate]

yeah

i found that to be the most beneficial

[elder kayak]

yeah

[elder kayak]

is there any huge difference between 40 to 110 ping?

[tight totem]

not really

biggest gap is imo somewhere in like 200+

[tight totem]

he probably meant smth like getting consistently gm scores without playing into the scenarios too much

probably, i worded it a bit badly but

[elder kayak]

i see

[outer sleet]

Tru

Still waiting for the day he gets on the raw input podcast

[wary star]

bro

this game doesnt close and runs in background after quitting

[elder kayak]

huh which podcast he has done so far

[wild sedge]

i need yalls help

ik this all personal preference but im close to heirloom pity i already have the og wraith heirloom

but i dont really OTP her anymore so i kinda need help on which heirloom to get

is the karambit the best out of the universals?

[severe canyon]

the katanas are nice but im not sure if you can get them with shards yet

[outer sleet]

I would prolly get the bat honestly. Its something about the animation for me that clicks

[elder kayak]

same i like the bat too lol

[outer sleet]

love it when I get ressed and the game spawns me with one mozambique instead of 2

is this a real thing or just a bug?

fucking classic apex experience bro

[devout tusk]

yeah its prob coded as an attachment so you lose your attachments on respawn

[wild sedge]

are there some that are just bad ?

the sword looks fine idk

[bright slate]

all are bad

[outer sleet]

bro just look at them and pick one that you like idk

[devout tusk]

Guys which heirloom is my favorite i need someone else to think for me

[elder kayak]

bat

[empty thistle]

Heirlooms for noobs. The best players I’ve ever seen all run default skins, no heirlooms

[wintry cypress]

The news says to keep watching corn

Buy onlyfans

Im willing to bet bro

And if u rly wanna find out theres probably leaked of content on the internet

Ikr whats the point of buying then

@ocean flame you are if you blindly think he's cheating

[elder kayak]

wanna play 😃

[bright slate]

hes hard cheating btw

dont think theres a single ground player that shaky after getting on target

https://youtu.be/c2Oip7GXTyU

[novel loom]

i dont think he's that shaky

[bright slate]

hes very shaky

are you watching with your eyes closed?

[novel loom]

no i mean i noticed that

but it didnt seem absurd

[bright slate]

for someone with the scores he has

its bad

[cosmic summit]

yes clear as day

[novel loom]

also is that the basis of him cheating that hes shaky when getting back on target?

[cosmic summit]

certified cheater

[bright slate]

@daring tinsel knew it dickhead

[novel loom]

his reaction back on target seemed human, when he does get back on target he's not bone locking

wait what

then what point is adding the digi back 😭

[vague nexus]

they nerfed it

[toxic magnet]

thats so dumb 😭

[vague nexus]

its just a sight that makes people red if you can see them

yeah

it was op tho

bang was crazy

[toxic magnet]

i mean thats the whole point of a digital threat a digital threat that doesnt outline things when they are in a smoke isnt a very good digital threat

[vague nexus]

yeah

i think the schoolbus still works normally

the 4x10 sniper scope

you can see trough smoke with that

[toxic magnet]

the equalizer got nerfed

the fun we could have on mnk vs controller bang smoke then swing with the r99 digi threat

ahhh was a good time

watching the controller players whiff 90 percent of their mag in a smoke will never not be fun to me

[ocean flame]

bang smoke is still the best way to equalize rn

[hushed forge]

controller players when they get the most difficult task in all of human history (aiming without AA):

[empty thistle]

The thing is, a lot of being a good roller is learning to let AA aim for you. So it doesn’t prepare you at all for no AA in the smoke lol

I currently Run 70% Brightness but I think I might be getting eye strain does anybody have a recommended brightness for Apex especially with OLED monitors?

[old snow]

Micro stutters anyone?

driver issue?

[quaint karma]

well if you see everything there’s no reason to have it super bright

do you mean the brightness on your monitor or in-game?

in-game just raises the gamma curve i believe

personally i have my monitor pretty dim since it’s srgb content

and my brightness is on default in-game

just have to play in a darker room

[junior wraith]

In Game! 😁

[outer sleet]

I had it at one point but it kind of just stopped randomly

Idk what happened there

[mental ridge]

ranked?

[old snow]

Im wondering if its cos I had a twitch stream running on Mozilla muted, but my pc is decent so shouldn't be it. It's not even that bad. It's really occasional

And it wasn't, for the most part, wrecking my gunfights

[outer sleet]

Idk I mean it can't hurt to check for updatee

[mental ridge]

i cant see shit on 50%

[outer sleet]

I think there used to be an issue where it would stutter above 180fps but I don't have any problems so I guess it got fixed

[mental ridge]

100% is imo the best brightness for visibility

its just really ugly

[mental ridge]

nvidia ? and is your pc optimized? a good pc will still have shit latency if its bloated af

[old snow]

Nvidia, yes. Optimised in what way

I use gsync

[mental ridge]

the latest oficcially released driver has shit performance but there are hotfix drivers available

[old snow]

I dont even think im on the newest one

I could boot up pc and see which one im on

I never download the newest ones cos they're always coming with some issue

Unless I need them

[mental ridge]

so u use nvidia controllpanel panel vsync on
ingame vsync off and nvidia reflex + boost ingame

[mental ridge]

u should be safe then

[old snow]

Pretty much. I think i have enabled in the control panel not in game?

Not 100% on thag

Definitely not boost

[mental ridge]

well thats relevant for good latency

[old snow]

I did download a newer one when I first got the pc

I should just check what im on

Lemme boot up pc

[mental ridge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mWMP96UdGU

here a indebth vid on propper gsync set up

[old snow]

Okay

Ill look

[mental ridge]

what refreshrate does your monitor have?

[old snow]

165hz

Im on 576.88 btw

Regardless these were the same gsync settings I was using on my last pc which was a worse pc and I didn't get any stuttering

I will look at that vid tho

[mental ridge]

ngl that vid is more about latency optimization

[old snow]

Well thats good

Thanks

I had it for smoothness I think

Blur busters

[mental ridge]

yeah

[old snow]

Are you with nvidia

Yeah, I have a frame rate limit of 158fps (there were some new numbers about what to cap certain monitor fps to get within the proper gsync limit) so I think that still gives me low latency

https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/1kz1q9s/microstutters_and_inconsistent_fps_in_apex/

its over

verifying integrity of files

[mental ridge]

Regarding stutters u might wanna min max active processes in the background

disable power saving features in windows(power plan for example) nvidia controllpanel and your bios

but now that i think about it helping a mate with his nv controlloanel fixed his stutters

[old snow]

Maybe it was the twitch stream

I feel like my pc shouldn't struggle

But apex might just have not liked that

I have the same amount of ram as my last system, just more vram on a better gpu and better cpu. Didn't get any stutters on my last pc, so id say it was the stream, although if it wasn't, maybe drivers?

[strong harness]

I give them headaches 😂

[hushed forge]

Yes

Random teammates 💔💔

[mental ridge]

its just gold tho

u can do anything there and win

[hushed forge]

Yeah

I usually farm but even golds I can’t 1v3

Well not all the time

[mental ridge]

yeah u should focus more on yourself than ypur teammates

if youre pushing for masters id understand the frustration but gold is just a randome free for all

[hushed forge]

Im not frustrated its js a little annoying

cuz I dont gain as much so it takes a lil longer

its still like +150rp w these shitters but it could be 250+

[empty thistle]

There’s no rush

You’re gonna get hardstuck where you belong soon enough

Reality is you’re gonna be stuck in diamond for thousands of games or stuck masters. Getting there a little earlier changes nothing lol

Enjoy the smurfing

[hushed forge]

diamond Ill prolly try finding a stack it shouldnt be too difficult

if I hit masters Ill prolly never get out tho

maybe if siege dies next week and I fully to apex and spend every waking hour of my life for the next 3 years I could think about briefly touching pred

[elder kayak]

guys give me some funny username

[weak dome]

Can someone give me like a 20 minut routine for beginners like i love games but i don´t have 1 hour to aim train i accept my gains will not be the same but im fine with that

[outer sleet]

Its honestly not about routines I feel like. Just think about what your weaknesses are / what mistakes you made the last time you played and practice that for 20 mins

Yeah but what’s the point of rank then?

[hushed forge]

its like apex

[bright slate]

fake progression to keep you playing

[severe canyon]

It’s just fully hidden mmr

[glossy talon]

Hidden mmr in ranked needs to get removed

[hushed forge]

I dont like it but its not the worst

[bright slate]

if you gain a ton in that lobby it will even out eventually

[hushed forge]

all games have hidden mmr

siege just resets you to copper every season

literally the only difference

but your gains are adjusted for mmr so youll be +120 -8 every game

[bright slate]

thats good

[hushed forge]

I have dia/champ mmr

[glossy talon]

Games need to go off their hidden mmr instead of visible ranks because it's like they want you to be hard stuck forever

[hushed forge]

physically impossible for me to get stuck below diamond

[bright slate]

i think thats the best fix to coutner smurfing

[hushed forge]

Id have to have like a 30% wr consistently to be stuck below diamond

[glossy talon]

Until you get a Smurf on the other team that is the same mmr as you 🙁

[severe canyon]

I feel like that’s ass

[bright slate]

if they have the same mmr

they arent smurfing

or they are account sharing

[hushed forge]

the siege matchmaking:

[bright slate]

stampy ❤️‍🩹

[glossy talon]

Is it level 20 to unlock ranked in siege ?

[bright slate]

think it was 50 ?

[glossy talon]

Damn

Takes forever

[severe canyon]

It’s tryna tell you something

Just don’t play the fuckass game

[bright slate]

true

hasnt been good since mira was new anyways

[glossy talon]

That's what I did

[bright slate]

👴

[glossy talon]

I come back to it every once in a while

[severe canyon]

Optimal

[glossy talon]

I just want to play ranked not sink 100 hours into casual

[hushed forge]

50

[severe canyon]

I come back play one game and get bored to tears

[hushed forge]

its like 20 hours ish I think

idk

[mental ridge]

i like wingmans

[elder kayak]

anyone wanna play wildcard

[wintry cypress]

wtf fist time seeing a wolf clip

[elder kayak]

you can watch his twitch video

[wintry cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/kanye-haircut-gif-13493655861151569035

[mental ridge]

because im shit at the game and often forget to clip

[mental ridge]

or the collab Montage with a mate

[elder kayak]

which montage

[mental ridge]

@elder kayak

u even reacted on it

[elder kayak]

I forgot lol

[wintry cypress]

😭

wtf is that at the end

[mental ridge]

PEAK CINEMA

i cooked right!

[wintry cypress]

for sure

[hushed forge]

I love how as soon as I leave gold

I get plat lobbies

and youd think there wont be much of a difference

I can just keep farming

but no

every single fucking person Ive died to has master badges now

the guy I just died to is on a completely fresh account and apparently hes the best player in the game

its great

[fast void]

who should i unlock next?

[bright slate]

doesnt mean much

most master badges are participation awards

[wintry cypress]

You need at least some level of skill to get masters tho

[rose wraith]

Depends a lot on how you play

If you play for positions that the sweats want, masters is hard

If you exclusively play low prio spots and settle for 4th every game, yes you can get to masters with nothing but time and good game sense

Playing to win, consistently, has a massive skill check because you have to be able to hold god spot, against high master teams that want your spot

[bright slate]

if you can hold your mouse you could get masters in most seasons

[cosmic summit]

Bring back hiding meta

[wintry cypress]

Not me vro 💔

[cosmic summit]

Plug in a controller @wintry cypress

[wintry cypress]

My aim isnt the issue 😭

I mean ive gotten masters before

But it still took me a little while

Tho it was defo way too easy lol

[empty thistle]

Could be wrong but I feel like godspot is bad sometimes for this very reason. Suddenly 3/5 remaining are trying to grief you for god spot and you just get insta 3rd’d after wiping the first team

[small thistle]

hi

im thinking of trying apex whats champ should i use

i like movement and aim

ash looks fun

[severe canyon]

You playing on eu?

[bright slate]

pathy

octane

maggie

[small thistle]

whats the usual range of cm/360 for apex

imma try this apex benchmark while I wait for it to download

[bright slate]

like 20-40

[tight totem]

this might be semantics but i think it might be closer to 30-60

[bright slate]

60 sounds low

[vernal pollen]

could say bang too

[small thistle]

im gonna use 35

[tight totem]

ur right

50

[bright slate]

even that is low

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 57.7273 cm/360°

[wintry cypress]

I used to use 60cm in apex when i started lmao

[tight totem]

i think i've seen multiple 50s

the most common sens i hear about is 4-3 tho 🥀 donno what's that about...

[exotic flint]

@quaint karma how many hours bro?

[quaint karma]

a lot

[hushed forge]

yeah

[hushed forge]

lowk yeah

I was playing w friends yesterday and both games we took godspot its just insta thirded

one team starts pushing and all of a sudden the other one appears out of nowhere

and were stuck inbetween two teams

then after we obv died I thought about it and came to the conclusion we would have been 100x better off sitting on the edge of the ring and doing nothing until the other 2 teams fought

also broken moon buildings are just dogshit in general ngl

[severe canyon]

Just wondering because I was playing on a Smurf at that time with my irls

[hushed forge]

were you playing octane?

[hushed forge]

ash was fun

her dash was super fun

not anymore tho

but if you want fun then play what nihil said

or horizon

or rev

[severe canyon]

Horizon

[hushed forge]

wasnt you then

Ive seen like one horizon outside my team this season

[severe canyon]

zamn

tap in

[hushed forge]

horizons my next purchase

[quaint karma]

just saw it says 6 7 6 7 😭

[bright slate]

https://tenor.com/view/soldier76-overwatch-67-meme-jack-morrison-gif-10260015071089858250

[wintry cypress]

too many 😭

[rose wraith]

Yes

If you can’t hold god spot

You need Off-God spot

An objectively worse but still great spot

That the sweats won’t want

And will leave you alone

This is the secret to solo queue

On a BM ring that is pulling to atmo, god spot is the upper floor of the POI

But the ring pulls into a nasty choke on ring 3 that kills any late rotates

So really all you need is to rotate early to the bottom buildings and rat

[hushed forge]

worst part is that theyre not even sweats

[rose wraith]

Same with breaker wharf

[hushed forge]

if it was just one team then its freest 3v3s oat

its just one team gets pushed by zone into us

[rose wraith]

This is what controller characters are for

[hushed forge]

and other team wants to third

[rose wraith]

They stall a push long enough that the pushing team gets griefed

[ebon dust]

got god spot with 4 teams left and 2 teams valk ulted straight to us. we all got 3rd partied by team sitting offgod

[hushed forge]

yeah but nobody wants to play controller characters 💔

[rose wraith]

Btw

This is why horizon was must pick for years

Her tactical lets her team play bad positions as if they were good ones

On a 13 second cd

Insanely unfair

If you have dueling chops, you want to look for soft edge or edge styles

Otherwise, you run meek zone for most comps and deep zone for controllers

Shallow zone is VERY strong but requires a lot of map knowledge to know where to play

Both dynamic edge and elite spot are broken

But require trust in your squad

And the ability to fight off pred stacks

[exotic flint]

LMAO

[bright slate]

im a hard edger myself

[severe canyon]

Nothing shameful about edging

That’s on god

[wintry cypress]

[rancid slate]

Would R5 be more beneficial for in game results than training kovaaks scenarios?

Right now I’m splitting time but ngl the people in r5 1v1’s are much much better than the average diamond player I see in ranked

[nova girder]

ya

[half belfry]

is vt jumppad apex novice broken?

on aimlabs'

[rose wraith]

If you’re new, you would benefit a lot from playing close long strafes invincible

In game only has a bad habit of encouraging you to predict strafes

[rancid slate]

I'm not new to apex I'm about 7k hours in - Solo Q to D1. But just trying to find which method would best translate to in game results. I haven't aim trained much lately, did a few intermediate benchmarks, finished plat precise tracking and gold complete the other tracking categories with scores very close to plat in those.

But yeah, in R5 it feels much more predictive than when I'm training a reactive scenario in kovaaks. Almost like it's not translating at all.

[rose wraith]

Wasn’t talking about new to apex

You could have 10k hours and mouse control ideas can still be new to you

[rancid slate]

Oh gotcha. I notice that like very predictable strafes I'm fine with but some of the players in r5 have a crazy strafe that's hard to follow. Which I would think a close reactive scenario would be good for.

[rose wraith]

It’s backwards

You should spend a lot of time playing simpler strafing scenarios with very clean technique

Reactive tracking benefits a lot from correct practice and suffers a lot from only playing hard stuff

[rancid slate]

that very well could be the cause of the issue I've been having then

[rancid slate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R704_9gx2lg this is the scenario i was putting a lot of effort into, it seems like a very similar scenario to something i would encounter in apex or r5. Do you think training a simpler scenario would be better, then coming back to this with better technique would be a more productive path?

[rose wraith]

Probably yeah

[rose wraith]

VT Pilltrack Close Long Strafes Inv

Play this one

It’s a great scenario for warming up pure reactive

Restart any run where you predict a direction change

[rancid slate]

VT Pilltrack Close Long Strafes Inv doesn't return any results when I search online scenarios only VT pilltrack Advanced @rose wraith

[rose wraith]

In aimlabs?

That scenario is definitely there.

Are you using the main search feature? The search bar on the bottom doesn’t work well

[rancid slate]

I use Kovaaks, if it's in aim labs then that would be why

[novel loom]

@rose wraith I really appreciate the insight you give to the server. It’s always super helpful

[rose wraith]

For kovaaks play Close Long Strafes Invincible

You just posted an aimlabs clip so…lol

[rancid slate]

the clip is kovaaks lol

you can see kovaaks in the top left in the first second or two of the video

[bright slate]

just jump into the hard stuff and play lddh fixed

[rancid slate]

it does kind of look like aimlabs with the tiled floor / wall though lmao

[rose wraith]

I’m stupid

My fault lol

[severe canyon]

Close strafes are different on r5 and main though

You accelerate faster on r5

[rancid slate]

I always felt like I aim so much worse on R5 than main game tbh, this could totally be why

[novel loom]

This

[rancid slate]

I just assumed people had a better strafe

which they definitely do

[severe canyon]

They generally do but it’s extrapolated

[novel loom]

R5 players are consciously trying to dodge and be difficult to hit, the same can’t generally be said about in game

[rancid slate]

I swear it was parroted that crouching in strafe is bad but so many people do it in r5 and it works on me all the time

is crouching a good implement

could be just a mnk issue and bad if you're against roller though

[novel loom]

Crouch spamming in r5 is much more difficult to hit than normal game. Which is why they made it to where you can be kicked on karma server for abusing it

[rancid slate]

i didn't know why r5 felt so different but seems like it's quite a bit different then

[novel loom]

I still think it’s good practice

[ocean flame]

Nope

Play the real game

[novel loom]

This guy is a d1 hater ^

[ocean flame]

Yep

Forget mechanics

Helen keller could have a 4kd in diamond if she played with game sense

[novel loom]

U ain’t wrong on that

But some people just enjoy having good mechanics 🤷‍♂️

[rancid slate]

im d2 with a flat 1.1kd but i think thats just a solo q diff

[ocean flame]

Nope

[rancid slate]

also probably 90% of my ranked games happen in d3+ cuz i suck and can't grind out of diamond

[severe canyon]

i dont think crouching has changed since season 3

has it?

[bright slate]

people play r5 so poorly its not great practice imo

[hushed forge]

if I get another fucking 0 damage octane on my team

obsidian entertainment hq is getting firebombed

[empty thistle]

Why wait

[hushed forge]

true

Ill do it rn

[peak oyster]

This ^ -- i've also been starting to come to that realization myself after spending so much time on "mechanics". Just knowing how to play the game better allows you to do so much more than mechanics alone would

[ebon dust]

am i insane or is hitreg really random

[rose wraith]

insane for the most part

[ebon dust]

i had what sounded like a decently high acc spray with ranpage and i had 3 shots reg

[rose wraith]

insane sorry

hit reg rarely matters in apex

probably just missed

[novel loom]

I guess it depends on how you want to play the game.

Yes, sitting zone in god spot with controller legends while all the other teams int each other on edge or outside of zone will net you rp but imo it’s boring and you’re really not practicing much.

[ebon dust]

at least i still got the kill, i just kept hearing the shield hit sound effect while he was running away. couldve also been jitter ig

apex casual is so fun though

[bright slate]

my pub lobbies are sweatier than my low masta ones

[ebon dust]

my pub lobbies are mostly master/dia stacks but since no rp idc

[rancid slate]

@rose wraith when doing close long strafes inv should i be strafing as well or just focus on tracking?

[rose wraith]

you don't need to worry about moving

its just for your aim

strafe scenarios exist

use them for strafeaim

[rancid slate]

sounds good, adding a strafe made it feel like 10x more difficult

[ocean flame]

This is not game sense lmao

[empty thistle]

Soloqing on my Smurf on plat and got a pred and a master on my team in a pred/master lobby

They must’ve been so pissed seeing that pre game lobby lmaoooo

[rancid slate]

Ngl to most preds/master diamond and plat players are equally terrible

[novel loom]

Yes tf it is

Understanding macro is indeed game sense. Tf r u saying @ocean flame

[tight totem]

@ocean flame stopragebaiting them

[novel loom]

Bro is a hater

[tight totem]

he is

[tight totem]

idk if im overstepping my boundaries here with broke but he probably meant that you don't need peculiarly good game sense to do that in ranked

sit in zone i mean

i believe that he was trying to say that a person with greater game sense would kill everyone and win the gamr

[late furnace]

if he crouch aim a little down

[empty thistle]

Nah I think there’s a world of difference between having a legit plat and a d1-d2 in a lobby with like 6 pred teams and and masters / diamonds

I feel like a legit plat1 would be lucky to drop 50dmg in a team fight

[late furnace]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1060860294643073075/1141639099560767551/miclreaction2.gif

[novel loom]

i was using that as a pretty basic example of what game sense could be

[late furnace]

yes in rank u kill

https://youtu.be/1lRPu_VDivQ?si=Nbq-5HzvgtC647Rt

[empty thistle]

Very basic and narrow idea of it tho tbf

So much of fight iq is gamesense and that could have nothing to do with playing deep zone

[tight totem]

i this yours

[late furnace]

no

[final forge]

Quiet the opposite, for ranked sitting in zone(or god spot), is not a very good strategy and also difficult to do properly

[tight totem]

isnt it harder to kill everyone and still win tho

[novel loom]

i think op was talking about macro/positioning in order to secure more kills

[novel loom]

depends but yes in general youre right

[final forge]

Playing zone and running the lobby down are the most extreme way of playing. There are a lot of in between playstyles that fit ranked way better

[tight totem]

there sure is

[bright slate]

running down the lobby is ideal

[elder kayak]

@outer sleet wanna wildcard

[final forge]

definitely not

[bright slate]

sure it is

a lot of people just suck at fighting and micro

only way to get better is to do that as much as possible

[final forge]

fight as much as you can to get better sure but just fighting for the sake of fightning is not the way

[bright slate]

i agree

[late furnace]

🇮🇱

[peak oyster]

i'm not suggesting camp zone as controller players lol, i'm referring to decision making and how you maneuver team fights. It differs from mechanics, which are more like aim smoothing, movement tech, map interactions, etc

[severe canyon]

batts

if you can

[waxen tinsel]

okiee

[bright slate]

batts and nades

[rancid slate]

Anyone know good scenarios for working on strafe while tracking? something like close long strafe invincible but you can freely strafe

[bright slate]

probably an ingame thing to train

[rancid slate]

word

[severe canyon]

Patstrafe adv

[outer sleet]

GG

Also this might be a stupid question but am I supposed to strafe differently against roller players than mnk?

Like isn't mirroring better on mnk so should I just abuse that or am I overthinking it?

[visual bluff]

yes both when you dodge and strafe-aim its different
in general mirror not antimirror roller players

[elder kayak]

idk man i feel like anti mirror is strong when playing as roller

[elder kayak]

only needed 4 kill to drop 20 bomb 😭

[outer sleet]

Alr mirroring makes sense but how do I dodge against rollers? I would assume its similar but do I need to move in one direction more so they actually need to adjust?

[mental ridge]

drop syringes 6 cells the phoenix 72 lite and instead carry +1 stack sniper ammo and the rest batts if u aint got any fill up with cells

[mental ridge]

thats called bias strafing
ngl just strafing into 1 direction with enought and just long enough stide steps gives me the highest survivabillity in 1vs1s against rollers

[mental ridge]

1vs1s

in range or r5reloaded

[visual bluff]

Ur just describing having a global bias, which is something you should almost always do when dodging generally.

The easiest way to learn dodging versus rollers to just do it and just play some R5
And in general keep in mind the aim assist bubble

[outer sleet]

well thats not what I meant but I think I get it now

thanks

[mental ridge]

ngl i find actual dodging hard in apex due to desync

it might look as if tracers go past you and yet u take damage

[outer sleet]

tru

I mean to be fair I only really use dodging in very specific situations normally you just play cover anyway so ye

[mental ridge]

unless i learn how to dodge based of incomming damage and somehow figure out where hes missing based on last direction change and tracers all combined i kinda avoid dodging

[mental ridge]

well dodging is the 4th strafe tech of just strafing away from the enemies point of aim

imo bias strafing is way more reliable once u figured out a reliable base pattern for it

even works against rollers

bt ngl the most effective tech i know for 1vs1s is skip jumping to initialize a fight

[outer sleet]

bro ngl when I look at skip jumping it looks kinda useless

[mental ridge]

the fast acceleration is crazy good to throw them off

[mental ridge]

lets do some 1vs1

[outer sleet]

alr though my hands are hella cold

[mental ridge]

skip jumping doesn't require weapon swapping or holstering
it can be done when strafing diagonally
it can be done within less of a second of strafing
using it to peak a corner is quiet reliable once u get the timing down

[outer sleet]

idk maybe its good

[mental ridge]

its even better if u get good at it and use it after getting bullet slowed

[outer sleet]

alr get on bro educate me

but like did you use it against me before?

cause I swear I can't tell

there was this other dude who supposedly used it against me but I didn't notice at all

[mental ridge]

funny thing is i cant reliably skip jumo to show it but use it like 70-95% reliably in 1vs1 once im warmed up

[outer sleet]

I see

whatever give me like 3 minutes I'll wash my hands with hot water then we can 1v1

[vestal horizon]

Hi, i am grinding some reactivity lately. Coach Ben’s playlist + viscose benchmark reactivity part. I was grinding ground plaza voltaic, but was wondering which bots should I focus on? Or the bots that will help the most

[final forge]

Drop 1-2 stacks of light Phoenix all syringes 6 cells and fill up with frags instead

[outer sleet]

I'd go for -1 stack light, -1 stack cells, -1 stack syringes and prolly drop the phoenix too unless you play like mirage or have no bats or smth. I'd prolly go for extra bats and nades instead. Also I like to run 3 ammo stacks for the wing and 2 for light/heavy smgs but you do you

But its pretty situational honestly

[waxen tinsel]

okayy thanks

[rancid slate]

Does anyone have experience with the PureG Apex Routine playlist? Wondering what the consensus on it is and if it’s better than general VT VDIM playlists and benchmarks?

[bright slate]

has some good scens in it

i dont think lddh fixed is very applicable to apex though

and is way too hard for most

[rancid slate]

Thanks

In general how do you know if it’s aim and mechanics holding you back in ranked or game sens/knowledge?

[bright slate]

vod review yourself if you can

if you find yourself in a bad position its probably a game sense issue

[rancid slate]

Sounds good, I’ll have to start recording games then. I usually solo queue so I know that doesn’t help but I’m sure there is always something I can do better

[tight totem]

for sure

u can play for your life more

as long as you space your enemies correctly, it doesn't matter if u have teammates or not

[hushed forge]

guys how to fix random teammates

Ive had enough of the absolute morons I keep getting

[bright slate]

you dont

even if you try to micromanage they wont listen

[hushed forge]

it genuinely feels like Im lacking a teammate every time I queue

its only me and my duo

on the rare occasion we get a functional teammate we win p easily but every other time is so unbearable

[bright slate]

you need a third

i swear the game gives you worse players when you duo

compared to solo

[hushed forge]

yes bro

thats what Im saying

I soloq and my teammates are still bad but not like god awful

its manageable

but then I duoq and the third always has some sort of mental disability

I got this one guy two times in a row which just locks in rev and solo jumps onto squads thinking hes him

had some other gimp ragequit after being toxic cuz he was 3 lightyears away from us, took a 1v3 and died

its so aids

[ebon dust]

is rev even good rn

my friend is a rev otp and dropped him this season

[hushed forge]

kinda mid ngl

his pounce is like alright

his ult isnt good

its literally just a bandaid fix for his bigass hitbox

his passives are the best part of his kit ngl

the pounce is best for hunting down the last guy after you kill 2 or running away from a third party

outside of that it isnt even that good

[vestal horizon]

Did you tried the lfg group, and battlecord. I loose rp when I solo q. But in the lfg I gain. I was off 300rp to masters 3 days ago now d3 almost d2 😂😂

[hushed forge]

my duo refuses to lfg for some reason

before he started playing again and I was solo I lfg'd twice and it was alright

[ebon dust]

my irls do not fw the ranked system

[hushed forge]

my irls do fw the ranked system

[ebon dust]

W

[hushed forge]

I wish my irl was better at the game tho 😔

[ebon dust]

i think we’d be dia

if we played good macro

but we kinda js drop the same 3 places

[hushed forge]

lowkey real

if I understood macro better master would be so free

[rancid slate]

I find most lfg players in battlecord to be pretty bad ngl

[ebon dust]

none of us have great mechs other than aim and good comms

[rancid slate]

At least in diamond

[bright slate]

i dont find it that hard

or didnt

[hushed forge]

I mean I also only have 225 hours on the game

[vestal horizon]

It to different games actually at least in my experience. When I solo q I want to delete the game. When I am on the lfg I enjoy it. And when you hit d you need comms, and people who can carry them selvs

[hushed forge]

and I didnt play battle royales before this

[bright slate]

my only br experience prior to apex was 1.5 seasons of fortnite

when i was 12

[hushed forge]

lfg is still hit or miss you just get guaranteed comms

[hushed forge]

well yeah ofc

everyone played fortnite at least a bit back in the day

but that was like 7 years ago

[bright slate]

yeah exactly

[hushed forge]

my main issue is I dont know where to look for early game fights ngl

like good fights that dont get instantly thirded the second two shots go off

[bright slate]

depends on where yopu land

[rancid slate]

You should almost always just fight the POI next to you and be aware of possible third parties. If the fight is taking too long you need to disengage and either prep for the third party or rotate to zone and look for a third party along the way

[bright slate]

i wouldnt third towards the center of the map imo

off rip

[vestal horizon]

On Olympus you will get third fourth partied some parts of the map, like the fight night, other parts not that much even though the map is still dog shit. But if you put the time in you will get to now how to play those maps

[novel loom]

My pc’s ssd keeps spiking to 100% usage causing my games to stutter or freeze for a second

Anyone had a similar issue like this?

[ebon dust]

we tried baiting fight night once by just jumpin in and out of the ring but no one pushed us

[bright slate]

dont blame them

that poi is so loud

for 0 reasons

[waxen elbow]

High guard, am I right guys??

Yeahh!!!!

for me that part of the map is crazy, teams are conjested in a small area, so i always get my evac and push toward bonsai. i hate that side of the map, but it happens that they push rift instead of fight night sometimes

[outer sleet]

Bro recently I had a game where we landed clinic and wanted to fight gardens. And like unironically 5 other teams pulled up within 2 minutes bro like I don't understand

There aren't even that many dropspots around like wtf

[outer sleet]

Why do I see people running r301 in ranked? Did it get buffed or is it memes?

Was there even an update?

[devout tusk]

i been running 301 my whole life

[outer sleet]

Fair enough

[mental ridge]

yesterday we found a insane lv40 player there

[vestal horizon]

The map is so little that it should be on the rotation for ranked, plus the open spaces too

[vestal horizon]

marshmallows comes out of the R301, but it’s easy and consistent. Very reliable gun.

yes

I have 4 ssd's

and for some reason

i think like the 3rd one was always at 100% usage

and i had horrible performance issues bc of it despite it being empty nothing was downloaded or stored to it

only thing that helped was disabling the ssd

[final forge]

Go towards the edge of the map for fast fights. If you are on the edge you need a bit of Knowledge of what the pois next to you usually do. Also if you have a fight that ends in a stalemate just leave. For risky fights I would say rule of thumb <30sec is fine if you havent finished or massively progressed by then leave.

Its not that hard you just have to be strict with yourself

[floral lodge]

im sure that rn its just as good as it always was bar the hipfire nerf

someone told me that anyway

i use it sometimes but there are just way better guns lol

[empty thistle]

I like to try and predict how each team will rotate off drop, then compare once you finally uav scan

You’ll get better at intuiting it over time

[novel loom]

hmm maybe if i get an external ssd and just run everything off that it should be fine?

[floral lodge]

idk man i tried all the other solutions i think the ssd itself was faulty somehow i disabled it as i had another 3tb of storage anyway

ty gng

[waxen tinsel]

guys is this okay?

[outer sleet]

Honestly I would never run double syringe unless I have no medkits. But ye for the most part its just preference anyway

[empty thistle]

why u need 2 stacks of shotgun ammo

phoenix is also kinda questionable when u have overheal

[outer sleet]

Nahh 2 stacks of shotty ammo is meta trust

[waxen tinsel]

urm i got no idea

i stuck to one stack of shotty ammo and i brought an extra nade

nade won us the game 🥹🥹

[ocean flame]

Anyone with good recoil control is cheating

No ragebait im serious.

[severe canyon]

If they have an lstar they’re cheating

https://streamable.com/b7aiij (skip to 0:42) do you think its poor speed matching skill or something else?

[severe canyon]

just install aimbot i think

[bright slate]

mostly speedmatching

probably some prediction that she would turn around

[quaint karma]

you could just mirror this guy

hes not looking

[hushed forge]

I think this is a tension issue tbh

my aim looks exactly like this when I tense up a lot

usually like the first game on I whiff really easy kills like this because my wrist tenses up

the first few shots I think is speed matching but after the first bullet hits him it looks like your wrist/arm tensed up and started shaking and you struggled moving it smoothly

he just happened to stop moving so you got damage on him anyway without having to aim
