apex

[rancid slate]

please tell me it's not just a me problem that i can't see anything and this guy sees me perfectly, also does anyone have settings that help with this issue
https://streamable.com/vuch6v

[bright slate]

just smoke him

[hushed forge]

settings arent gonna do anything

this is most likely just because of how cameras are positioned on the player model

and also his positioning

he has high ground on a head glitch on you and your camera is likely below the top of your player models head

so he just sees your scalp but you obv cant see out your forehead

[rancid slate]

I would have but there were like 2 other teams between this guy and I, didn’t want to leave LOS for other teams since I was low

[bright slate]

i mean you were sitting there staring at him for 5 seconds

[rancid slate]

Yeah, play wasn’t the best

[hushed forge]

holy fuck I rewatched it

I see what you mean

yo I thought he just had some crazy ass headglitch

you can see him from the torso up he just blends in 😭

[rancid slate]

No you can see him be he’s so washed out and white it’s almost impossible

[bright slate]

no its just lighting

[hushed forge]

insane

maybe turn your brightness down or contrast up

[rancid slate]

I unironically finished plat tracking in the Voltaic benchmarks and my aim somehow feels worse in game

[bright slate]

probably forgoing movement/strafe

[rancid slate]

Yeah, I also feel like my sens in game feels different. Recently changed from 800dpi to 1600 and maybe it’s just in my head but the aim feels faster even though I converted the sens

[bright slate]

bum

[soft vale]

How do improve at mixtape?

I often just end up getting shot in the back by a team that just spawned behind me after I move towards the center of a map for fights, or by a guy who's sitting on the edge of the map with a sniper. How can I avoid this

[shell wind]

i think it's just the angle

cause ur viewport is inside of ur skull when u ads so if u draw a line he has height so he can see ur entire body above the crate since the crate is below him but for you the crate blocks your los to his body and only allows you to see his head

https://streamable.com/euwbie can i get opinions on this render and the clips? do you guys think the blur is too strong

[rancid slate]

No, you can see him. He's just extremely washed out due to the lighting. I was just wondering if there were settings to help alleviate that issue

[shell wind]

ohh

[rancid slate]

you can see his torso and his head

[shell wind]

oh lmao i couldn't even see it

wow

[shell wind]

u could try increasing ur contrast

might give u more ghosting in dark environments if ur monitor suffers from that though

can also try increasing ur sharpness or using a higher ppi res if ur on stretched

[soft vale]

How can I position myself better to deal with 3rd parties?

[rose wraith]

Positioning isn’t the important value

It’s timing

The faster you finish fights AND reset your resources (pick up knocked teammates, heal white and blue health, reload weapons) the harder you are to third

If you want to be impossible to third, always win fights with minimal white health damage

So a shield swap is all you need and you’re good to go

[soft vale]

Alright, thanks a bunch.

learning to be more aggressive to wrap up fights quick is quite tough, especially with passive randoms

seems especially hard to do in mixtapes bc of the bad spawns

[rose wraith]

lol mix tape

It’s just a casual mode

There’s no consistency there

[soft vale]

still, i still should be good enough to not constantly get shot in the back

the maps are definitely ass, but I should do better

[empty thistle]

You can’t really do it consistently if you’re soloq and not smurfing tbh

You better be one cracked mf to be able to quickly carry fights against master / pred stacks

[soft vale]

what about solo q ranked

what can I do to help carry randoms? My goal is to solo q to master

[empty thistle]

Watch hiswattsons soloq in pred games I guess

A lot of it will be running away lollll

[soft vale]

fair enough. i should play more selfish

[empty thistle]

Ye basically

Just match the speed of your team

Carry the fights you can

Run away from the ones you can’t

Rat and res a lot lmao

Soloqing to masters ain’t it

[rose wraith]

It’s super possible it’s just miserable

multi season solo masters player

[soft vale]

i gotta do it at least once

in my eyes, I gotta be able to do it at least once if I ever wanna hit pred

[rose wraith]

Not really

[soft vale]

It'll teach me how to better my positioning a lot

and how to pace my fights

[rose wraith]

Hitting low masters as a solo is just running away and being opportunistic

[soft vale]

and taeke space

[rose wraith]

Does nothing to teach you how to swing as a group or hold god spot against other pros

How to rotate when there’s 15 teams alive on ring 5

[soft vale]

assuming you dont go down. i dont always place myself in the best spots to stay alive

[rose wraith]

Solos don’t get th best spot

The stack gets it

You get the dumpy leftovers

[soft vale]

fair, but i feel stacking makes up for my shortcomings when i shouldnt ahve them ih the first place

[lapis moat]

you will get the same opportunities to improve when you have to take a 3v3 against 3 real humans in ranked

[soft vale]

fair enough. maybe i just wanna prove to myself that I'm good enough. definitely am not good enough to 1v3 competent players, but i wanna be able to 1 day

shit, the top players can sometimes 1v3 pred stacks given the right circumstances

I want to get that good

[lapis moat]

it's doable since most preds aren't actually that good

[soft vale]

most i face are pretty solid. they know how to stay alive, hold crossfire angles, hit their shots, and take space

at least the ones who arent cheating

like the console cronus crutches

[elder kayak]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yqnMGRcohaE

[tight totem]

nofill trios will help you more with that than soloq ranked

[novel loom]

i mean thats the basics of apex lol

[novel loom]

i think what makes pred teams strong is the coordination. The best teams ive fought in comp or on ladder have always been the ones with the most coordination i.e, coordinating swings/double swings, covering damaged teammates, isolating out of position players, trading damage well ( your teammate takes a chall, they go to cover to heal, you swing in to finish the guy he was fighting and now youre up 3v2) this is why solo q is so annoying in this game because 9 times out of 10 your teammates just arent going to be on the same page as you.

[novel loom]

random PB on CFSI

[ocean flame]

nearly world record

[rancid slate]

Anyone know why my apex and kovaaks sens feel completely different? the full length of my mousepad is a 180 degree turn in kovaaks but a 540 degree turn in apex, i made sure both are the same in terms of sens and fov

seems like to get the same turn radius in kovaaks i need to set my sens like my mouse is 800 dpi, i had recently changed to 1600 dpi.

[rancid slate]

seems like logitech software was setting profiles, been doing my tracking scens on 68cm/360 when i play 34cm/360 in game. no wonder my aim has felt like shit

[novel loom]

Yeah I was gonna say I’ve never heard of a problem like that

[outer sleet]

bro when did tridentt audio get to be so broken its actually unbearable

we just got pulled up on by a 3 man twice in the same game with no audio and died for free

[soft vale]

That final statement is so real. I need to get better at trading damage, too

I often end up taking too much

[cosmic summit]

[soft vale]

the disparity between 1st and 2nd is insane

does aimlabs have any scenarios like that?

[placid sphinx]

I was trying out apex with a few friends last night, and im pretty much brand new to the game . I was feeling like aiming directly at the target resulted in a lot of misses. Im platinum in the VT benchs so my aim isnt amazing, but i feel like none of my progress has carried over to apex. Anyone have any advice on which weapons i should practice with/use, and how i can better appky my skill in kovaks? thanks

[bright slate]

r301 is very easy to use and versatile

[rancid slate]

volt is also good

[rose wraith]

Weapons have recoil patterns

Hip firing, moving, and jumping cause extra inaccuracy on top of the base pattern

Moving your mouse around dampens the vertical part of this pattern but not the horizontal

Turn on bullet holes in the firing range and learn the DMRs, the automatic rifles, and the burst rifles patterns

[soft vale]

learning recoil patterns is essential for using most of the guns in the game

[rancid slate]

I don’t feel like I’ve had to memorize much recoil. Recoil smoothing happens so often you barely need to do anything besides pull down. Obviously some cases it’s good to know recoil though, far away recoil smoothing doesn’t work well.

Most fights happen within a range where recoil smoothing is happening though

[rose wraith]

Sorry no I disagree it’s super important for mnk

Point blank closing fights there’s a minimal focus, but literally everything outside of like 10m? It affects what you do

[final forge]

You will learn it by just playing it's really not that hard and very easy to do intuitively

I couln't tell you a single pattern or what direction a gun pulls

[rancid slate]

Yeah I could be undervaluing it. I have like 7k hours in the game so it probably happens more intuitively than I think

[rose wraith]

If you want to deal damage consistently and keep up with rollers it’s a must know imo

If you are fine dealing 30% less damage in situations then sure

[rancid slate]

I just abuse the g7

[bright slate]

noob gun

[severe canyon]

Fraud

[rose wraith]

Funny you say that because it also has a recoil pattern

[bright slate]

flatline4lyfe

[rose wraith]

And the 30-30

[severe canyon]

Just juggle your mouse between every shot and you can control it

No pulling down needed

[bright slate]

or take so long the recoil resets

[rose wraith]

Important to be able to control it at max fire rate for ambush power

Dealing damage quickly is vital

[bright slate]

i know

[rancid slate]

Just pull down and click you’ll be fine

[bright slate]

but i think if you are going to 3 2 1 someone

you should insta pop them regardless

[severe canyon]

Don’t think I’ve used a 30 in like 3 seasons

[bright slate]

been saying its broken since its release

[severe canyon]

Oh you were tapped in

Think you so smart

[bright slate]

i was bro

[severe canyon]

If nemesis isn’t the only range you use then you need to be depersoned and dropped into the ocean like osama bin laden

Hot take

[bright slate]

nope

flatline/havoc only

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1137432628618870946/1208729412619739156/ezgif-4-8928a4a1f7.gif

[severe canyon]

I can’t control recoil

I only have thousands of hours

[rancid slate]

Flatline enjoyers rise up

Best AR

[novel loom]

I don’t rlly play aim labs. But im sure they do, CFSI is the quintessential scenario for practicing close range reactive tracking

Although it’s a tough scenario, if you’re new to reactive tracking I would practice easier scenarios first to get the fundamentals down

[soft vale]

okie, thanks :3

[keen scarab]

marksman are still by far the best secondary

but i’ve been having more fun picking up ARs recently

[rancid slate]

any tips for what i should have done better in this situation. but also screw my teammate leaving me when its 2v2

https://streamable.com/unbytj

[outer sleet]

I mean you guys are 2 man peeking a valk in the open and he doesn't die though to be fair your teammate didn't hit him once. Also you have ult you should use it. Its kind of a given that at least one of them would land on your height from the valk ult + you kinda deny horizon from taking it so easily.
Also going for the fin right there is kinda troll. Either do it immedietly or leave him cause he was prolly spam pinging your location after he got knocked so its like they have wallhacks on you

[rancid slate]

My idea was not to fin him but take pressure off my other team mate, i assumed while i was finning they would drop to chase. That way i either get the kp with a fin or my teammate gets some pressure off. but he kinda just dipped on me

[outer sleet]

Well you were 105hp so if he drops on you he has a massive advantage

• he is horizon so rhere will be no audio cause she is broken for some reason idk

I swear there is never any audio on hori

The guy prolly poped a bat while in q so he's def max hp

[rancid slate]

yeah i honestly should have ulted, hit my shots on valk and dipped on the knock or if teammate stayed taken the 2v2

[outer sleet]

True your teammate kinda trolled ngl

[rancid slate]

he had 50 dmg

but its fine, solo q what do you expect

[outer sleet]

Ye solo que is hell

[rose wraith]

Only right choice here was instantly thirst valk

Hesitating gave horizon a free reset

Didn’t pop battery or thirst for swap

Helping teammate in solo q < helping yourself snowball with resets

If you thirst, you get full hp + if your duo dies you get a knock to play

You were missing information on last guy so leaving the knock to chase wasn’t a good use of time

[rancid slate]

Might be time to add some dynamic clicking routines to my kovaaks. My g7 has been so bad lately

[rose wraith]

G7 is mostly weapons handling im ngl

[rancid slate]

Thanks coach good info 🫡

What do you mean weapon handling

Like just time with the gun?

[rancid slate]

On this I actually wasn’t leaving the knock to chase, i felt the knock was too risky to try and finish and didn’t have info on the third guy. So I decided to leave, as soon as I left I believe the third was below and shot me (could have been the horizon as well) but at that point I was just trying to make something happen. Didn’t realize my teammate had already started leaving

Was I guess hoping that my teammate was in a position to help in the 2v2

[rose wraith]

Sure, but this is a clip you posted for feedback

[rancid slate]

But I should never hope

[rose wraith]

Being indecisive and not gaining a resource in solo queue

A recipe for disaster

Take care of yourself

If you were that uncertain about location stay in building after knock and batt

Otherwise fast thirst reset

I would not be leaving a knock like that AND not batting, unless I was dead certain I was going to fry a second kid for free to win the fight fast

Without that knowledge, it’s me and my health first

Sorry teammate

[rancid slate]

Do you mean I should have batted after I left the knock or before?

[rose wraith]

Knock > instant batt

You’re bang in smoke

At some point you trust your kit

[rancid slate]

Yeah I see that now

[rose wraith]

Or Knock > instant thirst

Instead, horizon has enough time to knock teammate AND BATT on her grav

And then still shoot first on you

Just pissing away like 5-6 seconds of tactical time

Just look at horizon

[rancid slate]

What did you mean about g7 being a weapons handling btw

[rose wraith]

She knocks your bud and what does she immediately do? Grav and batt on instinct

[rancid slate]

Good stuff coach ben, thanks for the advice

[rose wraith]

G7 is ez use irons to acquire target, then just follow recoil pattern

[small tangle]

I have quick question (sorry if my English is bad) so I prefer to play on higher sens cuz I can move properly but my aim is getting worse because I am new to mnk on low sens I can aim a bit better but I cannot move in game what should I do

[outer sleet]

You should practice

[small tangle]

I have around 10k hours on console and I switched to pc so I am new to MNK

[rancid slate]

Sens is all preference. Try the middle and practice

But also real talk, you’re crazy switching to mnk for apex

[small tangle]

Lowest that feels good to move and aim for me is 1600 .8 anything below that I feel like I am playing on controller

[outer sleet]

Nahh mnk is like 10x more fun

[small tangle]

Feels a lot better

I can move my body trough time and space on roller I can run in straight line

[rancid slate]

It’s more fun that is true

[outer sleet]

I would honestly just grind vdim

[small tangle]

What is vdim

[outer sleet]

Don't be like me I wasted like 200 hours on playing random shit before my practice started to make sense

[outer sleet]

Voltaic daily improvement method

[small tangle]

Oh I see

[outer sleet]

It should be in resources I think

[small tangle]

Yeah I saw them

[outer sleet]

• viscose benches

Shit's goated imo

[small tangle]

I chose the easiest one cuz I am really bad at aiming my smoothness is around 0

[outer sleet]

Nice

[rancid slate]

Honestly .8 1600dpi is a pretty high sens compared to most apex mnk players I’ve met.

[outer sleet]

Thats another mistake I made I just grinded like advanced scenarios cause I thought I'd imrpove faster

But no

[rancid slate]

I’ve played 1 at 1600dpi and it’s fine. I think you just need to work on your aim with a higher sens. Like wildcard said, vdim and viscose bench’s are good starting points

[outer sleet]

I wouldn't go much higher than this though

32cm is plenty fast

[rancid slate]

I play .76 1600, recently went down to .6 it’s been really nice

[outer sleet]

Whatever feels good to you honestly

[rancid slate]

Mostly cuz I was playing a 68cm/360 in kovaaks for like a week and didnt realize. 34cm/360 in apex felt like I was aiming on ice lmao

[small tangle]

I played .55 1600 and my aim was pretty good

But I can’t even tap strafe properly

Is Viscose benchmark playlist easy

[outer sleet]

There are 3 difficulties

Like in the vt benches

Its not really a playlist though

[small tangle]

Ok

I will try them when I get home

Thank you for the help

[pale ivy]

diamond complete!!!! lets go!!!

[final forge]

I have to disagree, either taking the grav and facing horizon or batting would probably be better

[rose wraith]

Thirsting or batting yes

We don’t see the grav until a few seconds after the Knock; taking it might be good if you already see it out right away

[final forge]

Horizon is ~100hp and placed the grav shortly after the knock, taking it is definitely the right play

[rose wraith]

No I mean after he knocks the valk

I don’t think it makes sense to leave the knock and just go hunt for the last player without batting or thirsting a swap

The little building leg there + smoke is good cover to reset

[hushed forge]

That’s a high sens?

Lowrst I’d play is 0.7 and I’m usually a low sens player

[empty thistle]

37cm isn’t low lol

[hushed forge]

Usually low sens

In literally every other game

Apex sens js feels slower ig

Also high sens compared to most apex mnk players sounds like he’s saying it’s comparatively high but 37cm doesn’t sound very high for a tracking based game idk

[empty thistle]

.8 is more like 32cm but ye

Personally I think of 30-40cm as very much in the medium range rather than being high or low

[vague nexus]

TASKMAST33R IS BACK

[hushed forge]

Shit does not feel like 32cm 😭

I should try lower sens lowk

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 32.4716 cm/360°

[rancid slate]

i think 43cm is the most common sens at the pro level

[rancid slate]

Hello I have question again

About wrist aiming

I have this problem when I am aiming to the right my whole wrist is starting to shake

I am not gripping the mouse too hard or too relaxed I found good pressure in between

I can send clips from Kovaak’s when I get home

[mental ridge]

https://www.twitch.tv/chaoticmuch/clip/ObeseAdorablePotatoSmoocherZ-ggt7rT7noOBGdC0Y

[mental ridge]

some people just dont have super calm muscles

[bright slate]

sounds like a weak wrist/ lack of mobility

[mental ridge]

im not certain but doesn't stretching and training reduce muscle jitter?

Training aka aimtraining

[bright slate]

it can

but that wont help the root cause

[small tangle]

Actually I have mobility I am training that cuz I had problems with my ankles

[outer sleet]

Imagine playing maggie bro

[mental ridge]

[outer sleet]

But at what cost bro

[rancid slate]

i've been fully converted to a bang main, best fighting character for an mnk player imo

[outer sleet]

Bang is fine

Time to change your name to “VT MASTER AIM KING” for maximum effect

i mean kovaaks doesnt work

its propaganda

[hushed forge]

If all you play is CS fair enough

[empty thistle]

Do you have any strafe aim exp Richard

Or is it all tacfps aiming

[regal meteor]

its not the aim

well aim feels a bit wonky too cuz recoil and the fact that i dont have great tracking

its mostly like i take so long to react to people

the movement

i feel so lost and blind playing this game

[empty thistle]

I guess you’re not soloqing so you’re not playing in bot lobbies ?

[regal meteor]

nah i play with friends

[empty thistle]

Apex sbmm really abusive tbf

I tried playing with my gf on a new acc and we got ex diamonds / masters constantly

[regal meteor]

@sand bolt @tribal forum these mfs

[empty thistle]

She can’t even press q on lifeline

[regal meteor]

i ran past my teammate on lifeline and did a finishing move on a downed enemy cuz i thought the enemy was the teammate i was supposed to revive

[empty thistle]

Who needs teammates

[sand bolt]

richard has no reactions

im watching his screenshare making callouts for him bc he doesnt react to a rev jumping over him

[tribal forum]

?

[outer sleet]

I'd sooner believe you wiped the whole lobby yourself

[elder kayak]

Damn now i don't have to feel sad for not having good aim

[haughty blaze]

@spark pecan this guy will make you feel better

he loses building fights with caustic

uses glasspad but barely has mouse control on a cloth pad

[elder kayak]

Hell no 😭

[haughty blaze]

glass is sick if you already have exceptional mousecontrol, but if you can barely hit mid scores on a cloth pad should probabaly use your 3rd and 4th eyes to see that its a bad decision

[vague nexus]

glass tanked my scores so much it took months to adjust

but i got better ones after like 3 months

im back on cloth tho

i hate the sleeves

actually impossible to find one i like

i had to sow my own ones

went to an actual sowing megastore with like a million different materials and just made my own

worked well for a bit, but the stiches broke kinda fast

800eur worth of glass pads just sitting next to me

artisan is still king

[haughty blaze]

with glass your raw smoothness, and very simplified pure horizontal and vertical exercises come into play, if you dont structure that into your routine its gonna be a hard time unless you have a large repetoire of pre-existing skills, and experience. Lyr1c is a great example of this, he tried glass for 2 weeks, had some beyond gorgeous clips, but click timing, and spray control matter to him a lot and its easier to reset your neutral position, and anchor low crosshair placement on control pads

after building a strong base with that going to control tracking to accesorize the skills there

I use a saturn pro, would love to try the vaxee pd+ 140 control pad

i think a combination people should explore is speed pads+control skates+low to mid sens (for raw smoothness, and control tracking) if they don't need fast reactive, and rapidly large sweeping movements, or you can run speed oriented balanced skates on a control pad, and run a mild mid to high sens

as an example of gear combos

or you can be a dummy with low scores and sit on an alters roof in end game like @spark pecan

dude got a bachelors in science so he can calculate the distance between himself and pussy (its infinite)

then remarks himself as a "physicist"

[rancid slate]

This is diabolical

[mental ridge]

i cant hit shit on cloth its tooo muddy

[rancid slate]

Artisan raiden mid, smoothest cloth pad I’ve had

[mental ridge]

i have one and i precive it as muddy

i use phantom or zane tho 2 insanely fast glass pads with floaty micro adjustments

[rancid slate]

Then probably anything cloth feels muddy comparatively

[mental ridge]

yep i have a small cloth collection
zero otsu key 83 hien and raiden

i used them in the past but nowadays i prefer glass

also a shidenkai mo001 and crucible

[vague nexus]

i just ordered a key 83

and some skates

ptfe

my current ones are wearing a bit

[rancid slate]

Does anyone have a link to the obsidian skates matty uses?

It just says obsidian are they the air, control, or pro versions?

[hushed forge]

Glass is fun

And fun is what matters

Also it depends ngl

Cuz my tracking improves on glass but everything else gets worse

[dull falcon]

Whats the ranked map later today?

[toxic magnet]

Its really fast at first but slows down fast

[toxic magnet]

E-District I believe

[shrewd pollen]

i use the soft one, its very balanced i could say

[regal meteor]

R5 reloaded added launcher??? More then 1 year last check

wow its actually mega fuin

[bright slate]

[dull falcon]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8yBp5jN/

Idk if its me but ts seems so fraudulent

[devout tusk]

having some guy randomly dial you in in firing range is but ive used 1.25 y scaling in raw accel for years. theres no reason to keep it 1:1

[dull falcon]

The first part

Not the sens themselves

[quaint karma]

ts is fucking stupid lmao

[proud hollow]

any reason why aiming away from my body of whole arm gets skippy aim or jittery aim?

[proud hollow]

he got exposed on tiktok, apparently he's a fraud

[proud hollow]

like what i mean is that if i'm aiming to the right of a moving target, my aim is bonkers

[regal meteor]

horrible movement horrible awareness but 1k hrs on kovaaks

[bright slate]

i would tap ads at least once

ars dont have great hipfire

[empty thistle]

1k hrs in kvks just to play like a day1 roller 🥀

[regal meteor]

THIS GAME IS TOO hard man

[empty thistle]

watchiNg u, ur so obv a tacfps player haha

reminds me when I tried apex after 5k hours in cs except my tracking was plat/dia since I just got kovaaks 🥀

[rancid slate]

flow state plat game, teammates asked if i was cheating. felt nice

Anyone have any idea why my aim is so twitchy on the first spray here? Watching it back I saw how kind of jerky it was when adjusting. I don't have this issue when i'm doing kovaaks as far as im aware

[bright slate]

too much tension

also probably trying to predict her movement rather than react and read

[rancid slate]

I know for sure I have a lot of tension in my wrist usually in high stress sudden encounters. Is there a way to practice relaxing during those situations or do you have to consciously make an effort to relax until it’s a subconscious thing?

[bright slate]

the latter

[rancid slate]

Thank you for the insight

[vague nexus]

tiktok coaches are so fucking dumb

[tight totem]

come on now 🗣️

i like it

[haughty blaze]

still in plat ay? must be tough not being able to hit predd @spark pecan

[haughty blaze]

over-tensioning is a symptom of the root cause, strength/stability/and frequent stretching+nerve glides of the hands wrist fingers forearm is gonna cause that.

we're all pretty relaxed naturally, trigger finger is a developed product

[crystal valve]

Warzone is better than apex

[devout tusk]

never seen someone try to take cover on those tupperware bins in my life

[novel loom]

a little thin gauntlet pb i had today

[rose wraith]

Naw you just need to spend some time on movement basics

I bet half an hour with me in the firing range on the basics of bounding and shoot moves and you would be cooking

[tight totem]

selly did it

goat goat goat goat

[tight totem]

half an hour in the game against anyone would cook

guy looks like he has maybe 2 hours

so any more would probably rocket his skills up the roof

[severe canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/lapiscel-bart-lobotomy-bart-simpson-simpsons-lobotomy-core-gif-13362388248843029081

[regal meteor]

thing is i learned the movement basics i just have no awareness and negative in game iq when playing apex

I can tap strafe behind cover and do the aggressive crouch slide follow ups I just panic in game so much

[tight totem]

yea

you got that chief

never stoop to ratting unless money on the line

[regal meteor]

Need to break my insane 4 kill record today

[rancid slate]

honestly playing some mixtape or wildcard might be good, less stress if the br mode is making you panic and you're fighting a lot more

[devout tusk]

brain gap fr...

[rose wraith]

Needs to be wildcard and not mixtape

Pulling a shield swap out of a box is too essential a part of the combat loop

[devout tusk]

mixtape is fine

[tight totem]

not the hardest thing to learn

[regal meteor]

Do you think r5 1v1s are helpful

[rancid slate]

They don't hurt, but imo r5 feels very different than main game

[regal meteor]

Ok

[rancid slate]

I still r5 every now and then, but usually i just warm up in mixtape or wildcard

[tight totem]

r5 is for mechanics

your difficulties lies elsewhere

no?

[regal meteor]

Yeah true

I’m just trying to work on my movement and positioning

[rancid slate]

then you should probably just play br or wildcard

even wildcard might be bad, people usually don't play to win. Also since you're new ranked might be good

you can play with lower ranked players who usually are more focused on winning the game than getting kills

[tight totem]

imo u can go for kills but just don't die whilie doing it

[novel loom]

@regal meteor how many hours do you have in apex?

[regal meteor]

don’t have it unlocked

[regal meteor]

Idk like 10 15

[devout tusk]

i dont think ranked is good for learning the fight flow of the game its way too slow

he needs to literally just be shooting as much as possible

and not care about winning thr game overall

[tight totem]

but is pubs good practice if the "fight flow" is just you shooting at bots

you're not gonna get punished properly

[rancid slate]

he said he wants to focus on positioning, ranked is probably the best playlist for that specifically. Pubs tend to just be an int fest with most squads being dead in ring 2 or 3 if you're lucky

[tight totem]

some might say that ranked is the same but it's less

5head precounter

[rancid slate]

at higher ranks for sure it's the same

but he's going to be like rookie or w/e

[tight totem]

i mean even higher ranks it's better practice than to fight against pub players

[rancid slate]

raanked quality at lower ranks is significantly better

[tight totem]

game sense wise

[rancid slate]

diamond + the match quality falls off so bad due to the disparity in skill between diamond and master/pred

[devout tusk]

maybe idk depends on what he needs. like just learning ttks rly well and getting a feel for animations and how long it takes to run a to b i dont think opponent matters that much

[novel loom]

bruh just play the game lol. youre brand brand new

games been out for over 5 years ppl legit have 10k hours and more

[rancid slate]

yeah i agree with simula just play the game, the rest will come

[novel loom]

anyone wanna hop in the range for a 1v1? Just a chill warmup for me

[empty thistle]

Ye at 10 hours in the game he just needs to w key everything and get a feel for it lol

[blissful sail]

noobs

[blissful sail]

bro you need to do what most people who play aim trainers don't do

play the video game

thats it

[regal meteor]

[blissful sail]

good shit bro

[slate quest]

I’m kinda new to apex can anyone send me some videos or like links for resources for like all the movement in this game or anythings I should learn

I'm evolving into a casual bro this shit is not worth it I've decided

Ranked is so cancer I'd rather just play pubs and go for clips for the rest of existence or sum

[elder kayak]

i can play too 😃

[slate quest]

My bad just saw this yeah I’m NA

[regal meteor]

i added both of u on discord we can find sometime to play

does anyone have any good kovaaks scenarios for r5 1v1 aiming

like a few good ground scens and farther control tracking ig

[tight totem]

put the patstrafe into the bag

father control is it controlsphere far longer

andcloverrawcontrol

Man 2023 r5

Mostly mnk few bad rollers and movement players

[shrewd pollen]

R5 was good till 2024

Then rip

[blissful sail]

https://tenor.com/view/its-peak-old-man-shaking-head-gif-3938163323164042530

[shrewd pollen]

Honestly i liked the scoreboard, it gives me more motivation to play it

[blissful sail]

After it became a 1 click install too many roller apes joined the barrier of a little bit of tech literacy was gone so you had pros hard cover playing crouch spamming ad spamming passive rollers

[elder kayak]

how do i send playlists code?

[vague nexus]

r5 is only on NA now

cant play for shit

also movement and strafe speed is off

doesnt feel like retail apex at all

[shrewd pollen]

its always been like this, probably on na its worse cuz you get high ping but its the build game

[devout tusk]

no hitslow

and everyone on ping means accell seems higher due to bigger server corrections

[hushed forge]

"just track" brutal.

[novel loom]

Come back to r5 make that shit popular again

[novel loom]

Close long strafe invincible
Close fast strafes invincible
VT Ground Plaza

Understand dodge and all forms of strafe aim (mirror anti mirror, circling, global bias ect.)

And then you’re good

After that just grind ts while focusing on being hard to hit while also maintaining high accuracy

[blissful sail]

seems youve played only valo ?

you need to play patstrafe

get astra pat strafe or close to it and you will be good

enemys move you need to move as well in apex

[novel loom]

This is the way

[blissful sail]

you're coming from a game where you sit there and pre aim for 90% of the time and the other 10% is ability spam

[novel loom]

Also have a 400 hr minimum quake lg arc

[novel loom]

Some people just want those skitzo mechs tho for the fk of it

[blissful sail]

i mean good mechs still help even in a game like valo

people who came from fortnite or ow do well

https://www.twitch.tv/pablominecraft2011/clip/SpicySassyTurtleCorgiDerp-VaGMbkHXMC2j0DjJ

@novel loom notice something im playing kovaaks while in que and waiting for people

high elo

[novel loom]

Yeah bro I do the same shii lol

You wanna know some funny lore Pablo me and you had some r5 beef a couple years ago lol @blissful sail

[blissful sail]

really ?

[novel loom]

Yeah 😂

I mean this was probably 2023 or around then

[blissful sail]

bro i used to be a r5 grinder

yeah thats when i did nothing but just play r5

[novel loom]

Same here

Oh ik

[blissful sail]

putting 8 hours in with music

[novel loom]

U were online everyday just like me 😂

But that was the good days of r5

Back when all the skitzo mnk players played it

[blissful sail]

truth bro

seems most people who played the r5 server knew about voltaic before hand

i played the server because i wanted to learn movement

and i think it was season 15 at the time which was brain rot

broken moon was a horrible map

and still is

[novel loom]

I think VT had a server as well for a bit ran by rigsychu

But yeah there was a lot of r5 grinders in here back then. Doki being one of them

[blissful sail]

bro i had AURA during those early r5 times

i got glazed before i knew them or was here

man i wish i had that passion that i did have with r5

nowadays

8 hour shifts or longer just grinding 1v1's for the love of the GAME

maybe someone will release a good shooter or game that ignites that passion

[blissful sail]

shit wasn't even a grind i just loved doing it, it was just so much fun to me

[bright slate]

Doki glaze

[floral lodge]

yeah me and nosh used to own an ffa server too

it was like some random maps but it was wingman r99 was so fun

[regal meteor]

i play cs

It’s honestly more reactive than Val but nothing compared to apex lmao

[dull falcon]

Quick question

Is the minimum for a tdm lobby 6

If its less it dont work right

[blissful sail]

if you don't have admin code i think so

but if you have admin code you can 1v1 in the tdm mode

shits fun as hell

[shrewd pollen]

sometimes we could run, there arent many good players in r5 these days

[dull falcon]

Actual apex right???

[blissful sail]

yeah

if you're in pl or ask ea and for some reason the guy checking is generous they give you a high priority code

better server than normal customs and rights as well

so you can be alone in a map with no ring and shit

[novel loom]

I think I remember playing on that

That was ages ago it feels like haha

[novel loom]

The nostalgia is crazy haha do you remember haribostarfish or Fortnitekid?

[dull falcon]

U think theyd let me get one im not in PL

[regal meteor]

any newbies wanna play ranked together

[lapis moat]

no

makes me worse at the game

rather range or just get on quake

[regal meteor]

apex crosshair is so mega distracting

its unreal

[novel loom]

word. I dont even play retail anymore but i could definitely see that

[lapis moat]

the mismatch in strafe speed is so bad

[regal meteor]

46cm apex?

[empty thistle]

Valid

[dull falcon]

pablo where do i find him or get this]\

[blissful sail]

use external or monitor one if its good

[blissful sail]

i don't think you will get a code if you know anyone in comp they might give it to you

there are codes that are heavily shared and some times scrim hosts could give you a code to use

but the official way to get a admin code non PL is to like email EA apex esport something something

.com

[regal meteor]

I have external but god i hope there is a way to turn crosshair off

[bright slate]

nope

game is stuck in 1940

[empty thistle]

Who needs crosshairs when you have aim assist

[rancid slate]

How can you use an external crosshair?

in apex

[novel loom]

crosshairx and hudsight @rancid slate

but i dont think its that helpful on this game

u can find both of those programs on steam iirc its like 3-4 dollars

[rancid slate]

Thank you, I do notice sometimes the cross hair bugs out, especially when there is a lot of visual clutter. I’ve seen like 3 small dots instead of the one large lol

[lapis moat]

thats the tracer bug i think

been in the game for a while

i used to use an external crosshair but i dont think its worth it anymore

[dull falcon]

Which website?

[rose wraith]

Solid if you’re a mid range mnk player

You should play faster on hipfire if you’re constantly dropping on and holding small buildings, or pushing people a lot

30-35cm is really good for characters like wraith and Watson who are constantly fighting up close

[bright slate]

25cm 🧘‍♂️

[elder kayak]

how do you convert sensitivity to cm? mine 800dpi and ing 0.9

[bright slate]

#commands

itd be like /cm source 0.9 800

sens dpi might be swapped

[elder kayak]

can you converted for me

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 57.7273 cm/360°

[bright slate]

kinda low

[elder kayak]

57 cm damn but still feels like fast for me lol

[empty thistle]

How tf does that feel fast lmao

I’m so shit with my arm 50cm feels super slow

[bright slate]

sentence you to 2000 hours of 80cm bhopping

[elder kayak]

idk man

[elder kayak]

well indeed i have 2k hours in game

[proud hollow]

hey, would upgrading my ram from 2666mhz to 3200mhz have a significant increase of performance for apex?

[bright slate]

depends on the rest of your pc

[proud hollow]

ryzen 5 5600
rx 9060xt
2x8gb 2666mhz faspeed
a320m galax motherboard
apex installed on ssd

getting 120-180 fps on ranked (which isn't as good compared to other similar benchmarks)

[elder kayak]

lol my bad, my dpi 1600 and ing 0.9 🤣

@bright slate can you convert again

[bright slate]

57cm

[elder kayak]

no my dpi 1600 and ign 0.9

[bright slate]

o

half that

so like

[elder kayak]

yea

[bright slate]

25

[elder kayak]

i see

thx

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 28.8636 cm/360°

[elder kayak]

not bad

[empty thistle]

Unfortunately I think it would help a lot 🥀

[empty thistle]

Much more normal hahaha

[elder kayak]

yeah lol

[shrewd pollen]

sure

[elder kayak]

damn i was so close 😭

[mellow kestrel]

how do i stop being ass if ive been good before

whats the best way to get the rust off 😭

[bright slate]

play

[mellow kestrel]

im trying it doesnt work 😔

how did i just forget all the grind i did bruh

swear i've had an amnesia or smth

[rancid slate]

how does one remove dust / fuzz / tiny hair from an artisan pad

is lint roller a no go?

[mellow kestrel]

microfibre cloth works suprisingly well

the hairs that get stuck in weaving you might have to pull out manually tho if a lint remover doesnt help

but yeah idk guess i got old

officially cant lock in anymore

gg

[mental ridge]

isnt 2666speed ram meant to be over clocked to 3200 or so

[regal meteor]

when doing patstrafe do i just try to antimirror

[rancid slate]

I usually just try to mimic what I do in apex, which is going to be both antimirror and mirror

[novel loom]

merry christmas y'all 🎅

[devout tusk]

you need to want it like you wanted it when you were good

i also can no longer bring myself to care

washed4ever

[mellow kestrel]

i think ur very right, like i still want it (or want it back rather) but def not to the extent as back when i was young, unemployed and grinding tf out of this game + kovaaks + lg every day

also i remember your nick from back in the day, good to see you still around. merry xmas :)

[devout tusk]

🧓 merry christmas, yep i feel the same way, i want it back but when i open kovaaks i play for 3 minutes instead of 3 hours

[regal meteor]

WHEN The patstrafe bot kisses u

XD

[blissful sail]

who let the valo coach in here ?

its a br with most impactful and most fights happening close range

[bright slate]

hows the meta nowadays

[blissful sail]

you're forced to fight close range if you get kills from long range the enemy lowkey braindead

[bright slate]

do long range knocks actually matter

[blissful sail]

i mean to push sure

man i miss competing this off season is hell

i wanna have A GAME

[novel loom]

who you playing with now @blissful sail

[blissful sail]

same people that i played in with PL

Aneqii and clone

and maybe henry (coach) but we will see

[novel loom]

bet

yall gonna make pl again?

[blissful sail]

after champs invites come out

hope i don't have to play random POIs and no legend bans

[rose wraith]

? I’m multi season solo q masters in apex

[novel loom]

hope yall are succesful need more mnk in the scene

[blissful sail]

my fault drilla i assumed the worst

[rose wraith]

I feel pretty comfortable saying that some players do in fact play apex in a way where point blank fights are more common, such as streamer building, or doors in general

Most mid skill players who aren’t actively trying to push squads and cycle the combat loop asap will spend more time rotating and then plinking at targets than swinging and fighting up close

[blissful sail]

if you play to win you take close range fights if you play comp most of your fights are close range

[novel loom]

^

was just about to say this

[blissful sail]

its a br the ring gets smaller there is no running away from it

[rose wraith]

Don’t get me wrong 45cm is like…the upper end of what your hipfire should be

Most players should be on 35cm

But if you’re scrimming and you’re The Mnk Players with a DMR

You might prefer a bit more of a sturdy mid range sens feel

[blissful sail]

bro most common mnk sens seems to be 46cm for some reason

[rose wraith]

It’s an op sens

Great 1x wingman control

But responsive enough to get by

Sentinel + wingman abusers want a slower sens

Automatics want 35cm

[blissful sail]

idk i played 46 for years and now playing 28 and holy shit 46 is awful

most players don't use per optic sens as well so they swipping the mouse on their entire desk to look around with a 3x

[rose wraith]

A lot of people don’t have thousands of hours of game sens

46cm is a comfortable sens if you don’t have great aim

I think it’s easy to panic on 30-35cm if you’re untrained

The extra stability gives consistency which people value

Being able to operate with the same overall precision at 35cm imo is pretty tough without quite a bit of volume training reactive ground either in a trainer or just thousands of reps in BR

Since most people are various shades of casual…

46cm becomes a comfortable Sunday

Players who understand fights end up close where shield swaps and knocks exist value the responsiveness and consistency in beams when you play a more responsive sensitivity

icl

only players that should be picking that up

[leaden loom]

should i install this game n give it a try

[bright slate]

sure

game is awful the dev team is awful

[regal meteor]

hardest game i tried unironically

wow i actually cant mirror in kovaaks

i just lock up

[dull falcon]

lhow to fix This

[novel loom]

u cant

just gotta wait til EAC servers are back up

shit has been down for the past 4 hours

[devout tusk]

no reason to go under 35cm in this game tbh things arent fast enough to need faster and youre poking 90% of the time so better to just have a chill sens

i m o

40-45 is perf

[bright slate]

ew

25

🧘‍♂️

[rancid slate]

kovaaks seems to skip or something everytime a new dummy spawns and i flick to it, is this normal or am i cooked

think it might just be patstrafe

[bright slate]

whats your polling rate

[rancid slate]

8k

but that's never been an issue in other scens

[bright slate]

🤷‍♂️

try 4k

[rancid slate]

ill try to lower and see if that stops

well damn it was the polling rate

4k no skipping, thanks

[bright slate]

np

[rancid slate]

instantly get a new pb too lol

[wicked flame]

kovaaks can't handle 8k polling rate

your fps will drop whenever the mouse move

[rancid slate]

i see that now

when should i swap from patstrafe int to adv?

until i hit master?

[regal meteor]

i played few runs today

well more like 30 - 40

was 20 pts off masters

will get it tmr prolly

[severe canyon]

If you don’t have celestial you’ll be hardstuck platinum

That’s how the scenario works

[peak oyster]

do 2k, that seems to be the sweet spot for me. I did 8k all the time bc i thought it was better, but the issue is that is puts a massive strain on your pc / cpu and causes stuttering and lag in game, so the trade off is NOT worth it. 2k polling is plenty, despite being just barely more latency on input

[mental ridge]

the problem with 8k especially when u use comparatively low dpis like 1600 or less is that only during fast movements there will be enought data collected to reach a data transmission rate of 8khz

so during tracking etc your effective pollingrate might be 1-2k max

8k only really matters if u use a dpi high enought that normal mousemovents collect a shiton of data wich can be achived by using 6400dpi for example

the pollingrate of mice is dynamic

dpi is kinda the wrong term with mice cpi (counts per inch) is more accurate

your mouse alway sends a count when ever it moves 1/1600 of an inch at 1600cpi for example
so if u move your mouse 8000x 1/1600 of an inch per second or 5 inches per second only then there is enough data collected to send 8000 counts per second wich is a frequency of 8000hz

[hallow sail]

not reading all that

[final forge]

Not true. The mouse sensor always runs at its native resolution.
In reality higher polling rate only reduces the end to end latency. The increased data flow is completely irrelevant for most use cases

[mental ridge]

read context

bro only had stutter on flicks

[mental ridge]

whats your point behind a sensor always running at native resolution ? what do u wanna point out by bringing that up

[shrewd pollen]

guys take chill for this day

merry christmas boyz 🎉

[mental ridge]

we are german / Austrian we celebrtated Christmas yesterday, its time to beef to offset the way to peaceful evening we had yesterday

[shrewd pollen]

so gaming today

[mental ridge]

nah i aint at home

[shrewd pollen]

unlucky

anyway eat for me too danke

[mental ridge]

i can try, time to become american obese

[bright slate]

I thnk 4k is worth if you dont lose any performence

[final forge]

And? You still end up with 8k samples every second. They will all be very similar or even the same but still need to be processed

[mental ridge]

i* might not have brought across my point that good but my point is that lower dpi tend to show less if your pc can handle 8k

just because your pc/game can handle slow movements with 8k enabled doesnt mean its gonna actually handle true 8k inputs

[mellow kestrel]

i come back 3-4 years later and horizon still never makes a footstep 💔

they gotta list that shit as a passive atp

dead silence from cod ahh

[bright slate]

Audio will never be fixed

[mellow kestrel]

def not

[mental ridge]

maybe if apex ever gets a new engine

[shrewd pollen]

lets go champ

[elder stump]

source engine never really had amazing directional audio

[mental ridge]

well b4 they started to include terrain occlusion to audio it wasn't bad

[mellow kestrel]

is 27" 1440p kinda throw?

feel like ill never get as good as i was on 1080 24" even with +120hz lol

[mental ridge]

do u maybe need glasses ?

[elder stump]

why would it be

[mellow kestrel]

nah i had laser

[elder stump]

bigger monitor isn't bad

[mellow kestrel]

dunno

just mousefeel is diff for me idk

[elder stump]

damn bro how old are you

[mellow kestrel]

my centering is weird

im 24 lol

(unc)

[elder stump]

getting lasik at 24 is crazy

[mellow kestrel]

bro i was mega nearsighted

for the longest

couldnt deal with glasses and contacts

[elder stump]

you know it's not a permanent solution right

[mental ridge]

im pretty certain his doctors told him alot b4 doing it

[mental ridge]

u got a oled?

[mellow kestrel]

yea

[mellow kestrel]

im aware how it works bud lol

[elder stump]

24 inch 1440p would be soooo fire

[mellow kestrel]

no change in my vision after 3y atleast

[mental ridge]

do u have it further away from you than your 24 inch monitor ?

[mellow kestrel]

id say no, not really

[mental ridge]

maybe try that since that way it might be more similar to how you prscived your 24 inch

[mellow kestrel]

🤔 you might be onto something, ty

i dont miss being unemployed and just grinding every day but damn i miss being cracked
