im ngl that is completely meaningless

#

strafe speed is faster and wraith is significantly smaller than any character in the real game

#

and not every engagement is close range at the same elevation preaimed at the enemy

#

also most of the better than 42% average acc is just farmed by challing people

#

controller is undeniably better at close range but not to the extent it is on r5

#

and its worse at other things

quaint karma
#

i know way more about this than you bro

mental ridge
#

you truely got aimassist brainwashed

quaint karma
#

sorry to saay

mental ridge
quaint karma
#

what an odd question to ask

mental ridge
quaint karma
#

didnt say that

#

read what i said

devout tusk
# mental ridge cope

its rly not that bad anymore, i cant remember the last time i "lost to roller"

quaint karma
#

played mnk for a match the other day i didnt even notice who was controller and who wasnt

#

lol

devout tusk
#

fr

#

crazy how .3 was all we asked for for 5 years and its all we needed

quaint karma
#

they also lowered strafe speed and reduced visual clutter

#

removed your screen shaking when you get hit on flesh and theres outlines and healthbars

devout tusk
#

i have hp bars off lol but i alr forgot we used to have screen shake

quaint karma
#

hp bars are lowkey an advantage to have on cuz they persist even in smoke and behind cover for a bit

devout tusk
#

in theory but i just find them distracting like crosshair overlay

#

for me personally

#

i play way better with them offand i dont find the hp information that helpful, and on low hp i would look at them way more

#

sometimes they still show for some reason too

quaint karma
#

average apex things

mental ridge
#

its either 90% of the time a controller player on 10% of the time some cracked mnk player

#

also all u see are controller players

devout tusk
#

still i dont really feel like i lost purely because they had aim assist anymore

#

before i would have insane aim day;s and occasionally die to some clueless level 100 loba player

#

never ever happens anymore

quaint karma
#

also if you look at the stats of good mnk playeres on r5 youll see that they have like 40% acc for the smgs

#

and just low AR cuz its the secondary and you hipfire with it

#

these are sikezz stats btw

#

same thing here

#

depending on how you play the secondary you get lower or higher acc

#

i saw that he hipfires a lot on secondary

#

whatever the discrepancies are i think they apply way more at the casual level than at the top level

#

dont really concern myself with casual players tbh

#

havent lost a fight and thought it was cuz of AA since 0.3

#

i still dont respect clankers obviously but im not gonna pretend theres some impossible gap unless you are trying to wideswing koyful in the range 24/7

lapis moat
#

during 0.4 era it was really bad but now its not really an issue

marble hawk
#

Forcing assumptions about a monomodal gaussian distribution etc

#

Yeah I've never played controller or with AA but these numbers looks obscene

quaint karma
#

37/28

#

or am i wrong

mental ridge
#

@quaint karma@devout tusku guys play any ranked or scrims coz what u say sounds like pubs / wildcard talk

#

in wildcard i cant even tell who killed me hzalf the time

ocean flame
#

in the end

#

all of you are diamond players

#

u guys prob dont even know what goes on tbh

marble hawk
#

I think what's important is that there's an obvious gap between the two. The panel showing that the mean (50th percentile) controller accuracy beats the 99th percentile MnK accuracy is pretty damning.

quaint karma
#

imagine if we had real numbers for the real game and not an idealized scenario which favors controller in multiple ways

ocean flame
#

You're welcome

marble hawk
#

You asked what the % were so I gave it to you

quaint karma
#

didnt ask anything

#

46% seemed awfully high and idk where you got it from

#

considering i calculated 28

#

i didnt know*

empty thistle
#

Idk I think setting it to where average roller up close is 1sd above mean of mnk is pretty fair considering the other drawbacks

#

2SD is pretty crazy

#

The current state is like the gap between a vt gold and nova lol

#

I’ll be honest I never feel like I get rolled anymore either

#

However I think I’d probably shit on people a lot more if aa was set so mnk and roller are relatively close

#

just give us pc only lobbies

#

trying to balance an objectively worse input device is always going to end up like this

#

or just nerf aa until average controller aim is worse than pc

#

as it should be

#

then allow people to play console only or pc only lobbies and the issue is fixed

dull falcon
#

what about comp?

hushed forge
#

they can switch to kbm if they want to compete

#

or stick to a worse input device

mental ridge
# dull falcon what about comp?

ngl aimassist should be balanced so that in the close to mid range controller is even with mnk

like if u pick up a shit input u shouldnt be expecting it to be good

be grateful u get any kind of assistance

mental ridge
#

as in pros

hushed forge
#

they could also allow console to have either console only lobbies with aimassist or they can play in crossplay lobbies but they have really weak or no aimassist

mental ridge

#

apex is dead to most mnk players

hushed forge
#

pc apex would only go up

mental ridge
#

if controllers wanna play their controller only console lobbies they shall play console

#

but on pc controller shouldn't be stronger than mnk since its a dual input platform

hushed forge
#

pc controller should have no aimassist ngl

#

theres genuinely zero reason for it to

#

at least with console you can make the argument they cant use kbm

#

but on pc they can just use kbm

marble hawk
dull falcon
#

tbh i dont get why console is roller only and pc is both ( literally made me xim for this reason only at the time) cod u can play on mouse and key even if you have a console. is it not possible to put pc rollers in console lobbies?

mental ridge
hushed forge
#

"Im going to use an objectively inferior input device on pc and you have to cater to me and give me soft aim"

marble hawk
#

But yeah, from* my own experience, cross play with AA was the thing that killed my interest in the game

hushed forge
#

and console kids will whine about that

mental ridge
#

pc is already primarily controller players lol

dull falcon
#

bru hthey got ps5 now if ur on an o0ld console u probably cheat with external hardware

hushed forge
#

ps5 is still limited to 120 fps

120 fps with dynamic res

im.not certain tho all.i know.is that console looks blurry

#

like if we;re talking heights, avg mnk is 5'9, avg roller is 6'5

like bro the aaverage mnk and controller players are so bad

#

i bought a potato ricer im going to make mashed potatoes today

blissful sail

#

i only play ranked so the clankers i run into i usually can just outdamage

#

fighting koy on r5 back in the day is still the most depressing thing ive ever done in apex

i guess bro if you're in boblow it ain't a problem

blissful sail
#

rollerdroids deserve the worst in life

lapis moat
#

im too employed to predgrind but i end up somewhere in 20k masters so i run into pred rollers every sesh

#

most of the time htey are genuinely handless

#

either handless or actually just titan/wallhacks

blissful sail
#

like a bellcurve shit mnks hate and blame roller

#

mid mnks like you can beat them by being better

#

the top is like yeah you ain't beating a computer

#

good luck

lapis moat
#

if im playing in pl im posting infinite anti clanker propaganda

#

any fight i lose in scrims/game day is cuz of clankers even if i troll

blissful sail
#

i was bro and im going to be in it soon

blissful sail
#

you can't cope and think a computer aiming for you ain't that strong

lapis moat
#

the real numbers definitely skew toward roller

#

still

#

not even a chance they dont

quaint karma
#

just aint that deep to be worried about it anymore

#

at all times

golden sphinx
#

Idk if it's just an EU server thing but I keep running into octane wingman demons

#

On NA never really had issues

#

But these octane wingman players on EU don't miss a single shot

#

No matter how bad the angles are they get me lol only manage to kill them because they get greedy and super glide at me

tight totem
#

wingman is the method

mental ridge
#

@lapis moat @quaint karma its easy for you guys to say aimassist is not a problem if both of your are probably in the top 0.6% thats better than the average r5r controller player mechanically

lapis moat
#

just depends on the context

#

if people are trying to rank grind i don't think it's a serious complaint

#

if its for casuals running around in wildcard/lower ranks it is an issue

#

it is a problem in competitive as well to some extent

#

just because it's never truly fair and the top rollers are genuinely unkillable in 1v1s

#

but at the same time if you are shooting like 28% on r5 please get a little better first

tight totem
#

what if you just think of rollers as the mnk goats

i have been enjoying the wingman too

yeah it says 3-4

but i played with this dude yesterday

mental ridge

he didnt play too bad but he did die first in the last fight we had

wintry cypress

that and i only play with randoms because i clearly hate myself

my teammate that game had pred and master badges and i thought dude was bouta hard carry

Most preds are just regular masters without their stack icl

#

needless to say i was disappointed tho we probably would have won if i didnt get 1 tapped across the map with a kraber 😭

glossy talon
#

There's a top of people that flex season 1-3 pred badges + the season 17 master rewards

golden sphinx
#

i think it had 500 on his pred badge

#

honestly how some players with pred badges and masters badges play i swear they must be buying accounts or something

wintry cypress
#

I have a master badge from s16 or something and hes right ^

Im really just a slightly better dia player with above average aim

Imagine not being top 300 in most ground scens

#

Are you even trying

dull falcon
#

you know waht i feel idk if everyone is like this i think they would be

dull falcon
#

the example is r5, like ill be on r5 and be super conscious , intentional, but i get on the game even to warming up on the game as well like ill go on auto pilot although im telling myself or focusing on doing something specific whether it be strafing , playing w the geometry etc. and i just fall into like the default of like strafe aiming or non bias strafes( short rhythmic A-d that feels dependent on how opponent is moving in the sense of that shitty controller a-d spam). like i cant treat the game with the same mentality i approach kovaaks or just 1v1s i guess. its not really an issue i guess but something I've noticed and it gets more noticeable when u dont get away with it or just vod reviewsig

guys do you have tipps for new players?

guys i was playing apex for around two weeks now but i found out that my aim sucks, do you guys have a kovaaks playlist for apex but no too long long like in the resources i do not have 1,5h for just aim training

empty thistle
#

0.1% of the effort, 100000x the results

fleet cliff
#

can you explain?

undone copper
#

either rollerburger or controller

fleet cliff
#

i am mouse and keyboard player tho

empty thistle
#

Yeah but you need to become a top 0.5% mnk player to have the aim of an average controller

#

So if you don’t want to practice much

quaint karma
#

😭

empty thistle
#

Just play controller

quaint karma
#

thats not true at all

empty thistle
#

I mean that’s what those r5 stats say 😭

real fights dont really play out like r5

#

most of the time

undone copper
undone copper
#

true

empty thistle
#

Idk man I’m disillusioned, I’m closing in on gm reactive and my aim still feels like a wet noodle compared to controllers up close

quaint karma
#

best to practice aim in-game

undone copper
fleet cliff
#

okay thanks

quaint karma
#

although gm reactive is nice

#

get that ig

#

unless youre not actually improving at reactive but just like only improving at the scenario

#

cuz some people do that

empty thistle
#

Nah I barely bench

undone copper
empty thistle
#

I just thought originally when I started kovaaks, gm / nova and I’d have the advantage up close against average controllers

#

Turns out I probably won’t

quaint karma
#

i think if they put a different character like octane or something and adjusted strafe speeds so theyre like in apex itd be closer

#

but controller still has an advantage in those fights

empty thistle
#

I’m getting gm for shits and giggles then I’m swapping I think

#

I never feel like rollers an issue until I fight pred controller players

#

Then it feels like every fair 1v1 is hard trolling

fleet cliff
#

idk im in silver rn

undone copper
#

need the lagswitch

empty thistle
#

I still enjoy aim training for its own sake, but for apex improvement I wish I’d just bit the bullet and swapped a long time ago

undone copper
#

one day you'll have built in roller aim just gotta believe

fleet cliff
#

oh guys

#

one thing

#

if i play 106fov in apex should i put my fov in kovaaks and aimlabs 106?

undone copper
#

usually just 103 overwatch

fleet cliff
#

why tho?

undone copper
#

lots of popular benchmarks and scenarios are designed with that fov in mind basically

#

can go higher as well

fleet cliff
#

yeah but wouldnt that my make aim good only in overwatch?

empty thistle
#

If ingame is better I’ll be overjoyed

undone copper
fleet cliff
undone copper
#

can also go higher than 103 ow depending

or 2-10 whichever doesnt make you want to quit

Why don’t mnk players just turn off cross play on match day

#

???

golden sphinx
#

Pc players can't disable crossplay

#

We are always pc lobbies unless someone decides to play with a console player and many do

#

But the main problem isn't even crossplay lol it's how many controller players switched to pc before crossplay was a thing

#

Literally had console players switching to pc for an easier ranked experience

was there not a single LTM in 2022

worn anvil
#

Do you know why?

quaint karma
#

i wonder

#

why i would ask this question

#

if i knew why

worn anvil
#

You wouldn’t, which is why it’s rhetorical

#

it’s because respawn was dropping too many modes and started focusing on permanent ones. This is where they implemented arenas and put the wildcard system in to keep the playerbase concentrated

#

In arenas there was it’s own version of the damage and rank badges

#

which were similarly easy to get

quaint karma
#

what wild card system

worn anvil
#

yk when u q for tdm/control/wtv

#

That’s the wild card system

Same thing bro idk what they rebrand it to 24/7

quaint karma
# worn anvil cool

ok i wasnt sure if maybe in s9 when they introduced arenas they may have had a damage badge for arenas that was taken away

#

you mean the arenas winstreak badge?

#

that was about it in terms of badges

i hate my oled monitor

shit went into some pixel refresh thingy mid game

#

cant cancel it

#

had to move it to my second montor and play sideways

glossy talon
golden sphinx
#

it says its mandatory

#

i checked settings and the only option under panel care is proceed

#

which makes it do the pixel refresh

#

i guess my only option would be to like do it before a game session or something since it only happens every couple of days but it only gives u 10 minutes notice lol

#

if i knew like a few hours before or something it would be so easy to work around

#

or even just 30 minutes since then i know not to queue for another game

last fight we get a knock so i throw a pad and i see crypto run forward so im like ok he is gonna push so i pad over and he just stops and doesnt take the pad

so i just get 2v1 😭

idk how people get burn-in

wintry cypress
#

ive clocked 3k hours on this monitor in almost like a year or something and it still doesnt have any burn in

golden sphinx
#

i dont use any wallpapers

vital ivy
#

do people just leave their pc + monitor on 24/7 for the wallpaper to be an issue anyways

#

just let it go into standby 😭

golden sphinx
#

but i feel like i might end up with a kovaaks scoreboard burnt into my screen with how long i leave it up

golden sphinx
#

cause my arm will get tired and ill switch to my other monitor to watch youtube

wintry cypress
#

then again i also change my wallpaper once every couple months

just dont run at full brightness and youll be fine i feel like

Hi friends, I want to ask you something about R5 Apex. Whenever I try to download R5 Apex, it stops at a certain point and keeps re-downloading the same part over and over again. For example, let’s say the total file size is 30 GB — it downloads up to 22 GB, and the remaining 8 GB keeps restarting in a loop. Even if I restart the application, it just starts that part again like a circle. In the end, I can’t launch R5 because the game never fully downloads. What am I doing wrong or what am I missing? Can someone please tell me?

# golden sphinx there is no option to turn it off

you are doing something wrong, I had 3 oled monitors so far and all of them only had a pixel cleaning reminder that could be turned off. Pixel cleaning should only happen when the monitor enters standby mode

i think ranked being dogshit is the #1 problem with retention

#

no point to play it

blissful sail
#

they said they watched player feedback and surveys for the rank changes

bright slate
#

me when i lie with a straight face to the people who make my paychecks

blissful sail
#

i don't think they lied

#

we usually talk about the game and think about the game on pc

#

but i think those mfs ask and care about console players and opinions

#

which is the problem

bright slate
#

they unfortunately have to care about them

blissful sail
#

no they dont

#

content creators comp anything that gets people to see apex and play apex happens on pc

#

its like overwatch you have the game playable on console

#

and the people can play it or enjoy it

#

pay for skins but you don't really think of them or consider them

bright slate
#

i think the biggest thing they could do for console

#

is not put me in console control lobbies.

#

unless the input icon is just bugged

#

have opt in crossplay for both pc and console

# severe canyon Why?

game doesnt feel like a br anymore, really boring til the end.

every poi plays out the same way most of the time. fights mostly happen in the middle of nowhere on random rocks until final zones so these huge pois designed for multiple squad fights are just wasted, edge pois get zero action ever, theres some edistrict spots that are so fucking big and detailed but its just a loot park with dropships.. You always have everything you want after your poi so most guns are irrelevant might as well remove them.

pace of the game is boring, 3rd parties are rare, 1 fight run around, 1 fight run around,

then sometimes you get put on some noname place with 3 loot spots, maps were just not designed for dropships.

really just seems like people care more about consistent rp gains than the game being fun to me.

severe canyon
#

You want more third parties?

#

You might be the devil wtf

devout tusk
#

yes i love the chaos in apex

#

when you win those situations its the best feeling

#

game is so stale without that

severe canyon
#

I feel like I get thirded quite a decent amount after zone 1 honestly

#

Regardless of how fast fights happen

devout tusk
#

it happens but its later in the match usually for me usually

severe canyon
#

I do agree with the poi thing though

devout tusk
#

like i think dropships can work in theory but the game wasnt made for it so its got issues and its just a bandaid fix

severe canyon
#

Although I don’t think poi’s are wasted over the course of multiple games because zone inevitably goes different places

devout tusk
#

it does but some get 20x more play than others

#

that hotel area on edistrict with the back area

#

i dont think ive ever fought there bro

#

resort

#

lotus is fun too and so rare to fight there

severe canyon
#

There’s a good amount of zones that go front of resort

#

Usually when I rotate there earlyish I get fights

devout tusk
#

ispecifically mean the back, i fightin the water a lot

#

out front

severe canyon
#

That’s kinda always been the case in the game

#

You never fight very edge of the map because there’s less zones and loot there

#

No one rotates around the edge of resort like that

devout tusk
#

i guess but two squads could drop there at least, its just even less variety is my issue

severe canyon
#

I do agree with you that early game fights in poi’s that are less common is missing but I think it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for better quality games overall

golden sphinx
#

luckily if you dont like a more competitive style u can just stay plat or below

#

or play unranked

rancid slate
#

Ranked should just mimic ALGS format

#

and be done with it

#

idk why they just try to make it semi competetive when it should just be comp or pubs, choose your poison

devout tusk
#

i think the zone mechanic is so unexplored

golden sphinx
#

i think its like

#

solo players vs non solo players

#

dropships are fine if you are 3 stack on comms

devout tusk
#

yea soloq i can see it being great

#

i dont game much anymore tho only with friends so to me its worse

golden sphinx
#

but if its randoms and they hot drop on 4 teams and they dont even ping what part of the poi they are landing

devout tusk
golden sphinx
#

ends up just being rng who can get weapons or ammo

devout tusk
#

in 3 minute fight

rancid slate
#

Nothing better than hot drop landing on a single p20 and the dude next to you gets a blue mag r9.

golden sphinx
#

had a game the other day where we hot dropped and all i got were nades and a single p2020 with 20 bullets

#

to fight 2 teams

devout tusk
golden sphinx
#

dropzone means my teammates dont just throw right from the start of the game and i get a chance to loot and get some decent gear and there are never teams too far away so any poi you decide to rotate to towards the zone will likely have a team to fight

rancid slate
#

The true fix for ranked is making master + solo q only

devout tusk
#

they will never

golden sphinx
#

make that start at diamond or plat lol

#

too many pros just be triple stacking

rancid slate
#

I wouldn't mind it starting at plat

golden sphinx
#

most games end up doing it in ranked i wouldnt be against it since i only soloq anyways

rancid slate
#

diamond + would be so much more balanced it's crazy

devout tusk
#

long ago it would split lobbies automatically but theres not enough players anymore

#

though maybe that was just for pubs

so i ordered a ninjutso ten air and an arye rcc-1

#

too small for my hand

# bright slate i think ranked being dogshit is the #1 problem with retention

anything < diamond is fairly popular, so your statement isn't entirely true. For most players the ranked system is quiet good, not ideal but decent. High ranked on the other hand is complete garbage and a lot of players just see streamers complain about stuff that doesnt even matter for 99% of players yet they share streamers opinions and wont play

And just in general because of rotational aim assist long strafes tend to stress controller players more than short strafes like for example if you look up r5 verhulst vods he loses far more 1v1s against long strafes
