apex

[tight totem]

i made the same face when you asked where you could turn the ui off from

[wintry cypress]

Kinda i think, i remember going diagonal from the spacebar superglides they added into the game

[nova sorrel]

I meant where in setting

But thank u

[tight totem]

in gameplay

[nova sorrel]

Alr thnx

Wait u js turn the whole thing off

Do u get the same distance as the old superglide?

[keen scarab]

yes

you just can't tap strafe with it and it has a visual and audio indicator

[nova sorrel]

Is it better to have it off or on

[keen scarab]

well my superglides are inconsistent when i need it most, so i just mantle boost

[nova sorrel]

Alr

I think I’ll keep it off

When I used to play my superglides were kind of consistent

It should get better w practice

[placid root]

You can have it on the movement bind

I use both

Since the normal superglide triggers the slide cooldown

[nova sorrel]

So u can use both of them?

[placid root]

yes

[nova sorrel]

Ahh ok

I’ll try that

What movement key do u use?

[placid root]

I put mine on Alt

[slate sedge]

Anyone here use always run? I find that I am having a hella time getting into instant slides cause i dont hit the shift key fast enough before the cntl

i get so many dead slides, I was thinking maybe always run could help?

[nova sorrel]

Ale

[nova sorrel]

I tried always run but it’s not very useful in game, in endgames most of the time it’s better to walk especially if it’s a small end zone

I use shift for sprint instead of control

And I have control and v for crouch

V is only for super glides

It’s easier to hit shift than control

[mental ridge]

well u can have both

[slate sedge]

Shift is my sprint. But I don’t seem to hit it fast enough before I w key Woodward then cntrl slide? Did I misunderstand

[nova sorrel]

yea some1 else pointed that out

thank u tho

[nova sorrel]

no that was mb

but i think thats js all practice

even when i started it was uncomfortable

[slate sedge]

Yeah. I’m conscious of my issue. I need to put the reps in

[nova sorrel]

js force urself to do more of it in game

like when i want to practice a specific movement mechanic, i always do it in fights

even if i fail n die

its fine

js do it

[slate sedge]

That’s good advice ty friend

[nova sorrel]

Np

May I ask what rank u are currently?

Also, what do u guys say is the most essential movement techs for octane

[slate sedge]

my highest was Plat 1, I am gold1 atm, I dont play ranked as much since they changed the drop ships. Feels more like pubs so i play more pubs. I am getting pretty good with super jump and mantle jumps. Just gotta watch taller characters in certain buildings mantle jumping dont work

[nova sorrel]

Alr, that’s good

But ngl I agree, there’s no more inventive to playing ranked anymore

[slate sedge]

Don’t get me wrong. I’m also ass. So I’m not higher rank cause I kinda suck. Maybe mornings LMFAO

[nova sorrel]

lol, but u get better w time

[slate sedge]

been playing since season 1. I think im past that point. I just play cause i like the pain

[nova sorrel]

Lmao

I get that then

[main merlin]

Gundam and Burnt Peanut gave apex life apparently

r5 is fun

[dull falcon]

mav disciple

[outer sleet]

There's no reason not to use it

Imo

[nova sorrel]

yo wildcard

wassup

and thanks

i js need a keybind to use it

[outer sleet]

Ye its good

[outer sleet]

Yo

I've been suffering hbu

[nova sorrel]

Im trying to get back to diamond

i downloaded apex again a couple days ago

started at bronze

[nova sorrel]

really? u use always sprint?

i never liked it

[outer sleet]

Ye I mean you have to press 1 less button

I need to try a walk bind though

The only reason I don't use it is because I don't have any keys free near my wasd

[outer sleet]

glhf

[nova sorrel]

But walk

[keen scarab]

i need to start finding people to actually play apex with

[outer sleet]

What's your rank?

We can play if you want

[keen scarab]

plat iv, i never solo queue and my friends don't play

[elder kayak]

i can play with you guys too if u can carry me

[outer sleet]

Sure

[elder kayak]

[glossy talon]

really dude

[shrewd pollen]

battlecord

[placid root]

the new gamemode makes you deadslide on mnk

it slows you down when you start sprinting

[nova sorrel]

What’s the lowest sens u can go and still have pretty good movement

[wintry cypress]

depends on what youre used to, you can be on a low sens and still have good movement if you train for mouse speed or just use low sens a lot

[nova sorrel]

In Val I use like a mid range sens, 0.3, 800 dpi

What is considered mid range in apex

I tried 1.7, 1.5 n 1.2

1.7 n 1.5 were good but not sure which would be better for movement

[mental ridge]

i run 0.6 and 1600 for ranked and 0.8 in 1vs1

[mental ridge]

id say Going below 0.6 1600 dpi will be rought

[outer sleet]

40-50cm probably. You want to be able to do quick 180 degree turns so I wouldn't go too low

[rancid slate]

is anyone else losing like all audio in wildcard rn?

[shell shore]

@atomic plover

[rose wraith]

finally a good aim clip

[outer sleet]

Good shots brother

[rancid slate]

Nice man

[nova sorrel]

Hmm alr, even ur sens is a bit too slow for me

I think I’ll try 1.6

[nova sorrel]

Kk, thnx

[half salmon]

0.44 1600 and im moving like a roller clanker

[mental ridge]

like fi anybody starts circling your youre dead right?

[half salmon]

no?

Use your shoulder brother

Typical 25cm abuser

[mental ridge]

60 CENTIMETERS IN HIPFIRE

brother he needs a whole mousepad for a 180

[rancid slate]

.96 1600, trust me bro

[royal schooner]

0.88 1600, trust me more

[ocean flame]

a gm should NOT be saying this

[arctic salmon]

change it to like 0.65-0.85

[empty thistle]

He’s almost nova btw

[wintry cypress]

wdym

oh

😭

i mean tbf sometimes u just have a shit day

[empty thistle]

nova popcorn paying off

[rose wraith]

Whisphere

[empty thistle]

mines one rank off urs and I can;'t do anything like that 😂

[wintry cypress]

yeah idk if i could pull that off and im almost nova PGTI

i mean my smoothness is defo better

but idk if i can react to that kinda movement LMAO

[bright slate]

pgti is evil

[wintry cypress]

nah this shit goated

[bright slate]

it would be cool

if it didnt go directly above your head

on every bounce

[wintry cypress]

for me it rarely does

like its never really 90 degrees directly above my head

but like 80 degrees yeah

[mental ridge]

@rose wraith you got any progress on the fast and long strafes humanoid switch scenarios?

just wanna flex real quick that im beta on both

[rose wraith]

The depth matching is very weird and I’ll need to learn the scenario

[mental ridge]

its fun imo

[nova sorrel]

I feel like with that sens ur mouse has travelled more than u

[nova sorrel]

Mr. Coach Ben

What key do u use for ur mantle boost

[rose wraith]

I have literally never thought about it

I just do super glide timings

[nova sorrel]

That’s was I was doing for I while, but sometimes I want to do a super glide instead of a mantle boost so I can tap strafe after

So I’m tryna find another key for it

[rose wraith]

Just don’t press both buttons for the super glizzy and u get the mantle

👍

[nova sorrel]

But won’t it activate if I use either of the buttons?

[rose wraith]

Ya isn’t that what you want?

I bind crouch toggle to V

So I can fat thumb press it + space bar

Makes timings ez

So if u don’t want the glizzy just press jump

If u do, press space bar and V

Cake

The mantle boost timer is a little earlier than the super glide

[nova sorrel]

Yea same but if I press jump for super glide along w V, won’t it activate the mantle?

[nova sorrel]

Oh

I see

I thought it was the same

[limpid fjord]

does anyone have playlists or scenarios for close range smg stuff? I'm only plat but I just get fucked by like every controller player in existence in smg range

[rose wraith]

No because you’ll miss the mantle timing if you super glide

There’s no ‘late’ timer for the mantle boost

You just glide or don’t

The timer window is coded to be immediately prio

Otherwise it would overlap

*massive disclaimer this is my opinion on how I think it works based on my experience and I have not looked at the code, just talking about the rules I perceive it to follow by

Mokey probably has a video about it

[nova sorrel]

Ahh I see, ill test it out n see if its true

[nova sorrel]

Lemme check

[rose wraith]

SG timer is like right after the mantle boost window closes

That’s my perception

The super glide is I believe the last 10% of the mantle itself

Jump then crouch, inputted on consecutive frames during that 10% window of the animation

The window is like 100-150ms iirc

But the inputs must be frame perfect consecutive

A rollouts enthusiast can check my work but that’s the gist of it

[nova sorrel]

I used to be able to hit the input like consistently, but i havent played in like 3 or 4 seasons

so i now i can only do it occasionaly

[rose wraith]

Just remember what I said abt it and u will go back to crushing

Try the keyboard bind too

[nova sorrel]

Yup I will

[rose wraith]

Mokey has a web app trainer for super glides too

Try that too

[nova sorrel]

Ive been grinding that superglide trainer

yea

that thing

but its usually 50 percent

i rarely get 70-80

[rose wraith]

What frame rate do you run

[nova sorrel]

I set it at 143

[granite grove]

tldr: bad at apex, trying to practice efficiently and asking for advice on doing so.

I’ve been watching my vods to pinpoint mistakes, so far it’s mostly being stressed/nervous.
it affects my aim and how I play, making me feel “clunky”

Everything feels better in firing range, but in-game everything goes to sh*t

So far I’ve just been playing more and trying to be proactive , I’m Orca (almost complete), gold complete on voltaic last time I did it (2 weeks ago)

I can provide VODs if need be, just let me know.

[nova sorrel]

cuz i saw a video where it was better to have it below 144. that was either for super glide or mantle jump

dont remember which

prob superglide

[rose wraith]

Super glides for sure

Mantles are free

Timing is beyond generous

[nova sorrel]

Im not exactly sure how to fix nervous aim

I think playing mroe should help

u js need to remain calm but im not exactly sure hwo u can practice thaat

[nova sorrel]

oh I can hit mantle consistently now

like 80ish% of the time

[rose wraith]

Mantle is free window is huge

Definitely made for the normies

[granite grove]

It’s really only in apex that I get this nervous which is somewhat confusing, do you think mixtape would be better to get used to mechanics? BR has a lot of downtime

[nova sorrel]

Whats ur sens?

[nova sorrel]

That is true, its not that hard once i think abt it now

[granite grove]

Currently 41cm/360

[nova sorrel]

but im trying learn how to ras strafes n lurches, but ras strafes r better now

js practicing lurches

[rose wraith]

Trios

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 1.2672

[granite grove]

As in regular battle royales? I figured mixtape would be more constant action and would be better to get used to basic mechanics

[nova sorrel]

I was gonna try n say lowering ur sens but its not incredibly high

[nova sorrel]

I agree w coach ben cuz mix tape is essentialy like practice

if ur doing good in practice but not in game then it would be better to practice the game itself right?

[bright slate]

just practice in ranked

[nova sorrel]

or that

[granite grove]

I’m not doing good in mixtape either lmao

Keep in mind I’m brand spanking new to the game, so even things like not dead sliding are a conscious effort. I’ll just keep putting the hours in

[rose wraith]

No

The most crucial part of the game play loop is stabilization

Heal whites and blues

And the shield swap

You don’t get to practice that really makes it so it makes bad practice

[bright slate]

r5 has shield swap trainer i believe

[empty thistle]

Jade palace ground is 90% of what you need imo

[empty thistle]

Why are we choosing pgti to get nova on 😭

[wintry cypress]

Im not choosing bro its just my daily routine

[empty thistle]

So the pgti life chose you

[severe canyon]

Get hammered and you won’t be nervous

https://tenor.com/view/trailer-park-boys-chug-gif-24821000

[empty thistle]

If you accept you’re shit no reason to get nervous

Nerves come from placing an expectation on yourself

[wintry cypress]

Nah not rly

My smoothbot is also almost nova

And my ground plaza as well

[severe canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/jim-lahey-liquor-talking-trailer-park-boys-drunk-gif-8836882

[empty thistle]

I haven’t played pgti since Jade

[rose wraith]

Best thing you can do is practice hand memory drills then

Sec

@granite grove

These drills are simple but can become challenging by doing all the tasks consecutively very quickly

Practice easy step one at a time and take your time with a focus on clean reps and no misinputs and just add speed over time

[river steeple]

after 3 years

i am finally masters

i can rest now

[rancid slate]

big gz

[empty thistle]

Time for pred grind

[rose wraith]

Your RP every time you get less than a 5th place finish with 10 kills

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-krusty-krab-meme-gif-8802740138270146646

[slate sedge]

When does aim training actually show in game? I swear I just have days I hit shots at 90% and days where I’m 20%. I can’t figure out a fucking sens that works for me. I try between 35-43. Sometimes a higher 30

It’s so frustrating

[tight totem]

the better you are the more consistent you will be

[wintry cypress]

^

switching sens also doesnt help with consistency

[slate sedge]

Yeah I feel like I get a lot of pushback in voltaic mentioning sense. Like how do I find what works for me if I have no clue how to find it

[wintry cypress]

id say just stick to something thats like a middleground sens and stick to it for a couple months

or just find something you like

in general

like maybe u prefer a super fast sens or really slow

[nova sorrel]

What do u do for apex

Ahh, I see

Alr

[outer sleet]

I always feel like people think about sensitivity backwards. I'd say its not about finding what works for you but adopting to a wider range of sensitivities

So depending on the game / situation / playstyle you are going for you can pick something that compliments it well

Obviously for apex a higher sens in general is ideal but it really depends on a lot of things

[nova sorrel]

My apex is so laggy

[empty thistle]

why does no one reccomend thin aiming long anymore

such a good scen

[ocean flame]

its a classic

great scen]

nobody gives good advice anymore

an age full of charlatons

[empty thistle]

was trying to rack my brain for what to play when @rose wraith said my follow through after initial speed match sucks

then I remembered @novel loom's old playlist

exactly what I needed I think

anyone got advice for cracking top 1000

[empty thistle]

found my limit for sure

[nova sorrel]

I fucking hate ME servers

Half the map lands on lotus, 5 squads left by round 3 and I have to 1v3 every fight

[tight totem]

time to get diamond

[nova sorrel]

Yes same

[wintry cypress]

I just do centering 2 180 no strafes

[toxic crown]

anyone for warmup 1v1s eu?

[mental ridge]

gimme 5 mins

[mental ridge]

im there now you still alive ?

[nova sorrel]

What r the best load outs rn

[mental ridge]

for what

[atomic plover]

@shell shore

[nova sorrel]

Apex

Ranked

[mental ridge]

well for midrange people love the nemesis

r301 can be good too

i like my wingman but im a pony

some run tripple take with good effect

[nova sorrel]

I’ve been running r9 r301 every game

[mental ridge]

close
r99
alternator
mozambique
is good

[nova sorrel]

For some reason Ijs don’t like alternator

Even w double tap

[mental ridge]

can you oneclip people with the r99 reliably or do you run out of bullets often

[mental ridge]

double tap is so niche i dont like it

[nova sorrel]

I can one clip most of the time, or like atleast half hp but ii play octane so i js run around them when i reload

[mental ridge]

well the alternanor shines when u are good at strafing and often time take long exposure fights

[mental ridge]

half hp isnt oneclip

im talking about oneclipping full hp enemies

since the alternator doesnt have too bad dps its huge mag can win you fights by just oneclipping enemies without ever needing to reload or swap weapons

[nova sorrel]

Yea ik, I can one clip a lot of the times

But if I don’t, it’s atleast half hp

[mental ridge]

what about your r301 can u oneclip people at longer ranges or atleast make them really low

[nova sorrel]

If it’s really long, I sometimes only get 70-80 ish hp

But mid range I can do pretty consistently

[mental ridge]

im talking about ranges where the r99 becomes a meme to shoot at

[nova sorrel]

Yea most of the time yes

r301 is prob my best ar

[mental ridge]

well if your statements are true your problem doesnt lie in your weapon choice

its probably mostly down to decision making and gamesense

[nova sorrel]

I didn’t say there was anything wrong w my weapons I js wanted to know what ppl were running

[mental ridge]

well it sounded like you wanted to figure out if your weapons hold you back

[nova sorrel]

No not really lol

I js haven’t played in a couple seasons

I wanted to know if the marksman meta was still there

[mental ridge]

thankfully the g7 is in the cdarepackage and th repeater and bow are not overpowering

[nova sorrel]

Thank god, honestly

I HATED all of them

[mental ridge]

its so boring

[mental ridge]

same

[nova sorrel]

Getting 2 tapped by repeated was NOT fun

*repeater

[mental ridge]

u peak and get hit hard from 200m away

[nova sorrel]

Exactly it was so irritating

[mental ridge]

its boring

[nova sorrel]

That aswell

[river steeple]

i think now i hit masters on controller

i want to switch to mnk

and do it on there

[river steeple]

are you an aim coach or just a game coach

[rose wraith]

i instruct several titles including apex/tacfps/ssbu/hero shooters

[river steeple]

Can i dm you?

[nova sorrel]

yo Mr. Tom is question daddy goat coach ben

[keen scarab]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G38FqSr7WWw

kinda rough tracking for celestial

[empty thistle]

I mean he’s only celestial snake track

Nova s4 air, gm otherwise

[keen scarab]

fair

goes to show how little pure mouse control can take you though

obviously everyone knows you need more, but it's interesting to see someone with only mouse control play apex

[empty thistle]

I mean he was masters controller

He probably has some reading too etc

Lot of apex past gm level is reading ability tho not raw mouse control

Which would be reactive and control not smoothness

[devout tusk]

playing smoothbot for 2000 hours on 80cm isnt mouse control

[keen scarab]

he's gm in everything else though

and none of it shows

diamond 4 kbm aim

[ocean flame]

why does ea app run apex far worse than steam

takes much longer to open

and crashing issues and stuff

[empty thistle]

I think he’s better than that tbf

Looks about right for a master - gm player that hasn’t played that much apex

Have you seen d4 Kbms 😭

They’re hitting 70dmg in a purple mag

Brand new mnk player shows the rollers whose boss /s

[keen scarab]

maybe not diamond 4 this season

he's actually pretty shaky in the video though

[devout tusk]

i didnt feel aim training helping too much past a certain point in apex until i was getting nova air consistently/near astra

the game is mostly reading imo

[keen scarab]

yea i agree

[empty thistle]

Reading issue and weapon handling probably

[rose wraith]

finally

this shit makes sense

[mental ridge]

yea air is quite good since many engagements arent on level ground

@empty thistle i think i figured out why youre wrong about air

i remember atleast once where u missed due to vertical changes specifically

[hushed cipher]

Im so happy rn

its wildcard so kinda meh but 4k is 4k

[elder kayak]

U should try new mode you can get 50k easily

[elder kayak]

How to improve reading in apex?

[outer sleet]

I run havoc / flatline + pk, r9, alternator, re

Also can anyone give me advice on how I could get my friends to coordinate in game? I have so little experience 3 stacking and frankly I suck at it

And this goes for them as well

Like I watched back some of our games and we looked like 3 solo nofill players on a team it was so bad

And this happens a lot when I 3 stack with other people too

Duo que is fine its a lot more manageable for me idk

[outer sleet]

Poor phrasing right there but whatever

[elder kayak]

this is what happen when you solo q for very long time 🤣

[nova sorrel]

U js need to have a plan together

if ur pushing, ask for them to push with u

if u wanna camp building js comm that aswell

i think its js basic communication and being able to listen to their comms aswell

[outer sleet]

Ye well our comms were horrible for sure

But its more micro than macro. Our fights sucked but I made most of the macro decisions anyway so we managed to at least rotate together and stuff

I got a few ideas obv I just wanted to see if you guys had any practical advice

[empty thistle]

I mean it’s still important to be well rounded

910 gpsv3 would still take you very far tho imo

[mental ridge]

the problem i see with plaza is that you can shoot everywhere on the pill but in game you wanna focus the chest area

since leg shots are a thing also headshots a kinda bad in apex because on flesh they make the head wiggle arround

[empty thistle]

I mean the vertical part of plaza isn’t that difficult

Its height just makes reading easier

Just plat down humanoid scens too

[wintry cypress]

i mean its not like movement is gonna make you feel much faster i dont think

will just allow you to pull off evasive maneuvers i guess

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/907484009360162846/1483628830429286482/Apex_Legends_2026.03.18_-_00.40.19.69.Dvr-00.01.40.938-00.01.55.023.mp4?ex=69bbf145&is=69ba9fc5&hm=0c19cd3112a4dd110e3d83fa379fbee01528b1f1a49d98460536b1266e51e301&

who wins, rev with a pk and half of his ult health left or a gibby that still has to reload his R3

nvm he had like 10hp in his ult

[devout tusk]

play more, pay attention to feeling just feel the game bro

the game hurts sometimes 😔

but othertimes its suckin u dry

[wintry cypress]

if u want something thats more constant do octane

just press q and go zoom

[empty thistle]

Still on a gibby 😭

[wintry cypress]

I STILL HAVENT GOTTEN MY 4K 😭

bro im like a fucking bullet sponge on this character

everyone just targets you its terrible

ive gotten 3.8k like twice now on this character

mad annoying

[placid root]

Idk, man. I saw some gibby player a couple days ago, and he actually shit on me.

[empty thistle]

Ye I don’t think I’ve ever played him nor do I want to haha

You got it soon then

Just one lucky game

[wintry cypress]

i guess

[wintry cypress]

i mean im not doing bad on him but i do notice that people just hit way more shots on me

and in some cases even target me

[empty thistle]

I’ve been working on my smoothness btw

I think centering is what I need, if this doesn’t fix it back to the drawing board 😭

[placid root]

I shouldn't have ever ordered the CR-005

this thing is terrible

straight up

copped an SP-005 now

[placid root]

my desk is literally better than the pad

[empty thistle]

How is glass?

[placid root]

I had used the Skypad 2.0 since 2022

[empty thistle]

Im finally able to control rhe raiden now

[placid root]

so I'd say end-game

[empty thistle]

Glass might be next step

[placid root]

Not having to wash a cloth pad every 2 weeks, and having it wear down anyway

is goated

[empty thistle]

Ye I’m tempted it’s just the issue of needling a sleeve idk if I’ll like

[placid root]

You get used to it. Most of the time, I only realize I've got an arm sleeve on, when I'm washing my hands 😭

[wintry cypress]

i dont even wear a sleeve on my glasspad

just a long sleeved shirt/sweater/hoodie

[royal schooner]

wouldnt a sleeve be better overall.

[wintry cypress]

no clue but im not missing it

[tight totem]

you dont even need need a sleeve

theres plenty of times when i use my glasspad wihtout a sleeve

[wintry cypress]

same just a long sleeved clothing piece does the job for me

[tight totem]

that works too but im talking about rawdogging against the skin

maybe if it was summer id have issues but rn for example im fine

its not "THE" glass experience sure but it works

[bright slate]

i just dont shower

so the natural oils on my arm make for a nice glide

[placid root]

I have the sweatiest hands out of anyone here, so I always have issues with my skin basically sticking the pad like a vacuum

[bright slate]

just your hands?

could get those drawing gloves

[placid root]

not just my hands

The skin sticks like tape on glass 😭

[bright slate]

i never really have that issue

unless i went for a run in 30c

[empty thistle]

who else wants to play this cancer scen with me

[wintry cypress]

Nah that doesnt work for me

My skin is too sticky

I cant even do skin on pad for a cloth mousepad lol

[devout tusk]

does the palm of your hand touch the glass

[tight totem]

part of it

the bottom part?

[haughty bay]

25h on kovaaks I play apex mainly

Any benchmark I should play beside viscose and VT

[rancid slate]

jade palace. Although it's a bit harder, would recommend sticking to VT / Viscose if you are below plat

[haughty bay]

I’m still doing the beginner mode so I will stick to that for now then

Thanks for replying

[flint fractal]

hi guys, i got a questions, what do yall think of fingertip grip on 30cm

is fingertip grip suitable for high sens ?

or fingertip grip is more suitable for low sens

i find it really hard to control with finger 30cm. is it worth to train with finger high sens or just stick to claw

[devout tusk]

u need lotion bruh

dry hands mf

[elder kayak]

me

but how do i play with u 🤔

[tight totem]

any d4s

or plats

idc

[empty thistle]

Just add me on steam and we can try to snipe each other

[elder kayak]

Okay wait

918365501

My steam code

@empty thistle

[mental ridge]

lf 1vs1

[empty thistle]

Will add you when I’m home

3 hours of reactive yesterday was a mistake

Everything hurts

[empty thistle]

Really pushes your intital adjustment and instant speed match to the limit 😂

Bit of a troll scen but it’s also useful for me

But I’m also top 400-500 in the easier ones

I’m pushing for top 100 on the main ones so I play Initiate, nova and easy or normal each day

Nah there’s smooth thin strafes rasp and rasp easy

Both are benches in Jade palace

The nova one really helps me get the idea of a insta wrist and finger tip speed match down

Just play whatever interests you

They will all help each other

It’s a long journey

I never play vt personally

I just play jade palace and some viscose

[wintry cypress]

I always play a couple vt s3 scens for my routine

[empty thistle]

My s5 ground is still plat 🥀

I haven’t touched it since release day

Cerulean complete is like masters vt

Roughly

Personally I find viscose way better than vt for apex

[tight totem]

WHAT

damn

[empty thistle]

Maybe like dia

It’s in intermediate

Yeah no point you playing smooth thin rn rly except maybe initiate

Get to diamond first

[grave moat]

any good apex playlists?

[elder kayak]

ok

[elder kayak]

@empty thistle yo im almost there

[final forge]

Why would you think its not, some players switch to fingertip for fine adjustments

[empty thistle]

only 5% accuracy off!

[keen scarab]

actually? i thought it was like jade

[empty thistle]

complete yes

base rank like mid jade

[ocean flame]

Complete waffle

[elder kayak]

Yeah

After 5th try

[empty thistle]

schwarz score mogs everyone thats played it lol

[bright slate]

mira has some

idk how good they are

[empty thistle]

High key just play viscose control tracking and jade palace reactive

Maybe some centering too

[empty thistle]

Just play what’s fun and is vaguely useful

Journey to good aim takes hundreds if not thousands of hours

https://youtu.be/HvTz2VKT-FI?si=XeBPPboygbkZ12KJ

https://youtu.be/AkMdPloIVZI?si=EEb1S2MlmWLsWiI-

you can see some of my clips there and I don’t really play clicking or ts at all

Obviously my aim isn’t that good but I think it shows ts and clicking aren’t that needed

I think I’m cerulean clicking / ts apart from a few scens

Reactive and smoothness is probably around indigo if I pushed it

[ocean flame]

You should forget about aim

Your biggest problems are by far peek habits strafing and other fight iq

Every clip in both of those vids are you playing passively and only focusing on aiming

Play confidently and proactively and take 1v1s where you have more momentum and better angles than the enemy

And try not to anti mirror all the time it will just give an automatic win to any decent controller player

[empty thistle]

I mean they’re aim clips they’re going to be? 😭

It’s not going to be clips of me team shooting people like most fights should be ingame

I’ll admit my issue is mostly decision making but that’s the same for anyone in masters really

My stats could be better for sure but I’m fairly happy considering these were from first 2 weeks of the split

[ocean flame]

No

Im not talking about playing with the team or anything

Just how to take that 1v1 better

You can also aim while doing the right strafe and while positioning around the right angle

[bright slate]

How can I improve playing behind cover

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 1.2370

Your sensitivity is 2.4740

[severe canyon]

Play behind it when you see it?

[tight totem]

think about it and then do it and then repeat it

[mental ridge]

get angry at yourself when ever u die because u didnt use it

[placid root]

can I play the game? :)

[keen scarab]

[placid root]

my cheats

(it's the gamemode thing )

istg japanese in apex are breed different

one day they will be good at apex

[bright slate]

probably not

the entire server is riddled with cheaters

looks like you haven't played new mode yet

[bright slate]

ive played maybe 200 games since s16

[elder kayak]

lol 😭

[glacial meteor]

I’m trying to play an extremely high sens on 1600 preferably around 2.5 and up any suggestions?? I’m not gonna lower it bc I feel the most consistent and comfortable on high

[tight totem]

2,5

[frozen narwhal]

Your sensitivity is 10.3909 cm/360°

[outer sleet]

Yo anyone wants to play apex later?

I need someone to talk to while I play I might lose my mind otherwise

You think so?

[glacial meteor]

Also what’s an aim trainer I should try that’s fun yk?

[dawn bloom]

Apex needs to be revived

Love this game

[dawn bloom]

What type

Aimbeast if u got money

Good aim trainer for everything

[glacial meteor]

I was boutta say bro I’m dead ass a bitch when it comes to headaches

[dawn bloom]

Lmfaooo

[glacial meteor]

I don’t ever get sick tho so it’s a win win

[dawn bloom]

Autocorrect be fuckin me

[glacial meteor]

Lmaoo shi real asl

[dawn bloom]

And it's onsale too

Worth putting in hours on

[glacial meteor]

What you think about aim labs

[dawn bloom]

If not just grind the game

It's a good free aim trainer

Just i wouldn't personally use it because i have better options

[glacial meteor]

I have ts but idk what to use

[dawn bloom]

But if you care about getting better aimbeast and kovaaks

[dawn bloom]

A bunch of good youtube vids up

You can always look and create a playlist

[glacial meteor]

Kov is hella crazy I heatd

Heard*

You got TikTok bro?

Wanna do me a solid? There’s a homie by the name of potzz I’m trynna move/aim like him. You got anyway to achieve that?

He’s lowkey cracked asl but IDK how he do it

[nova sorrel]

For games like apex n overwatch, is switching as important compared to tracking?

If I work on my tracking more

Would that be enough?

[empty thistle]

It’s somewhat useful

But you can go far without it

After Jade I’d heavily prioritise trading up until mid gm

[nova sorrel]

Alr

[rose wraith]

Comparing ain’t it

Become jade complete before considering any specialty work

You benefit a lot from learning flick control from clicking and the flick / track transition from switching

[mental ridge]

up to jade?

[shrewd yoke]

complete jade

[worn anvil]

Jade’s a really solid spot for foundations depending on how you get there, although you can punch really high with training bad technique / habits even seen gm’s with bad pathing for example

[rose wraith]

Arbitrary

[worn anvil]

So if u get there by learning new skills and optimizing them without too much grindy-ness it’s great

[rose wraith]

I’ve seen bad technique up to like nova

Jade complete is a good balance

[worn anvil]

I didn’t want to poke any ego’s sooo

[rose wraith]

At a minimum don’t just be a tracking chad and be like gold elsewhere

The skills do overlap

[worn anvil]

cough corporate serf cough

[mental ridge]

well if i wanna get there without grinding i need real coaching

[final forge]

im not even gold complete, I feel bad now

[worn anvil]

Or alot of hard thinking and watching videos

It’s pretty easy to figure out all the things on your own, it just takes alot of mental effort over time

Stick to mattyow videos and review sessions tho, and take everything as something to use either everywhere or nowhere. There are too many hit or miss from other big aimers that leave bad impressions or are unclear

[empty thistle]

Stop insulting me brother

[mental ridge]

same brother

wildcard audio is so bad

yeah, this guy is boosting btw^

[keen scarab]

when will the split 2 patch notes come out

[mental ridge]

maybe today

[elder kayak]

Oh no i haven't completed bp missions

[keen scarab]

yea the event trailer just dropped

[keen scarab]

New Passive - Momentum Boost
If Gibraltar maintains sprint speed for a couple of seconds he will get a speed boost.

https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/apex-legends/news/aftershock-event

[keen scarab]

weird way to buff wraith imo, her passive still sucks

[wintry cypress]

Sick, maybe now i can get my 4k on him

[placid root]

fuck

wrong message

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2729260000?t=00h32m57s

how do they lose this 😭

[rose wraith]

big wraith buffs and improvements to graphics 👍

a massive octane buff he didn't need 👎

[keen scarab]

agreed

i didn’t even read the patch notes closely to realize octane can now heal and double jump off the pad

honestly though i wish they just gave wraith a whole new passive and a faster tac windup

her new purple perk sounds cool but if you take then you lose out on the faster tac windup

[keen scarab]

i don’t like that they might have killed bubble fights too

[devout tusk]

gibby buffs he didnt need 👎

[bright slate]

he does..

has he even been meta since maggie came out

[willow hill]

Thoughts on new hemlock?

Mix between rampage and flatline in base form?

[keen scarab]

sounds strong but we'll have to see

[devout tusk]

good bro

movement gibby and electrical dome are boutta be aids

[keen scarab]

genuinely who thought that passive was a good idea

can't wait for him to run faster away from me than octane because he can't get slowed by bullets either

while wraith and loba don't have a passive

[devout tusk]

i cant believe fortified still does that after 7 years

[keen scarab]

yea at this point it needs to go to all legends

if the fortified legends are just going to have the best abilities in the game

i wonder if wattson's purple perk and gibby's blue perk will stack on wattson

[outer sleet]

You forget the support meta

[bright slate]

ig

[willow hill]

Ayee I think I seen you on killfeed recently

Did you play yesterday?

[empty thistle]

Not yesterday but day before

Might’ve been me I don’t think it’s that common of a name

[blissful sail]

these patch notes restarted

time to abuse gibby with mastiff and shock dome

will always be a 2v3 in a fight unless they have maggie ult in ranked

[keen scarab]

fr

[rose wraith]

Triple jump*

What a ridiculous buff he didn’t need

[keen scarab]

indeed, i was hoping for a small nerf as well

he's fun to play but he's everywhere now

[empty thistle]

Clearly not played enough

He must reach prime ash numbers

[keen scarab]

that's why he needs fortified back on stim surge

that got him pretty close

[empty thistle]

I think I found the issue

He needs permanent fortified

[blissful sail]

devs are braindead

they try to cater to both parties and fuck over both

no one is happy

casuals want content and a large amount of it like og fornite had but thats not doable in a healthy matter

because these publishers can't legally whip the devs and give them stimulants

but they can shame them to do better

[willow hill]

I think they’re doing a chill job tbh

Think the cheater stuff needs to be solved

And I think pred lobbies should not be 3 stackable

And id be chilling personally

[blissful sail]

every patch they do makes the comp players wonder what the people in the head offices in LA were smoking

shit was laced with fent

and the changes they do don't really effect ranked or other modes

[willow hill]

Idk how much this is gonna change for preds

In ranked tbh

I think they still run octane alter and prob bang/conduit still

[blissful sail]

ranked and comp are 2 different games at this point

you play them completely differently

[willow hill]

That’s on me bro I thought you just meant players who took it seriously

Like “competitive” type of guys

You meant actual pros and shit

That’s mb boss

Oh yeah these changes gonna fuck that shit up heavily

[blissful sail]

i mean there is no comp unless you go play scrims that has elo and is the clossest you can get to actual ranked or competitve mode

ranked in game is just pubs with a shitty looking badge top right and random poi dropship

[willow hill]

Got you

[keen scarab]

part of it is the nature of battle royales unfortunately, but there is more that can be done for sure

[blissful sail]

nah you can make it good but there are a lot of shit players with inflated egos

that if you put them in the right rank and where they belong they would be mad

season 13 had consequences for inting and dying placement was what mattered

[willow hill]

Oh yeah that’s a great point

This game ranking up feels wayyy too easy until you hit a high enough spot

Where it feels like you can’t do shit about it

[blissful sail]

look at the games ranked statistics they are dog shit

[willow hill]

It’s like super easy to get diamond

[keen scarab]

that would be much better, but there would be less players playing and probably preds with golds like that season too

[blissful sail]

they do not look like how any normal game has ranks

[willow hill]

But really really hard to get masters +

[keen scarab]

they should have weekly tournies like fortnite

[willow hill]

Atleast for me

[keen scarab]

and you need to be a certain rank to play

[blissful sail]

too many cheaters in apex they are lazy bums

hideouts bought his first dma card last year and detected it

publishers want to be fortnite but no one can ever be it and its not healthy

that shit was a one and done situation

[empty thistle]

when they refuse to shoot you 1v3

maggie ball'd aswell but thats not there for some reasojn

[rose wraith]

[empty thistle]

ximming or legit?

[rancid slate]

Looks like xim imo. The slow down on the spray transfer was odd.

[empty thistle]

ye I havent seen a single top kovaaks player have transitions from flick to track be that smooth

he has 0 shake

top kovaaks runs nearly always have a tiny bit of shake in the micro transition to speed match

[elder kayak]

does anyone know why my mouse and keyboard randomly disconnect and reconnect?

[final forge]

Specating is always extremely smooth

[final forge]

No it does not. Xim is pretty much indistinguishable from regular controller gameplay and this clearly is not controller

Aw hell na

[final forge]

Less players playing? Where do you get the idea such a staement would be true? The majority of the lol playerbase is stuck in platinum or lower and they still play

[keen scarab]

less people tend to play if they cannot reach the rank they think they deserve, why else would they remove the dropship?

and even league pros think that ranked will never be truly competitive or like pro play

[willow hill]

Idk if we need ranked to feel like pro play lol

I just need to not be getting 3 stacked against

By pro players

When I’m not that level

[bright slate]

wont happen

elo based mm is the only wa

y

[final forge]

No but it could be more competetive

[willow hill]

I was replying to his comment about pros not thinking ranked will be like pro play

It don’t need to be like pro play

I don’t think anyone wants that

That is beyond boring

The game has a matchmaking problem IMO

At the higher end..

[final forge]

Tbh its probably one of the biggest misconception that its boring. Pro play is literally the best way to have fun zero downtime constant action

[willow hill]

Zero downtime?

That’s kind of a stretch

[final forge]

Well yes pretty much anything you do is important you habe to be constantly on the edge, only in rare cases you can afford to relax and do nothing

[willow hill]

Yeah… I’m not sure if pro play environment is something that I’d be willing to constantly play

I just want to not get 3 stacked on

By preds

When im diamond lol

Solo queuing

For me personally… they can keep the matchmaking the same but not allow 3 attacking

Stacking*

Solo queue if you’re pred

MAYBE duo

So at the very least you can play off the fact that every team has a weaker link

[final forge]

Thats pretty much what most higher skilled players want and what most other games do

[glossy talon]

LOLLLL I GOT A CHEATER BANNED

first thing i see after updaing

[bright slate]

ehhh

wont really help soloq players and lower ranked players

also the general population of gaming just doesnt care about being competitive anymore

good players get dunked for caring even the slightest bit

[final forge]

no thats a diffrent issue

[fallen apex]

I’m trying to have a 1:1 ads sens with my hip fire sensitivity but when I put 1.0 as my ads sensitivity multiplier it makes it slower does anyone know how to fix this?

Or maybe the right ads multiplier number

[devout tusk]

apex jscalc

[lapis hollow]

1.33 something zero does it

does anyone know what gun would a good mirror for the new hemlock in R5?

[final forge]

Depends on the fov you play but i would not recommend use jscalc or mouse-sensitivity to calculate the proper values

[devout tusk]

just use default

for 1x imo

feel out the others

[bright slate]

1.1 for 1-4 🧘‍♂️

[placid root]

[wintry cypress]

I fear the hemlok is a tad good.......

[bright slate]

always been good..

[hexed inlet]

this gun is now very silly

[keen scarab]

unfortunately it fires too slow to be fun to use

[hexed inlet]

you'll learn one day lil gup

[nova sorrel]

New hemlock is amazing

[blissful sail]

yes because apex rank system is just pubs

there is no ranked system its pubs with random drops

this is like playing cs and you're a gold nova fighting DONK

this is like a high school basketball game and you have to randomly fight the LA lakers

comp games do well when there is actual competition

when people of similar skill are put in a lobby in apex there is nothing of the sort

[mental ridge]

yes because devs neglected mnk players and all thats left are spoiled roller players that are only willing to put in the minimum of effort to be good

[blissful sail]

that is true console gaming and console culture is a cancer

[mental ridge]

NOT JUST CONSOLE ALSO PC CONTROLLERS

[outer sleet]

W update bro

Like they just straight up removed bubble fighting from gibby

I swear they just keep slowly removing every form of skill expression within the game bro

Only thing is they should've made the wattson fences do maybe 50 damage to make it aligned with gibby dome

[placid root]

Had 23k crafting mats, so went for it

[rose wraith]

gibby still gets to do it!

[outer sleet]

Poor phrasing but you get the point

[rose wraith]

Watson is also terrifying

I saw a predator Gibby earlier doing octane bunny hopping with Mozambique and just aping people. It was hilarious.

[wintry cypress]

i gotta try gilbert with the new update

that sounds hilarious

[rose wraith]

If you take the shotgun perk, you get his sprinting speed bonus

🙂

[wintry cypress]

ah

[empty thistle]

Teamfights in diamond are so weird rn

Bubble fights are flipped on their head with the emp

[rose wraith]

Thunderdome is fucking broken

Gibraltar is back for real

If you don’t have all three of you ready to push it, you just are so screwed

[empty thistle]

It’s also just who bubbles last I feel like rn

You bubble to push

They bubble to counter in your bubble

And you’re just

[mental ridge]

the other one is better

[mental ridge]

because if the enemies have any advantages they just insta send the bubble cause only 1 gets stunned

[empty thistle]

skill issue apparently

[severe canyon]

gibbys hitbox is apparently a pepperami

good stuff

[mental ridge]

i saw that ingame and i was like why is this special needs gibby jumping into the bubble 1hb

[mental ridge]

was it your alter that i 198?

or enemy team

[empty thistle]

Idk

[empty thistle]

I had no heals

Well I had the cells but that was it

Thought I could stop the redz and get him low

Meanwhile 2 no regs

[thorn swallow]

how much for the saber if i have 5 packs already? any1 know?

[placid sphinx]

How helpful is playhing r5 reloaded 1v1s if im a newer player?

[willow hill]

huge

[rose wraith]

but also

apexrecoilstrafes . com or whatever it is

mca-8 auto balanced fast strafes in kovaaks

will give you all you need to learn the basics for lazy beams and reading short strafes

[rose wraith]

I dislike how aim training makes me so picky when it comes to clips

[empty thistle]

Still a very nice cli

Better than anything I’ve hit all day

[outer sleet]

Nahh bro I'm actually so pissed we finally had a fun meta

And now its just no recoil hemlok beaming across the map

With skilless legends running around

Like tf are you supposed to do against the thunder dome in a 1v1

Whatever I guess I'll have to see for myself haven't had the time to play it yet maybe its not that bad

[rose wraith]

this patch is even better than last patch

i'm having a great time

shooting the breach projectile while doing octane pad to approach is hella awesome

[outer sleet]

I'll give it a shot idk

[empty thistle]

Gibby meta is hela fun imo

So much more interesting than octane

You’ve got bubble mind games on whose gonna bubble first

Fights in buildings are more interesting

[empty thistle]

Play Maggie

[outer sleet]

I mean I hate maggie with a passion

[empty thistle]

Maggies fun but turns out I’m a bad Maggie so I’ve been playing gibby today

Super easy to pickup

[outer sleet]

Ngl its maybe my most hated legend after wattson

[empty thistle]

I gained 1100 in 4 hours today as gibby

Mid d3 now

[outer sleet]

Wp

[empty thistle]

He’s pretty fun cuz he can run super fast on rotates

[outer sleet]

I think I'll stick to playing wraith I feel like its my best legend

[empty thistle]

I mean she’s meta this season

I still think alter is better tho

[outer sleet]

Fairs

[empty thistle]

My stack played wraith day 1

We still managed to gain pretty well but I think alter just does everything she does but better for most part

[outer sleet]

Well I'll prolly be solo / duo queing

[empty thistle]

Gl solider

[outer sleet]

No stacks for me :/

[empty thistle]

I never wanna not stack again

[outer sleet]

Ty

[empty thistle]

You meet the most good players getting Smurfs to masters late split in my experience

Everyone good already has a stack early split for most part

When I soloq/duoq’d I just played valk to ult out whenever fights went terribly + you get the free rotates / map knowledge with uav and ult

[elder kayak]

wait auto hemlock

[rose wraith]

its fun

[elder kayak]

now whats the point of flatline

[rose wraith]

no

its fun

[elder kayak]

ya lol

looks cool

[keen scarab]

caustic?

[outer sleet]

Nahh caustic is chill

At least caustic players know how toxic and cringe and annoying they are and they choose to play that way

I can respect that

Wattson players on the other hand think they are good

[keen scarab]

i see

for some reason, the most toxic teammates i’ve had in solo q are mirage players

loba players too, for some reason most of the toxicity comes from support players ironically enough

[devout tusk]

2026 wattson still has medium character viewhieght while being a short character

[willow hill]

I haven’t gotten too high rank yet (just got back into diamond lobbies) but it seems pretty pleasant so far

I hate when metas are things like octane/ballistic with his ult/ash.. just super high, unfaceable movement

So to me this is a lot better…

It feels a little more strategic when you try to capitalize on advantages you created

[nova sorrel]

I feel like apex could use another rank after diamond

[empty thistle]

Tbf if you count 16-17k masters as its own rank it kinda does

I think only like 10% of masters get above 17k

[bright slate]

bottom 25% of masters players are just diamonds

[outer sleet]

Damn how long until someone gets good at the game lol

Like what do you have to achieve to be good at this game cause you guys be talking down pred players too sometimes

[empty thistle]

Perspective blindness, if you don’t consider yourself that good, everyone worse than you will just be bad

You play with hardstuck 16k masters that are trolling half your games you’re gonna view them as dog shit

But obviously objectively they’re not

[bright slate]

comparing to the average player isnt a good metric of skill imo

the average player is horrible and has no clue whats going on

[empty thistle]

True but when you’re talking to most people they don’t view “not good” as “not top 1.5k in the world” or whatever it is

[bright slate]

its somewhat relative yeah

[outer sleet]

I see

[empty thistle]

You see it everywhere

Like worst player in the premier league will be called dog shit

But he’s still better than 99.9% of people will ever be

[nova sorrel]

So the ppl who hate on others r coping?

[empty thistle]

I’d say just don’t overthink it or put much value in “being good”

There’s always a bigger fish and a hundred things you could improve on

[nova sorrel]

Alr alr

I hate every single Caustic main, and I wish they nerfed him down to the ground again.

Yeah

800 2.0 max

Anything faster is ego unless u main streamer building as a solo Wattson gimmick streamer

[willow hill]

Sheeeesh shots fired?

The sens stuff has always been funny to me esp for apex because I know players tend to have it faster than other shooter games

But I cannot play at these numbers other people play at lol
