apex

[viscid wraith]

ye ye

[wet glade]

I do think it can still help but

what bothers me just as much as everyone else

is that some people just try their absolute hardest

to squeeze in highscores

to get a higher rank

without actually improving

[kind sandal]

Just play the game, fuck a kovaak

[charred plank]

what is the reason, you guys shaking or looking around before aiming?

[wet glade]

And that's fine if your goal is to

[magic juniper]

lmao

[wet glade]

have a higher rank and that's it

[magic juniper]

faide gamer

[plush burrow]

Guess who's back

Time to vaaks again

[magic juniper]

60hz vaaks?

[wet glade]

but ye it's defo not something you should be doing if you want to improve effectively

[plush burrow]

not anymore, congrats on diamond

[magic juniper]

[plush burrow]

in frag?

[magic juniper]

Lowkey I only made the run because I didn't do benches in like half a year

[livid cliff]

ye

[magic juniper]

Was like hmm, I bet my click timing is still gold

Tried gunning for Diamond Complete but my switching needs work

[charred plank]

damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[magic juniper]

kinTS

Legit did a few runs 1-2 hours ago and knew my limit

[charred plank]

its waste imo

[magic juniper]

Only thing I can think of is it's a habit from BR

Need to check everything, high apm starcraft gaming

@wet glade is that really common here still? I was assuming people were focused on, uh, doing better in-game

[charred plank]

very few players are doing that from pros

[magic juniper]

@charred plank yeah they shouldn't because teammates should be providing proper comms

[wet glade]

Most people are focused on doing better in-game

That's always going to be the case

[burnt stone]

Zamnnn

[wet glade]

But the people you see on this discord are also the ones that are more dedicated to aim training

[magic juniper]

Right

[wet glade]

so there's going to be more people grinding benchmarks

but people don't just grind benchmarks

[charred plank]

lou is doing that quick surronding check because he is crazy but, its just show imo

[wet glade]

even now people just grind individual scenarios

[plush burrow]

Grinding benchmarks give you a higher chance to get a score based on a lucky run

[wet glade]

well you do still improve

it's just not as efficient

but if you don't play the game your maining at all

it will be ineffective

[magic juniper]

how I got some Diamond scores tbh

[charred plank]

in my experience, i feel like, getting a score that I have aimed, always depended on how many times I played that scenario and understanding the trick of the scenario

[magic juniper]

I started to feel out when a run's rng was not good lmao

[viscid wraith]

playing the same thing day in day out over and over again in and of itself is also not the best way to provide improvement or immediate feedback on issues so theres always that aspect as well

[plush burrow]

Just means higher rng, still takes skill

[bright elm]

@plush burrow

[viscid wraith]

variety is good

[bright elm]

war veteran

[plush burrow]

[wet glade]

iirc hauntr played tons of the benchmarks stuff and he still improved from it

and also played ow

and he got good aim in both

[bright elm]

rose from the ashes of chernobyl

[charred plank]

@plush burrow get online, roller duo q time

[wet glade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyI_XF2U_Nw

[magic juniper]

I don't know anything about ow but I have this feeling if I played it a lot I'd be good at aiming

[bright elm]

hauntr aim

[plush burrow]

playing val 😄

[wet glade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X7jwCrmFq8

[viscid wraith]

ow is an amazing aim trainer by itself cause of workshop maps and repitition

lots of very cracked aimers came from years of ow

[wet glade]

The game itself is quite aim heavy yes

[bright elm]

u can def get good at aiming from ow

[wet glade]

just the impact of aim is low

cuz of overwatch

[viscid wraith]

MOBA

[bright elm]

ow taught me how to strafe aim correctly

god bless

[viscid wraith]

doOmFIsT 🤓

[bright elm]

boomfist

[magic juniper]

I was on Twitter recently and some dude got a Val guy good. "You'll flick more in 1 game of Mcree than you will in 3 val games."

[wet glade]

zac is also a great example of someone who improved tons from aim training

[bright elm]

zac's montages

[wet glade]

he didnt play much benchmarks, he mostly did scenarios that he thought were useful

like the air angelic 7 and stuff

[bright elm]

ain't no way someone said val requires more flicking

[plush burrow]

Quake was an aim trainer in it's self

[magic juniper]

Air Angelic 7

Bro slow down guys I'm on 3 with dog scores

[wet glade]

you can't compare tac fps with ow the way you aim in both is inherently different anyway

and also it doesn't matter

[bright elm]

yeah that's why i find it funny

[wet glade]

what's y'alls rank on apex

[odd fable]

d3

[ashen trench]

dont play ranked just a 5kdr warrior

xD

[magic juniper]

Bronze rn because I haven't played in 2 seasons

[plush burrow]

pred

[magic juniper]

I've solo'd to D4 twice

[pliant otter]

plat1 hardstuck rn

[wet glade]

damn

[magic juniper]

@plush burrow

[plush burrow]

its arenas so not as much as a flex sadly

[magic juniper]

Arenas

[plush burrow]

in br hardstuck masters

[odd fable]

isn't arenas just 90% roller players?

[plush burrow]

ofc

[odd fable]

makes sense ngl

[wet glade]

@chrome rampart one clips everyone

[plush burrow]

most 10k's can get predator

its literally just game sense and having a team

[wet glade]

tony

[magic juniper]

It recently came to my attention a decent amount of pro Val players are former ow pros

[odd fable]

got any tips for 10k?

[charred plank]

stay on 10k, its fun

[wet glade]

@spark void is insane at apex

[charred plank]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/592089496695078923/865292858088751124/image0.gif

[plush burrow]

10k you can grief without a care 😄

[magic juniper]

Imagine League of Legends with Apex rank system

[pliant otter]

@plush burrow also what's ur game plan are you more of an early kills player or live and pick fights player

[magic juniper]

Hit masters

can't demote

Insanity

[plush burrow]

Take torje for example, his aim is perfect but is still 10k. aim wise capable predator but needs more experience in ranked

[wet glade]

he hit pred already

then lost it again i think

[plush burrow]

He did, yesterday he was 10k though

[odd fable]

congrats. you've found a way to fuck up league even more

[charred plank]

hitting pred is not the thing but holding is the hard part 😦

[wet glade]

ye

[charred plank]

he is on the right track, he will get it soon

[wet glade]

you have to play so much tho

[charred plank]

he is making mistakes and learning from them

[magic juniper]

lowkey was trying to get Plat rewards this season but this 12h dodge timer is not it

[charred plank]

exactly, you need to have the similar situations thousands time

[plush burrow]

early kills, then try scan zone and play for last 3 teams

[magic juniper]

Riot EOMM is on full power

[charred plank]

@plush burrow https://medal.tv/games/apex-legends/clips/89rfZhM_gEupI/d1337yLh63ml?invite=cr-MSxiMVYsMTczNzg1NTgs got rolled

[magic juniper]

Last dodge at 2am today I got 3 players on 5+ loss streaks

We're not playing that

[wet glade]

you guys watch caprah / hiswattson?

[plush burrow]

octane hit the vaaks

[plush burrow]

yall got both of them on vt 😄

[wet glade]

they're menaces in ranked

[plush burrow]

both been #1 right

[wet glade]

was caprah rank 1 too?

i dont rmrm

[plush burrow]

I know watson was 100%, not sure about caprah

[odd fable]

wasn't wattson rank 1 at some point?

[plush burrow]

I know he was top10, feel like he might of hit top1 before idk

[charred plank]

watson yes, caprah no

[plush burrow]

watson held it for a whole split

[odd fable]

meanwhile i still can't hit 10k

[chrome rampart]

no i do not

[mighty brook]

va;ex was saying my movememnt was to hard to aima t

[chrome rampart]

i am bad player

[mighty brook]

so i sad atleast it wsnt you

cause it would be more than hard

but impsosibiblel

[wet glade]

ok

[charred plank]

last W.E

[chrome rampart]

if my clip did not lag in obs it would make me good player

[wet glade]

yeah that did kinda ruin the clip

[plush burrow]

Sad to see hollow go, dude would've went slayer mode if he grinded rank

[charred plank]

he was playing correctly for grind. staying out for RNG chaos fights, playing mostly crafting meds out of zone and winning at end zone.

[magic juniper]

What happened to Hollow?

[plush burrow]

hes not full time streaming anymore or playing full time

hes gonna focus on career or something now I believe

he just didnt want to do ranked, pubs wasnt good numbers tho

[magic juniper]

Oh that's good. Gaming as a job is not for everyone or consistent

[plush burrow]

pat deffo couldve done it, probably burn out or something

[wet glade]

love twitter quality

[plush burrow]

burn out is REAL

[mighty brook]

i cant see

[wet glade]

dw the actual game

is not far from that

[chrome rampart]

my game look slike htat

[wet glade]

apex is insane at putting clutter in your face

[forest nimbus]

unfortunately

personally i love the game

the issue is the format itself, and the way the game isn't user-friendly

[spark void]

tony mr 1 clip

[wet glade]

huekk

[magic juniper]

Apex so fun but we can't see anything

[spark void]

sini

[forest nimbus]

like

bro apex mobile has tdm

come on

[wet glade]

apek @spark void ?

@chrome rampart

[forest nimbus]

id grind tf out of tdm apex

[spark void]

after workout and shower yes

[forest nimbus]

imagine 3v3 killraces

[wet glade]

tdm is boring

[forest nimbus]

;-;

[wet glade]

just play tf2 northstar

[forest nimbus]

you know

you're right

but

im tired of br most of the time

actually

i might just go back to quake

[wet glade]

no

[forest nimbus]

@wet glade what's your highest br ranking

[wet glade]

do not

[forest nimbus]

uhhh

ok

mind if i ask why

[chrome rampart]

i am playing with other friends sadly

[kind sandal]

Hardstuck 10k best rank

[chrome rampart]

you missed me by about 2 minutes @wet glade

[plush burrow]

stop killing me in ranked lobbies

[wet glade]

😭

[kind sandal]

I pubstomper only

[wet glade]

i havent grinded rank

[plush burrow]

was 2 weeks ago I think

[wet glade]

i played some apex only this split

[chrome rampart]

we might have room for 1 if u want idk if @peak totem is awake

[forest nimbus]

nice

highest was masters for me

but that was a long long time ago

[plush burrow]

Play pubs when its WE/Olympus

[wet glade]

im diamond now, but didnt play much @forest nimbus

[plush burrow]

only good rotation

[forest nimbus]

nice!

[plush burrow]

Olympus a fire pubs map

[wet glade]

ye huekk is busy atm

im down to play

now

[plush burrow]

anyone else's favourite

not a tracking scenario but who cares

[forest nimbus]

what games you playing rn?

[wet glade]

only apex and tf2 northstar sometimes

[forest nimbus]

damn

[wet glade]

I play them on and off

[forest nimbus]

addictive source gameplay ;-;

[wet glade]

tf2 northstar kinda fun

[odd fable]

true

[forest nimbus]

how big is it?

[wet glade]

there's always active servers

[forest nimbus]

also, link?

[odd fable]

doesn't rly matter since the original ttf2 severs are unplayable

[forest nimbus]

you know

true

i mean it's this or like

[odd fable]

i'll get one 1 sec

[forest nimbus]

become a SWBF2 gAimer

or something

im at wit's end lmao

[odd fable]

https://github.com/R2Northstar/Northstar/releases

there are plenty of guides on how to install it and its pretty easy

[forest nimbus]

kk

[ember wagon]

bro this coulda been so cool why do i panic so much in the end and thrpw

[viscid wraith]

idk why do u

[ember wagon]

im trying to figure that out

[viscid wraith]

you say the same thing about every clip bro lol you gotta focus on fixing it

[forest nimbus]

yo tysm

[odd fable]

np bro

[ember wagon]

oke

[wet glade]

wtf you can

arc star through the corner of the door

cool

guys make sure to drink some water

[odd fable]

noted

[forest nimbus]

thanks sini

[viscid wraith]

would be awesome if respawn could make something that like

works

https://streamable.com/zgwxsz

the snapping on that portal is such a pain

[alpine trail]

yo what is a good way to improve at pgti apart from just spamming the normal scen

is 40% and 60% slower a good way to improve?

[wet glade]

if you struggle far too much with the normal scen

then doing an easier one might help

[burnt stone]

40% and 60% are goated

[wet glade]

so you can develop proper habits

[plush burrow]

vertical smoothness training is also goated

[burnt stone]

If you struggle with the verticality there are smoothness scenes for that

[burnt stone]

Exactly

[wet glade]

yeah

[plush burrow]

wont help with the arc but it'll train so much mouse control for pgti

[burnt stone]

But i think 40/60 is better for in game and helps with the movements

Than regular pgti

[alpine trail]

its like one of the last ones I need for diamond complete

[fluid ermine]

why is it when I hit the bong my anxiety in game shoots through the roof and I fumble, pretty beta

[plush burrow]

or come into firing range, track me on a horizen q

[alpine trail]

fucking pain in the dick tho

[plush burrow]

real tactics

[fluid ermine]

someone tell me the alpha ways of hitting bong and hitting all headies

[peak totem]

bimf

[wet glade]

wow

[spark void]

@peak totem wake up

[peak totem]

hey baby

[little verge]

Slower can be good, I found doing vertical smoothness training popcorn helped isolate the verticality, while b180Ti got me used to the diagonal movement and reactivity to direction changes. Sometimes breaking apart a more complex scenario into smaller chunks can help identify the problematic areas.

[alpine trail]

sick man appreciate the tips

[plush burrow]

haven't done static in a few months, tf

[magic juniper]

Needed to get on height and stay there longer to chase her down for the ez spray or pk tap

Had the crack there too

The arc through the door was cool

[kind sandal]

Gonna be so sad if they keep this new shit map for pubs in next season

Give me Worlds Edge + Olympus

I just stop playing whenever Storm Point is in the rotation

So fucking bad for pubs

[plush burrow]

the only pub maps I wanna see

[kind sandal]

Olympus best map for pubs

So much fun

[plush burrow]

Olympus is one hell of a refresher

[kind sandal]

Yeeeeeeee

I love it

[plush burrow]

colours, POI's, every spot has god loot

[kind sandal]

Waterfall is the only aids spot

[plush burrow]

WE is nice to hot drop, lobbies are stale after 5 mins though

[kind sandal]

But you can just fly on them/car

[plush burrow]

ps5 building also hektik if the dropship goes a certain way

or labs

nah its ps5 building for me

[odd fable]

Its gonna be olympus+third party canyon

[magic juniper]

Storm Point is actually pretty awful

Grav cannons are not a fun replacement for balloons

[odd fable]

Worst map in the game

[kind sandal]

Its fine for ranked but not for pubs

[kind sandal]

Yeah I dont mind KC for pubs

Better then SP

[odd fable]

Too big, trash poi's, prowlers, etc

And 1 only balloon

[alpine trail]

am I wasting time going for diamond complete before trying the advanced benchmarks? I would say I am above average at apex relatively new ish to aim training, but I place masters in each season and I solo q no fill a lot but I wanted to see how aim training could help my game in terms of improving how confident I am relying on my aim in fights

but I thought it would be better to just drop ego and start from square one

[viscid wraith]

imo once you hit a diamond score just move to the advanced tasks

no point grinding diamond complete

[plush burrow]

do it from diamond 1 if you want

you can prove it to your self if you wish, you can bring your overall skill to diamond complete but if you dont it dont really matter

imo some jade scores are easier than diamond

[alpine trail]

I just thought maybe if I worked up to diamond complete it would be a good confirmation that I have done something right and built good foundations

idk just what I thought made sense in my head you know?

I have a few more scores to iron out but then yeah I will definitely give them a shot

[viscid wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/voltaic-jade-voltaic-gif-24219962

i dont like to tie an arbitrary skill assignment to voltaic ranks, but i would say jade is when i think a good semblance of mouse control has been achieved

[plush burrow]

while going for jade, no harm in still going for diamond complete

[ember wagon]

thanks project

[plush burrow]

you keep diamond complete when applying for jade 1

[alpine trail]

yeah it wasn't really for a discord role it was more for personal progress but you are right no harm in doing both

[plush burrow]

I find going for complete more satisfying

but I did that whilst doing the advanced ones

to each there own tho

[alpine trail]

yeah I agree w you tbh

satisfying seeing all the scores fall into place

[ember wagon]

bloodhound skins are so baade

[alpine trail]

road warrior and halloween ones are cool

[little verge]

Yeah, I personally like completing before I moved onto the advanced, but obviously that also depends on the games you play. If you're mainly playing tac FPS and you're not diamond in tracking, that wouldn't be the worst thing for you.

[jaunty iron]

true

[gilded jacinth]

im tap strafing and need to move mouse in dirrection i want to go, so when i look left like that i turn 90 degress left mid slide

[stray valley]

ras strafe > tap strafe

[mighty brook]

true

[alpine trail]

im actually so bad at apex

driving me nuts

[viscid wraith]

same dude

im like

absurdly disappointed at how little im improving

[kind sandal]

[alpine trail]

im not even fucking improving im actually worsening

[viscid wraith]

im trying to be positive and think im improving lmao

im just

so fucking stupid

[alpine trail]

[viscid wraith]

😐

[alpine trail]

hahahha

nice

[viscid wraith]

i dont even know how i ended up loving fps games

with how fucking slow i am

lmao

[alpine trail]

i come from league of legends because of bad teammates

and now im the bad teammate

[plush burrow]

can relate

[viscid wraith]

also yay another "pred" prefiring me multiple times that plays like a fucking toddler with no thumbs when i spectate 👍

absolutely buttfucks me multiple times off headglitches that he had no business staring at and then apparently forgets how to play the game

checks out

[alpine trail]

was just playing with 2 guys form battlecord because i got tired of soloqing d4

instantly put into pred matches

like nice

loot up get valk ulted onto and fucking shat on

by nrs 400-600 pred

[viscid wraith]

ye i was playing ranked late at night cause thats all i can do during the work week

died twice to the KNG sweat stack

and multiple times to top 100 pred 👍

backfill is fun

hard to improve when youre getting anally dissected by 3 people who play with each other 6-7 days a week 8+ hrs a day for a fucking living

[kind sandal]

Is good is good

[alpine trail]

just play safe

[kind sandal]

I just play pubs now, my ego gets hurt in ranked

[alpine trail]

[viscid wraith]

i cant even consistently 1v2 in duos anymore

like i think its just that the game has gotten noticeably more sweaty and i havent necessarily gotten worse

but it still pisses me off

i cant even farm a fucking 3k by myself

so fcking bad

[kind sandal]

I'm farming pubs these days, not sure if I have gotten better or good players busy playing ranked

Havent dropped a 20 bomb in a while though

Daily 4Ks still feels good though

[alpine trail]

idk 20 bomb is hard with stormpoint being poub map half the time

maps actually dead

[kind sandal]

Yeah I just have bad rng

[viscid wraith]

i have two 4ks

[alpine trail]

havent realized at first when it came out

[kind sandal]

Had 15 kills with 17 people alive today

[alpine trail]

but now when i play the map after hotdropm i spent 10 mins playing hide and seek

[kind sandal]

Couldnt find a single team until only two teams alive

Pretty sad

[viscid wraith]

dont even have a 4k on wraith despite having put 2k kills into her since coming back 👍

[alpine trail]

play ash and watch map for deathboxes to appear

[kind sandal]

I like Valks ult though

[proven pulsar]

I have one let's goooo

[viscid wraith]

unfortunately the amount of sheer pain and suffering i would like to verbally wish on sacks of human sewage like this are prob against the rules https://streamable.com/f10do8

sitting in a corner on the 2nd floor waiting for traps to go off ✅

[kind sandal]

Hes just better

[viscid wraith]

landed there, stayed there 👍

prob didnt leave there until ring closed 👍

*if he even needed to

[kind sandal]

Yes, some Pred Caustic did this to me

29K kills

Sat in the same building in fragment

With full 3 stack

[zenith lion]

caustic players are the bane of my existence

[kind sandal]

Hopefully he gets nerfed to the ground

Apex without Caustic and Bloodhound would be awesome

[viscid wraith]

OH LOOK

ANOTHER CAUSTIC DUO

CAMPING A FUCKING BUILDING

https://streamable.com/hcdjvy

WOW

THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO GAME

[zenith lion]

i think

it is time to stop playing the game

for the sake of ur mental health

[viscid wraith]

if i die to another caustic im just gonna go cry about some other bullshit in overwatch 👍

cause there are

so many great options

for quality fps games rn 👍

god just fucking shoot me

[quasi stone]

thats just prowlers with legend reskins

i threw it when the bangalore got downed so i could drop and res

or we would hve been beamed when ressing

[viscid wraith]

problem is

i legitimately want to get good at this game

i legit want to play

even if its just hours of hating my skill level and getting dogged on by thumbless neanderthals

[burnt stone]

lmao

you're already good at the game like not masters pred level but you're not bad

[zenith lion]

at least your not a caustic sitting in a corner waiting on traps

[burnt stone]

or is he?

[zenith lion]

constantly calling ur self shit isnt gonna help

u need confidence but not like walk into 3 ppl and die ego type beat

[wintry scroll]

Yes

[visual shoal]

fking hate storm point

can they remove this crap and put olympus back in already

[austere glen]

just make every map skulltown and only skulltown

[viscid wraith]

energy depot was honestly a more fun hotzone than skully lol

skulltown is nostalgia rose colored glasses

it was not actually a good POI

especially with rats that would friggin grab good distance weapons and sit on the bones

[austere glen]

i mean i'd rather get railed by someone in cqc with actual aim as opposed to some cunt just clicking the moving dots at the back of the map with a charge rifle

which is why i hate open maps

(every map)

(i play arenas)

[viscid wraith]

tf you mean aim, the majority of this playerbase is on an assisted input anyway lmfao

[austere glen]

let me cope

[viscid wraith]

cqc in skulltown now

[austere glen]

console players don't exist

[viscid wraith]

would be you getting one clipped by roller fuckheads

every drop

there was no aim assist in s0 thank god

[austere glen]

better game back then

[viscid wraith]

i just wish i had variety to play when this game tilts me

everything is so fucking garbage

[austere glen]

shooters are really bad rn

[viscid wraith]

if i want higher ttk tracking i need to play overwatch, otherwise its fucking valorant

[austere glen]

which is why i'm playing mmos instead

all the good games that used to exist are either dead or neglected, and all we get is mtx bullshit with 5 million battlepasses and no unique design

[ember wagon]

wow caustic needs to be removed no skill character

[austere glen]

it's actually disheartening thinking that battlefield is probably the single most unique shooter out there rn, and even that's only because of the scale of the battles

bring back titanfall 2

or any actual movement shooter for that matter

[viscid wraith]

northstar client is slightly resurrecting tf|2

but its still just gonna be small

community run servers

[austere glen]

small is better than dead

there aren't even any promising new shooters coming out

it's looking really dark out there rn

[viscid wraith]

plus as much as i love titanfall it wasnt a particularly hard game, and i really need a ranked incentive to keep interested in a game

[austere glen]

i feel like a game needing an incentive detached from the gameplay itself is a sign of the game not being the right fit

like, i think that a game should intrinsically be fun and rewarding to play, without a scheme designed for it

like a ranked system

[viscid wraith]

i agree but at the same time i dont lump a ranked system into that

just because if i were to put time into northstar

i would get extremely bored of dumpstering nostalgic 30 year olds

[austere glen]

i guess we have different priorities then

[viscid wraith]

also im afraid northstar will take the route a lot of custom server clients do and just start banning skillful players so the boomers can enjoy themselves

[austere glen]

for example, right now, one of the mmos i'm playing, i just like playing my character and using my skills

because the skills themselves are satisfying and rewarding to use

[charred plank]

You are not the only one tap strafing but you are randomly shaking your mouse in the air to look your aim cool 😄

[fair trellis]

dont players host the lobbies?

[austere glen]

i wouldn't even need the xp or money reward from killing monsters, just being able to slap around some pixels with neat skills is enough

[viscid wraith]

im not sure

i havent looked that closely at it yet

[fair trellis]

because if so then i think they dictate it xd

[austere glen]

voltaic northstar server when

[gilded jacinth]

hes on that dunning kruger dip

[gilded jacinth]

t-thats needed for tap strafing bro

[deep linden]

voltaic r5reloaded server when?

[gilded jacinth]

forward input directional strafe and mouse movement

[deep linden]

tap strafing is basically this
Stack forward lurch while air strafing

how to stack forward lurch? tap forward key multiple times

[gilded jacinth]

mousewheel

[deep linden]

it's not just mousewheel but yes, in apex, you can abuse mousewheel for stacking lurch

[gilded jacinth]

yeah, you also need to hold a or d and FLICK @charred plank

[deep linden]

not really flick

just a smooth fast motion

doesn't necessarily need to flick as shown by tiddyfall speedrunners

the motion can be parabolic anyway

[gilded jacinth]

sure its not necesary but when there isnt a too fast where it wont work

and accuracy isnt important either

[deep linden]

not really. It's just a matter of how far in deg you want to turn within 0.5 seconds

[gilded jacinth]

yeah, who would do a smooth parabolic motion in a 1v1

[ember wagon]

When does diamond get hard?

D 2?

[deep linden]

why would you want a tap strafe in a 1v1 when you could just ras strafe

[viscid wraith]

if you want hard diamond play during off hours

[deep linden]

which allows you to still be on target while being decently hard to hit

[viscid wraith]

so you get backfilled

[gilded jacinth]

I think @charred plank just is a contrarian who hates faide and berates people for moving

[viscid wraith]

how is that relevant to the discussion lmao

[gilded jacinth]

you maintain higher speed of superglides i think

dont really use it

[charred plank]

You are not moving necessarily , show business bro

[gilded jacinth]

what

[deep linden]

not really

[gilded jacinth]

ill look into it, ty for tip

[deep linden]

superglides are normally one directional

[ember wagon]

omg i thought your name was spityful

BUT ITS SPIYT

[charred plank]

0:05-0:07 xd

[ember wagon]

wtf

[deep linden]

what tap strafing after simply just allows you to have more air control

i was on roller all i had to do was wait until the tap strafer stopped :^)

[ember wagon]

@viscid wraith when i said whn does diamond get hard i mean when will i get put with masters and preds

[charred plank]

You knocked the guy and still doing 180 flick 😄

[viscid wraith]

lmao really common misreading

[charred plank]

Spityful

[gilded jacinth]

centered my mouse

[deep linden]

when you get backfilled or D1

[charred plank]

😥

[gilded jacinth]

yeah, its most useful if you have aditional speed or airtime

[deep linden]

the people who complain about tap strafe while on roller just don't know how to stop ADSing and shooting

[charred plank]

No, there are some real good minimal tap strafes destroys controller aim , @plush burrow and me experienced this, really hard to aim on those

[deep linden]

qheu

when val

[gilded jacinth]

close range superglide into tap strafe is a roller killer

even with max sens you can only do a 180 so fast

this dosent really matter either then

[deep linden]

new character can tap strafe

[gilded jacinth]

moving like a UFO-strafe

[deep linden]

now i have new main

perfect timing as I just uninstalled Ape Egg

[gilded jacinth]

lmao

horizon 2

[deep linden]

tired of devs removing shit like punchboosting (from ALGS) and trying to mess with tap strafing even though they don't understand shit about how and why they work and why they're fun additions that make apex unique

[ember wagon]

what does backfilled mean?

[deep linden]

meaning not enough lobbies/people on a higher rank making them be matchmade against people from lower rank queue

so think only around 30 master/pred level players are queueing but no one else is queueing for like 10 minutes, the game decides to pick people from diamond queue and put them in the master/pred lobby

[ember wagon]

oh ok

diamond solo q is already pretty hard

d1 is gonna be impossible with preds

[gilded jacinth]

if can you do 150 degree turn like that without w inputs ill give u my account

thats a flat ground tap strafe

[viscid wraith]

?

[gilded jacinth]

hold on

show me a clip where you unbind mwheel and recreate that

the flick made it useless you said

[burnt stone]

whereas smoothly turning you maintain the speed the entire way

[gilded jacinth]

Qheutie — Today at 5:12 AM
if u flick with tap strafing u lose velocity
at least in my experience

Yama — Today at 5:13 AM
close range superglide into tap strafe is a roller killer
even with max sens you can only do a 180 so fast
Yama — Today at 5:16 AM
this dosent really matter either then

Qheutie — Today at 5:17 AM
if you flick all the w taps just go perpendicular to ur velocity
[5:17 AM]
its just as useless as flicking while air strafing (edited)

to which i asked to your airstrafe flick

maybe i missunderstood what you were saying at some point

ive ripped my windows key out ages ago

and burned it

but yeah, from what i interpreted you were saying that the tapstrafe inputs were anulled cause i flicked too fast

oh

scroll faster

the more inputs, the faster you can flick

and maintain speed

360 degrees is possible im pretty sure

mb

If that sentinel clip where i wasn't trynna style caused so much outrage, then what will this do

[viscid wraith]

....

outrage?

[gilded jacinth]

commotion

attention

notifications

Splashoui

whatever you wanna call it

are you working upwards for precsision?

[quasi stone]

noreg legends

i love when i hit the enemy path for 99 just before going down so then it doesnt count as damage

[sharp nova]

crazy gaming

[little verge]

16cm so you can be YouTuber energy and just swap aim angles every quarter of a second.

After doing mouse aim you start a "challenge" series where you run roller and no one realizes how much better you are and the irony falls on deaf ears.

[burnt stone]

this scen is goated for target reading

[magic juniper]

[smoky talon]

[wintry scroll]

ill snipe your score

[burnt stone]

i'm going for 60% acc end game

if you can snipe that gg

[viscid wraith]

daily reminder that if you purchase turbocharged weapons in arenas you deserve war crimes

👍

too bad this mode has been forgotten since the first week of its release

[bright elm]

because its just BR with two squads fighting and a buy system

why not just go into real br with more ppl to fight

[viscid wraith]

cause sometimes i get tired of getting assfucked by a thumbless neanderthal that lands on a purple and a flatline

[alpine trail]

i play arena to warmup

[viscid wraith]

and instead want to get assfucked by a thumbless neanderthal that buys a turbo devo 👍

also how in the literal fuck do you only do 130 lmaooo

this video game gets worse every day

[viscid wraith]

i dont see how this of all things makes it worse

but overall a correct statement 👍

[wintry cypress]

Holy shit

[wintry cypress]

^

[gilded jacinth]

sweet, new movement dropped

[gilded jacinth]

this is why i stopped playing ranked arenas

[hard grove]

dropped 500 rp from solo queuing today

i want to rip hair out of my scalp

[gilded jacinth]

p4 and d4 are mega cursed ranks for me, spent like a week vibin in p4 and spent like 6 hours ish on rest of plat

[alpine trail]

i buy that shit in arena if im annoyed at the game

if im not having fun no one else is allowed to

[livid cliff]

mad bc bad

[burnt stone]

no

it's just worse

[odd fable]

ranked areans favors controller players way too much smh

[gilded jacinth]

depends quite a bit on the map, but yeah

[odd fable]

mainly because arenas focuses on aim much more than br

[sharp nova]

🤨

[clever sleet]

if u go autosprint youll never be able to relearn doing it manually

its actually impossible and autosprint fucks with a lot of stuff

And its only gonna get worse on Storm Point with more slopes

[bright elm]

isnt it banned

from comp

[alpine trail]

consistent punch boosting on a sloped angle while gaining velocity is banned yes

you are allowed to use it once or twice just not chain them

[dusky summit]

only ALGS

[alpine trail]

somebody was playing ALGS scrims last night and explained that

cant remember who it was tho

[alpine trail]

[mighty brook]

trying apex again after stoppping ffor a weekk

no audio

nvm

[viscid wraith]

im only playing apex with people now

done with solo

not worth it

game is trash

[hoary hamlet]

agree

[little verge]

Yeah, it really isn't the move for one's mental.

[viscid wraith]

ive stopped enjoying the game enough to want to put the time in to improve

which just means the time i do spend playing gets more and more miserable since i just whiff or get tilted at stupid bullshit

id rather play ow and shoot double shield for 20 minutes

[fair trellis]

its fine to move on too and quit completely

you got nothing to prove so if you arent enjoying it as much feel free

[alpine trail]

solo is the only way bro

jk solo is boring but good for improving

I haven't solo'd in about a week tho

just ranked

[charred plank]

yeah soloq game experience is so low unless you are killing everyone, playing every day with beast mode

[viscid wraith]

like i admit im shit

but i cba to improve

not worth the mental and unenjoyment

i would prob enjoy it more if i was better but atm im not in the mind to go for it

[charred plank]

i was hyped to improve few days earlier, but last night i played few games then stopped, i was not feeling to play solo.

[charred plank]

yeah, same. just take break one or two days. and start playing with people when you are back.

[livid cliff]

just dont solo then

[viscid wraith]

honestly with microsoft acquiring blizzard

i might just invest some time into ow

i actually enjoy that game as shit as it can be at times

[mighty brook]

edged by a 3 man with kraber

[little verge]

Imagine playing pubs like that

[mighty brook]

literally identifies im 1 person

3 people

stays up there.

plays zone

[little verge]

People playing ranked: [Drops away from team, solo pushes a fight and gets downed]
People playing pubs: "Yo John, don't peek that he's got a P2020. I got hit for 12, popping a batt. I only got six left, anyone got meds? JOHN DON'T PEEK THAT WE NEED TO PLAY FOR ZONE, I WILL REMOVE YOU FROM MY FRIENDS LIST IF WE LOSE THIS."

[odd fable]

what rank are u talking about?

[fair trellis]

every rank when soloq

[odd fable]

i don't understand why anyone would soloq above plat (unless ur tryna do solo to masters/pred)

[little verge]

I always solo to diamond because I hate myself.

[odd fable]

i did it this split cuz i was kinda late and everyone was already diamond

and honestly to diamond isn't that bad

in diamond is pure pain

[viscid wraith]

im just

so fucking done dieing to input favoritism

back to input locked/seperated games 👍

[little verge]

I saw a video of someone using cheat software in warzone while also using a controller. Like you already have aimbot and you need more?

[viscid wraith]

getting fucked by lvl 24 timmy thumbsticks who struggles to open a deathbox isnt my idea of fun

[odd fable]

how do u do that?

if there's a way for me to not face roller players i sure will

[little verge]

OW and Halo are the only input matchmaking games I know of.

[fair trellis]

by not playing apex

[odd fable]

oh

[plush burrow]

Play roller 😅

[viscid wraith]

ye, not in apex lol

cause respawn good design decisions

[plush burrow]

It's busted though

[viscid wraith]

yeah and i have zero interest in playing roller so

unfortunate

[remote river]

its an extremely boring experience

[plush burrow]

To each there own, it's a pretty chill experience tbh

Hybrid is also fun to try

[remote river]

Hybrid is fun

I have done that

I use roller when i just want to turn off my brain

[bright elm]

[austere glen]

what settings are you using to get recordings that smooth?

[little verge]

Apex felt bad for me and threw me some bots for real

There was a solo trios Ash who tried to 1vs1 me after we had already fought like 6 squads and had red/purple/purple with white and a bow/mozam.

Total bots.

[ember wagon]

they buffed kraber headshot dmg to 425?

435

[odd fable]

it one shots anyone to the head with fortified either way so why does it matter?

body dmg is the same as always

[ember wagon]

it doesn't mattter but they still changed it

To disgrace your family like that, I deeply sympathize.

[viscid wraith]

Watching this dev team shit itself slowly is so much more entertaining since I played an hour of tryhardffa

Imagine if we had that or something even vaguely similar in apex

But unfortunately we won't so I've stopped caring

[round wraith]

I add motionblur

Medina is turning out to be just a more polite dzk

[austere glen]

is that really it?

[viscid wraith]

And might I add "slightly"

Still talks shit on Twitter, but instead of even using words half the time it's just snide/sarcastic memes and gifs

[wintry viper]

im new to apex

where do i start to learn?

[viscid wraith]

Watch streamers, play the game a lot, watch aceu and bambisweets movement guides

SoaR hollows commentary videos are also amazing

[round wraith]

Bru yes

[austere glen]

didnt think it'd make so much of a difference

well, time to experiment i guess

[round wraith]

It's 480fps to 60

So it's a quite high motion blur ratio

[austere glen]

i see

[rigid jolt]

@plush burrow do you play both roller and mouse?

[plush burrow]

Not at the same time but yeah

Do you still need vods for jade?

interesting...yay or nay

Nice, might have go for it

[viscid wraith]

Nix uses it, he's sponsored by kovaaks so he won't say it out loud but he's implied that it's very useful to him

[alpine trail]

does it use the same movement values

if dats the case i might try it

[viscid wraith]

No idea I have yet to try it

[alpine trail]

just bought it

bout to find out

[odd fable]

the concept is nice, now they just need some decent scens

[alpine trail]

playing it right now

and i have to say

my shotgun aim is really fucking good compared to apex

[magic juniper]

@alpine trail probably because it's not 20 tick

[alpine trail]

IDK if thats the reason

i think i just choke in game

n tense up in shotgun fights

[dusky summit]

so close to winning trios

but lost to no reg

[alpine trail]

i do wish there was tap strafing tho

[velvet orchid]

what reticles do u guys use

man i can't fucking wait to get proper internet

shitters arent ready

legit over half my shjots are noregs

What’s your speeds currently ?

[alpine trail]

anyone 1v1?

[little verge]

Another day of showing up to work and yesterday's order is half shorted and already worked, and today's order is nowhere to be seen. So bored these last few weeks lol.

[alpine trail]

idk im playing so bad lately

need the 1v1 practice

[plush burrow]

You need to 1v1 roller players

Trust

[alpine trail]

lmao the way im playing this week it doesnt even take aa to shit on me

[plush burrow]

Don't even think it's the aa

But when people 1v1 a roller player, aim goes bussin trust

[alpine trail]

1v1 me then

[plush burrow]

I can't be bothered to 1v1 rn tbh

[alpine trail]

i see

[plush burrow]

It's not that, just feel like playing a mode now instead of 1v1s

[alpine trail]

ye no worries

[mellow kestrel]

nothing wrong with my speed

well, could be better but

50/15 ish

ill show you what the issue is

@rigid jolt

constant 35-50ms jitter

ping is fucking all over the place 24/7

[plush burrow]

I'm on 30/10

Consistent net tho

spamming voice chat in french

?

[alpine trail]

d4 gibby and plat 4 valk

[livid cliff]

u want em to speak english if they french?

[alpine trail]

gibby lands solo on a different team

i want them to either speak a language i can understand

or talk using discord or some shit

[livid cliff]

or maybe stop crying

idk

[alpine trail]

lmao

[livid cliff]

ur playing eu servers and complaining that ppl arent speaking english

LMAO

what a joke

[alpine trail]

wtf

[viscid wraith]

Admittedly with how respawn enforces localization of their servers if you're on EU you kind of have to expect it sometimes

[alpine trail]

are u seriously thinking people dont speak english in eu

[viscid wraith]

I get it occasionally on NA even cause of french canada

[livid cliff]

u right ppl only have to cater to you

cant speak french bc u dont want em to

[alpine trail]

becasue i dont understand french

i dont go ahead and talk german to people

who dont udnerstand it

[livid cliff]

they are speaking to each other u slow brain

[viscid wraith]

There's a possibility they don't speak English (I am not aware of the French school curriculum)

[alpine trail]

no way sherlock

[livid cliff]

u legit just said i dont go ahead and talk german to other ppl

they arent speaking to other ppl

they speaking to each other

[viscid wraith]

I filled in for a French Canadian team during a league final for siege and their English was absolutely terrible

[livid cliff]

u seem like someone who cries over everything

its comical

[alpine trail]

they should be speaking to me aswell

commuication can be really fkn useful in a team game

[quasi stone]

Let me get this straight

[viscid wraith]

Unfortunately that's just the way of video game voice chat

[quasi stone]

In European servers

[viscid wraith]

Has been prob always will

[quasi stone]

People are speaking French

[livid cliff]

shocker right?

why arent they all speaking english

smh

[alpine trail]

yeah not like english isnt considered to be a global language

[livid cliff]

does not matter lmao

u cant be that slow brain to play eu and expect every single person to only speak in english

u gotta be special to think that

[alpine trail]

and why exactly is taht

[livid cliff]

all the countries and u think they all speak english?

wym why exactly is that?

[alpine trail]

most eurpoean counntires teach english in school

[livid cliff]

is that a serious question

[alpine trail]

my 12 year old brother can speak english

[livid cliff]

cool story bro

[quasi stone]

什 么？

[viscid wraith]

Doesn't necessarily mean they are that good at it, I passed high school Spanish and would struggle to speak it altho I can understand it

[livid cliff]

its comical that u think ppl have to cater to u in a video game

[charred plank]

most of them afraid to even hear english. French people are really bad at english, in my experience (in real life).

[quasi stone]

I’m pretty sure Chinese is the ‘global language’

[livid cliff]

yeah it is

[alpine trail]

my point is that its fucking annoying to get random duos as my teammates who completely ignore me because they dont evne bother to commuincate with me and instead spamm voice chat iwht shit i cant understand

[livid cliff]

mute them

instead of crying

[viscid wraith]

Technically there's more first language speakers of mandarin then there are of English iirc?

It's kind of crazy actually

[charred plank]

He is using open mic because he is console.

I talk 3 languages 😛 going for 4th next year.

[quasi stone]

Play na. I have to cope with 190 ping or play simgapore/Japanese servers which have Japanese speakers 10 percent of the time

*emglish

[viscid wraith]

Nice! I keep.procrastinating but I want to learn a 3rd and become not shit at my 2nd lol

[alpine trail]

they actually both are

well english was officially and now its a debate between the two

[charred plank]

It is definitely fun challenge and when you are able to communicate and express yourself in another language, it feels so well.

[alpine trail]

what are your languages u speak and which are u going for next

[plush burrow]

Not going to lie every country in eu atleast this gen educated can speak english

One is console so that's why they are using game chat

[rain sleet]

My first 4k, teammates died and called me a bunch of names and left.

Said that players like me ruin the game, a racial slur, and left.

🙂

😭

[plush burrow]

If they stayed it would be harder to get a 4k tbh

[rain sleet]

no rez for them 🙂

i just play ranked, literally havent touched pubs since i got level 10 so i decided to give it a shot today

didnt realize how many players are willing to just get beamed and do nothing

I also got to diamond like a day ago so a nice week for me in apex

I always tell myself I am going to try for masters but then my will dies off cause I am shy to find good teammates
