whats a good sens range /360 in apex*?

Lol

25-45

most common range is around 30-40 tho

#

anything works depending on your mouse control tho

is there any settings i definitely should/shouldn't use in apex?

#

I heard that hit markers off improves your aim drastically!

wintry cypress
#

True:

#

Evidence: everyone that doesnt use them

#

Honestly tho no hitmarkers are the shit

#

I love it

pumpy is so good its just hit shots and win

until you have to reload TrollDespair

#

sorry 4 stupid how do i apply that

#

also u think the footstep stuff could cause a future ban?

What rank r u rn

solo q aint even bad ibr

ty guys

alpine trail
keen reef
#

max can be anything im 99% sure

alpine trail
#

lets test

#

my pc should be able to run this game like that in 240

viscid wraith
#

respawn unfortunately struggles with a recurring bug that causes game instability above 190

#

its currently fixed, but it will likely be back within a month or two lmfao

alpine trail
#

oh okay

viscid wraith
#

since theyve yet to be able to fix it completely over the games entire fucking lifespan OMEGALUL

alpine trail
#

thanks rly appreciate it

viscid wraith
#

also playing above 200 frames makes advanced tech like supergliding overly difficult when you eventually try to learn it

#

under 200 frames is doable, but its a technique that requires frame timing windows that get tighter the higher your fps

alpine trail
#

why is that tied to fps tf lmao

glossy crown
#

easier on server

viscid wraith
#

source engine lul

#

also shitty programming

alpine trail
#

krunker removed fps tied movement months ago lmaooo

viscid wraith
#

lot of frame window based mechanics

#

like last gen consoles reach the ground faster than everyone else

#

cause theres velocity compensation for their low frames during drop

#

this game is a shitshow

glossy crown
#

i did not know that OMEGALUL

viscid wraith
#

unfortunately its the best thing going rn for high ttk fps lmao

alpine trail
#

wait so if i limit my fps to 1 using rtss while falling and then back to 190 im technically always 1st to land?

viscid wraith
#

there is a limit of course, i believe the diminishing returns start at around 30 fps but i dont have sources for the info

#

but technically yes you could abuse frame caps in this game

glossy crown
#

there are stuff like cfg to autoexec fps for superglide on 144 fps

viscid wraith
#

a lot of people do to make things like superglides easier, its very stupid

alpine trail
#

what is supergliding

#

can anybody link 1-2 good yt channels to really learn the game?

viscid wraith
#

its an advanced movement tech that gives you a large boost of momentum

viscid wraith
#

highly recommend

glossy crown
#

u climb and input jump and crouch at frame perfect time and it makes your velocity 500 instantly

viscid wraith

otherwise bambisweets movement guides are fantastic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqqKT5d1RBY&t

theres a pt 2 as well (ofc)

#

noted, thanks :)

#

F11 in menus or ingame?

viscid wraith
#

in game

#

lor well

#

when gaqme is launched

#

you dont have to be in a match

#

and you dont have to press f11 at all if you dont change things, it just re-executes the file

#

the effects should all be active on launch

alpine trail
#

kk :)

#

ty for being so helpful ^^

viscid wraith
#

yw

#

its storm point rotation in pubs anyway so im doing literally nothing rn lul

alpine trail
#

should i play arena first for a bit or straight up grind trios till i can ranked?

silver summit
#

I play arenas to get my aim going

#

Then I play ranked br

viscid wraith
#

arenas is a very underwhelming experience but it can be a decent warmup and way to learn the guns

alpine trail
#

my aim i noticed is very good, the only good thing about my 4 years OW

viscid wraith
#

yep a lot of ow players thrive in apex

#

strafes are slower and recoil is very manageable

alpine trail
#

why cant i put high priority task manager in apex?

viscid wraith
#

hollow for example has 10k hrs in overwatch and is considered one of the top mechanical players

im playing on a phone hotspot via wire because its cheaper than buying a seperate contract for each and in austria mobile internet with the highest dataplan (for priority reasons) is genuinely far better than actual modems unless you live in vienna, which i dont

I think its time I really work on having a nasty strafe. I mostly antimirror but I need to learn to read ppl better https://themeta.com/movement-playlist/

Movement Essentials This playlist and guide was created by longtime KovaaK moderator, patys.  Aiming while moving is an essential part of shooter games. One of the possible ways to move is to strafe aim. In this guide, I’ll explain a … Read More

Dude I hope they do a good job with it. OW is fun but its not FPS enough at times

#

I need a new FPS

little verge
#

The only thing about the Havoc vs Devo is the Devo is just hilariously easy to control.

#

But strafe speed and hipfire alone are reasons to keep the Havoc for me.

Why are console players so angry all the time

#

And yes my name is jonjonlongschlong, but like I hate voltaic posting clips and then those comments come up

#

If everything you ever thought you accomplished and boasted about endlessly was a lie, wouldn't you be angry too?

glossy crown
#

deadass the only pc gaming experience I had was roblox and halo pc edition campaign and shit

#

oh and garry's mod zombie survival and stuff which does require some aiming monkaHmm

#

but once i realized how little fundementals i had when i did get a pc to play shooters it was a nice wake up call 🙂

#

a nice little reminder that most everything was hand holding for me besides decision making and position

little verge
#

Yeah, I think lately people have tried to convince themselves that raw input is easier because of more control, but often don't realize there's still a need for microcorrection and fine motor skills, on top of needing technique, lack of tension, and good reactivity.

twilit flicker
#

i got shit on by a controller player with movement

#

damn respect

glossy crown
#

with how much growth there is with now a much more consistent and efficient way to train aim i can only imagine what the aim of tomorrow's gamers will be

little verge
#

Hard to say, because as gaming continues to be a commodity and business overall I feel like aim is continuing to be a smaller factor. Publishers and developers want more people to play, so they have to mitigate the loss in retention by reducing skill gaps.

#

Above all else, I imagine most of the professional players are still going to be ones that understand the mechanical aspects, decision making, and positioning more than people just grinding out aim skill.

glossy crown
#

especially if movement remains a thing

zinc elm
#

but pc players tapstrafe me to death and that make me sad

#

:(

#

respawn plz nerf

glossy crown
#

switch to better input method 🙂

zinc elm
#

I’m on pc

#

I make funny

glossy crown
#

i know im just saying ideal response to that

#

or be like that one guy who is crazy on the sticks and moves like a pc player

until he has to loot OMEGALUL

#

goes insane ppOverheat and then looting 🗿

wintry cypress

#

Most people don’t have that kind of mindset

glossy crown
#

I used to think I was a crazy good tracer and would brag about it in school with my other friends OMEGALUL

zinc elm
#

yikes

glossy crown
#

they won't learn until they get humbled on pc. Don't get me wrong tho there are some roller' players that touch pc and go crazy

grizzled willow
#

Nah

#

Just think about it like this

#

Mouse and keyboards were created for typing and controller was created for gaming

#

It’s just the better input cuz that’s what it was made for

wintry cypress
#

But arent fps games made for m&k?

#

I mean sure controller is a gaming input but i dont feel like it was necessarily made to be competitive in a fps environment

#

But idk

glossy crown
#

i mean ngl keyboad could use some optimizations for finger efficiency usage

wintry cypress
#

Hmmm idk i think its fine as is

twilit flicker
#

its legit fine?

glossy crown
#

i mean yeah its fine

#

and easy to adapt to. I meant in keybindings oops

wintry cypress
#

Yea i can reach all the buttons i need for fps games

glossy crown
#

i never really put much thought about it till i saw a small youtuber do like some brief analysis on most used and easily accessible keys to increase the skill ceiling of the attack helicopter in rising storm 2

#

AiMASsiST On1Y SLoWs

#

Said every console kid

glossy crown
#

yeah its actually a DISADVANTAGE because I cant do X stuff

#

when a player runs into my zone

grizzled willow
#

Than I do a quick kd check on them it’s like .8 or some shut

glossy crown
#

I mean currently I don't have the hours put into this game in the first place to complain about roller players anyway and eventually i'll get to that point and I just need to acknowledge that it is skill issue on my part that someone is on a different input method and won a 1v1 when I have every potential movement advantage over them at that point

#

and a skill ceiling to climb for aim consistency

grizzled willow
#

Lol for me I can tell who is controller instantly

#

Just by the way they sprint

#

I just wait for them to go to a deathbox so I can insta kill the@

#

literally, had to check vod if i forgot to heal hp

but also just have better aim and better micro positioning and superior movment in general to abuse their sensitivity limitations

Bigggg gains

imagine "gaming" like that

like dog ur playing half the game hahahaha

That .6 is not legal

60% ai 40% thumbs

tawny comet
#

that with 120fps soon

#

👍

grizzled willow
#

Tru xd

lethal wraith
#

they should honestly give controller players 1.0 for a day

#

so they realize how much of an aimbot the full value is

grizzled willow
#

Well 1.0 means 100% ai 😂

lethal geyser
#

how far we have fallen from quake multiplayer to people believing that .6 aim assist on joysticks is real gaming

#

also the clowns like us who still use mnk hahaha

glossy crown
#

i cant tell which is stronger sensitivy, halo or apex. Deadass go play a halo lobby right now on mnk and it feels like fighting against little league ESPORTS pros while sweating your balls off like a mad man, then plug in the controller and it because a casual game its freaking wild

lethal geyser
#

im in shock that it is in all these games

#

theres so many more console/controller players than MnK so its unlikely many games will be designed around us in the future

charred plank
lethal geyser
#

thats why i laugh when im kovaaks as if it matters for shit haha

lethal wraith
#

to be fair I don't mind it being in halo

#

at least halo was meant 100% for controller to begin with

glossy crown
#

if I had to decide though, I would much rather have aim assist console players in my lobbies than longer queue times

lethal geyser
#

we dont have a choice haha

little verge
glossy crown
lethal geyser
#

its already been over for like 5+ years

#

calling an above average MnK player shit for losing vs a dumpster roller player is just....lol

#

u should be able to compete with above average roller "aimers"

#

does that even exist? no idea

grizzled willow
#

There is this guy named withoutSPRIT

#

He went from mnk to rolla in s4

#

He is better than genburtan

lethal geyser
#

Frexa said it took him 1 month

#

to get to his pre-switch skill going from MnK - Rolla

#

he is on a pro team

#

1 month to learn an input

fair trellis
#

so what to do when stagnated at the same skill level for the past 1000 hours, tips appreciated

loud kiln
lethal wraith
#

the more hours you have the more you have to focus on more and more intricate stuff

#

which makes it also easy to autopilot

zinc elm
#

Identify and focus on your mistakes

lethal wraith
#

if you feel like you have stagnated then you most likely might have to switch the way you think about improving

zinc elm
#

And don’t autopilot

grizzled willow
#

WithoutSPRIT

#

Is without a doubt best rolla player

grizzled willow
#

Took sprit 1 season to become god

glossy crown
#

if you go to the tiktok its literally every console player in existence mocking mnk "'BUT AIM ASSIST', look at this shit!"

#

but if you actually watch this guy's normal gameplay he never uses any of this movement tech ingame

tawny comet
fair trellis
lethal wraith
#

yeah I think maybe try changing your approach, take one thing you want to improve and try to focus on it while playing

grizzled willow
#

Also reptar

fair trellis
#

but everything is shit

grizzled willow
#

He switched to controller

fair trellis
#

theres no one big thing holding me back

#

im fuccking dogshit at everything

grizzled willow
#

And 1 month later he dropped 20 bomb in pro scrim with controller

lethal wraith
#

then start with positioning and staying alive first

glossy crown
#

@fair trellis what do you feel you struggle with?

if you play solo nofill is there a better decision or play you could have made other than one you had made?
maybe you have really bad micro positioning, check out faide and watch how he evades and fights his enemies and also check out coach nihil on his videos on positioning

fair trellis
#

my issue is i know my mistakes after i die but i keep repeating them

grizzled willow
#

Honest advice go buy some hacks to use walls and get ur game sense to max and plug controller to have good mechanics

fair trellis
#

i play nofill

fair trellis
#

how

glossy crown
#

find at least ONE thing you could have done better, like keeping grenades in inventory before each fight and how they could have been used towards your advantage. In games, make conscious decisions to not repeat the mistake you made

#

VOD review one thing

fair trellis
#

h o w to make conscious decisions

#

its not like i fucking know this already

zinc elm
#

Have an internal dialogue with yourself

fair trellis
#

i do that

zinc elm
#

Reason out to yourself why your doing something

fair trellis
#

yet i keep repeating same mistakes over and over

near drift
#

@fair trellis do you play alone or with people?

fair trellis
#

i do that too

#

alone

#

nofill

near drift
#

if you play alone, talk to yourself

#

everything you do

fair trellis
#

i do that

near drift
#

say what you will do next out loud

#

to yourself

alpine trail

honestly good aim will take you to dimaond easily

#

U get better based on the people around you

#

wait did hollow_o get rid of his video on how to vod review

#

i was gonna link it but cant find it

alpine trail
near drift
alpine trail
#

and try to incorp that in your gameplay

fair trellis
#

do that too

fair trellis
#

yet next game i do the same thing

alpine trail
#

then start punishing your self for making the same mistake

simple narwhal
#

self harm urself

fair trellis
#

like slap myself in the balls or what

near drift
#

idk what to tell you, i started vod reviewing a week ago and can actively stop myself from making the same mistakes most times

alpine trail
#

idk you can start doing 10 pushups every time you do the same mistakes

#

you can take a timeout on playing

#

be creative

glossy crown
#

don't do self harm. I used to speedrun a game and rubber band snap myself when i put in a bad input ITS NOT WORTH IT and it did not help me improve at all

simple narwhal
#

wtf

fair trellis
#

mine is smooth

glossy crown
#

kiku see if you can get someone to watch your games

near drift
#

ehh

#

idk if you are looking for problems or solutions rn my guy

#

take a break

alpine trail
#

well he just said this problem is he keeps making the same mistake even though he knows how to avoid it

near drift
#

play god of war or elden ring or somn

glossy crown
#

ngl i had this same issue myself when i would speedrun and is why i quit

#

i would make same mistake over and over again even though i know i shouldnt have

near drift
glossy crown
#

it's extremely frustrating to get over.

near drift
#

i just learnt to listen to that voice in my head that tells me what im bout to do is stupid as fuck

fair trellis
#

its just tiring that i hit this wall and just cant get over it

#

for this long

alpine trail
#

maybe when your playing ask your self "what would this pro player do?"

glossy crown
#

you're frustrated I get it and it feels like you tried everything and want to hear something new that will fix the problem

near drift
#

id honestly just drop the mouse for a month apart from aim training and use a controller to play some kickass single player titles

#

best way to reset imo

fair trellis
#

done long breaks multiple times

#

all advice so far ive tried

alpine trail
#

maybe you're trying to hard to improve that its tiliting you when you make small mistakes, just try playing for fun and see how that goes

near drift
#

i dont think iv ever played a shooter for fun

#

ever

glossy crown
near drift
#

i cant have fun if im bad

#

and go full tilt

near drift
lethal wraith
#

also bear in mind that some nofill games are literally unwinnable and there's nothing you can do about it

near drift
#

have you tried climbing arenas ranked ladder?

fair trellis
glossy crown
lethal wraith
#

that's not necessarily what I meant about winning

#

like some fights you're just bound to lose

#

1v3 isn't supposed to be winnable at 100% rate

#

not even 1v1 is

glossy crown
#

@fair trellis one thing you can try is practice movement only. I've been watching faide and he has killed a squad by just zone alone from evading and never shooting them/getting the chance to

#

it can be fun and funny and he seems to enjoy it quite a bit and has fun with it a lot

near drift
# near drift have you tried climbing arenas ranked ladder?

@fair trellis im serious about this btw, do something different in the game, might be eye opening.....use weird weapons, legends, new sens, fov.......the only thing that stimulates change when repetiton is past the point of insanity is change

fair trellis
#

ill try it but not very hopeful

near drift
#

fuck hope

not to be rude or anything but most of the advice u gave i tried, yet i see 0 improvement

#

what is it then if not some physical limitation in my bod

#

thats preventing me

grizzled willow
#

Just play with better ppl lmao

#

It rubs off

glossy crown
#

@fair trellis i mean check out hollow, he had fucking severe brain damage and played through it

near drift
#

i know my limiting factors, its my mentality, when i die to a team when i have 5 kills i forget the 5 kills ever happened and focus on the death...i expect myself to be fucking imperial hal when i have less than 1/10 of his playtime on the game lmao

#

its not fucking genetics

lethal wraith
#

are you sure you're not actually improving or do you think you're not improving?

rain marsh
#

Where are u stuck @fair trellis

glossy crown
#

@viscid wraith whats hollow's story about his brain damage i cant remember it exactly

lethal wraith
#

it can seem so, because apex players are actually getting better and better

near drift
alpine trail
#

@fair trellis then focus on improving something like your aim instead of apex. that way the chances of you getting better in apex improve

rain marsh
#

If you don't have the strength to ride thru a plateau then you will never be truly great

glossy crown
#

especially since im at my highest focus for improvement

rain marsh
#

Nah don't be afraid just be happy u got there

Figure out what ur weak st

#

You want ppl to tell u the same meme advice

lethal wraith
#

honestly with where your mindset is I wouldn't be surprised if you would start playing bad after the moment you missed one shot or made one mistake

alpine trail
#

facts

rain marsh
#

Look at ur vods. Is it a gun is it a map is it character.

#

Critically breakdown what went wrong and what maybe 3 different things u could of done have been

glossy crown
#

like deadass im gonna go with what hollow says and literally just play through your problems and fix it 4Head style because nothing we say is going to instantly break your plateau. YOU have to do the work yourself

viscid wraith
#

ive heard him mention it only vaguely

lethal wraith
#

if you're tilted about this, go try tennis or ping pong and then come back

glossy crown
#

like went through the whole thing

lethal wraith
#

at least you will improve your eyesight

glossy crown
#

and how he was able to power through with it

#

it was last year

lethal wraith
#

and hand to eye coordination

viscid wraith
#

sounds similar to what ive done as well, its more common than i was aware

#

ive met a handful of people that overcame similar issues in the fps community

glossy crown
#

straight up though, bootstrap mentality works no where else except for gaming. You are quite literally the only barrier to the success you are wanting to achieve

lethal wraith
#

another thing, you don't have to take a break from apex, but take a break from improving

honestly in the end you can do as much as you can do, but hopefully there are things that can help you get through bad times. Improvement isn't only about getting better at games, but also at life.

ye honestly ow seems p aight rn

you get games sure but everyones kinda going thru the motions i cant say ive played with many "motivated" ow players recently

bruh the liquid squad is driving around in ranked with a fartmobile trident with a rampart on the back

this shits hilarious

basically ye lol

#

low elo overwatch is also quite possibly some of the most negative IQ motherfuckers i have quite literally ever seen in a video game

#

these people have been silver/gold since launch lmfao

#

its like league but theres no broken item you can buy to 1v9 lul

young nacelle
#

It’s also annoying the amount of easy 1 shot stuns, like hook and flash bang,

viscid wraith
#

i know, but i mean approaching it from a point of not being already good at the game is pretty frustrating

#

ive watched a lot of the ur2gms, ik qheu

dreamy spade
#

ive seen people do unranked to GMs in like 8 hours or something crazy

viscid wraith
#

but like, its hard to not call team diff when my mercy pockets the rein who then proceeds to charge off the map into the water trying to hit a tracer

#

i so wish id clipped that

dreamy spade
#

the problem with OW imo is that sometimes its really hard to tell what u are doing wrong especially on a team that sucks. like sometimes u just gotta go int there backline and pray it works cause theres no other way

viscid wraith
#

it wouldve been on a macro to paste that shit

dreamy spade
#

i have the most amazing clip of some guy flaming our dva in broken english and then her saying "can you shut the fuck up?" and it made my fucking week

viscid wraith

i got a few vod reviews from higher ranks in here and im not claiming to be insane at ow

dreamy spade

EU OW players are something else

but its def annoying to approach as a newbie to the game at its current point

dreamy spade

oh for sure

viscid wraith

im not even at 100 hrs yet i think

the game has like compiled

gotta love queueing into ranked to see a d4 0rp with their p4 friend

u just know its gonna be bad

either one is bad or they both bad

im dreading either tryna solo q

i tried 2 games like 2 days ago

#

n hopped straight off

#

mfs tryna 2v3 a team when i said dont push

bc i wasnt with them

#

then says no-one is waiting for me

so dont cry in chat when u die

dumbass

even duo queueing is bad sometimes

duo q aint even that bad

at least u got someone to rely on

i been getting octanes with no comms and no brains just wkeying and instadying

livid cliff
#

2v3 aint hard in dia lobbies ibr

boreal owl
#

it's literally playing 2v3s half the time

#

unless we follow them and at that point we instadie because it's a d4 hardstuck with the plat ego

livid cliff
#

i ratted from 13 squads

#

up until 3 squads

#

knocked 1

#

knocked another

#

then lost my 1v1 to octane w a rampage

#

if he had any other gun he loses

#

but bro has a million bullets

boreal owl
#

i mean thats why if dude doesnt care to listen to comms at all i'll leave the solo be

#

let me and my friend get 2-3 kp and rat

livid cliff
#

2-3 kp and ratting is honestly so viable

rain marsh
boreal owl
#

if it gains elo and the pros do it

#

can't be a losing strategy

livid cliff
#

i didnt say i do it

#

i just said its viable

rain marsh
#

True

boreal owl
#

works when you have a -1

#

legit just get 2kp and stay in end zone lol

rain marsh
#

Don't even go for kp

boreal owl
#

then you will be max kp by end of game

rain marsh
#

Go for position

#

Max kp kinda a meme. You don't need max

boreal owl
#

thing about a lot of solo queuers is they always hard focus kp like it's the only thing that matters

livid cliff
#

bro omg

rain marsh

And I'll still hit it in top 3

boreal owl

-1s on their way

u shoulda saw what i witnessed on mandes screen in a masters lobby

pred yak on kc ezpz

little verge
#

I don't think I'll ever hit Pred.

#

Not that I think I'd even want to grind it with them not even doing shit about the boosting/dashboarding exploits let alone banning the people who do it.

#

Just don't have enough time to outgrind the idiots never getting negative RP.

viscid wraith
#

true im seeing a lot of people complaining how hard it is to maintain rn with how fast its going up between dashboarding and actual cheaters

ocean depot
#

ur telling me

#

people on console can just dashboard and wont lose ranked points?

#

what about PC can they do that??

little verge
#

People who pair with the console player can get that too.

#

Not going to detail how it works, but yeah it revolves around console.

ocean depot
#

how long has that been around?? you'd think they would fix it lol

viscid wraith
#

it re-appears sporadically

ocean depot
#

if that was in overwatch i'd lose a lot of motivation to play

little verge
#

They don't even ban players for doing it, of course they won't actually fix it lol.

ocean depot
#

reappears?? you mean this glitch has been around for a whike

#

thats crazy lol

viscid wraith
#

unfortunately pred tends to be populated by a pretty good amount of well known cheaters or exploiters

#

the anti cheat barely works, and theres single digit members of the dev team doing manual bans lmao

#

theres a couple of names that circulate in pred discords of people that they apparently all know cheat but nothing is done about them

little verge
#

That's a list of some in the recent wave.

viscid wraith
#

i still want to go for pred tho

#

not to maintain but

#

ive never really been the top rank of anything, even in siege i didnt play ranked after they added champs so i technically never hit highest rank

ocean depot
#

i understand what you mean

#

just hitting it just to hit it

#

overwatch had its fair bit of cheaters, also drop hacking was a thing before they lost but it was relatively rare

#

apex sounds a lot more widespread, and in a game with like 66 people thats a huge chance theres a cheater

viscid wraith
#

honestly im prob gonna end up trying to get much better at OW after i "complete" apex in a few seasons lol

#

depending ofc on how the devs keep going

#

id love to stick with apex but dev trends have been sussy

#

for a fat minute now

ocean depot
#

Im the opposite haha i hit GM in overwatch and now im trying to learn apex, ive wanted to learn this game for a while

#

its actually the hardest game ive ever tried to learn, its really fast

viscid wraith
#

you can prob hit masters after 2-3 splits then if you put a little effort in

#

in its current state its piss easy to hit

#

especially if you consider its the 2nd highest fuckin rank in the game lmao

ocean depot
#

damn really?

#

i dont know lol

#

i would have to play a lot more before i can consider that

viscid wraith
#

theres lvl 87s hardstuck 10k

#

legitimate lvl 87s, not smurfs

#

these players hurt my brain watching them play, but if you just play too much you hit masters

#

theres lvl 200s with last seasons plat badge in masters rn

#

actual insanity

#

makes me feel a bit shitty that ive only recently started grinding ranked and in a lot of peoples eyes it doesnt mean much anymore

#

but oh well

ocean depot
#

im at the stage of still learning the game, i dont have any illusions of where i stand, which is the bottom lol

#

my aim is alright but honestly your average apex player has some pretty good aim from what ive played against

#

im pretty surprised

#

Also the fundamentals i need to learn to

#

when to leave when getting third partied

#

when to rotate where

viscid wraith
#

i dont like to complain about it cause its not worth the effort, but within 30m controller is rather egregious

ocean depot
#

when to push

#

oh right i forgot

#

about the aim assist for console, this game has a LOT of console players im realizing

viscid wraith
#

you should play with us in my server whenever youre online bro, lots of good people all trying to get better

viscid wraith
ocean depot
#

what IS roller?

#

people mentioned that a lot

viscid wraith
#

controller input, whether console or pc

ocean depot

is that like some controller addon

viscid wraith
#

its just a nickname

ocean depot

uhh

oh

viscid wraith

cont-roller

ocean depot

is it like

lots of people playing pretty much all the time and everyones dia-ish and trying to improve

i maintain good vibes too so everyones just focused on improvement

ocean depot
#

im not worried about that lol

viscid wraith
#

im masters and i suck ffs

ocean depot
#

its just im legitimately not very good

bright elm
#

so i wouldn't consider the average apex player having "good" aim

ocean depot
#

maybe so, i probably havent played enough to get a good gauge on the skill, i just gotta play more i suppose

smoky talon
#

Avg aim in apex is pretty avg kanyesus

I actually imagine the average aim in Apex is pretty good, because the average person used roller and therefore goated pplaugh

If anyone tells you that you can’t do something or you are not good enough or smart enough, you have a couple of options

it's not worth the pain

yeah but enemy team is bad most of the time, so you can carry

viscid wraith

just faced 2 masters 3-stacks in a row

#

doesnt matter if they suck if theyre hard comming and buying turbo guns

#

especially when my teammates are too busy giggling to each other over open mic to actually play the game lmao

#

the problem isnt even the mentally deficient wastes of oxygen i get on my team, its that this developer continues to not give a single fuck about seperating/prioritizing matching solo and stacked queues

#

despite almost every single other game in the entire fuckin genre doing so lol

#

blows my mind

theyre the best guns in the game only balanced by having to find a turbo

#

in arenas you just fucking buy it

keen yoke

^^^^^^

viscid wraith

and even without a turbo theyre basically on par if not better than the comparable options in early rounds

#

theyre a weapon class only balanced in BR by what was a rare-r ammo pool and a necessary hop up

keen yoke
#

What's funny is that the devo used to be even stronger lol

It's been nerfed like 2-3 times at least
