apex

[mellow kestrel]

but most don't realize

[plucky dust]

Damn

How do we improve on it then?

is there anything more than 'just play'?

[quaint karma]

anyone running last seasons diamond or masters badge is a joke

well, if they think theyre really insane for having that anyways

one of my friends is convinced shes a god or something now because she got to masters

[mellow kestrel]

glad i got masters in s11 and not s12

[quaint karma]

do it this season

[mellow kestrel]

i cba

i just hop on for pubs every now and then

maybe next

[plucky dust]

Why?

[little verge]

Because you could get that badge literally just by ratting and never fighting.

[quaint karma]

@little verge

what

i jsut saw you on

extesyys stream

am i losing it

wtf

gonna rewind lmao

LOL

you type here, im watching a random stream and i see you at the same time

https://i.imgur.com/kBtt4ql.png

what are the odds

@little vergerip you just died

[little verge]

Where was that?

[quaint karma]

https://www.twitch.tv/extesyy

he didnt fight you but the ash on his team said the voiceline thats like 'the champion fell'

[little verge]

Ah, OK.

Yeah, I got a clean knock and my two teammates holding height lost a 2vs1.

[quaint karma]

as they do

[little verge]

Dropped the second guy but then died to the fresh third.

Still, almost Plat III today.

Not bad coming back from demotion yesterday into Gold 1.

[quaint karma]

lovely\

[little verge]

That's why I felt like after S12 they should have full reset.

[quaint karma]

i get the feeling most people dont have the confidence to take any fights

i would jsut leave the team at that point and pretend im playing nofill

https://i.imgur.com/Qbr5YvH.png

[final forge]

s-tier

nice

i also spend a lot of time for my 40bomb but there is no badge yet

[quaint karma]

i wish i had any bronze badges

my lowest is plat

silver would work too

[final forge]

i wish i had a bronze one

i would trade 2 of my animated pred for a bronze one

nah

too much flex

[mossy whale]

i wish

[hollow dune]

I believe in u

[devout tusk]

I think ive killed you in pubs before lol

Recognize your name

I feel like it was kinda recent, like in the past month. You also coulda just been the champs

[little verge]

Actually might be able to solo into diamond. I'd be proud of that honestly.

Way more than solo queue last season into masters lol.

[lusty vault]

jonjenk talking

[dim jasper]

[quaint karma]

i asked

[quaint karma]

https://i.imgur.com/TWPLv2N.jpg

but i know how to clone legends

[sweet bay]

[untold timber]

cuz we need to order dongie put on the apex pred badge and duplicate it into three.

and call himself a pred

thats if he has one of them

surely after 8.8k games he does?

[quaint karma]

lowkey

i think hes just a method actor

just

trolling

he sits on his 1 viewer stream daily

[untold timber]

after 8.8 games

[quaint karma]

pretending everyones a hacker

playing bad all day long

[untold timber]

i dont believe hes trolling

[quaint karma]

coming here and complaiining

[strange thistle]

nah dongie gets too many cheaters to get 4k badge

[untold timber]

we are full on analysing this shit LOL

[quaint karma]

LMAO more aimbotters

IMPOSSIBLE MOVEMENT

[untold timber]

[quaint karma]

the world isnt ready

tbh

respawn sends all the hackers to his lobbies to keep him down

[untold timber]

u rite

[quaint karma]

devotion was purely put into the game to mess with him as well

[spice sierra]

The YouTube thumbnails are the funniest things

[untold timber]

all

dongie

needs

in his life

is whole lotta red

no cap

[quaint karma]

loba on the floor like that

[untold timber]

no cap

[quaint karma]

tbh why does anyone buy hammerpiont re45

far as i know car and r99 have faster dps

[untold timber]

all jokes aside

i need a good devotion skin

[quaint karma]

idk any

im not even sure what skin i got

strangely

[astral pebble]

devotion is on the bottom of my gun tier list

[untold timber]

tbh

[formal harbor]

I just did a 1v1 against a random teammate who was toxic af, bro activated bloodhound ult before the fight and said I was cheating because I used a shotgun 💀

[untold timber]

this is what i have been rocking

[astral pebble]

wouldnt even pick it up if i was dying

[quaint karma]

i have some guns with like 5 legendary skins and some guns with nothing

[untold timber]

LMAO

[quaint karma]

LOL

[quaint karma]

clean tbh ngl

is that just the default

im just waiting for flatline s4 battlepass recolor

dropping soon hopefully

[mossy whale]

ppl think next season

theyll put it in store

[untold timber]

dongie im coming after you

[quaint karma]

you 2 should 1v1

[sweet bay]

[untold timber]

lmao

[sweet bay]

i would pay to watch

[untold timber]

can i go melee only?

XD

[quaint karma]

yes

[untold timber]

XD

[sweet bay]

[quaint karma]

tbh dongie seems much more competent in this stream than these random clips he posts

like the one clip about the supposed hacker

[untold timber]

he seems more competent at times than me

[quaint karma]

he didnt even aim near the enemy

[quaint karma]

real

i didnt realize people ever went to that side of that arenas map

[untold timber]

guys using the gamer dad gun?

LOL

[spice sierra]

I wanna eat h this 1v1

Watch not eat

[quaint karma]

i guess only lower rnaks do that

i was wondering what that side was for

[untold timber]

what rank are u

im guessing dia-masters

[quaint karma]

diamond 4

[untold timber]

sheesh

[quaint karma]

havent really played ranked until today tbh

[formal harbor]

did they ever put a bp skin in the store?

[spice sierra]

This season or previous seasons?

[untold timber]

they mean a recolor

[mossy whale]

they put recolors

[quaint karma]

but im pred master high diamond MMR

for arenas

[untold timber]

am pred in arenas

but thats about it

i suck at br

[sweet bay]

br is rng

[quaint karma]

i think i might go for pred arenas this season

[mossy whale]

a dev confirmed they arleady finished a recolor for the skin

[sweet bay]

[quaint karma]

i was gonna do it last season but

then i didnt

[mossy whale]

but i dont think they add new things in store rotation that soon

it's possible they might just not put it in ever also but it will make a ton of money

[quaint karma]

i could never be br pred

that shit is too much of a grind and like hard as fuck to get to

i know how to play arenas tho

[untold timber]

same tbh

[sweet bay]

i could never be pred

[untold timber]

i dont play br nor am i good at it

[quaint karma]

i used to be like that

[sweet bay]

too much time that to put in that i don't have

[quaint karma]

have been playing a bunch of br tho

getting better

yeah this season is my first 2kd on br

LMAO

[sweet bay]

better than me

[untold timber]

my goal is to get around

[sweet bay]

[untold timber]

100 wins in br

before 1k games

but idk if its possible

well see

[quaint karma]

how many arena kills

[quaint karma]

whats yours

[untold timber]

believe it or not

it isnt alot

[sweet bay]

i suck at this game

[untold timber]

[sweet bay]

i've been playing since launch

[untold timber]

started s7 on ps

[quaint karma]

ive been playing since september last year

[untold timber]

well i played once on release

then moved to pc

s9

[quaint karma]

s10 for me

[spice sierra]

S7 was fun af

[untold timber]

s7 was fun yea

[quaint karma]

s10 was my first season

took a long break like 3 months ago

of like 2 months no apex

[spice sierra]

I played like 2 days season 1, quit came back end of season 7 and beginning o 8

[mossy whale]

arenas at first was so fun

with no mmr

[untold timber]

oh yea

[spice sierra]

Then quit again until like 3 weeks ago and missed all the cool skins

[untold timber]

@quaint karma

i use the same skin

on alot of guns

its like a placeholder

untill i get a good skin

[sweet bay]

i just use whatever skin is good

[spice sierra]

Arenas matchmaking frustrates me, especially when it’s ranked and I get no teammates vs a triple pred stack lol

[untold timber]

when u triple stack

u play against plats

LMAO

and plats in arena are damn awful

[spice sierra]

I don’t have a team to play with 😭

[sweet bay]

i could play

[untold timber]

i gotchu

[spice sierra]

All my irl friends who I did play with long ago get burned out a lot

[untold timber]

[spice sierra]

I’d be down

[sweet bay]

[quaint karma]

@untold timberyoure probably NA right

[untold timber]

eu

[spice sierra]

Im not the BEST

[quaint karma]

[sweet bay]

[sweet bay]

oof

[spice sierra]

Could be now or whenever I’m on a lot literally just message me and if I’m free i get on

[untold timber]

i mean

i got paid 75 euros to do it

im not complaining

[sweet bay]

i could play tomorrow

[spice sierra]

My aim has been fucking ASS today I went from 1.7kd of the season to 1.6

[quaint karma]

wasnt gonna play ranked arenas tbh, i normally just get to diamond 4 and leave it at that but i played with someone earlier because they asked me to

so maybe i should just do arenas pred this season

[untold timber]

honestly tho

if u dont wanna do ranked

[spice sierra]

I’d do it for the badge

[untold timber]

u dont have to

we can just have fun

[spice sierra]

That’s it

[untold timber]

but am down for the grind

its gonna be fun n easy

XD

[sweet bay]

same

[quaint karma]

how long you grind for it

[untold timber]

i played for 2 weeks

8 hrs everyday

after school

[quaint karma]

lmao damn

[spice sierra]

Sheesh

[untold timber]

well

its not rly 8 hrs

[spice sierra]

Eat sleep and breathe apex

[untold timber]

XD

well

it was 3 hrs of game play

and 5

sitting in a vc

w my friends being an idiot

[sweet bay]

[spice sierra]

Lol

[quaint karma]

arena queue times

🐥

[mossy whale]

jjimagine having friends

[sweet bay]

imagine having friends who play apex

[spice sierra]

I just need the aimbot water

[sweet bay]

[quaint karma]

idk i just make friends on apex tbh

[spice sierra]

That’s also relateable

Making friends on apex can be hard cause everybody’s very upset about everything in the game

[quaint karma]

thast not the kind of people you wanna be friends with anyway

[spice sierra]

Ye

Literally some dude was coughing and I was like “u good?” And he just went on a minute rage tangent and I was like !??? Dawg

[sweet bay]

people scream and tell me to shut up

[spice sierra]

I had an arenas game and on the tiebreaker I accidentally made a weird play and this guy yelled “WHY WOULD@YOU —— do that” so loud his mic was clipping 😭😭😭

He was right tho in that moment he was just really mad

[mossy whale]

i swear half the people in apex have shitty mics

the other half are people who use mic on pc

[quaint karma]

i wonde rhow people with such a weak mental get to such high ranks

or maybe they dont

because i dont experience that often

[spice sierra]

dude literally apex br "high ranks" before season 13 was a joke

[mossy whale]

not really

[spice sierra]

there was no reason like 14-15% of the game population should have been d4

[mossy whale]

that was only s12

[spice sierra]

you sure?

[mossy whale]

yes

s11 a little but only because people started playing more i think

[spice sierra]

i remember s8 when i climbed to it, the beginning of the season when i hit it and quit it was like 5% and went to near 10 right?

[mossy whale]

s8 is the only one with official numbers

and it's 5% end

[spice sierra]

well

[mossy whale]

6.2% diamond+

[spice sierra]

i guess I was wrong

can tell people im top 7% now

[mossy whale]

wait actually

it's always 10-15%

but

thats on apexlegendsstatus.com

[quaint karma]

i was more talking about arenas tbh

[mossy whale]

which only shows ppl who search themselves

so the numbers go higher and higher as the site is more well known

[spice sierra]

yee

arenas ranked I havent done much i did placements only

[mossy whale]

season 9-10 was like 7-10% i think but now it says almost 15

[quaint karma]

idk all i know is almost every single enemy i fight seems to have a masters badge

in pubs

[spice sierra]

hmmm i see

[quaint karma]

specifically

from last season

[spice sierra]

I think part of that is just ranked players who used to be masters dont like the new ranked system

[mossy whale]

yeah last season was a ton

[spice sierra]

and just almost all migrated to pubs

hence why the sweat game is now even sweatier

[quaint karma]

theres actually some good masters

[mossy whale]

also why rank distribution rn is meaningless

[quaint karma]

i see a lot of good players in my arena lobbies

and they usually just have master b adges

[mossy whale]

to get masters u usually play enough to have decent mechanics

and want to improve

[spice sierra]

if we are talking about br at least

I think masters and above is like up there good

but previously I think diamond was still too easy and a lot of diamonds arent great, and a lot of us just get to d4 and stop playing or become hardstuck and couldnt demoate

[quaint karma]

diamonds are mostly really bad

[mossy whale]

i mean diamond is just a word

a rank

no one decided what it should be

[quaint karma]

also im convinced a good chunk of the playerbase is actually really bad but is made to seem better than they are by playing controller

and i know someone is gonna come out of the woodworks again telling me nah controller is cool and whatever

but nah that shit is broken

if you spend 500h in apex on mnk or 500 on controller youll be a vastly better player if you play roller

[quartz perch]

Controller and the inherent rng of a br

[spice sierra]

lets be honest

why is every single predator ttv player a controller player

[quaint karma]

idk i dont watch roller streamers other than extessy

[spice sierra]

like anytime i go on they are like "CONTROLLER PLAYER WRECKS MOUSE AND KEYBORAD NOOBS"

[quaint karma]

extesyy

[spice sierra]

I've seen just a LOT more controller than mnk for pred rank

[quaint karma]

im pretty sure more people play on roller than mnk anyways

[quartz perch]

[mossy whale]

yeah a lot more on controller

[quaint karma]

just pay attention to how many people controller loot your box

especially in NA

its probably like 80% or some shit

[quartz perch]

Higher tbh

[quaint karma]

its much easier to get good at roller

anyways

it be that way

[spice sierra]

why dont we just go back to stick and stones for controllers

no mnk or controller

[quaint karma]

as long as those dont have aim assist

[sweet bay]

💀

[quaint karma]

😎

[spice sierra]

aim assisted sticks and stones

[untold timber]

Okay am done laughing

How yall doin

[spice sierra]

bored

[alpine trail]

am i the only one getting a shit ton of ghost bullets with the wingman?

[untold timber]

just got home

@quaint karma

[spice sierra]

[honest heron]

I've seen a 2k and master badge

S12 ofc

[mossy whale]

i mean

even before s12 they could just grind ranked only

so theyre always like the worst possible to be their rank

in their lobbies but enough to rank up

[honest heron]

Yea

+20 to victory

[mossy whale]

i donut think i can get even diamond this season though hm

unless i stop solo qing but that is illegal

[honest heron]

That's fine

Diamond is the real deal now

Hopefully they fix mm soon though

[mossy whale]

idk whats up with mm but i have never been pulled into a diamond+ lobby

from mostly plat 4 some 3

[honest heron]

I've seen diamonds and pred/master in gold lobbies

So idk

[mossy whale]

do u play na

[honest heron]

Ye

[mossy whale]

what time

[honest heron]

I'm from oce

But uh

Late at night for them

[mossy whale]

like rn or later

[honest heron]

Usually earlier

[mossy whale]

hm

[honest heron]

Not super late cos ranked is dead rn

[mossy whale]

thats usually when i play

[honest heron]

But like

As soon as I enter gold we go into these high tier lobbies

[mossy whale]

maybe game knows i suck

do u solo q?

[honest heron]

But derank into silver and they go away

No I play with a stack

[mossy whale]

oh

[honest heron]

But casual, we aren't that good and just play for fun

[mossy whale]

i honestly think 3 stacks get different games than duos/solos

[honest heron]

Very likely

[mossy whale]

i do not remember ever seeing a squad with all same clan tags

[honest heron]

It feels like mm is different for duos and trios as well

Duos feels casual but trios everyone is sweating their balls off

[mossy whale]

i should try trioing at some point just to see

[honest heron]

Very few

[mossy whale]

rn?

[honest heron]

Most in gold or lower

[mossy whale]

like 0 online

charge rifle

oh

i want to see a 3 stack in ranked so i can convince myself im not just in easier lobbies

[honest heron]

Charge rifle + devo

Engage in a bit of tomfoolery

[quasi stone]

kill thief

[ocean depot]

hey

i hear pretty often in this discord that arena has mainly cheaters

is that true?

and if it is

what is the ratio?

like 30% of the games? 50%?

[mossy whale]

ive never seen a cheater in arenas

main problem of higher mmr arenas is everyone goes like meta cheese weapons that no one uses in the actual gamr

[hushed kiln]

in the higher ranks there are more cheaters compared to br

[honest heron]

Devo in BR
Devo in arenas

[ocean depot]

im just asking because i just queued right now and had a pathfinder on my team im pretty sure was cheating, he was just instantly killing 3 people in the beginning of the round and they were clearly fighting back, i reported him but idk if it matters if theres as many cheaters as people say

so i guess im just asking for reference so i know not to waste my time maybe trying ranked because that was kind of worrying

so if i were to play like 10 games of ranked arena

how many of those might have a cheater?

10 games at a time i mean, per session

[stray valley]

Blatant cheaters aren't terribly common, there's a LOT of closet cheaters in arenas though

[ocean depot]

like

people with wall hacks or something?

hmm

[quartz perch]

Probably just controllers

[stray valley]

Yeah lot of waller

[placid root]

2 weeks of not playing and I return to this

[quaint karma]

https://streamable.com/dxhn8u

[placid root]

LMAO

[alpine trail]

It's cause its easier to get a pred badge in arenas than br with cheats I think

[austere glen]

he fell for it

like bro you literally read out his about me

and you still fall for it

[quaint karma]

the mans a method actor who dedicates multiple hours of his life every day just to this then

and hes even in character when no one is watching his stream

reporting people

lol

whaaaat

dongie's the best apex player there is

most watched

best kd

best winrate

#dongiesweep every game

you're just jealous

which is why you're hating

dongie's out here in the trenches fighting all the hackers of the world and you laugh at him...

[viral goblet]

whats the differnce between the hollow x voltaic aimlab routine and the vt apex essentials routine?

like is one better then the other or?

[fringe girder]

🐧

[hushed kiln]

1st of all congrats on hitting arena pred but I wondered how you win so many games with that average dmg

[quaint karma]

means the games dont take many rounds

[hushed kiln]

oh I didnt think of that

mad impressive

[untold timber]

Just win every rd

[alpine trail]

carried or 6 manned

😭

[hot crow]

I'm hardstuck plat solo q

It's just impossible to solo to diamond this season

[mossy whale]

just wait till last week

then grind

if you cant make it then u cant

i tjink that will be easiest way

[hot crow]

It just feels impossible when you are basically guaranteed to run into a masters stack

And you have 2 randos with no sense of rotations and positions and ignore advice in game. They get knocked, you have to rat it becomes impossible

[mossy whale]

i never go against stacks in solo q for some reason

[hot crow]

Respawn is basically saying we want you to duo or trio exclusively if you want to get high rank

[stray valley]

In a game that's meant to be very heavily team based i find it a little silly to expect to hit high ranks solo
Hot take

[hot crow]

Which is fine but I have no friends lmao

I agree fr0gs it was just enjoyable for me cause I'm a boomer and don't have partners to queue with

But I could still solo to a high rank

Oh well I'll hit up the apex discord I guess and find a duo partner

[stray valley]

I think you're approaching it the wrong way personally

Edging diamond solo is going to be respectable now, same way hitting masters was before

[hot crow]

For sure

But brain says if I'm not high diamond I'm not good

Has anyone solo'd to pred this season?

[mossy whale]

yes

[stray valley]

Mande is the only I'm aware of but there's certainly been others

[little verge]

Yeah, honestly even hitting Plat 3 solo queue has felt more rewarding than any of the previous seasons.

[mossy whale]

some guy hit masters solo q like several weeks ago

and then another too

[little verge]

If I hit negative RP, it feels like there's an easily identifiable reason instead of just "we got zerged by five teams GG go next"

[mossy whale]

back when pred was just masters

[stray valley]

Going solely based off rp values, plat is like 50% higher than diamond was before. So you sort of technically are :)

Unless I'm mistaken d4 was 8000 before

[little verge]

7200 IIRC

[stray valley]

D4 is now just under 12000

[mossy whale]

2000 more than old masters lol

but u also start with more rp

[little verge]

But yeah, getting 8k plus RP on a far more discerning system is good. There's like 0.5% diamonds unlike previous seasons of nearly 15%

[viral goblet]

Hey guys, what's the difference between the 2 apex aim lab routines? Is one better then the other?

[torpid kindle]

tips for bloodhound ? i am just kinda sitting back and pressing q when i am unsure where opponents are and hear a lot of movement
i dont really come up with a gameplan to frag out and my octane just wingmans everyone lololol

[mossy whale]

u spam in fights otherwise just use it when entering chokes or buildings

u just play normally otherwise

or do snipedown method where you slow walk everywhere like a bot then beam everyone

[torpid kindle]

i am only playing unranked arenas w my friends

i been learning

to play less aggro

[mossy whale]

arenas well

just dont play arenas i think

[torpid kindle]

brs…

☹️

i do not want to be jumpmaster

[mossy whale]

just give it to teammates

they will hot drop

or just hot drop yourself because thats the only thing that happens in pubs

or play ranked

[torpid kindle]

no we are all noobs we have under 20 hours

lmfao..

[mossy whale]

arenas is probably liek the worst mode ever i think

[torpid kindle]

its so funny

my friends play tac shooters like val so they enjoy the tracking friendliness of apex

arenas

um but the br mode is frightening for me

[mossy whale]

u just play pubs like tdm

winning doesnt matter at all

in pubs

cuz the easiest way to get like 2nd in pubs is just afk in middle of nowhere

[torpid kindle]

pfft

yeah i remember the first time we duo’d a br

got third partied

and got res’d in the storm

[near drift]

nice shots

[near drift]

what are their names?

theres a bunch on AL, all made by different people/ groups

[viral goblet]

the ones pinned in here, hollow x voltaic and voltaic essentials

[near drift]

well there is this really good apex aimer called hollow, he collaborated with voltaic to make a routine in AL, i dont know the specifics but i assume he has some monetary gain when people play the routine, then the voltaic essentials is a playlist the vt team think will help you get better at apex.
They are both good i play them both, just pick one or play both to train.

[lusty vault]

The first scenario in the hollow AL playlist in my opinion is terrible

So I’ve never made it further than that

[spice sierra]

Che

[wintry cypress]

i dont even remember what scen that was lmao

[graceful orbit]

sheeeesh

[ocean depot]

apex...

is the best...

[wintry cypress]

best fps game!!

[silver summit]

21cm is considered fast right?

[little verge]

20-40cm is fine. Nothing crazy fast.

[graceful orbit]

28 and 24 are goated

[wintry cypress]

idk 20 is pretty fast imo

[mossy whale]

34 to 21 is a huge jump as well lol

[wintry cypress]

yup

even 25 to 20 felt completely different for me

[astral pebble]

completely rekt by being bad at the video game

that guy was very obviously hacking

[alpine trail]

Facts theres no way he was able to hit you in a static motion like that

[astral pebble]

https://clips.twitch.tv/DignifiedDelightfulTarsierKlappa-CAbPq0aq0fVHEFir how is it they're able to hit every shot from 200m away lol. totally NOT HACKING

[kind nova]

dongie

[astral pebble]

hello good sir

[kind nova]

you're standing out in the open, mostly still

You can literally see the bullets missing 😭😭

[untold timber]

lmaoaoao

i cant

[spice sierra]

Yeah you’re right, they hit dongle with only headshots 400m away with r9

Respawn pls fix

[astral pebble]

roooflllllll. those guys were in my match

[spice sierra]

Were they hackers?

[astral pebble]

no, i never get hackers as teammates or else I'd have like 100 wins this season

they always die before me

[spice sierra]

Yeah dongie just better 💪

[near drift]

bro

i thought it was only me

wtf is that scen, how do people have 3k on that

maybe its bugged idk

[lusty vault]

it might be

its very bad

[near drift]

horrible

i used to tell myself im somehow just dog at reactive

till i monitored the top weekly scores

shits bugged no way

[near drift]

kindaclose fast strafes

[mossy whale]

saw someone say on reddit i htink they have 2nd

that it used ot be bugged

so scores were omega inflated back then

[fair trellis]

anyone here that got out of repeating the same mistakes would appreciate tips

done a lot, game reviews, focusing on not autopiloting, changing playstyle

pretty much all

[alpine trail]

im hardstuck bronze

any tips on how to get out?

[astral pebble]

yo kiku did you ragequit here and come back

what's with teh new discord sign

[fair trellis]

yes i tried to reset my mental from all games for a bit at an attempt to stop making same mistakes 24/7

but didnt work once again

[astral pebble]

haha

just like I wish I'd get banned from apex

save myself from getting hacked every single day

[near drift]

whats the mistake

[fair trellis]

everything

even if i focus on a certain area like positioning

full mental effort

doesnt work

[mossy whale]

how much playtime

[fair trellis]

2k

[mossy whale]

u main ranked?

[astral pebble]

oh crap i forgot to screenshot my 1700 hours. looks like im at 1708 now

[fair trellis]

nah i play both

[mossy whale]

how much time u spend in ranked

[fair trellis]

idk whats the relevance?

[mossy whale]

pubs positioning doesnt matter

[fair trellis]

yes it does

or u take strafe fights out in the open?

[twin drift]

i got shaky aim but it getting better

[near drift]

can i see your stats? some mfs be too hard on themselves

if you dont want to show thats fine

i just think saying you dont get anything right after 2k hours seems kinda weird

who do you typically main? tell me the chars you have the most time in

[astral pebble]

as someone with 1700 hours in-game I can absolutely guarantee you the character does NOT matter

maybe some SMALL bias when you have a fatfuck char that takes extra damage or whatever but I think even respawn gave up on trying to balance that and just made them all same

[near drift]

nah

for positioning

it does

i aint gonna play a wraith or a bang

the same way i play seet

seer

so who do you main

if you typically play shit that has get out of jail free cards

maybe try to put sometime into people that cant get out for free

like fuse or somn

its gonna suck but you will def play cover more

one thing i learnt back in d2 after playing hunter(get out of jail free dodge) for most time, if you play stuff that cant just run away when you get caught out then you would be more conscious about not playing like an idiot

[torpid obsidian]

What if they used a 3x or smth

You are also usign a 1x on sentinal and just sittin out in the open

[quartz perch]

No

they're cheating

[torpid obsidian]

Oh

Your right

Mb

[spice sierra]

dont ever question dongie's skill agian

[torpid obsidian]

Mb im new here

[kind nova]

It definitely does matter what character you play

hitbox and kit are super influential in how your playstyle develops

[astral pebble]

hit box doesn't matter if you're up against hackers

[kind nova]

nothing matters if you think everyone you're playing against is a hacker

played 11 hours yesterday and didn't come up against a single cheater

[spice sierra]

the hackers just know dongie is too good

they toggle it on

[kind nova]

right

[quartz perch]

Bro

how much hp does that dumb fucking gibby shield have

[kind nova]

75 I think?

it's 50

[near drift]

its 50

[quartz perch]

Why

Is it in the game

[kind nova]

because fuck you

that's exactly what the devs were thinking

[quartz perch]

I lost the easiest 1v3 of my entire life earlier because that fat fuck has that shield

So dumb

[near drift]

i mean for how ez he is to hit

i think its ok

if theres an issue with gibby its bubble

[quartz perch]

Literally just give him an extra 25hp

[kind nova]

only issue is fortified

at least you don't get punished when you hit wing headshots anymore

but helmets nerfed that a bit anyway

[quartz perch]

How about they just remove him

[kind nova]

yea

[quartz perch]

Seems like the best option tbh

and all the other defensive heroes

[kind nova]

it's been my take for awhile that the moment they added wattson was the moment they messed up the game

both competitively and casually

since it encouraged the rat in a corner playstyle

and shit players embraced that

then they buffed caustic and added rampart

least fun fights are against teams playing like it's COD zombies

not that they're really difficult to wipe

just a nuissance

[quartz perch]

wattson and the caustic

right rampart exists too

[lavish perch]

why any idea why they dont bring back the control gamemode?

[spice sierra]

literally gibby was fine

with the gunshield considered

but 15% fortified means with red its 225 +15% + 50

and it used to only break and eat a whole kraber shot and not get to ehalth

[kind nova]

yup

the headshot damage reduction was brutal too

cuz you're either dumping 50 more damage in order to crack/down him, or getting lesser valued headshots

which aren't the easiest shots to hit

[spice sierra]

i mean the issue came more from how it was designed with earlier game stuff

cause season 1 it was no red armor and no evo (mostly) so it would be 200hp without fortified

and the headshot nerf wasnt as present

[kind nova]

true

[spice sierra]

so if you think about it

[kind nova]

forgot red evo didn't exist

[spice sierra]

OTHER game issues meant it was 250hp tops

not 315 about + headshot nerf

[kind nova]

plus no reg chance

can barely one clip a gibby to the body with a full car mag

I dont even try anymore because of the reg

[quasi stone]

Just turn off damage numbers and feedback and you won’t notice the no regs

[kind nova]

LOL
