apex

[mellow kestrel]

whenever you die or throw

when trying to get better

essentially the same thing without the reviewing a vod part lol

though for a lot of ppl clipping and reviewing vods helps a lot

[alpine trail]

I think it doesn't hurt to try at least a few times right

I will try to see if it helps me at all

If not I can always stop doing it

Thanks a lot for the answer dude

Much appreciated

[mellow kestrel]

for sure you might aswell try it

having someone better than you do a vodreview on you can help a ton tho

[frank topaz]

now what

[placid root]

I started trying not to panic when there's someone on me and I'm low

Just throwing random clips in here 💀

[simple narwhal]

@mellow kestrel you can get them banned

[mellow kestrel]

how? i reported ingame atleast

[simple narwhal]

theres probably someone u can email

[mellow kestrel]

yeah was thinking about it but honestly not gonna bother going out of my way just to get them banned

its cringe but w/e

[covert sentinel]

is it bad to use wingman + pk over flatline + pk

[distant hill]

wingman is broken asf so if u can hit ur shots then why not

its just hard to aim with and has bullet drop

[wicked river]

Normally it's havoc pk but yk

[covert sentinel]

thanks

what about smgs? I feel like they're not as good as pk

or is it just a controller thing to use them

[distant hill]

pk does massive damage too but its also easy to miss with

🙂

[wicked river]

Car and volt are playable

The rest are mimir

[vital rock]

Nice no link preview

[wicked river]

L no embed

Diffed

[distant hill]

r99 car and volt all very good smgs

[vital rock]

Miss ground volt

[distant hill]

alternator has lower ttk and prowler falls off at mid-long range

[vital rock]

All energy guns are ass right now for coverage

[wicked river]

R99 is cool but car is just better

[distant hill]

havoc sucks unless u have turbo

[vital rock]

Ya 9 is ass too

[distant hill]

its basically the same thing

[vital rock]

Car is just way better

[wicked river]

Yes but actually no

[vital rock]

As a huge 9 enthusiast I have to disagree

[wicked river]

R99 when you're missing 120 light after 2 seconds

[wicked river]

Not for you smh

[vital rock]

Car just shits on the 9 with the exception for mid range

And at that point might as well shoot an AR

[wicked river]

Who r99s at mid range the fuck

[vital rock]

Gigachads like me

[distant hill]

everyone

[vital rock]

You don’t wanna see my 125 9 spray from 50m

[wicked river]

And actually hits

[distant hill]

r99 and car have no recoil if u smooth

its just the damage drop off

[proven pulsar]

omg its hundredz

big fan

[wicked river]

Midrange is too far for smoothing

[distant hill]

what is midrange to u

[vital rock]

[wicked river]

Far enough for smoothing to not work

[distant hill]

lol

[vital rock]

R9 just doesn’t work idk what it is

No one is using it in comp or high ranked

[wicked river]

Le why

[vital rock]

It’s phased out

[distant hill]

ur trolling

car is in crafter

[vital rock]

Ya I’m trolling totally not playing both of those on the regular

[distant hill]

r99 is the alternative

[proven pulsar]

hundredz carry me to pred pretty please

[wicked river]

Craft wingman car on drop

Ggez

[vital rock]

R99 is what u use when u didn’t have enough to make the car cus it’s backpack week

And u couldn’t find an alternator

[distant hill]

alternator slaps ngl

[vital rock]

No one is using the 9 trust me

[wicked river]

Imagine not murking someone for their bp

[vital rock]

I don’t think a single death recap had a 9 the past week

[distant hill]

i dont think a single death recap had a car the past week

[vital rock]

Ya cus you’re in gold

[wicked river]

I craft car in gold 😭

[vital rock]

You’re smoking doinks if you think 9 > car

[wicked river]

When I don't get r3

[covert sentinel]

is pk worse in high elo where players have better movement?

[vital rock]

I even see cars in black markets

[wicked river]

I just want mastiff and volt back on floor

[wicked river]

Pk is mandatory

[distant hill]

car>9 but u can pick up the r99 anywhere

[vital rock]

It’s that good

[wicked river]

High elo makes pk better

[stray valley]

🙏

[wicked river]

You aren't getting sustained damage off in cqb

[vital rock]

Ya but I only use the 9 to carry attachments for my 301 or car

[wicked river]

You're peaking 1 shot and back

[covert sentinel]

so smg pk?

[vital rock]

No even stronger cus of bubble/knock shields

AR/marksman/sniper + car/pk is meta rn

[distant hill]

pk is just op cuz u can fight in bubble and duck into cover

play knockdown shields ez

[vital rock]

Obviously not counting care package guns

[distant hill]

mastiff is just insane

[vital rock]

Anyways like and RT my post pls

[wicked river]

Ar pk

[covert sentinel]

thanks

[distant hill]

whats better, flat or spit

[wicked river]

Always take mastiff if you see it

[wicked river]

The one you find

[distant hill]

im asking for ur opinion

@wicked river

[wicked river]

Neither I suck with both

[covert sentinel]

last question, if i don't really like macro in fps games and i just wanna shoot, should i just pick wraith? or what about bloodhound

[distant hill]

so u use havoc?

[wicked river]

No

R3

If I suck with flatty how the fuck would I use havoc

[distant hill]

wdym macro

[wicked river]

Literally anyone

Just pick someone and shoot

[covert sentinel]

idk if im' using the right word but like abilities and things u have to use well/correctly

[distant hill]

lol

[covert sentinel]

like horizon black hole or something

[distant hill]

use whoever

[wicked river]

Bruh

[distant hill]

just use ur brain

[wicked river]

Vacumn is Literally just throw it at them

Throw arc star

[covert sentinel]

that's the problem bro

[wicked river]

Forget it exists

[distant hill]

apex is brain>aim

[wicked river]

Because they probably just break your vacuum in 2 frames

Or die

Vacumn is just an actually good mirage decoy or a nuke

[quasi stone]

if everyone could stop ratting/if footstep audio could start working seer wouldnt need to be meta

[smoky canyon]

is there a reason to do any of the static kovaaks scenarios over the ones in the strafe aim focus playlist?

[oak veldt]

did any of u guys solo q from bronze to somewhere not bronze, it feels really hard this season unless everyone just got really good

[honest heron]

Bronze to gold is pretty much free, once you hit plat people start to put up a bit more of a fight

It can be hard in soloq because randoms just don't listen but all you really need is to just get a couple of kp and afk in zone until endgame, this works for a really long time

[wicked river]

Sea Gold isn't free solo

[honest heron]

like up to gold i mean sworce

not gold - plat

cos once you're in gold you get plats in the lobby

[wicked river]

I didn't even get plats till gold 1

[quaint karma]

@honest heron

[wicked river]

All diamond trail gold 4s tho

[rigid comet]

Lfg gold be good na

[honest heron]

I get them a lot because I q with nosh here

hi nosh

[quaint karma]

might play now

just woke up

[honest heron]

i am on the kovaak rn but i will play fs when i am done

i slacked off yesterday LOL

[wicked river]

Kovook

[quaint karma]

😤

[honest heron]

also i got like a week off

so we can grind a lot

[quaint karma]

damn

perfect

i wanna get to master tbh

[honest heron]

me too but idk if i can lmao

i've never pushed ranked hard before so i don't know what that level of resistance feels like

[quaint karma]

yeah idk i never ranked beyond diamond 4 and lobbies in gold were already harder than diamond 4 lmao

it’s also a lot more rp to cover

[wicked river]

Me uninstalling after gold 4

[quaint karma]

gold is a breeze with a duo tbh

randoms are mostly braindead

[honest heron]

yeah

we are bing chilling

had some funny randoms yesterday, absolute bots that didn't comm or ping and solo pushed teams

[quaint karma]

can’t ever follow a random anywhere

again

i’m pretty sure that got us killed 9/10 times

[honest heron]

yeah hahaha]

[wicked river]

You should follow the randoms I get

W key into stage 4 zone

[oak veldt]

I don't know how to even get to gold to start

I don't hot drop and I try to wait till top 10

[honest heron]

Land somewhere uncontested or with little action, preferably with crafting, find a beacon, scan it, head to zone

Get some kp along the way

predict round 3 zone and just afk there

[oak veldt]

How do I make sure I can actually secure the kp and not just end up with like 500 dmg which does nothing

When my teamates try to ape or like uh don't follow

[wicked river]

That's the best part

Pray.

[honest heron]

Use comms and pings effectively, make sure you're on the same page as them

If you see an easy third, let them know what you plan on doing

[wicked river]

Just make sure you don't get my teammates and you're good

[honest heron]

Most important thing is that you actually comm

If you are silent they won't listen to you much

[grand blaze]

He's na 😔 playing against all rollers

[chilly dawn]

hot drop and kill everyone

[oak veldt]

id rather not

[oak veldt]

ill work on this

[wicked river]

https://streamable.com/ect9j0 be these guys

[honest heron]

honestly man i'd get a duo if you can

soloq isn't worth it at all

[oak veldt]

i have no one to play with

[chilly dawn]

this season isn't worth it at all

[wicked river]

Same

[chilly dawn]

boring ass guns

[wicked river]

So I just griefed qhue to duo with me

[oak veldt]

see u guys can do that, i cant

[wicked river]

Just go lfg

[oak veldt]

ive had bad experiences with lfg in the past for other games

i dont totally trust the people in those servers

[wicked river]

Neither

It's why I abuse valk

Or rampart

[oak veldt]

yeah i have been using valk, easy rotation with ult and good passives

Idk maybe if I can kill every squad I see I can climb

Cuz the way it looks if you have a decent squad you can climb a game like this much much faster than say val

[honest heron]

you don't need to int everyone to climb fast

you gain hundreds of rp for a decent amount of kp and top 3

[alpine trail]

the "skill" distribution still feels a bit wonky even with ranked updates

early split grind will always be a lot tougher than towards end of the split

[honest heron]

it's definitely way easier than last split

[alpine trail]

yeah my point is just like

playing plat lobbies rn is lot of masters stacks/smurf accounts helping their friends boost to diamond

[honest heron]

yeah i getchu

[alpine trail]

clear line drawn of the skill level in gold lobbies vs plat rn

at least what i felt like, was actually getting punished much harder for mistakes

[honest heron]

yeah i agree

gold felt pretty standard, plat i have to think a lot more about what i do

but the mechanical skill of players hasn't gone up much

[alpine trail]

ye

its mostly rolla anyway xd

[honest heron]

just can't do dumb stuff

true lol

na is just

rollers

all the time

[alpine trail]

which is fine imo

but people definitely play to their strengths a lot better as you go up

[honest heron]

yeah fs

[oak veldt]

Getting top 3 in ranked is hard in the first place

[alpine trail]

do you comm with your teammates

[oak veldt]

I bit

[alpine trail]

i know sometimes they just mute their party/dont even say or listen to anything

[honest heron]

eh

it can be

depends

[alpine trail]

you just have to have your team in sync p much

[honest heron]

if you play the zone right and go for good positioning early

it's not too hard

[alpine trail]

or playing edge of zone works too

[honest heron]

yeah

but you need to pay more attention that way

lots of people forget the sting of round 4 until they're in it

[oak veldt]

Ok so basically all I gotta do is
Get a good landing spot and not get ganged up on
Make it to top 10
Kill someone
Repeat

[honest heron]

a squad wipe is enough

but be on the lookout for easy thirds

lots of people playing edge can get caught with their pants down

[oak veldt]

When should I push a 3rd, when we have say high ground advantage or just whenever

[alpine trail]

I either like to direct contest with 1-2 teams around, if there is a lot of teams in one POI I'll go to the one next to it, loot and 3p the fights

[honest heron]

when they're low, you can sandwich them, or you have another significant advantage

yeah that works

[alpine trail]

I like to do it when you know they're fighting and there's some knocks down

[honest heron]

I didn't suggest contesting cos he is low elo and prob isn't comfortable with that

but it's def worth it early on

[alpine trail]

one or two people knocked in the fight usually a good sign to push

[oak veldt]

My issue with the lots of poi and rotating is that my teamates probably won't listen and run

[alpine trail]

it wont always work but like i said before if you can comm to your teammates like

lets loot this place fast and get ready to 3p at X poi

[quaint karma]

wym by that

[alpine trail]

that way hopefully they dont run to the total opposite side

[oak veldt]

I've had quite the few toxic people experiences

Also unrelated question but what kd do u guys have this season

[honest heron]

like

0.9

kd literally doesn't matter though

[alpine trail]

for ranked i think like 3.something

[oak veldt]

Ok cuz I have a 0.8 something and I was wondering if that were low

[honest heron]

i don't secure a lot of kills myself

i don't go for them, just more of a support player really

[alpine trail]

I'm gibby main but playing with another person who's maining gibb

so been playing other legends/more aggro/movement based

[honest heron]

that and i'm just bad at the game

well

not bad

but not great

[alpine trail]

I'm also at 1k hours

[honest heron]

good enough to climb though

[alpine trail]

and 500 kovaak

[honest heron]

yeah i have less than 500 in apex

which is barely anything

all things considered

[oak veldt]

I just play movement and Intel characters
Oh I have like 200 hours in apex only lol

[alpine trail]

i have this old screenshot

[oak veldt]

Woah

[alpine trail]

I started apex and kovaaks at the same time

[wicked river]

Imagine having more than 100

[quaint karma]

i have 1500

[honest heron]

a lot of it is afk/range/casual

[quaint karma]

[oak veldt]

Perhaps by the time I'm at 500 kvk hours and 500 apex hours I become good like you

[wicked river]

I have 90

Or 60

Idk

[alpine trail]

its been mostly lower mmr games but

this is my ranked stats as of rn

since i was inactive had to play out of bronze xd

[oak veldt]

That jump is massive

[alpine trail]

ye

i had one with the ranked stats comparison too

[quaint karma]

are yuo playing with a 3 stack

[wicked river]

Imagine 3 stacking

[quaint karma]

thats gonna skew kd upwards

[alpine trail]

ye it is 3 stack

im always playing ranked in 3 stack p much

but good bit of those games were just as duo too

keep in mind its playing out of bronze so ofc KD much higher

if all those games started gold+ my KD would be much lower

[oak veldt]

My ranked kd is uh
Let's not talk about it

[alpine trail]

I just used KD as a soft metric of general improvement

like in 1000 games if my average kills/dmg is going up significantly, seemingly I am getting better

[honest heron]

it's a fine metric

but some people obsess over it

it's weirf

[alpine trail]

this was my lifetime stats on August 16 2021

[oak veldt]

Like I can track people better thanks to the power of kvks
But killing them is the hard part

[honest heron]

i suck at confirming kills as well

i can put out a lot of damage though

[alpine trail]

it all depends on the situations but generally

if you get somebody so low that they're effectively out of the fight

the other two will (seemingly) be holding attention/presence while their teammate tries to heal

its all about pushing advantages, but not so much so that you give it up

Like if you get somebody to 1hp, you do not need to insta push total ape brain get the kill

[wicked river]

Or ape you

[alpine trail]

you're in advantage state then

can take that opportunity to reposition or apply pressure

[honest heron]

yeah

[alpine trail]

the sick thing about apex is you can have huge influence in a fight without even firing a bullet

[wintry scroll]

"When a measure becomes the objective, the measure ceases to be a good measure."

[honest heron]

yeah

[oak veldt]

So just play it like they are knocked, go for the other teamates if no need to thirst for shield swap

[alpine trail]

yes like

[honest heron]

yeah exactly right tak

[alpine trail]

okay this person has to use a bat, phoenix kit

they will be out of the fight for a good amount of time

you also have to keep in mind your team's health pool

[honest heron]

my strengths lie more in winning the fight overall

[alpine trail]

If you get someone 1hp

[honest heron]

than getting all the knocks

[alpine trail]

and your teammates both cracked/lower hp

you dont want to ape, don't have solid support since your team will have to heal too

[oak veldt]

My strengths lie in being able to do more damage

[alpine trail]

really basic clip/fundamental thing

teammate is holding their attention/they are not focused on me whatsoever

allows me to get free shots

[oak veldt]

Ok but that aim

[honest heron]

wingman is rng anyway

[alpine trail]

wingman is best gun

[oak veldt]

Just like my life

[honest heron]

its so good

i love using it honestly

[grand blaze]

oxy what time is it where you are

[oak veldt]

I just stopped using wingman since crafter

[honest heron]

3:41pm

[grand blaze]

Oh

normal time

[oak veldt]

2am moment

[little verge]

Yeah, wingman is so fun but honestly fuck having to craft one.

Unless I'm playing ranked and landing uncontested on a craft site, I'm probably not likely to craft one.

[alpine trail]

ye sucks to have to craft it rn

but mozam is so good with hammer

[honest heron]

car is still insane too

i need to craft it more

[wicked river]

Real aus player

[alpine trail]

This whole time I thought those yellow roles were grandmaster rank

Did not know they made gold rank

[wicked river]

You fuck

[alpine trail]

I mean there's been many good aimers picking up apex and they are really strugglin early

[quaint karma]

apex will humble you

[wicked river]

Apex when it introduces you to dead sliding

Very enjoyable

[alpine trail]

Deadslides are the best

[honest heron]

apex is just so complex

[alpine trail]

You go from feeling like you're hot shit shmovin and groovin

To a total noob in one input

[honest heron]

there's so much to learn before you're "good" at it

[alpine trail]

Ya esp if you haven't played many BRs

This was my first br game and fps after like 6-7 years

Used to be csgo andy

[little verge]

What years of short TTK and tac FPS does during an FPS dry spell

[honest heron]

Going back to arcade shooters after grinding apex a lot is so weird

Like

They're so easy

[wicked river]

Me playing battlebit

Can't use deagle for shit

[honest heron]

Just smurf in bad business

[grand blaze]

factual

[alpine trail]

Do you guys hella enjoy playing apex

[grand blaze]

I enjoy it

Most of the time

[alpine trail]

Not to say its literally fun no matter what t

It actually feels like best fps available atm for me

[wicked river]

I enjoy getting griefed by my teammates

[honest heron]

It has its ups and downs

for the most part I enjoy it a lot

[wicked river]

Replicator bug

[honest heron]

But it makes me sad

Because I can see what this game could be

And it's not that

[alpine trail]

Even with all the bugs and problems

I love this shit so much

[honest heron]

crafter bug was fixed yesterday

[grand blaze]

thank fuck

[wicked river]

Why did it even exist in the first place

[honest heron]

I'll periodically take breaks from apex to play other shooters

[grand blaze]

respawn hates apex players obviously?

[honest heron]

I get burnt out sometimes

[wicked river]

No apex august be like

[honest heron]

But I'm having a blast grinding ranked with nosh rn

[alpine trail]

burnout is real

[grand blaze]

fake

everyones still gonna play

[honest heron]

I don't have what it takes to be pred

Like skill aside

[smoky talon]

Skill issue

[grand blaze]

Time?

[honest heron]

I don't think I could play the game that much and not get burnout

[wicked river]

Cream dodging me for csgo

[honest heron]

That's kinda what separates the pros from a lot of good players

[smoky talon]

Not really but sure

[honest heron]

They're just way more dedicated

[smoky talon]

Not even dodging

[wicked river]

Fuck you I'm saying you dodged

[smoky talon]

Okay I will then

Np

[wicked river]

Bruhe

[grand blaze]

yeah if I wanted to go pro I would have to play everyday trying to get better

instead I just want to get good enough to enjoy the game

and fuck around

[wicked river]

Fuck around n find out

[grand blaze]

[smoky talon]

I do that

[wicked river]

I should get a razer seiren tho

Love my phone disconnecting mid ranked game

[honest heron]

its worth

i have one

[little verge]

Yeah, Apex is super disappointing and agonizing to play but it's also the only populated FPS with good movement and long TTK so I endure.

[patent bramble]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

How I survived this is beyond me xD

This game is stupid lmao

need to freaking work on my vertical-to-ground track

falling behind by millimeter

[quaint karma]

time to adjust your sens to 35.9

[patent bramble]

Nope

Good enough for me

changing that much is literally nothing lmao

I won't even feel the change

[patent bramble]

Why you still talking about sens? lmao

Of all the thing you got from that, you grabbed that sentence

[wicked river]

Tfw apex mobile has eva and devo in pack

[alpine trail]

this is good mentality

[wicked river]

Nah better mentality

Get good enough to grief controller kids in every situation and gaslight em on twitter

Peak mnk gameplay

[foggy surge]

POV: Winner

[solemn haven]

Shader injection is cool

https://streamable.com/oa6rhj

[maiden sentinel]

how you get that crosshair

[quaint karma]

reshade

[mellow kestrel]

same here

i get master really free if i actually play ranked

i could def get pred with 1-2 friends but never without getting extremely bored of the game

[placid root]

Teammate peeks with 1hp

[alpine trail]

pubs

who curs

[mellow kestrel]

can't say i enjoy it as much anymore but it def easily still beats like all other FPS lol

[alpine trail]

ye

i took a long break from the game because of my hand

probably why im so happy to be playing again

[wicked river]

love no regging in firing range

[alpine trail]

i was so confused in this clip

oh my god i found the roller god clip

[mellow kestrel]

i took a break too basically entire s12 except for when control was in

like 2 months

[alpine trail]

ye

straightu p dude i feel like

games at highest level competitive play

just became way less fun

lol

[mellow kestrel]

yeah

[wicked river]

gibby controller 💀

[alpine trail]

LMAO

it was my first time on roller

[wicked river]

banned

[mellow kestrel]

you can just tell when the AA kicks in XD

[alpine trail]

dude how tf do we even play this game

[mellow kestrel]

i asked myself that yesterday

found no other conclusion than there not being any other decent FPS

that isnt low ttk

[alpine trail]

its such a sick game

[wicked river]

pain and suffering

[mellow kestrel]

indeed

[alpine trail]

feels so good to play

[mellow kestrel]

the concept and feel of the game is golden

truly

which is why its the best BR

[wicked river]

my best is 155

hlep

[alpine trail]

use charge rifle

[wicked river]

shut

[alpine trail]

rate this bubble scrub xd

[mellow kestrel]

though it def suffers from the lack of fixes and stuff that all other games that fit this criteria does

[alpine trail]

other games even with their fixes are shit anyways

this game nails general feeling/movement when playing and that's enough imo

even with all the problems

its always going to be the best

[wicked river]

gun shield won you that fight change my mind

[alpine trail]

nope

disagree

[mellow kestrel]

loba's mad

thats for sure

[wicked river]

apex.

[mellow kestrel]

XD

now shit like that^

that is what makes apex unenjoyable

[alpine trail]

visual clutter?

[mellow kestrel]

apex with visual clarity + working audio + a permanent mode with a real objective = perfect game

[alpine trail]

i used to be such a crackhead

[wicked river]

im tryna tell if that was the arm shield break effect or not

=/

[mellow kestrel]

also balancing inputs etc but yeah

[alpine trail]

i think it was sworce

arm shield definitely won me that fight lol

[wicked river]

busy going blind

[mellow kestrel]

@alpine trail ive fully derusted after taking a break but i notice myself lacking a lot of confidence ingame

a lot of times

[wicked river]

solo duo singapore time

probs 0 players but whatever

[alpine trail]

same

its exactly that

[mellow kestrel]

like if i were to just relax i'd oneclip easily and win

but i get stressed for no reason and whiff instead

[alpine trail]

visual clutter you say ?

[mellow kestrel]

just need to work on that tbh

[wicked river]

fuck

guess im stuck with randoms trio

[mellow kestrel]

speaking of visual clutter i also realized i have to learn to "see" agian

in apex

lol

[wicked river]

wanted to solo duo

[mellow kestrel]

iykyk

[alpine trail]

yik

[wicked river]

man stole my valk

fml

banga time

[mellow kestrel]

id help you sworce but you're oce no?

[wicked river]

im just doing pubs

to unshit

[mellow kestrel]

ahh okay i misread

thought u were playing ranked or smth

[alpine trail]

you guys wanna hear a song im workin on

why

its good for the game

[distant hill]

https://streamable.com/ylnp9y

visual clutter

also me getting shot in the back

[alpine trail]

rip

tbf idt it was visual clutter that lost you that situation

[distant hill]

it didn't it was just me getting shot in the back

but theres still just so much visual clutter

[alpine trail]

ye

[distant hill]

the evo upgrade, the dirt, and his gun

[wicked river]

i just wanna solo duo

[alpine trail]

the worst place is that snow area

if yo ushoot the ground

[wicked river]

where even is the streamer location for olympus

estates?

[alpine trail]

ye energy depot

estates

[distant hill]

estates is chill

[wicked river]

estates when your teammates craft till zone 2

who wanna watch me get bodied in vc and give tips

ok what the fuck is this skin

[quaint karma]

whats wrong with it

[livid cliff]

gamed on

[foggy surge]

someone carry me in plat thanks

[jovial mauve]

anyone have a good apex kovaaks scenarios? seperate ones for tracking and one for flicks and static stuff. would be very appreciated ty

[oak veldt]

me when i come across a masters 3 stack tryharding pubs

every match

[proven pulsar]

try PureG apex routine

@rancid flame what are the scenarios/playlist you do in kovaaks?

[alpine trail]

close tappy strafes

[floral lodge]

Any playlist involving movement for tracking IMO can be more beneficial than pure tracking playlists if you’re wanting to build a good foundation

I def improved more with that method than other tracking playlists give it a shot see how it goes

Besides that torjes reactive playlists are great too

[foggy surge]

doing a little bit of winnage

learning solo v squads

[alpine trail]

nice

[turbid condor]

anyone know any cracked apex players on 800 2.1 or similar

[livid cliff]

why so specific

[stray valley]

I play 800 and 2.4/3.0

[turbid condor]

new sens

[jovial mauve]

i see, can you recommend any good scenarios with tracking/strafes as well as including movement?

[alpine trail]

aight, another weird question for the day

as an average player, what sjhould I focus more in fights: landing more shots or taking less damage

[little verge]

Landing more shots because if you don't the roller will.

[jovial mauve]

you aim to deal as much damage as you can while taking as least damage so both

[alpine trail]

i am not focusing on taking less damage part, so I should probably try to learn that firest

my process is "see enemy, W towards enemy, left click"

[jovial mauve]

use cover, abuse the enemy reloading

[alpine trail]

even if I win the fight, I am either left with very little health or we get traded

or third partied

[jovial mauve]

yeah always gonna happen xd

just need to shield swap and quickly reset

depending on what lenend you are you probably want to disengage

[alpine trail]

my fights are so stupid, the enemy and I usually face each other and start blasting.

[jovial mauve]

like for me if i finished a fight and got 3rd partied jujst port to a building or cover away and Q and try heal

[alpine trail]

Whoever dies first loses

and something's telling me that's not the way to go

[jovial mauve]

hhaha i mean if you have good aim and beam yeah

[alpine trail]

I have very bad aim

totally unreliable aim

so for me it should be more important to minimize damage taken I guess

[jovial mauve]

but even if you had good aim it would be quite risky to as you dont know the other players skill or if hes on roller

but also if your confident then go for it

[alpine trail]

ok, thanks a lot

i will try to play more clever

❤️

this is my aim by the way https://youtu.be/iU67Fg43rj4

this is the best case scenario

super shaky still

so I am looking for ways to offset this aim deficit

[jovial mauve]

yea nah the kill was good just yea very shaky xd

then you had to go all out for the 1v1 but u had better aim

[alpine trail]

thd?

what is that

oh

[jovial mauve]

accidently pressed enter my bad xD

[alpine trail]

yeah, I believe that was a good flank

I had to take that fight at that point

[jovial mauve]

yea that was solid

[alpine trail]

even with my shitty aim I can win fights

[jovial mauve]

what sens do you play on

your aim is good just shaky xD

[alpine trail]

if I was normal like normal people

I could do so much better

[jovial mauve]

you are normal haha wdym

what sens are you on rn

[alpine trail]

here is the worst case scenario https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1525204345

sometimes I get very stuck on panic

and my hand literally starts trembling

you can actually see that on the hand cam

[jovial mauve]

looks like you might be tensing a lot

[alpine trail]

yes I do

I panic a lot

and tense a shit ton

[jovial mauve]

yeah

[alpine trail]

but can't get over it unfortunately

[jovial mauve]

do lots of 1v1 in firing range

helped me, it could help you

and when going to it just focus on staying calm and smooth

[alpine trail]

I do my best at that

dude your hands get so shaky

my only goal playing ranked apex is to stay calm

[jovial mauve]

your sens looks very high as well which amplifies the shaky aim

[alpine trail]

that's literally why I play it

because ranked games make me overly anxious

so I force myself every day

in hopes of getting desensitized

[jovial mauve]

fair enough yea thats good

[alpine trail]

I have really bad anxiety disorder

and games trigger that for some reason

funny part is I love gaming

I really enjoy them

how many hours in apex

[jovial mauve]

you are still doing great though much better than lots of people

[alpine trail]

but when it is competitive, I can't stay calm and collected

about 1300

thanks haris

[jovial mauve]

something that also helps me is playing with a pre made team with coms

people im comfortable with and can joke around and still play

[alpine trail]

I've been playing with tazed lately

hoping that helps

he is a good player too, so gives me confidence playing tofether

[jovial mauve]

remember its a game have fun joke around as well that will relieve some anxiety, laugh at mistakes but also take note of them

like lmao today

some guy was 1hp i got

i pushed to finish with pk

he popped a pheonix with 5 seconds infront of me while i tried to pk him 💀

and then he knocked me

[alpine trail]

lololol

[jovial mauve]

like i actually was gonna break my monitor but just laughed and yea

aim today was not the best

x(

[jovial mauve]

man my apex aim was such a beam for last 3 days on new mousepad today it was ass

this game is a meme

i just made a level 1 account

played a pub on it

and theres literally a kid closet cheating with an A.I aimbot

It's OK, Hideouts and his crew spent time working on manually banning arena ranked players, even though he probably only hit 1% of the cheaters in that mode anyway.

Anyone out there that’s down to 1v1 in firing range? I really need to practice my movement and staying calm in tight scenarios.

WRAITH

[covert sentinel]

but.. speedy superglides and wall jumps and it's instant so you don't have to wait unlike wraith's tac..

[dull falcon]

OCTANE IF YOUR STRAFES ARE GOOD OR U WANT TO DO SOME ADVANCED STRAFE( LURCH)

just movement in general

https://outplayed.tv/media/rKWM3B

[random thistle]

It didn't break, it's a feature :^)

[little verge]

Safe bet. At best they're console players three stacking and at worst it's exploitation or cheating. Seemed like a real pointless mode to me for Apex.

Howd you get that skybox, thats so lit

[tight vault]

smooth thin strafes

supra distance, auto balanced short strafes (I think that's the name), and close mid ad lfs dodge (doing this from memory so probably wrong) are also good for the type of aim that you want to improve

[crimson tapir]

hi guys i have noticed i miss a lot with PK and mozam close range compared to my tracking on flatline/r301 , how would i practice this in kovaaks ?

[calm flare]

Since my main game is apex and I just play kovaaks to improve my aim in apex should I just convert my sens? So my kovaaks is the same as my apex?

Wagwan, thanks mate

what do you guys think of Bangalore

how well does she fair in the meta

I like playing her a lot for some reason

but don't know if I am handicapping myself

[quasi stone]

i would rather play eu servers with 400 ping than au servers where controller players are everywhere

it feels nice to die to someone who was genetically better than me

[sage smelt]

Shiv players her 🤷‍♂️

[quasi stone]

apples and bananas

[knotty silo]

Pretty mid, she can bring alot of disengage and utility but with bloodhound and seer being so popular her smokes are kinda useless

in arenas i am getting matched with pred enemies who neo strafe while my team is 50 level

[twilit minnow]

I'm pretty interested in Apex movement, been trying to pick up a few things recently

I had no clue about jump fatigue wall bounces until a couple weeks ago haha

[sullen mist]

same, i kinda would love to see movement clips here

[twilit minnow]

Yeah me too, have you seen YukaF? An insane mechanical player who's been getting more popularity since ALGS

[sullen mist]

Saw both of your clips in kvks discord you’re pretty good

[sullen mist]

yeah, especially the wall bounce in last circle it was kinda creative

check out his highlights too he plays in the ping as I do but he plays on NA while I play on EU

relatable which is why I use streamable

no, it doesn't but it lets you upload

under 250 MB

np

[twilit minnow]

Right? I don't know if he pulled that out on the spot or knew of it beforehand but it was very nifty

[twilit minnow]

What ping do you have?

[sullen mist]

180

i could play on 40 ping but server in my region is dead cuz no one's into apex

120 is also optional if I wanna play in asian servers

[twilit minnow]

Oh wow, what region are you in, if that's okay to ask? Damn

[sullen mist]

im pretty sure he used it without even realizing until that circle

[sullen mist]

bahrain

[golden sinew]

[twilit minnow]

Lmao might be

[twilit minnow]

Oh yeah that makes sense, Maryam is an Arabic name. I had to block Bahrain servers in Overwatch when they first came out because it made the queues unbearable hahaha

[sullen mist]

but still was sick

[twilit minnow]

Yeah for sure

[sullen mist]

indeed, it is a arabic name

too bad I have to play in a huge disadvantage

by the way I am learning how to superglide if yk how 2 do tht

pretty basic but also rng

[twilit minnow]

Yeah 180 ping is rough, although very doable once you get accustomed to it. Ultimately I think you'll be able to reach whatever level you decide to work towards with time all the same

[twilit minnow]

Oh nice, yeah of course, just a matter of timing your jump and crouch inputs that really makes or breaks it, as far as I can see. I'd also like to consistently get them down, but it does require quite a bit of practice

[sullen mist]

It is rough, I have lost tons of gunfights I shouldn't even be losing especially against controller players where they're able to shoot my previous position but I can't really do much about it or complain about it, this is one of the situations where I either have to risk it or not do it, there's no between. But I did decide to risk cuz I think it's gonna be worth it and high ping does involve higher skill gap.

[sullen mist]

exactly that and I am trying to work on superglide consistency which takes a while to practice

learned tons of stuff from guys like Gruic and R3KT about this thing

[meager spire]

why are the japanese players absolutely cracked at the game ?

[sullen mist]

[twilit minnow]

Yeah you're right, it sucks to be stuck between those two choices, but I'm glad you're sticking through it. The enjoyment you can get out of it might not be impacted as highly by ping with some more time

[twilit minnow]

They're nuts, yeah gruic's guides have been pretty useful for me as of late

[sullen mist]

It's the only way to go if I do want to play apex legends but you're right it's not going to be impactful and might cause more frustation by the time I play more.

[sullen mist]

It's very impressive to see R3KT who's only 17 and pretty much has better movement than some pros though, gruic has been rly helpful lately for sure which I learned alot from him.

[near drift]

anyone know that clip where yukaF was shotgunning a team that was on lower ground in countdown?

what was he doing to peek the height without falling off?

[devout tusk]

I just slam my space and ctrl key at the same time, ez 50% success with no practice

[sullen mist]

That’s what I do too and I did hit it multiple times but I’m trying to be a bit more consistent

[ember wagon]

is predicting aiming in apex bad?

[oak veldt]

i think i have realized why i die a lot, i am out in the open and dont fully utilize cover like pillboxes and columns to buildings

and i dont predict enemy rotations

[wintry cypress]

If you predict their movement while theyre going into cover, imo no

But if youre predicting their ad spam/ strafe, then yes

[chilly thicket]

which one is better

also should i get seer next instead of caustic

[ember wagon]

vamp is better

[chilly thicket]

vamp?

wdym

what do you think i mean

This one for sure

oh

aight

anyways caustic or seer

Caustic 🤢

I'd defo take seer

Infinitely better atm

[distant hill]

caustic and seer are both meta

Caustic lame tho

what am i looking at

oh

i saw that last week and was wondering how they did that

they brought the kc one

anyone else

Got heirlooms?

@alpine trail @honest heron yall right about rotating and knowing when to fight teams and taking a bit of kp then dipping
i just got 225 rp from placing 3rd, we just got ganked while i was using a phoenix

[proven pulsar]

ganked

like in 3rd partied?

[oak veldt]

yeah

it was 4 squads, we elim the 4th one, the 3rd one came and then the last squad came right after we almost knocked all 3 ppl of the 3rd squad

[proven pulsar]

What rank are you in?

[oak veldt]

b4 lol i basically just started playing ranked (last time i played was a couple days a couple seasons ago and i could have gotten gold with like 1 more game)

[knotty silo]

We flexing this stuff or wat

[alpine trail]

yurrrt

knowing when to reset or get out is good

if you cant clear a fight in a reasonable time very much expect a 3p

[oak veldt]

i think it was last 3 thats why we died

cuz my team mate got downed by caustic trap

so they probably gave the call to push

[alpine trail]

yup

basically in last 3 teams

usually just waiting for teams to fight and once there's action last team will come in

so best not to force fights unless you're really confdient or know where last squad is

[oak veldt]

yeah my team pushed and like i kinda had to join them
