>>1892506Weird, they partially fixed this.Attachments now work correctly, but you still drop the wrong gun.
these Amps seem kinda bullshit
Did they fix the akimbo bullshit that was plaguing this game?
Hello, poorfag chinkoidsHope your gay negro game will die soonThanks, bye!
The more shit they add to the game the less I want to play.I'm moving on, it's no longer the game I used to enjoy.There are other things to do and play.
>>1894886>every streamer 3 stacking with pros still playing to run at every team they see>complain that ranked is an intfestI sleep and amps are the stupidest thing they could have added
Wildcard is chaos and not in a good way
Solo Q'ing wildcard is pretty horrible, my teammates are drooling windowlickers caught in the bermuda triangle of stupid and the enemies all seem to stick together.
Amps are aids. Just delete Kapatid since she's obsolete now.
>>1894947No, they tightened up the Moz spread, and the p20s are in the care package. >>1895004FPS games don't attract the most intelligent players, even among the top.
you can farm 4k badges and 20 bomb badges in Wildcard right now
the amps feel unnecessary, it feels a little too hand holdey to have an amp that heals even better than support legends.also nerfing the weapon/extended bins by removing them from the map was unnecessary
>>1894886babex is backex?
>>1895090I think they added amps to balance against the lowered ttk (decreased evo harvester spawns, removing bin icons, increased weapon damage) but I hate them all the same.
Ranked was one of the big draws of this game that kept their daily player count up and they've fucked it up so badly I think it's going to tank to absolute hell this season lol
>>1895144What did they change?t. bab who dodges ranked every couple seasons
I swear they use this same colour pallette every year
The chud legends won
>>1895147More of a slog, didn't fix any of the problems it already had and in some ways made them worse, and amps make it way more arcadey and broken while rewarding the usual premades WAY harder since they can hoard them.
>>1895090Before you could basically tell where people were by seeing icons vanish from the map, which was kinda dumb. They probably should have made them appear on the map while skydiving though.
Fuse chuds they made US the basedboy>>1895155It's weird because they've had shit like amps in previous seasons and they were never in ranked mode
>>1895159New devs have directly stated they want the game to be more about abilities and less about shooting, citing Overwatch as a hero shooter Apex would be likely to become more like over time. They're pushing the game in this direction hard and they're not going to back down. It's all in on ability spam, AA and obnoxious predictive metas.
>>1895177"We're not adding a new legend this season so instead here's a complete revamp of half the gameplay and maps that nobody wanted"
>>1895157Paying attention to changes on the map is a skill.
Ranked is a shitshow right now. dropped everyone back down to silver again, even people who made silver last season are still there (instead of bronze or rookie). And no one knows how to drop to loot a POI. everyone clumps in the middle and leaves half the POI unlooted.Also, was neutral about the new map but I'm starting to hate how spread out everything is. Gotta sniper maxxxx.
I find it funny that Bangalore's tact is a better Crypto ult. Poor Crypto...
>>1895329they should just turn his ult into a tactical with a shorter range, and just give him a completely new ult. like a constant scan beacon or something.
This update is fucking horrible. The RE is so OP it's ridiculous, I get downed before I even hear it go off. It also somehow feels like it's even more ape-y than usual and premades are just running down the lobbies even more.What a shit show.
Realized a major flaw of the assigned drop zones.Sweaty handholding premades just instantly contest because they know randoms won't organize in time and they just roll you.
>>1895459I don't see how that's worse than them dropping right on you at the start
>>1895177>>1895186>more like overwatchah yes, becoming more like that dead game will surely pump the numbersAnd it's not even close to being a hero shooter (ignoring the retarded gimmick tactical abilities) - amps are stupidly overtuned for the ease at which you find them and let you completely change playstyle>free backpack lifeline drone with every syringe>infinite batts/infinite ammo means you can poke cheese even harder lategame>tac cooldown reduction is absolutely obnoxious on skirmishers, on top of their knock passives
>See diamond player put in S4>Myself who barely played last season from losing interest is put in S1>All my lobbies are the worst I've experienced in over a year>It's literally all masters premades no matter the mode>I have a k/d of like 1.4Interesting gambit Respawn
>>1896528I didn't even play last season and I got Gold 1, why is that?
I was in Plat 2 and got put in Silver 4
>>1896563It means you suck
>>1895554
>>1895522>>1895459How does this work? Can more than 2 teams contest?Atleast in a hotdrop scenario the "best team" aren't completely guaranteed to win. But in a straight 3v3 it's basically already over
Every other day i play this game is a complete writeoff (ranked atleast) because of EOMM
>>1896823dota (usually) somehow makes this work
>scrolling through shorts>random Apex short where the guy lasers someone>it's a fucking controller playerI DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR CONTROLLER """GAMEPLAY""" YOU CYBORG NIGGERYOU GOT ROBOT THUMBS NIGGERTHE VIDEOGAME IS AIMING FOR YOU, DUMBASS NIGGERYOU'RE NOT GOOD OR IMPRESSIVEGET OUT OF MY FEED AUTO AIM HAVING NIGGER
Diamond 4 sent to Silver 2Haven't played rank at all only wildcard. They really need to add bats to this mode.>>1896990The first thing I check is to see if they have controller buttons on screen and if they do I block them
>>1896528>>1896563I think it has to do with previous best score. I think they tried to answer the "falls back to rookie IV" thing. If the first anon was put in S1, you made diamond 1. Q722 anon must have been masters at some point. >>1896676Interesting. Maybe the absolute floor for anyone who got a rank above silver in previous seasons is in fact silver. I have had such a mix of team mates from bots still running with their guns out, to guys who could win their 1s, use pings, and rotate intelligently.
I play ranked until gold 4 every split and it put me in silver 1
>>1896824Every squad gets a dropship and a random poi assignment, but theres nothing stopping you zooting off to the next nearest team and contesting their poi - you still drop from a large heightStreambabs are already exploiting it by triple dropping on the rando squad next to them and getting 3kp for free kek
Accolades are the most useless thing they've added to the game yet>random popups for just existing>check XP progress after a long game>10+ purple ones gets you a grand total of 400xpwhat a scam
I don't know why I fucking reinstalled this shit. I'm bad at apex and always will be. Feels like fucking shit to aim in. I fucking hate projectile ADS games.
>>1897340I'm playing the OTHER apex legends. :)
>>1897015>Diamond 4 sent to Silver 2How? I didn't play last split and I'm Gold 3.
>>1897408>>1897015I've played like 3 games of ranked in my life and when I logged in it told me I'd been put in Silver 3. I was in Rookie 4.
>>1897344theres another apex legens?
>>1897340Get good at CS, that'll automatically put you ahead of 95% of everyone else in every other FPS.
>>1897478I'm substantially better at every other FPS that isn't Apex than I am at Apex. Apex is just a dogshit shooter with fucked up netcode or something. Fuck this game.
>>1897483It does have an atrocious netcode and it'll never change.
>>1897483Actually it's netcode is great.The problem is EOMM fucks with your hitreg both incoming and outgoing.
>>1897490>it's netcode is great.lollmao evenThe worst of all BRs.
>>1897445look up "R5 reloaded". It's modded Apex. Unless that anon meant Titanfall 2.>>1897442we can only come to the conclusion that they accidentally screwed up how ranks work (on purpose) just like literally every season since 0. Remember that ranks don't really explain how good someone is by itself, but is a measure on how much time you put into the game. Last split I could fill a chalkboard with people in upper plat/low diamond who were level sub 200 and had no damage, no map awareness. You can be dragged up kicking and screaming by the matchmaking engagement technology :tm:.
>>1897728I've played since the game launched but barely play, I'm only like level 160. My unranked k/d ratio is usually an average of like 0.7. My best ever game was an 8 kill 1800 damage victory in duos. My ranked KD ratio from when I played 3 games while drunk was like 0.3. Silver 3....
>>1896824The stupid part is they're not evenly spaced out most of the time, and they tend to not all have the same amount of neighboursLike in picrel the dudes in Galleria could get fucked by 5 squads, while Resort is pretty isolated
>>1898025I guess technically all the drops with a skull can land in your poi
Fuse and Maggie are straightforward but why are Alter and Ash meant to hate eachother again?
>>1896878It has worked (with the weapon balancing kinda)>>1896990>CYBORG NIGGER
More dollars spent than hours played it seems.Also why the hell did they get rid of "time survived" stat. Were the shitter devs getting embarassed of people seeing their 300 damage 20 minute matches?
amidoingitrite (green)
If you get the battle pass with free coins, you basically have it forever, right? It seems to give more coins than it costs, or at least as many
>>1898126correct, though it almost wasn't the case a few seasons ago when they changed it from 120 levels to 60 per split.they were going to remove free coins completely until the majority of the community rightfully rallied against them.
>>1898133>>1898126corection, they were going to remove the ability to buy the pass with coins completely.
>not even a straight 3v3>high ground>we are technically the third party>managed to still lose decisively (and then another squad was coming to buttfuck us anyways)>turns out i was completely right, my teammates couldn't even hit any of them from high groundCan't push, can't defend. If you engage in a fight, your teammates will just rot there until you get third partied.
>>1898126>>1898133I just assumed they changed it to "you have to top up on coins every 2-3 seasons to keep getting it" and it was just because i had so many already
>>1898098>handholding in same building even when no enemiesClassic duo
>was getting my popcorn out when my teammate nearly died to prowlers>not long after another squad jumps themAITA r/axg?
ranked is BEYOND unplayable for me todayteammates instantly dying, just generally useless. and im usually pretty lenient on teammates, but this is something else.
>>1898208Thats apex (soloq) for ya
>more changes no one asked for>worse UI after another unneeded update>playlists splitting the playerbase making modes worseIt's like they are trying to ruin the game. And by try I mean they have done it. It's ruined.Why do we even have dumbass drop zones in ranked now? This isn't your fucking esports. Let people drop where they want to on a fucking map like they have done for 5 years now.
>>1898342>Why do we even have dumbass drop zones in ranked now?You'll notice a consistent theme for many people is asking for things to even the playing field and putting heavier weight towards proper skill deciding outcomes. Before dropping on another squad could just boil down to who lands on the better gun, who gets cells, who is in a premade and can coordinate punching out one specific guy to make it an easy 2v3, etc. In theory this is a good idea for a competitive gamemode.Respawn doesn't want that.You'll also notice from time to time Respawn will "cave" to these people but in very specific ways. Usually it will be so disastrous that they can backpedal immediately and others will claim that it "made the game worse", thus justifying Respawn in ignoring unbalance and uncompetitive play again with the justification that it's more fun by comparison to their sabotaged changes. Also, if they continued doing this correctly, it would invariably lead to people noticing how unjustifiable AA is more and more until they'd be forced to fix it for real, something they absolutely will not allow.Everything boils down to Respawn demanding and maintaining "control" of the game, from meta, player mindset, perception and more. This is incredibly common for casinos, which is why I recognize it.
>>1898248Usually it's easy going at the start of the season but it just aint the same anymore
>>1898342Drop zones shouldn't even exist until diamond or something
>>1897123None of the devs actually play the game enough to have known this was a terribly implemented idea.Can't imagine it will be that much better in something like ALGS down the line
The RE45 is way too strong
>waah waah I cant hot drop into a single poi with 5 other teams
>>1898410I don't even care about that. I just don't like being forced to drop in some random shit part of the map. I don't care about other teams I just don't want to drop anywhere on the dogshit south side of storm point.
>>1898410Might as well let Respawn assign us our weapons and attachments too
>>1898415When will we land with a backpack?
i'm actually enjoying ranked this season a hell of alot more compared to last ones.
is ANYONE playing unranked trios? this queue is insaneshowdown queue is fine and actually makes the game feel playable
>Play BR after an hour of Wildcard>Die within 1 minute of landing>Back to 3 minute queue + 3 minutes of character select and landing>Also it's all dogshit maps instead of based Skull TownThis game fucking sucks it's literally not worth playing the main mode.
Nice to see top preds struggle to hit even pred when playing against good teams.
>>1898492Unranked trios is now Wildcard. Get with the times, gramps
>>1898518fine by me, apex BR is fucking dogshit, they should just delete it from the gameranked too
>>1898518Wildcard fucking sucks. Only reason to play it over trios is the respawns.
>>1898521Wildcard is great practice. The fact that nothing matters in this mode and you can respawn every 5 seconds if you die, while still playing against real people, means you can just try out guns you'd normally avoid. I've been having a lot of fun doing the whole wingman + peacekeeper thing like the old streamers. I'm finally getting decent with the wingman.
>>1895082is this real or did they fix it already?
>>1898074Alter has some sort of fascination with Horizon because she causes the end of the world in an alternate timelineHorizon hates Ash because she tried to kill her in a black hole and that made her son sad
>start of game>nobody has shot anything (enemies or fauna)>evo cache is collected>everyone levels up but me, 25 shortidungetit
I find teammates in wildcard less toxic than standard BR, as the rapid, unlimited respawns make it less frustrating to get knocked, and the chaotic nature of the mode has players understand that it's mostly a free-for-all until the later rounds.For this reason, if I'm not playing ranked, I'll play wildcard.
>>1898598>I've been having a lot of fun doing the whole wingman + peacekeeperI miss pre-ranked Apex, I just needed the double-heal backpack and then I'd solo lobbies.
>>1899454>double-heal backpackakshually
>>1899507Oh right, that is why I went through the lobbies.
>>1897490Dont know about eomm but I know they fucked up aim assist for console players.
>>1898208You basically have to wait almost half a month just to even remotely have fun. Dogshit experience.
>>1898385>>1898385Likes to aphave your matches then. The ones I aphave rip my teams shit in almost immediately.
>>1898492Unless you have friends playing i dont know why you would. Games end almost immediately because of people constantly hot dropping and reducing matches significantly.
>>1899507in a way that is double heal
>>1898356While this is true, and they generally do this (looking at you, S13 ranked, and you clubs), I feel like they did this kinda right. Also, they /have/ to do it right just for the tournament fags. They may turn it off next split if there is enough bitching. I think it needs to stay up a couple of seasons to really see if it's worth while. This game needs to have changes to its formula once in a while to keep it fresh. People keep pointing to the way F*rtnite innovates in order to keep things fresh. Some things work, some things don't. I think it's possible to be a pushy/contesting team if you get two other guys who know how to loot a POI properly, or you can speed date your randos (at higher ranks) into doing so. Some anons were just talking about how some drops look closer than others >>1898025 which looks shitty at first, but you can start to anticipate how the map will play out. Also, the yellow caches a placed in a way that draws teams to come fight. And the best part is you won't get the dreaded random third party if you do it right (most of the time).
>>1899710I personally don't mine the idea, but the dropships are too high and just let you contest on drop like usual if you decide to land in another teams poi. I've seen multiple people critique it with the fact they should be lower and it would be fine.
>>1894886>Aura farming edition
I feel like I should be in PlatI haven't played in a bit but still
>>1899727I feel like I belong in low Diamond/high Masters but I just can't be arsed to go through Diamond since my friend and I never have a third.
>>1899727You should be in gold at least. if you scroll up, you'll see that some guy randomly was added to gold, and everyone else to silver regardless their respective ranks. They fucked up (again). Enjoy the grind! Remember it's for a fun aura this season.
I'm still in silver almost in gold and in good games I'm getting ~10 kills and >1k damn. I don't even care my teammates are doing ~300 dmg I'm actually having fun carrying them (since it feeds my ego).
They've broken melee hitreg in another respawn momentYou get the client-side lock-on but sometimes you clip right through the guy and the punch doesn't connect kek
man the removal of heat shields in ranked seems to have really increased the amount of circle edge camping
>>1899727"You must grind from silver like everyone else, goy!"It's all so tiresome
>>1899727it's weird for sureI played multiple accounts to plat 4 and they are all over the place with their new starting ranks
>>1900410That's not fair. I was Diamond 3. How the fuck you start at Gold while I get thrown into Silver?
>>1900536better overall performance, I GUESS¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>no way to just turn that shit offegh
just played a bit of controller and the aim assist is truly ridiculousyou truly can just beam an enemy down from full hp if you get your aim in the pocket and it just completely locks on. it's pretty pathetic desu
>>1899727game's telling you that you are ass at battle royale
what fucking idiot let you get badges on this mode?are they dumb?
>>1899685Yea I think it was around 4 or 3 seasons ago. Really hated that change it messed up some console players.>>1901439What's up with people hating aimassist so much?
>>1901592It's a huge crutch for an inferior input method. I suck shit at controller but multiple times I got instant kills because the aim assist just locked onto the enemy and beamed them from full HP.It's a horrible game design choice that ruins what would be a really good game, the fact that players at the highest level are using controllers is actually a travesty
Has the MMR gotten WAY worse for anyone else? I cannot get a lobby of anything other than 4k/20 masters premades unless they're teammates in any mode whatsoever.
>>1898208Apex as a whole is unplayable if you play solo. Pubs is filled with the brim of horrendous matchmakingMixtape is either stomp or be stomped with its matchmaking And ranked takes like a month to be even bearable
>>1901608it's got the worst of both worlds where it's basically ensured that you will have both cheaters in your lobby and 3 stacks
>>1901597I mean I can understand for pc players but console players need it for the way how consoles run. Hell the current aim assist as of now is just incosistent sometimes
>>1901611>console players>playing fps
Any opinions on the ttk? Just want to know since the subreddit for apex keeps gaslighting me asking.
>>1901632It's a desperate decision to keep player retention. It could've worked but most guns aren't compatible with this change and others just become insanely unbalanced. Like the r99 and peacekeeper. People were complaing about the mastiff two tapping people years ago but are suddenly ok with it now?
>people still arguing over controllers/aim assistWe've been over this. Controller console players are negroid subhumans. They should stay on their console servers and the people that play controller on pc should be flogged and skinned alive.
>>1901665Honestly man most gunfights in this game currently is like rock paper scissors more than gun skills. If my ass is running a volt and I get jumped by a dude with a r99 you best believe I'm getting fried first.
nuke aim assist
>>1901632>Asking reddit anything outside of really niche substtk is meant to be higher in this game and the nu-devs lowering it is purely to feed players more dopamine after they kept seeing the player numbers drop. This season felt really bad with the RE for me in early game. Sometimes I'm down before I even hear it go off.
>>1899736>>1900346>>1901442why do I keep doing this to myself
>>1900339kek based, wish i had the original tfd.png lying around somewhere
This seasons experience has been genuinely terrible. Five games with no team at the start Teammates DC every other gameTeammates that wander and immediately die Teammates that lootgoblin where I land at drop when we have all the space in the worldAt this point I'd prefer to have bot teammates if I'm going to have disconnectors or no one at all.
>>1901766>>1901798you can die from an r301, bodyshots only, blue armor, in the time it takes the charge rifle to wind up. That's the shittiest AR btw.Weapon balance is all over the place and now the PK is back on floor loot (still does 108 pumps) and the reeee is basically gold-tier.
>>1901885I'm still around. Tap me in, coach. I see (you) online with your controller icon, but you have your squad as invite only.>>1901980For regular pubs, or the new game mode? Go play wild card, it's actually half decent.>>1901983Problem with charge rifle is it's designed into a corner. Gotta keep it like its titanfall design (it was for killing titans, btw) to keep its identity, but that makes it a poking/ambushing weapon. Similar ttk issue with the havoc. If you're not prefiring it on a push, you're basically dead.Then again, I remember 10 seasons ago when turbo was gone people were calling it dead, then 5 ago people were calling it broken and "meh duh". You can't balance around what's en vogue. The pros are idiots and decide what's the best, and everyone follows. With all that said, you're right about the rock-paper-scissors, but at the end of the day play guns you don't miss with. Volt is super comfy.
Are any of you actually playing (and possibly having sex) with each other?
>>1902873I do both alone
So 3030/RE meta?
>>1903644ROC (formerly Tripod) Deeds confirmed that so it must be true
>>1903644checked and true.haven't watched any streamers in a long time but I figured out real fast that the RE-45 hits way too hard and functionally knocks a blue shield without attachments. Dirty thirty fits really well because every ranked map is so open. Been enjoying a bit of Rampage too as a sub, because you can plink with it, and bring down doors if you like.>mastiff D tierexcept when the servers decide (you)r enemies' hit reg is super clean, then it's about as good as PK. But PK is in the right spot and feels stronger than the care package version almost (6 shots? are you kidding me? yes, I know you can't slide reload but that doesn't matter).>Hemlock BDisagree. And gunshield doesn't save it. You need a barrel for decent midrange fighting, and the hipfire is dogshit.>Prowler CI'd like to hear the argument, but I'd swap it with Hemmy. You get it to full auto and it's great. Again, I'd only slot for heavy ammo to carry a 3030, or a rampage. Since heavy stacks are smaller, you're cutting into your budget a bit. Then again, everyone will be running heavy. Decent list. Pick related is quite the throwback. We've come a long way, babs.
Whoah i didn't expect that fancy animation for getting the goypass rewards
>>1900965>we're getting rid of visual noise but flooding your HUD with useless badges to make you feel good about yourselfWhat did Respawn mean by this?
>>1901439Every time i go back to playing games with controllers regularly my hands just hurt, not worth it to become an aimassissy
I must have had some "whitelisted" controller teammate cuz they somehow managed to win it for us on their own while whiffing shots and taking ages to switch their weapon in fights and then the final squad pretty much just died to ring damage. Strange
>playing with a Lifeline random>she's sounds like a white, dirty neet>runs in and dies>yells at me for not pushing into a building while the enemy looks at us through the doorI think I'm in love

>>1904406he always talks about some guy named kitsyung or something idk. Isn't he gay?
>>1904402I was gonna say >she but that sounds about right for a foidshitter>>1904408That's the name of his wife's brother, who he got killed in the thunderdome (because ballistic was a killchasing twitch streamer or something)
She called me a retard and told me I'm a dumbass for playing Sparrow on Storm Point. I wanted to impregnate her on the spot.
randoms in ranked on e-district have literally no fucking clue how to shoot at anything near them or where to fight and how to fight it, i cant even imagine what it must be like to not even be able to execute your own idea with someone helping you and doing 270-400 per fight or baiting to give you free shotsgonna have to remember to just be a selfish pos on this map from now on until these retards figure it out. literally just kill the team in front of you or behind you if its somewhat iso, third party EVERYTHING to your edge, stop going in the wrong direction or hanging out on edge, or this weird thing where they stumble into the giant middle poi and look like theyve never seen it beforethe shooting across the map at unpushable shit with no gap closing ability just to damage farm until you get killed in the side or the back by the team you should be killing is also just fucking absurdthe game is not hard, the mental illness and tunnelling on useless garbage and holding terrible positions is what makes it hard, and i dont give a fuck about your 1k and 1 assist when i have 700 and 5kp, learn to fucking move and do meaningful damage and kill people
>>1904445Communication is key. It makes things smoother for everybody.
>>1904402>>1904421Sounds like you're both retarded.>she>herI somehow doubt that.
>>1902873solo queue-er with occasional sex with loba's
>Friend invited me to try apex>Walk around picking shit up for 10 minutes>Die instantly when other players show up>"Oh no, that's just how the game works, we did great as the fifth team left!">Repeat for three hoursAre they also as shit as me despite having 1000+ hours played or is this normal in battle royale games. Never played the genre before but so far this kind of sucks ass just dieing to shit and abilities you've never seen after a entire round where nothing happens.Guess it's just cope bitching. But this isn't very fun as a retard noob.
>>1904821>Are they also as shit as me despite having 1000+ hours played or is this normal in battle royale gamesYour friends should definitely be a lot better than you after 1,000 hours.
>>1904821Nah, your friend is just playing it in the most boring ass way, prioritizing placement over having actual fun (i.e. shooting things).As a newbie you should probably land a bit cold so you have at least a minute to grab some gear, but then you should run towards the nearest gunfire sound and go pewpew. If you're not fighting within 5 minutes, you're having a boring game.If you're not fighting, you're not learning how 2 pewpew.
>>1904821I think one of the pitfalls of the BR genre is how some people treat it like a MMORPG or something, where they get a weird attachment to the items they pick up (even though you're not going to keep any of that shit anyway) or their neurons just fire too fucking hard whenever they pick up something shiny. The game is a first person shooter foremost.>"we did great as the fifth team left!"is such a shit take. Like would you rather win a game with 0 kills and fuck all damage after hiding in a bush all game, or lose a game knee-deep in the bodies of your enemies?
It's been 40 minutes I am waiting for a ranked match. It's over.
>Battlefield may be backApex babs, this might be goodbye
>>1905462If you don't get out of bronze early in the season then good luck getting any games bro. The only solution is trying to play during Europe/Asian hours in their servers
>>1904821Go play mixtape or wildcard. Like the other anons say, you gotta shoot your gun and die, but it's very hard to """learn""" in battle royale if you don't even have some gun recoil practice. it's a damage + time game. Learn how long it takes to heal, learn how to make the gun shoot relatively straight. If they bitch and say, "I don't wanna play TDM. I don't wanna play the new fun mode", it might not be worth your time. You will continue to experience dying without knowing how or why.Firing range is your friend too. You can play all the toons for free there.
>another game of pussy teammates that hide with snipers and never push only to die at the slightest push
>>1905712>never push only to die at the slightest pushThat's why they don't push. You play with what you got.
>>1905668>>1905285Expected to be called a faggot but actual nice to hear. Didn't know there was a TDM mode in the game. I don't think I like the game enough to grind out getting good at it but having a mode to play that should be fun shootan is great to learn exists.
>>1905770Check out "mixtape" in the menu: bring up the game modes by clicking the picture above "ready" when you're lobby host. It has (team) gun run, TDM, and control (control point capture) all on a 15 minute rotation. I get it that you don't want to grind.You've got a lot to catch up on, so don't feel to bad. Every gun has a recoil pattern that can be somewhat mitigated by pulling down to the left or the right. Also there's a way to mitigate the pattern by aiming and strafing (look up a vid on aim smoothing). Hold your friends to warming up with the shooty game modes. I was introduced to the game by guys who would pick up the longbow and would try to snipe. Only one of them was decent in CQC and when I surpassed the sniping friend, he lost interest in the game. lol. If you're competitive minded, it might scratch the itch during the learning phase, but be forewarned, the kiddie pool is shallow and short lived, then they throw you with the sharks. Again, just be outcome independent and learn to shoot your gun. Pick a few to learn and you'll be good.
>>1905477does the new bf have a br?
>>1898598I am an absolute god with the Wingman with no added sight. Just the default red circle ironsight. I can hit people reliably, and even headshot people a lot of the time, reliably from 100~? meters. The moment I put a sight on my Wingman, I can't fucking hit shit from any distance. It's like the sight makes the projectile arch more or something???
>>1905477>>1905981it's fucking dogshit retarded EA garbage that makes you enable secureboot in the bios. I'm not potentially bricking my PC and having to reinstall Windows for fucking BF6.Also they say it's because of anti-cheat, but how the fuck does that work when I was able to get into a game without enabling Secureboot by disabling my network adapter while it launched, then enabling it once I was in game?
>>1905990secureboot is just another hoop for hacks to jump through. it is dumb that they're requiring your average person (retard) to do shit in their bios to play the gamei imagine that network adapter disabling is an oversightbut, that doesn't answer the question about whether bf has a bryou should have your windows set up so that reinstalling it is easier, cause it's fucking windows. read the partitioning section of https://pastebin.com/Zh7WSbJ2 and ask the friendly windows thread on /g/ if you're confused
>>1905990Well, if it makes less cheats available I'm for it.
I'm surprised they still haven't added new damage badges above 4K. People have hit double that or more before.Yesterday I had a teammate do 5K in a silver lobby
>>1906160Considering there were videos of working cheats on day 1 of the beta, I doubt this shit will matter at all
>>1906506oh really?
>>1906564yarly, and sure, EA's claiming they already blocked a shitton of cheaters but it doesn't matter since they've already shown how useless all of that shit is by getting cheats to work on day 1
I like how respawn still pointlessly cling to match abandonment penalties like "oh you alt-F4'd, here's a 10 minute timeout" because you can alt-tab and do literally anything else for the duration of the match, however long it lasts, and get no penalty even if you get reported for AFKing>t. afks as soon as my assigned bots in ranked do something stupid
>Nox Gas damage increased to 10–15 per second (was 4–10), now grounds enemies, obscures HUD, and sends aim‑punch feedback on hit.Sounds pretty huge, is it? I remember them buffing him a few years ago like this but it seems bigger this time?
>>1905477I made the mistake of binding the slide key in BF6 beta and becoming a movement nigger. Thank god they don't have some unintentional walljump kind of shit too
>>1905712>playing bab royale in 2025Nothings gonna change, the matchmaking, the players, the game... that's all i'm saying.Accept this reality or live in pain.>>1905981Yes they definitely confirmed it but not shown it off yet. I really hope they just abandon it after a month if it's even just a tiny bit shit.2042 was partially fucked from the beginning because of stuff like this, by trying to force Battlefield into something like Warzone or Apex.They are still trying so hard to chase those 2020 lockdown profits that they had with Apex, which is not a good sign.
>>1906748Before you could basically ignore his gas and just walk up to caustic and spank his bare butt. Now the gas is annoying and dangerous again. So yeah, it's fun to have teammates who just NEED to follow every Caustic into buildings again
>ashnigger suiciding into every fight>last 4 squads>all of a sudden decides they want to rat and not fight at alleverytime
>>1906160sweet summuh child o mine.Didn't you see the viral vid of the catboi 'tuber who was going around aimsnapping everybody, reading chat and pretending he was just ambling into kills? They're already out there advertising cheats. pic related
>>1906504because lets face it, cheaters have enough reasons to ruin matches

>>1907607ah update tiem
I'm happy that apex threads are still a thingI took a break after 18th season cause I broke my mouseI just got another G502 today and I'm back Apex feels so different but I wanna try again For all those feels!DZK getting fired will still be the best thing that happened to this game btwwhere are the regulars btw FuseChad, that autistic lifeline main etc.
>>1907833>I just got another G502 today and I'm backWhat's wrong with you?
>>1907851I just love the buttons so much!these new ones feels cheap no braided wire and the wheel is purely plastic earlier the feel was different earlier mouse failed due to my mistake I mistakenly poured juice on it
>wired
>*wallruns in your path*
Last time i played was when Sparrow was free, can someone lmk wtf accolades do and what guns are good? Which shotgun is best right now, and how did the UI and drop situation get worse
You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
>>1908696dual mozambiquespeacekeeper is goated but apparently nobody knows itafaik accolades don't do anything except pop up annoyingly for nothing
>about to hit Plat>next 2 games: here's your mandatory shitter teammateI'm gonna play Fortnite Ranked Build for the rest of the season. Fuck this game.
>>1908942Just because they didn't do damage doesn't make them shitters.With the new accolades system, you can now see all the feats they accomplished that you didn't pick up on during the match.Look at how much they ran around the map
>>1908696Accolades are useless achievement-like things that constantly pop up during your games and trigger automatic compliment voice lines from your teammates.You can't turn them off, just lower the intensity of the popups, which sucks since the voice lines are the annoying part.
>>1905712Go play the bonus game modes you ADD riddled retard.I'm tired of morons rushing to die because they got bored on late game ranked then blaming the team for not pushing with this 500 dmg dumbass
>>1907434I pick it only to spam the grim trans witch line on dropship
>>1907833>regularsKek I haven't played this game in over 2 years bro, I was getting my master's. I do very occasionally pop into one of these threads. Guess /axg/ had to move from /vg/ to /vm/ once I stopped posting.

Haven't played Apex in a long time, what the fuck happened to this game? Can't even drop where I want lmao
>>1908942>octranny playerNot surprised
Holy fuck! can't believe I'm saying this but they saved apex with new changes particularly with early dropship + pre-decided thing. Now shitters will start complaining as usual that they can't rank easily. Visibility is still shit though.
>pk hits for 108 choked up at 20mWTF, they didn't even Nerf it after taking it out of the care package. Mixtape is cancer when r9/pk comes up
>TDM Thunderdome >Caustic teammate sets up barrels on the skull >I shoot all of them out >he spends the rest of the match shooting and punching mekino.
Does this game still have a hacker/cheater problem?
>>1912689I remember playing BR a while back and a care package dropped, teammate takes EVO cache, I take the gold/red R99, and then teammate starts punching towards me and shooting at the air in anger. Greedy fuck wanted everything in the package
>still have a /vg/ bookmark for ayyexxgeeAnd i accidentally use it every now and then when i revisit the game and feel a little sad even though its for the better. The gameplay has been changing a lot in the last year now that they havent been expanding the legend roster every season and focused on balancing. I feel confused everytime i load this game up after patches, so much "buff clutter" or whatever you want to call it.like all the legends share various abilities that used to not just be unique to classes but also to specific legends, like the Conduit speed boost (which is a good change but i think should only have been a buff for the controller legends or somthing)
>>1908279Is there some event/patch leaked? I keep wondering about when wallrunning will make some half comeback or actual introduction>>1908696>Which shotgun is best right now,Well PK is apparently out of the care package and it doesn't even seem that much nerfed
>>1912689I guess respawn still hate caustic even when they buff him
Caustic is OP againFinal circles are unplayable Damage should be reduced
>>1913720I actually just read this while watching a caustic squad win the final ring after our squad got wiped (not because of caustic though)

>>1913818Increasingly and irreversibly Apex no longer looks or plays like Apex but like Fartnite-lite.I hate live service games so much it's unreal.
>start of round>no combat whatsoever, just looting>teammates magically achieve level 2 before me againI'm starting to think they broke something so Mirage isn't credited EVO for "teammate does something" until you get the Renaissance Man perk :(
>>1914329Mirage EVO has been bugged for a while now.
>>1914329>>1914362Decided to look up some posts related to this bug, Mirage gets team EVO from Harvesters but nothing else and that bug has been happening for a week now.
I will purchase Loba's gooner skin
>>1914374I can't possibly imagine caring about character skins when you don't see them during the gameplay.
>>1914382But everyone can join me in gooning to Loba's gyatt
>>1912732Yup.
>lowered dropship height, killing 3rd party fagsthis season is definitely the best in a long time
Give me a reason to reinstall this game. The last time I played I was ready to set fire to the Respawn offices after only a handful of games.
>>1916774>reinstall>first game guy waits until the ship auto kicks us out>open mic console retards>they immediately lose both their fights and i lose 1v3>next game>hot drops 3 seconds after the game starts>drop leader instantly dies and instantly leaves>get swarmed by a million retardsYea this game is pure fucking dogshit I think this is the sign to literally never reinstall it ever again. It hasn't changed and it's still fucking horrible.
>>1916821Just play ranked
COD shitters HATE this ranked season.
Apex wouldn't be so bad if the majority of its playerbase wasn't ADHD riddled tiktok shorts watching zoomies.
I'm reinstalling apex for lack of better judgement
wildcard is nice, but it's really hard to hear anything with all the audible clapping whenever loba mains wallrun
So are queues just fucking destroyed for everything that isn't Wildcard or what? I've gotten like 5 matches in the last 4 hours.
>>1919702my ranked queue time was like 6 seconds just now
#FalconsAreHere
ngl feeling the pex itch after a few months of no pexing on god
don't worry, just queue for a pub game and it'll be cured within 5 mins
ranked tho
>>1918167Yea after like 4 or 5 weeks to even be bearable after resets.
>>1919025GoodThe problem still is herding them when you get them on your team though. They drag their heels in looting, then they go toward the first gunfight they hear, only to be third and fourth partied. They don't quite understand that there are whole teams coming from other POIs. It's more predictable this season and they've never had to think about it.
>>1923609Ranked is objectively better but ring rng can totally fuck you over much worse than before. You are guaranteed a fight in a rotation especially on broken troon, and CoD morons don't get that you have to fight strategically not blindly run towards gunfire as round 2 is closing
Wildcard, quads.
>ranked>get no teammates>invade random landing zone>throw a grenade>disconnecthuehuehue
The zipline shit all over KC is a bit hideous
>>1914404Read this right after getting finished by a Loba (the summer skin from last year)
They really completed Mirage's faggot arc with that select screenFucking YIKES
>>1924065I just pick a movement character, harass some squad then let them chase me across the map and then bait them into another squad
>>1921511
>stormpoint>running from closing circle>go through one of those tunnels with spiders>shoot the cocoons to fuck with squad(s) behind us>instead of moving on, team stops to shoot all the spiders: I
>>1923809There's quads now? Damn bro Apex had to become fun only AFTER I left huh?
>>1924173Used to do that with Pathfinder. Only way to have fun as a solo ngl.
>>1924173>>1924065In a match the other day my team set up an evac to fly over two teams fighting in front of us as ring was coming in, and on the way up I fired a Ballistic smartbullet at a random guy who was in the middle of a fight and watched him overheat and get shit on as I flew through the air
>play apex for a bit>switch to another account I haven't played on in a couple of months>get aim assist out the assjesus christ
Having fun pexxing ladscan't believe I'm saying this I'm missing those /axg/ days seriously why they had to get rid of the clubs
>>1925724No one respects the ring in ranked. Is really filtering teams that can't finish fighting quickly.>>1926149Real.I had a game the other day where I was getting these crispy 1 mags with car and r9. next match I couldn't even hit my target.>>1926854I miss the clubs too. The Steam group didn't work out.I also miss when we were popular enough to be on /vg/
do they not give away like a free event chest during events
>>1929385sometimes they do, sometimes they don'tfor no apparent rhyme or reason
>open the free event bin from the event material shop>get the Watson skinI wanted the Loba sex skin but this is ok I guess
>RE-45 Elite>Reduced magazine size by 3 at all tiers, including the base tier>Increased horizontal and vertical recoil>Projectile size reduced to match other pistolsyay
>>1930210>didn't fix Mirage EVO bugD:
>>1924432If some team choose fighting creatures over fighting other players then that's probably a good enough reason to just full send on them>>1925724A very cinematic 'pex indeed>>1930210I was starting to get worried the "broken OP shit at the start of the season" was starting to overwait its stay.
>>1930064It's definitely one of the better wattson skins (of recent times) and much better than whatever the fuck THIS is.It seems like the game is back out of its zoomer slop phase again though (brazilian bunda bait aside)
Loba barely feels like a support character. She's a skirmisher if anything
>>1930724It feels like an upgrade to pic related.I think it's going to be my main skin next to Sollarson, Colonizzerson. Anyway, anyone else find the PK to be better than the care package version? Did they forget to nerf it?
>>1930915PK is back to being the s0 iwin floor loot, except you can land on an arsenal and get one immediatelyIt still chunks for 108 when choked at 50m kek
>>1929229I feel like I started playing when the game was at the start of its decline back in 2023. Kind of sucks that we had to move to /vm/.
>find a match>get killed by a tryhard Ashnigger with a re45>repeat infinitelyIt's over
>>1930803shes supporting that big ass and boobas
>>1930930>arsenalfree blue upgrade! even better.Before going to crate, it only did 99 to body, it was star shaped, and the falloff (even with choke) started at like 15m. I hate it now. Way outshines the others, despite mastiff and dual moz being really strong picks too.
You are literally always surrounded in ranked now everyone is so evenly spread out the second you peak you get a charged skullpiercer 3030 bullet to the dome
apex is playable againwish we had world's edge though missing it badly
>>1935533>apex is playable againQueue times are huge even on EU lol ded
First game back the game clearly not trying to EOMM me into playing more... right?
>>1935946>264 damage dealt>16:52 survival time
Second free event pack, got another dud. I've had no luck lately.
This might be a long shot but does anyone know this old Apex humor compilation video I'm trying to find. I watched it on youtube and can't find it again.It focused on crypto gameplay and Studiopolis from sonic was playing in the background at one segment. This song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6VSG7rZe0Q&t=111s
>>1938356well there's this one, but it seems highly unlikely you watched it
>>1938390That wasn't it but thanks to your keywords I was able to find it lol. This has been living in my head rent free for a while now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxyC40uHg1Q
>>1930915>>1930930Can confirm. Picked it up first game today and won a few pretty uneven fights
>>1905988the holos change your zoom to .5x thats why. irons are completely different
i havent played since sparrow came out. whats the new shit, are they still cucking rev?
>>1939538>whats the new shitCaustic is the biggest faggot in the world, you don't get to choose where your team drops in ranked anymore (it's like straight shot where every team gets a designated zone to land in), and wildcard is a new game mode where you can spawn in infinitely (starting as little as within 5 seconds of dying) as long as you have a teammate who's still alive (and there's no restriction on picking a legend even if someone else already picked it)
>win ranked game>get no teammates in next game>champion squad; everyone sees I have no teammates:(
>>1941218engagement optimized [x]
huh thats new(didn't even notice/have audio issues)
>>1940001So they buffed caustic so everyone remembered why they nerfed caustic lol
>>1938356Is this one of those videos with like 1 million views or some video only you watched
>>1941218I jsut remembered those "win X matches in a row" badges still existI could have sworn i got 3 wins in a row (solo queuing) once, there was some reason why i didn't but i definitely got close. Was fucking ages ago now probably.

>>1919702yeah, they've sold out the actual game to cater to braindeads. Only a matter of time before they just remove the normal mode completely for wildcard. It's over. Original apex no longer exists.
>>1945107Not gonna lie it looks a bit like a Catalyst skin. pic unrelated
>>1945952>>1919702Even the section for duos/trios is smaller and at the bottom of the screen. The "cater to braindeads" shit is real, because now you've got the two sides of the same coin playing ranked or slop mode.
>>1945952>>1946177Unfortunately the dedicated zoomer slop mode doesn't seem to have removed the braindeads from ranked or pubs>80% of games where I'm not jumpmaster, we end up in the middle of 5-10 teams>where I'm jumpmaster and land somewhere sensible, about a quarter of players disconnect immediately>ranked teammates still W key towards the sound of gunfire regardless of chokepoints ahead of usI guess the only way to actually enjoy this game is in a trio (quelle surprise)
huehuehuehue
I have ascended and learned to accept solo queue is better for RP gains than playing regularly with any single squad.
>>1946485you must be joking solo queue is already masochistic climbing plat. diamond is impossible without 3 stack
>>1946485What legend you using? I've held onto Loba as my SoloQ clutch. Anyone better?
teammates not pinging support/weapon bins so I can open them (especially at the start of a game) are my new pet peevenigga they are no longer on the map I want dat EVO

Delete Octane from the game. I hate movement spergs so much.

>>1947373I think brainless spics just relate with the character a lot
Just had a really grim solo ranked win where i got separated from my team and nearly fucked it up for us on multiple occasions at the end(my first match in a week thoughbeit)
>>1946478Devilish but if i did this they would just start prefiring at the corner with the sheila and leave my corpse unrecognisable
Eternal gardens drop point in ranked is like too much space and too many choices for my squad. They just wander around looting and then some squad from nearby come and pick one of us off. weird
Humblest bald wraith (we did win together thoughbeit)
>>1947373he's literally a throw pick now his stim isn't worth the health loss for the speed boost and his ult is just asking to get shot at Ash does everything he can but better and doesn't attract as many retards
>>1949406>Ash does everythingCould have stopped there though.Literally never been a more OP character in the game.
>>1949427Horizon on launch was worse completely broken people managed to get 10k damage games with her in pubs. I think she has had the most nerfs out of any legend.
>>1949476Not even close to Ash.
>>1949545T. newgen
>>1949476Dont think i ever seen much of horizon on launch, because i started 'pexxing again a few seasons afterwards.She had another nerf like 2 yrs ago that was pretty heavy

>>1950392>burn two different squad's auto-revives on hotdrop, die after 40 seconds>spectate teammate>0dmg, staring at ground loot
>>1949476her kit was strong but nowhere close to broken. it's just that the kind of player who can get a 10,000 damage game is the kind of player to value vertical movement which horizon was unbeatable at on release
Lads I've moved on SF6. It's my first fighting game and boy it sure is fun.
>when the teammate roll is high
>>1946493Struggling with plat too. Team mates are either some duo that don't even know how to loot (has TTV in the name) or some random half decent players that know how to rotate and we make top 5. I have to admit, the drop zones is filtering shitters (like me, I'll be first to admit) because you can't so easily run and rat. You can count the teams that are up and where tthey're rotating from. So you either win your team fight, or you sit through a lost game where your 30 damage octaine is waiting to craft you, but there's still 16 squads up ring 2.>>1950939Our strongest Wattobab
>>1950212A good crypto player is rare but if you play with one that knows what they're doing you have a massive advantage.
>>1950764my nigga its literally the worst street fighter released
>>1946485Always has been>>1951055Made it to plat, could go for diamond but I figured I wouldn't bc I don't want to waste my time. You're best bet is to work with your teammates until they inevitably do something stupid to get themselves killed, then just rat it out. Don't try to get them back. Those fuckers are duos that would not do the same for you. >>1951218Its not like there's a lot you have to know + they made him easier with that perk that makes him go invisible.Apex players are the most retarded motherfuckers alive.
>>1952622You are right he's not a difficult legend to learn but most cryptos are either always on their drone or never use it once or just never learn to use its full utility like picking up banners etc.Also he's just kind of boring people will pick a fun legend over a useful one 95% of the time. I get far more mirages than lifelines in ranked as teammates even though he's mostly useless compared to the other supports.
Overflow healer amp is the most broken thing this game has ever seen

>>1955053Yeah consensus is that unless you’re smurfing getting 20 kills in BR is just not realistic anymore due to sbmm
Storm point is much better without the fag sky and penis clouds

>>1955400Sparrow's by far the best Recon legend, it's just that Recon sucks compared to everything else. I'm waiting for them to finally buff Bloodhound already. At the very least, give her multiple charges/faster charge rate on her scans
>>1955400He's extremely good.
>>1955796Bh would be cool with a scan where you tap for a snapshot and quick recovery or hold for a wide sweep with more info but longer recovery
>>1955796I miss BH being good the raven thing needs a rework it not very useful as it is
Octane movement macros are so back LMAO
>>1955946Yeah who the fuck wants to run to tap a raven or waste a scan on it when you can just insta scan a beacon with Sparrow Q. Not sure what they can do to make him good again without the wallhacks becoming too oppressive. Might just need a total rework altogether, change his legend class or something.
Vantage is busted
>>1956073would probably already help a lot if enemy players couldn't see BH's scan wave
>>1956071how so?
Still have yet to understand how you pick a legend and don't use abilities in ranked
>>1956672What rank are you?
https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/apex-legends/news/wild-iron-event>new ranked map rotation>e-d>kc>kinolympusseason still saved!
>>1955400He's top tier if you use his kit for more than just a double jump
>>1956717Plat 3
>>1956741Every time I get a sparrow he doesn't scan shit and never uses the stinger
>>1956305I have seen a number of different Octane accounts spamming some weird movement shit with the pk. They look like they're skipping frames, it's aids and worse to fight against than neo strafing.
Professional apex legends player Imperialhal is watching Kino Casino?!!
>>1956868It's just regular scrollwheel jumpspam with ADADAD/crouchspam on top, the only thing that seems to have changed is the character animations are more busted somehow - when crouched octane still looks like hes standing
>>1956868all I see is ash as far as the eye can see
>>1956734>ASH Abilities>Passive: Predator's Pursuit>* Increased dash cooldown to 12s (was 8s)>* Dash gives less of a boost when not dashing in the direction you're moving>Tactical: Arc Snare>* Breaks more easily, base duration now 6s (was 8s)>* Less pulling strength>* Doesn't deal extra damage to shields
>>1942913aaaand it's gone againweirdos
>>1956734>Sparrow's ult has 400 hp and does friendly fireAlright, they just killed him. Now Vantage is the best Recon
Getting bit by seers q is aids
>>1958026I never really see Seer anymore.It was kinda fun to crouchwalk through his ult and surprise people.
>>1958042I saw one yesterday and got hit by the q and my vision was absolutely fucked by the particle effects its worse than the flashbang. If people use him after the buffs hes gonna be cancer again
>>1958077Everything in this game from visual clutter to actual moving crosshairs punishes raw input players
Forced to pick the shitter magnet legends so teammates will have to pick someone useful
>seer gets enhanced jump and ads hover in his ult
>>1957595Still has dash and get out of jail freecard.Will still be 30% pick.
>over two years since Overflow was in Mixtape rotation >over a year since Phase Runner was in TDMs>nearly three years of upgraded guns canceling heals in Control >no bonus for being the ratings leader, no automatic shield level up or upgrades like the perk system fuck thunderdome brehs
>>1959355I don't play mixtape any more. So bored of those maps.
>>1959355control is definitely the bastard step-child of the meme modes>zipnig can still spawn invulnerable 1-way zips>even the ult charge nerf he can still get 4-5 by late game by repeatedly backcapping>octane can spam jumppads>alter ult on the roof of a/c in production yard is pure cancer
Wraith mains acting up again in ranked like their not throwing with their retarded plays
>>1959355checked>>1960720I still use it for warmup, but they really have abandoned mixtape. Control is really bad on some maps. Zipnig isn't even the most egregious either. Alter portals well hidden make back-capping too easy. The world's Edge map favours the left side spawn's access to B so much that they can get set up in the middle before the first player gets to the double doors. Gun run sucks because the original game mode was a FFA. Triple stacks steamroll everyone, especially because solo players love to throw their lives away.TDM is a tossup. Getting sick of skulltown. For some reason it too is a blowout for either side. I can count the number of close games on one hand this week.>>1962488Also Checked. Such is life. It's refreshing having a decent wraith (not bald) who will ping enemies, make decent portals to reposition the team, and win their ones.
>>1960720Control is the only one I play.Occationally I play TDM.If I see Gunrun I nope out of there faster than a shadow.
>>1957453I alt f4 when I see them
>>1957453Spam crouching warps your hit box and basically turns off controller AA because it cant detect where the model actually is in game since the animation stays in a crouch form instead of showing the spam
>>1963376No way that's true.
>>1962970It always feels like Gun Run is up when I log in. Enough to make me want to log off.
>>1963376Cap
>>1963479>>1963659All my fights are roller v roller and crouch spamming makes every bullet miss
>>1963708Every bullet you shoot or the enemy shoots?
>>1963958If I spam crouch the enemy misses. If they spam crouch I miss. I can tell when they're doing it too because my aim starts floating off the model even if im hard correcting. It's super cheesy too because while you crouch your aim assist is still locking on them so you can basically just hold trigger and win something you shouldn't have.And then there's the time where you both do it and mag dump all your bullets into the air around each other so you both run away sheepishly to reconsider the 1v1
I'm a Seer main now
>>1965025It's pretty cool how his ult becomes a lasr light show with 2 tacs and fast recharge in the dome
>>1958026It dawning upon me that seer is 4 years old and i'm no longer a noob like when he first came out and was OP for a week
Oh wtf, there was an event update?It's like Respawn don't even upload trailers anymore or i'm not seeing them for some reason
The absolute state
>>1965589vantage shitters get what they deserve
Too many reddit references in this game. Now i like a few famous quotes here and there and i like monty python and all that but i would rather not hear that especially every time someone is respawned in wildcard mode (every 5 seconds)
>>1960720And it's beautiful...
>>1963958https://streamable.com/cgxs0gHere's spamming crouch as a caustic against a conduit
>>1965025https://youtu.be/b471yBZTfrM?si=Dvvnd_7rXVGivLKPHes crazy
>>1956672just had a wattson that didn't build a single fence and only put down one ultimate and only when I asked them to
>>1965687that's just aimassist vs mnk + EOMM hitreg
>>1965727Can't spell REEEEEEspawn are REEEEEtarded.I fucking hate the fomo forced meta no fucks about balance approach, I hate seer, I don't want to see that nigger anywhere.Makes it easy to not open the game.
Seer is making me a racist again
>>1966068It's a console lobby there is no mnk
>>1908046The lightforce wired 502 with the optical switches feels right, like it is from a different factory even.
did they change King Canyon's lighting again? everything looks weird
Does Seer have any movement buffs or is it all just making his core kit OP again?
>>1967279Wait do you mean the wildcard map? honestly i haven't even played much regular trios so i have no clue if "normal" KC is even around still
>>1965727Ohhh well that answers my post >>1967663 It's like one or two short lines on the patch notes
>>1966075>>1966418They really want to resurface that S10 PTSDbut now with the added trauma of movement niggering
I'm not playing this split
>>1967279>>1967665KC lightmaps are... lighterLast season the tunnels were completely blown out and orange, they seem to have fixed that but made everything else look like bugged garry's mod textures.
>kings canyon>half the drop zone circles overlap each other>constant invasion warnings without being invaded:/
>shots in the range feel clean and smooth>shots in game simply do not connectebin
>>1965727instead of doing shit like this they should nerf every single legend hard
>>1968350Triple the cooldown on most abilities. Take out ultimate accels. you get 2 or 3 ults a game and have to really think about when to use them. Get rid of evo caches and only way to upgrade evo is through dealing damage to other players.
>>1968364octane's ult is the most inconsequential ult and can be like a 20 second cooldown for all it matters
>>1968366He needs a couple cooldown stacks on stims where he can use it without taking damage, then after he burns those it does damage. Make the jumpad also a c4 you can remote detonate
Honestly i just miss when abilities were like they used to be. this game was so good untill season 8 and its been all downhill power creep since. now they are just going full retard.
woo boy, I keep forgetting to not move upright while being cloaked as Mirage in those Seer ults.It's like the first time I see them again since cloaking became a thing.
>>1968393All the abilities are getting too complicated. I'm too old for this shit.
>>1968393We need the old muzzle flash back.
>Sparrow ult can be one-clipped by a single enemy and slows you and your teammates if you try to use it to pushThey didn't just make it shitty, they made it a liability. What's the utility now, just making the enemy burn a little ammo getting rid of it? Fusey's tactical has more use
Watty!
>>1968852they really nerfed the silly petite to the ground :(
>>1968111It's still an upgrade from every mouth breather dropping on containment or labs
>>1968111I swear i have barely played KC ranked yet, it seems to always be Edistrict or something else
>>1968856Am i the only one fucked up in the head enough to see melted corpses in the volcanic rock.Well atleast not fucked up enough to push wattson into a volcano D:
The duality of Apesex
You did get a 4k on every legend in wildcard didn't you?
>>1969330Somehow, I didn't even beat my damage record from normal BR
>>1968393Abilities should augment gun-play and not the other way around like it is happening now. It feels like everyone's default is to whip out their abilities instead of using their guns.
I can't play the wildcard anymore the streetshitter flatline ruins it entirely, it's so fucking broken you die before you even understand you're being shot at, more than r99 damage but at any range and with a huge mag.If you have it and the enemy don't it's over for them, if they have it and you don't it's over for you, if you both have it whoever shoots first wins in the most retarded chaos infested shit ever where you get shot in the back before you even have any idea anyone is even in the area.Fundamentally retarded shit.
>>1969211i saw it too
>>1969536It's wildcard, don't take it so seriously
>>1969536Idk it sounds like you're playing the victimcard not the wildcard, anon
>>1969211Checked, me too.
>>1970432This image has been nade from the wrong angle
3 games to star ranked to day. 1st had an afk path. 2nd a 3 stack of preds apes us in plat. 3rd rampart just runs away the moment we start fighting so she can sit by a crafter and respawn us. Im already over it
>>1970530first game I got hard carried by a smurf duo. second got a duo with masters badges that didn't seem to understand the basics of the game. third game no teammates at all
W-wattson?
