First for cumming inside Loba!
>>2084767>>2084773>/worst girls/ in 2022+3
Returned a season or two ago, game still dead from EAs infinite greed and the playerbase consisting of more cheaters than legit playersI really really miss this game. Is complete death inevitable at this point?
>>2084801I actually think it's on the (slight) upswing because it's not the darling of the masses anymore so everyone left pretty much wants to be there for their own reasons, good or ill. All other issues aside, it has been pretty resilient with everything else coming out over time. Obviously it'd be a lot healthier if better managed of course.
I stopped playing when they rolled out the counterstrike ripoff mode and forced you to play it for dailies. Have they fixed that, and is there anything worth coming back for since then?
>>2085040They don't force you to play any mode, so I guess so.
>>2084777would
>>2084811Well thats goodI just hope that addressing the cheaters wont sink the game
>Alliance >TSM>SSG>KCP>ENVY>FNATICNot talking about ALGS, I'm talking about THE FINALS Major! Now live!Uh, I mean, you got bamboozled!
>enemy over here!>Hard push>3 seconds later>I'm down!>Dollar store mic activates >Omg fucking idiots I fuck your mother you fucking retard
>>2084767>>2084773>>2084777valk is best girl
i have 450 shards, should i just go for it babs?
I've had shards for years and never bought a single heirloom.
>>2085771Our dear valkyrie requires another 'buff'. All her voicelines are about being hungry, after all.
>>2085040But that was kino and fun (sometimes) (...ok actually it was kind of shit but i still miss it even though they brought it back a couple seasons ago)
>>2084811Why does it always die at the end of the year too... seasonal depression? peoples hands cold? lolalso how the fuck did it peak during 2023? (assuming it wasn't just all the bots respawn threw in before making the bots official later on)
>>2086423>how the fuck did it peak during 2023This is steam stats, the game was exclusively on EAs origin app initially, it was already in decline when they released it on steam, and the transition from origin to the broken EA app pushed alot of people to switch platforms
PROVE YOU ARE NOT A DICKLESS PUSSY TRANS LEGENDS WILL NEVER BE REAL LEGENDS
>>2086456Whenever it was while I was gone they decided to nerf him, I'm so glad that they didHaving to hear his disgusting honking duck voice every match was part of the reason why I quit, now after a couple hundred games Ive only heard it once
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq0joZ24D9YWhen was the first time you played Apex? I was a week 1 player and this theme evokes so many emotions, particularly nostalgia and all the good things I associate with 2019.
>>2086955I started S2, after I built my PC. But I'm the biggest dumbass in the world and didn't know until recently the battle pass was free as long as you maxxed it, which I did many times. RIP.One of the problems with getting rid of the dropship is now the music never plays. It loses a lot of atmosphere.
>>2086960Man I haven't played in 3 years I didn't even know they removed the dropship. I miss S0 Apex so much....I don't remember the particulars but the feelings I associate with that time period are warm and fuzzy.
>>2086968I actually think a lot of the game is in a pretty good shape, as far as balancing. Watos talked about this recently, there's no overwhelming weapon meta, no really oppressive legends. Unfortunately the problems are now more general, and probably won't get fixed until Apex 2, if at all.Apex on release was a very broken, unbalanced, unoptimized game. You can go back and see vods anytime, it even looked crude. There was a reason all the algs teams were the same comp back then.
>>2086980They purposefully had the balancing be fucked to be able to sell legend and weapon skins (remember when the brand new 20 dollar weapon skin always had superior iron sights, which they would only nerf until a new skin took that spot?)They also did spiteful shit like make excuses for not buffing loba and then giving new legends all the things they said they couldn't give her, as well as the usual lgbbq internal sabotage which forced a 180 on her character from sexy femme fatale to dykey dyke, and the multitude of increasingly faggoty legends which culminated in the honking duck tranny.They reversed course on all of this and actually decided to balance the game...months if not years after the game died and the bulk of it's playerbase abandoned it, and they STILL won't address servers, cheaters and the fact that aim assist and manual mnk aiming should never be in the same lobbies.Fuck respawn and fuck EA, I loved this game and it tided me through the scamdemic lockdowns, I made a bunch of friends in this and it was my first introduction to the somewhat gay but also comfy streamer world. Game has a special place in my heart but they shat all over it.
>>2086980>Apex on release was a very broken, unbalanced, unoptimized game. You can go back and see vods anytime, it even looked crude. There was a reason all the algs teams were the same comp back then.And it was fun. I'm not commenting on the state of the game right now, just saying that Apex was a novel experience at the time and the unbalancedness made it even more fun. It wasn't about sweating it out, it was about goofing around. Which is what I mean when I said nostalgic memories.
Why is it the more this game dies the more they shill forced nessie SLOP
>>2086456https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBeYMvXY7jA
i am trans if that matters...
>winning on WE with caustic and fuse noobs, while accidentally picking conduitThe weekend queue miracle
>>2086955I played on Xbox a few times when it came out, and i didn't stick around until the Loba or Rev season, but i've played mostly since May 2021.Those peak times during the bygone lockdown/coof era, you just can't hold a candle to it
>>2085586Holy fuck. Alliance still exists?t.dotard
>>2088364i think this skin is the first time valk hasnt had some giant bulky jetpack harness cvering her chest
>>2087044>sexy femme fatale to dykey dykeTo be honest, in my own experience, sexually charged Latinas being bisexual is the least surprising thing ever.
This game would be a lot more fun if it had proximity chat.
>>2088464Would've been better if they changed her into a sexually charged bisexual instead of a butch dyke
Our girl q_ella is live!
after 890 hours this faggot nigger game finally gave me my very first shards, fucking dogshit
Also, I wanna complain:WHY THE FUCK RESPAWN NIGGERS ALWAYS PAIR ME WITH ANOTHER 1 OR 2 SUPPORTS IF 99% OF MY FUCKING MATCHES ARE WITH LIFELINE?NO, I DON'T WANT TO PLAY WITH LOBA AND MIRAGE WHILE I'M LIFELINE, WHY THE FUCK IS MY TEAM ALWAYS THE MENTAL MIDGET NIGGERS????????ALWAYS A FUCKING TEAM FULL OF SUPPORTS, SICK OF IT.
>>2089023Pick something else then
>>2089030no, STUPID FAGGOTI play the supp, the other 2 animals can go unga bunga for all I care, just don't pick another support and letr me do my job
>>2089023>shitter Lifeline paired with other shitters>OMG, WHY!?I have never seen a random support player that could win a 1v1. You probably run a Sentinel too.
In 5 years of playing, I can count the number of good lifeline randoms I've ever gotten on my penis.
>>2089058I get that you like to sub, but can't you dom sometimes?
this game is awful, i'd recommend you don't play it
My penis is fantastic, I'd recommend you suck on it long and hard
What is the random shit hovering in the air that my Valk ult scans? There's usually 2 or 3 next to each other
>>2086514They'll probably buff this tranny in the next season by making windows breakable and requiring a troony black goo to seal it back
saarrr saarrrrrive been playing since fucking launch saaarswhere's my bloody shards saaaarbloody respawn you benchods give me my fucking shards saarrr
>>2089072I 100% would shit on your nigger bronze head with a sentinel vs your r99
>>2090536LMAO; this bronze mirage got caught
>>2091023>nooooooooooooooo!!! you can't play the guns you like!!! You have to use controller and r99 like 9)% of the sweaty tryhard faggots REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE158 dmg dealt right in your little nigger head LOL
>incoherent REE'ing>things that never happen LOL*copies ALGS loadouts*heh nothing personnel kid
Why are you guys saying the N word?
>>2091499It's just the bronzie support fag saying thathe's missing shots with his Sentinel so ignore him. even Hiswattson said not to use it. Run an R9 or PK and you'll be fine.https://youtube.com/watch?v=OPh7gHnEchM
>>2091521>troon blindly listens to that washed faggot who can only stomp in bot lobbiesKEKAROOOOO!
I'm not reading some schizo's comment that says "KEKAROO" unironically
>xe's seething so hard that xe needs to pretend like xe doesn't read postsOMEGA KEKAROOOOO
>>2091499>the N word?
>>2091023I wish I was bronze :( Bronze is fun.I don't like how they now semi-correctly guess your actual rank at the start of each season.
>mande now infecting my comfy taxi2g arc raiders streamsI can't stand this fucking goober, he talks like a fucking retard.
is E-dickshit that bad still, that they have to remove it from the game every 3 months?
>>2085586For me, it's APE...... x
HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS WORK
>>2093756that's the cool part, it doesn't. Enjoy your 2 bronze shitters vs Faide and his cult of sweat nigs
>taking a break from Battlefield Redsex>climb from Plat 2 to Plat 1 in 1.5hrsthat was fun but time to go back to a real game
I have 150 heirloom shards and I'm indecisive. Should I just go for the 2 pack bundle and hope for something cool?
controlniggers ruined this game. >bbb-but muh mnk won algsSo why aren't controlniggers switching to mnk then? Fuck controlniggers
there's no fucking way you niggers are still stuck at gold/plat right??
>>2094549I'm plat 3 but I keep getting stuck with silver/gold randoms who throw my games away.I just tried another game on a whim with valk who I never play and we ended up winning lol, I literally never even ulted. The lobby quality is super variable at different times of day.
>>2094553if you can win your 1v1s then your teammates literally doesn't matter. this game is only team based when its on high level comp
>>2094558That is horseshit. Watos gets rolled all the time in solo q. He even said that pubs and plat/diamond are more sweaty than pred lobbies yesterday. No one takes high level ranked seriously anymore.
>>2094561i solo q to d2 every season and yeah diamond lobbies are pretty sweaty but if you genuinely take plat seriously you are straight dogshit. who the fuck is watos.
>>2094468>always see people complain about controller aim assist>get a controller teammate>he can't hit shity dis
I only come back and play when a cool looking reactive skin is in the battle pass. They have been on a dogshit streak lately minus the Nemesis one so I havent played the game seriously in months.
I had a crazy ass dream last night. It was apex on steroids. Like you have 100x hp, unlimited qs, many people in the same area. It was complete mayhem.
has the lag been fucking horrendous for anyone else in the past ~24h?
>only getting epics from the event packsI hate item bloat
>>2089092The curse of being a starter AND tutorial legendThat being said, the default nigger medic in dirty bomb (fuck thats like 11 years old now) was always mained by the best players. Diff games i guess. You don't notice "randoms/noobs" as much in a team shooter
I'm a psychopath that doesn't play with sound on that high... and i never noticed that fucking Horizon hologram on the waiting screen making those "sounds" constantly, wtf
I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE WHEN WE ARE ROTATING AND THERE IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE AN ENEMY TEAM AND THEN IM IN A 1V3 FOR NO REASON WHAT SOEVER WHEN MY TEAMMATES ARE LITERALLY RIGHT BEHIND ME IN THE MOST OPEN EASY TO SEE LOCATION WITH THE MOST ANGLES POSSIBLE FUCKING CLUELESS RETARDSSSSSSSSSSSS
>>2094577Fuck off faggot
>noob wrangling on olympus, inside the ring most of the time but everything still feels like an uphill battle>last 3-4 squads>need to rotate with valk ult>only the loba sees me ping my ult 10 seconds in advance and joins >octard still crouch spamming and fighting behind rock with the squad blocking us>i hesitate to launch for a few seconds, waiting for said octard>my loba teammate fucking bails on me at the last second and i half accidentally just fly into the ring and dieServes me right for trying to play a team game like it's a team game. Impossible to wrangle some shitters, BUT i get it though, i also once found it hard to focus on multiple things at once in such situations... still retarded as fuck
>>2095200nope, what region you in
>>2094558>win a 1v1>Lifeline, Loba, Vantage or Mirage teammates get knocked doing 30 dmg each>now it's a 1v2 good luck
>>2095695eu
>Rev player with 0 dmg using a Sentinel>Octane that can't aim for shit>Lifeline/Loba bronze player with a silver Wraith boyfriend these people should be banned from ranked
>>2095600>>2094577The only true way to enjoy this game is to be a premade of 3 and it's always been this way but it's way less fun now because you just noob stomp to mid diamond and from there it's just playing against cheaters, where you need to cheat to compete, just sucks the fun out of all skill brackets, noob stomping can be fun but it gets boring quick and you rank out of it quick anyway unless you smurf, but then it still gets boring unless you're an actual psychopath
Just got put into a wildcard match 75% full of botted accounts and somehow I was the only one on my team that got a 4k
>>2095779Idk then, i play london servers usually after 6pm and seeme fine recentlly, though havent played regularly the past week or so
>>2095853It would bruise shitters (who don't cheat) ego if they were forced to git gud a little before jumping into competitive. they want to do the bare minimum and LARP as a streamer.
Is rampart the new shitter character? Kept getting them today and all of them were terrible.
i haven't played since they added the guy with the free xray passive, xray ability, and xray ulthas xray gotten a major nerf since then?
>>2096313Any character in a hero based shooter that has abilities that just deal damage is a shitter magnet rampart has sheila which makes her an automatic shitter magnet see fuse and vantage as well
>>2096325scan meta has been dead for a while except for sparrow but he's mainly popular for his double jump and ultimate
Anyone know what happened to Reps? His last upload was a year ago.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51tRj-GXRhU
>>2096434Looks like he is retired his twitch has been quiet for about the same time.A lot of apex channels are barely active have switched games or just don't upload anymore.People have been joking that apex is dead for years but it pretty much is now.
For me it was when every time I played ranked I ran into cheaters, that's when I thought... okay that's enough of this stupid game.Esports also lost all appeal when they kept changing the rules for every tournament.Retarded ass dev studio.
>>2096520>season 12I laugh at retards with ancient badges or the S17 master badge. They always get knocked first and start crying.
Broken troon is a fucking brutal map
Nice to know it still works, thanks Sanjay/AI model
>get teammates like this in Plat 1 twice in a rowI'm uninstalling it now. Maybe Arc Raiders or Battlefield might be better.
>>2099125I remember getting a teammate in a pub match once that did 0 damage in 13 minutes of gameplay.The thing is, we got into several long firefights, thirded a few teams, and I would see this player firing their gun the whole time. I figured they might not be doing amazingly, but they're getting some hits in. I did 2K or so, other teammate did just a few hundred, and then I saw this teammate had done 0 damage in all that fighting and it's one of the very few times I actually bothered to complain in chat, "you did 0 damage that whole match?" and they disconnected
I really really really really really hate what they've done to Olympus.
>>2099125All wraith players are crossdressers
I have mythic shards and I don't really have a main. Should I just get a universal heirloom like the Sky Piercer?
>>2096313Buffed this season. quite a lot. still seem to be just as many as last season
>>2099125>its time for your daily pegging session mirage
The double tap trigger alternator is actually crazy consistent, and you can use it within like a couple minutes with Ballistic's ultMakes (fairly) early fights trivial. This shit is pretty ridiculous at CQC but of course much more dubious at longer range. completely forgot to try taking full advantage of the new hop ups with ballistic, and its a month into the season.
>>2086456yes>>2087544checked and stay the course /wattobab/>>2088372Same with the current event Horizon>>2091521He was playing some sentinel recently and was cooking, but still stands by this more or less. If you're an aim freak and set your expectations properly, you'll have a good time. Burst or full auto will always dominate in this game mid to long range because you will always miss some shots, be it server connection, bad aim, or the enemy moves unpredictably>>2095645just be selfish. they'll be seething while dead but you'll be alive and right
I was on the valks side at the start of the match when the loot goblin took atleast 4 minutes to just get to the outskirts of where we were fighting, but by the end i realised i would much rather have the loba player on my team (even though they both died instantly to the final squad's push)
>>2101946> they'll be seething while deadSame outcome really. in that tight situation it's pretty much make or break with little other room unless i get away with rotating and ratting
I just realized my FoV has been 80 since basically forever. What FoV am I supposed to be playing with?
>>2102520110 or 120 whatever is the limit, idk how 99% subhumans like you end up in my team while fighting 3 streamer predator stacks
>>2102520I use 105 on an ultrawide
New gpu, new me. Plat 1 by the end of the month
>>2102520rollertard moment
>>2102555You might want to check if your home has a gas leak or lead paint
>>2104375Meant for >>2102968
>>2102968Does it help much over a normal monitor? i feel like it would be hard to adjust to and not ideal for all use cases
Literally everyone's on roller in this game now. Every time I die, it's another rollercam. Fuck respawn with a rusty cactus.
>>2104446Not massively, you have a little more peripheral vision but I don't think it's a game changer or anything>>2104375Why's that?
Fuck fuck I want to dieI don't know why I'm so fucking uselessI just spent like half my rent money on this game Somebody kill me please I'm human trash
>>2105000>I just spent like half my rent money on this gameThe game is free to play and the vast majority of the cosmetics can be obtained without spending any money. Did you really want the katana heirloom that badly?
>>2105000>I'm useless bend over and let me use your assit's not like you're getting much use of it
>season 28 leaks say dual wingman is the next big weapon updateWesternbros, is our time finally coming?
>>2105030it doesn't even matter because im not using it just seeing it makes me nauseous jacking off didn't even made me feel any betteridk why but im just so fucking stupid and i can't do anything right and i always do the wrong decisions idk what to do anymoreplease i need somebody to torture and rape mei need somebody to take care of me and make decisions for me im too fucking stuppid
landing spots on this new olympus map suckmaybe just because its a new map but what the fuck is the point of solo queueing with 2 teammates always going in opposite directionsidk if its just the quality of person playing the game has dropped, idk what exactly it is but this is just every match now
>>2105000>>2105361please be bait please be shitposting
>>2105381It's ruined man, the map has been ruined.Now every map looks and plays exactly the same, the same generic buildings and ziplines are on every map.Remember when World's Edge had a train and those towers in choke points? I remember.
>>2105395if my cunt allows guns i wouldve blown my brains already. im too cowardly to die painfully
>>2105444Speaking of that, they havent brought back any old version of WE in quite a while
Make respawning your teammates not laughably easy again. Round 2/3 is just constant respawns right next to eachother. 15 squads left at round 4 is genuinely crazy
>>2105444>>2105498are we even getting winter express this year?
>>2105658well seeing as halloween sucked ass, probably not (they need to force wildcard slop, you see)
they better give us winter expressit's not xmas until I hear this music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4YtZeD9iu8
Well I guess the game thinks I'm good enough I'm getting put in pred lobbies officially now. Before I only ever saw former preds. Don't know if that means I'm actually better or just that the playerbase has shrunk that badly.
>>2106192Once you get into plat you can get pulled into pred lobbies.
>>2106317Must have changed something then because I was all through plat without any and only just started getting some. I guess preds complained or something.
>>2106385They apparently loosened the parameters to reduce the queues in higher lobbies.
>lag the fuck out sometimes when fighting teams>game closes randomly when fighting teamsIt only happens to me in this game, either my internet is shit (it's not), my pc is shit (it's not) or something fishy is going on.Am I thinking too hard about it? I remember some retards did this back then in LoL.
>>2106565The game dynamically sorts server priority so that the rats and shitters cost nothing to process.Respawn can and will decide that they will simply not improve your list order for processing server side, so that the whitelisted players can be as demanding as they want and feel like the game runs correctly. You are not allowed to have semblance of fairness when they already decided that you will be a loser this match. The EOMM shitting the bed means that your client side inputs are just a hallucinated wishlist and you should go back to not changing the server state by playing with/like the shitters they weighed you down with who have internalized that doing damage is for the VIPs with server priority.
remember when pex was fun?
>>2107646There's like 3 of us. I don't wanna hear this "aim smothing" bs. I've worked on the patterns in firing range, I focus train on specific guns in mixtape/slopcard, and there's always a little bit of variance in bullet spread when you're ADSing at a target far enough. streamers seem to have none of that though.Anyway, story time.>be me>queue for broken troon ranked yesterday (first mistake)>queue on a weekend on NA (second mistake)>saddled with two (2) under 100 accounts every game. >won't push a fight on a crack>won't fire their guns>every engagement we die to a coordinated 3 stack who pushes on a crack, has recoil management>gettingsickofthisshit.png>switch to EU>everyone's shit, but they're more aggressive>we get some team fights, get some knocks>top 5 games e'ry timeAlso, the map is so shit since its last update. so many bottleneck kill zones. Especially hard to wrangle your average mouthbreather NA players to go play ring because otherwise you vill get held out and you vill like it.
AAAAAAAAAA I HATE DUONIGGERS>refuse to push>just want to ROOOOTATE and revive>down 2 enemies>still wont push>even when the other teammate pushes they still wont push>tries to revive me right next to them>AND THE OTHER TEAM HAS A FUCKIGN LIFELINE SO THEY LITERALLY HAVE TO PUSH OR WE ARE FUCKED
We were literally right on top of this lifeline, downing both their teammates, all he had to do was jump in and shoot at him.... i seriously fucking hate these "im so fucking tactical" people NO YOU ARE JUST SHIT, YOU HAVE NO CONFIDENCE, YOU ARE NOT CLEVER YOU ARE JUST COPING
>>2109041EU are individual skill players, NA are team players. That is just generally what i see in a few random genres.
Some 15 year old (combined) discord duo had an absolute MELTDOWN at me just then. Fucking hell these little psychopaths are going to be fighting in WW3.
>Worlds edge ranked>EU (L*ndon server)>Sunday (braindead open mic normie/underage subhumans desperately grinding before work/school tomorrow)this is NOT comfy, soloq bros...
>>2109320>>2109325>>2109361this is what I gather from news about other games like ARC and so on. Every region has a very distinct character. NA players (especially console + pc duos) aren't tactical, though, nor team oriented. They're not using their mic or pings. They refuse to engage because they learned early that shooting their gun sends them back to the main menu. Just a bit of confidence would change their game. Play the other game modes where dying doesn't matter and it really changes things. I engage in fights that I skill out hard, but I don't think, "oh, jee. shooting my gun in a gun shooting game is getting me killed, so I just won't do it". A purely defensive strategy is a losing one. I also think most players can't track the flow of battle, don't understand tempo (you crack an enemy, so you've got 5 seconds more or less to move in on his position if you're far). I think that's sometimes an IQ issue, but also sometimes an education one (some people will try to come to understand it if you teach them. Analysis is not natural to them).>>2109365they're 15. don't let it bother you
>>2105547what a stupid retard lol I'm glad you have 0% impact on the games decisions.
The hemlock is just a shitty version of the nemesis
>>2105547honestly the craft/respawn mechanic has ruined solo q in yet another way - teamfight starts, one squad member gets cracked, one other guy zipnigs/pads out immediately like he's got an ejector seat strapped to his assThen it's 5 minutes of watching this idiot run across the map and a 50/50 chance of getting to a replicator, with a 25% chance of not getting immediately ganked when hitting the beacon.They should just rename ranked "rat royale" at this point
More people get angry in Wildcard than I expected. To me, Wildcard is a warm-up. I'm not going to land with you, I'm not going to finish the guy who's 1, I probably won't even revive you unless you're right there and it's safe. It's just a bit of aim practice and a mode to fuck around in. I don't understand the people that bother raging and trying to give commands to their teammates.
>>2109821because shitters and scrubs always fester those retard game modes out of sheer fear of being shown just how utterly dogshit they really are. They can't deal with the constant 0 kills deaths and the eternal double digit damage they bring to the table in unranked/ranked so they make wildcard of w/e meme mode is avaliable their "main game mode" and then proceed to act and pretend like their meme tier game mode for retard clowns is as "srs bsns" as a masters ranked lobby.Absolutely pathetic but it's literally the only way no skill retard clowns can justify still wasting their time and money on this game
this game sucks
>>2109732I can never find a heavy mag when i pick it up for some reason, it just feels awful if i don't have attachments and sight. probably skill issue too
>>2109041niggayou jitter aim? your w? or literally just drag your mouse slightly whenever your aiming? this game has the softest recoil that learning bullet pattern literally doesn't matter. god you fags suck
>That anti-cheat dev postIt's MUCH more over than previously thought
>>2111281qrd? how over we talking here
turns out the steelseries clipper is terrible on intel gpus. in paradise on medal.tv, no stutters or drops. ambient occlusion still sucks but luckily its beneficial to keep it disabled for better visibilty
>>2111706They posted it on reddit again.https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/1phjchk/dec_2025_anticheat_data_share/Quick notes you can skip if you want>From the provided graphs which only document from March of this year, the season 24 split had the highest cheater volume of 10%, meaning 1/10 matches had some kind of cheater>The graph also displays that this rarely rate ever drops below 6% at any point from March until now>Cheater volume appears to (mostly) be highest at the start of the season and it's end with lower numbers in the middle>Respawn claims to have handed out 92k bans for season 26 aloneThat's what they themselves report. Now for what anyone with a brain can read between the lines.>This data is what Respawn CAN detect, meaning the actual numbers are higher than this>The notably low rate of cheating on console is additional proof of this, as anyone on console can tell you cheating is rampant especially with new things such as the Titan>They make specific mention of making short 24 hour bans (because of the recent controversy) before their "Anti-Cheat team completes a thorough investigation", meaning it takes manual review, IE their anticheat doesn't work>This is clearly shown with the recent #1 pred cheater who cheated blatantly for ages and admitted to it, streaming it, and something was only done when their team manually banned him outside of their anti-cheat system>These stats are also for ALL ranked games, meaning it includes the lower levels where cheaters aren't likely to remain for very long at all. This means anything above gold is likely to have a higher rate than reportedIf you're a plat player or better you likely have more than 10% of your games with some form of cheater in them. Diamond is probably closer to 15%. Respawn is notoriously bad at detecting cheats to the point we had an anon back in /vg/ making his own for fun and chatting about how easy it was and things have only gotten worse since then.Very VERY over.
>>2111755Very little of that is specific to Respawn. Bf6 is full of them too. I don't think they have the hw access to detect these external device cheats.
>>2111755consoles are essentially DRM boxes, why are they having so many problems with these little boxes?is it like a form of hardware cheat?ah I like competitive multiplayer games but it's too frustrating to constantly play vs cheaters
While the cheaters in this game is a real problem, I just can't wrap my head around how bad respawn is at matchmaking.I'm like 0.7 - 0.8 KDA, only reached platinum ONCE because I got carried by friends and when I solo queue I hard stop at reaching Gold yet the game has decided 1 or 2 seasons ago that I'm top 3% of skilled players in this game and every single pub is nothing but diamonds, masters and preds. I wish I was being a fucking hysteric cunt but I swear every single game so far is always on the very VERY far right side of that stupid bell curve graph they show before the character selection, and I always get raped by insane r99 beamers with double hammers and 20 bombs in their profiles. My biggest damage ever was 2,300 with like an average of 300-350 dmg per game yet somehow I am forever cursed to play versus the most sweaty unemployed niggers ever conceived in this realm.Wtf is wrong with the nigger devs where a fucking 0.7 KDA and a maximum reached rank of platinum player is considered to be on the same skill level as a fucking xim titan cronus or simply isane godlike skilled imbecile with 4+ KDA double hammer and 20 bomb
>>2111818it's an impossible task really. There's so many players in a lobby you can't please everyone. I agree though, it's ridiculous that because you're a slightly competent player you end up getting matched with straight up demons constantly.You'd probably get better matchmaking if you bought shit from their store.
>>2111829YES, I bought with some steam money the black friday 100 apex pack like a week ago and GUESS WHAT! I got fucking ez as fuck lobbies for a whole whooping 2 day string before the game said "that enough fun for you back to being fodder for the cheaters and streamers"I got these screenshoots in just 3 lobbies, If I had a screenshot for every master/pred that kills me or I (rarely) kill him then I'd have 100s in a single apex session, it's fucking ridiculous, and I can prove my KDA too just need to boot up apex but if needed I can show how I'm not even ONE (1) KDA in my 2 year long history playing this game, my best is like 0.78 3 seasons ago and lowest was like 0.27 on my first month kek
forgot the screenshot but yeah, I wish I could fight silver-gold-platinum players who I'm pretty sure I belong to in terms of objective skill but no, the STUPID RESPAWN NIGGERS have decreed I'm forever cursed to battle agaisnt masters and preds even my pubs, actually pubs feels waaaay sweatier than rank at this point.
>>2111845That's been the case for a long time now. Actually most pubs players are better than ranked because they get used to whole teams just fighting them over and over again. Ranked is a lot of waiting and positioning.
>>2111755>>2111759Cheating is just more noticeable in apex. someone who has shit movement, game sense but can laser you across the map
>>2111872Yeah, the longer TTK makes it more obvious. Whereas you have no idea what kills you in COD cause even in regular play it's blink and ur ded crack addicts.
I'm just coming back from around the release of seer. Can someone give me a rundown of what all of this new bullshit is?
>>2111897theres 3 new maps but no need to worry, none of them are in the game right now.
>>2111904What's this about the evo stuff and character-specific upgrades? Are any of the older legends still good?
>>2111904If I get a mirage/octane/loba/crypto/seer on my team I quit as soon as the game allows you to, those 5 legends are like playing with one of those firing range dummies as allies instead of real players with real characters that actually do something in the game
>>2111927>are like playing with one of those firing range dummiesDepends what settingthey can actually strafe and damage you which is already well ahead of quite a few so called people's abilities>>2111926I mean legend wise its actually quite balanced, most are viable. or as viable as before. Such older legends like valk, horizon and rampshart got buffed this season too.Perks are unlocked alongside evo progression. Some perks upgrade abilities and some allow you just to access the benefits of other legend's types, such as recon or support.
>>2111818>>2111845I used to have that low of kda but improved. I got to a max of diamond 4 before getting my ass beat back down out of it then got my shit together and tried again. I can tell you a few things>Loads of people these days have 4k's and 20 bombs that aren't good enough for them. They either abused bot lobbies, get help from friends or got them in the new modes that hand them out for free. Even I stay alive longer and do more damage and I'm still not really good.>Same with masters badges, it's a free badge if you have decent enough friends who can comm. That's all you need, just comms and unemployment. Sink enough time into it and manage to comm and you'll be above enough solo Q to claw your way up there even if only barely.>The bell curve thing is just a straight up lie they implemented after a season (can't remember which) where everyone was shitting on their MM to try convincing everyone "you're totally good and belong in that demon lobby BRO" to keep the lie goingThis game is 90% EA smoke and mirrors
>>2112019that's exactly how the bell curve feels desu, just one giant lie made of cope, sometimes I'm at the literal extreme of the right side (So I guess my team is ALGS worthy) yet then the game shows you your own squad they are new account with lvl 27 or something and not a single badge, and sometimes I'm just slightly to the right in the very middle of the bell curve, yet one of my teammates is some ex pro pred that raped 16 players and racked 3k damage before dying to another r99 demon while I could barely keep his pace and got 2 or 3 kills and 1k dmg AT BEST more like 600-700 just by following that no lifers trail of carnage
>>2111781The titan box is just a USB bridge and looks like a regular PS controller to the console, so it doesn't know any different.It gives zero recoil because you can put the exact recoil pattern of the r99 into it, and controller fakery means that AA doesn't get turned off when using a mouse.
>>2112364Pretty crazy. R99 is too hard for me to use on PC the recoil and fire rate is absurd
>>2112381I can beam shit in the firing range, but in an actual match I'm doing 10% accuracy

>it was at that moment that he knew: he fucked up
>>2112775i thought this guy went to jail for beating his wife
>teammates are a duo>neither of them has any kind of plan>also don't listen to youThank god for replicators
>>2113696it's unreal how many people only boot up the game on their PC/console to simply drop and die in near infinite succession. I was playing pubs and was jumpmaster, so I landed on a random spot with only 1 team following us, I didn't even say anything because I mean the minimap literally shows you 3 red triangles flying close to your landing, yet the first thing my retard revenant does at landing is jumping right where the 3 enemies where, I was dumbfounded and legit thought he was trolling/throwing so the other random and I start pinging him that there's enemies there, 2 seconds later he dies by triple beam and procceds to type "you should have pinged way way before" like holy shit how fucking subhuman you have to be to not even being able to realize another team is dropping close and then procced to jump right in the middle of them without a single weapon, die and blame the teammates who actually pay attention to whats happening in the game already.I sincerely hope AI can become a standard for teammates instead of having to babysit literal NIGGER RETARDS that play as bad as is humanly possible thanks to a double digit IQ
>>2113606I've been liking Wattson's videos a lot lately.
i hope every mirage main kys asap NOW
>>2113717The game can be really fucking boring depending on how you play.Sure dropping and instantly fighting another team is dumbBut on the other hand dropping safe and rotating into the zone whilst looting only to die to the first team you meet after 10 minutes is awful.It is my main gripe with battle royale games.
>Very first game in diamond for the season I get instantly lit up around a corner with perfect aim>Then get ratted on by some faggot hide-and-go-seek valkAaaaaand I'm done
Welp. D3-D2 might be my resting place. Holy fuck...
>>2112775Let me guess, Apex 2 will be using Unreal Engine and kernel level anti-cheat. The performance issues will be even worse and the invasive anti-cheat will barely do anything.Online multiplayer games are cooked, as the kids say. The only way to save this mess is for private dedicated servers to make a comeback. They worked just fine for many years from 1995 to 2015, it will work fine again when devs and publishers stop being such humongous faggots.
I swear the features they've added have reduced the average IQ in this game by like 20 points. Weapon racks and health bars especially.
>>2113606are those caustic traps on a fucking trident
>new gpu >fps not even dipping by more than 5 below 180 cap (on gun run)
>>2114827speculation seems to be that it will just be ugraded on the source engine or smth. cant imagine they would fuck it up that badly but i can see some of the problems already
>french/arab teammate>schizophrenic IGL>obsessed with crafting banner of our clueless newcastle teammate who keeps dying, no matter the cost>open mic NA zoomer on a call with a friend speaking in ebonics the entire time giving relationship advice or something>can literally hear his roller sticks through the micironically both matches weren't that bad in the end, probably because there was confirmation they were atleast real people with obvious way of playing
>>2115422Whereas every time I've gotten big chungus white aryans saying nigger on the mike, they've shit the bed epically. I'm starting to think racists just aren't very smart or competent.
>>2115432but he was shit and retarded... we just had a reliable third to glue us together>people say bad word when they shit the bedyou dont say
ahemif you would please consult the chart
>>2115442Well it's randoms. But I'm not really kidding, occasionally I get something cute like Bdolf Pitler and 9 times out of 10 it's some shitter lifeline or rampart who screams like a girl when the firing starts. >86iq

>another f2p hero shooter from apex/titanfall devslmfao! titanfall fans are on suicide watch
Just because they have worked on titanfall and or apex doesn't mean the game is from the same devs that made titanfall and apex, just as a heads up.Also it looked fucking terrible.
https://youtu.be/rh6Pi6h_css?si=akEovQmwqtrOACSLi'll probably still give it a try since the female characters are fine, but this definitely gives 1-2 year max uptime vibes.

>>2119546Which game are you talking about?
