>>2507100Just pick up a controller and let aimbot pick the real target for you, it's that shrimple
Plat 2, logged infirst game>some random guys who can't dropsecond game>duo with a laggy fuck that doesn't want to relog and a mate that randomly stop movingthird game>duo with each going their own way, i go help one, we almost win the fight and he run off to go help his mate that is like 2000km from himfourth game>duo that want me too loot extended bin during fight and only play near each other, if you go near them they literally escapeThis game become unplayable. Why the fuck do i get this much duo? it started happenning since they announnced the next update, maybe they changed something internally. I have been playing since 2024 and was only getting 10% of duo. Now i can lose 4 TIME IN A ROW at PEAK HOUSE and get the same duo 4 time

>play solo ranked>get the same hotdropping lifeline jumpmaster 3 times in a row>instantly diehaha, is funny since im drunk
>>2507806>and get the same duo 4 timeThis is the absolute worst part of this joke of a matchmakign systemwho the fuck wants to match with the same teammates if you didn't add them on your friends list or queue with them again voluntarily? evil
>>2512317it's even worse if you deliberately waited a couple of minutes before requeuing and still end up with the same people somehow
>>2512317I think they tweaked matchmaking because they gonna be removing soon SoloQ after diamondOut of 30 games, i got like 15-17 duo (i'm not joking, console players, or same coms/voicechat). I never got this much in 3-4 years of ranked and qp. Having those guys complaining because you don't help but they hotdrop on 2 bin because they are scared of the big bad team, why even play
Does anyone else sometimes drop next to squads that drop last/ land in the middle of bumfuck nowhere?Well they are usually the bad-mediocre squads but also sometimes the better squads/sweaty handholders do this too... that being said a good number of times they are going to be solo queuers who were afk or kept passing jumpmaster, which i usually fancy my chances against vs the usual gambling addict shitterdrop on (not)fragment.
>spectate random squad while queuing>rollertard with nearly 3000 damage>can't hit a single shot with care package G7 >switches it out when he still has a couple clips leftbaffling aimassissy moment
>>2512421All signal. The soloq mm with 100% duos who just drift around completely mindlessly between the two in a private chat, no pings, almost no tact/ult use, never for team play, and the one player is usually very bad, and the other who carries does it just to play ignorant and NOT learn the game. And this is every game. These players are much worse than the old rats who know that they are rats avoiding most fighting. But these duos NEVER ever want to participate in the fight you engage in, no matter how obvious the play is they really want to be away from you shooting your gun. At around 10-12 teams left there are 0 players left in my lobby that these duos can 2v1, and they are aggressively igorant of this and only w key to run away. With the new legend meta w-keying is only for the elite players, everyone else just stands around casting stupid spells on stupid cooldowns.The point of axle is that the painpoint of comitting is reduced to a button press. It felt bad to w key for almost all players on m&k, how bad is it to do with sticks... So they erased the entire clock/space-angle-distance cycle of the game, because pokemon snap mario kart is exactly what the brown people want. Helmet removal is the other egregious sin... It was fully necessary to guard against magic bullet headshots granted server side to aimasissies for making a doo doo with their little dickies. Mario Paint is a game with more skill expression than modern apex. Because the DEI devs don't know better and the managers that should haven't cared for years. Brown people love cheating so why not just make the game about cheating.Respawn is fearless that there is no core player base that makes the meaning out of being a full pilot. Not enough players could even fully address and use their keybindings like a Pilot should be able to do. Instead they limited the game to the CON-TROLL-ER so that the Devs could have full control of the input space. They must bifurcate Pilot from baby mode.
Licking Conduit's sweaty brown armpits
>>2513078Waking up, 7 am, 4 game 2 duo :)Something else i noticed is that they don't have any awareness of the ring or they either don't fight (no matter what) or they will start poking every squad, like i downed 2 ppl almost 3, then the axle went other side to start poking and one guy got revived i was like "how tf?' because i was healing and reloading
Five game another duo that want me to frontline on Lifeline but they have Axle and Octane, weirdly enough very low damageAre those guys really plat? Like we are in the start of the season, i used to have those type of kind in Silver, the 100-200 dmg can't fucking jump or know how to run like "do i have to fight 5 guys while i'm alone or should i run away" despite having the best runaway character
Why didn't they put SoloQ for every rank in the phase test? Like obviously they weaked SoloQ (for my acc atleast) to get like half of the time those weird ass duo (went from 5% to 50-60% within 1 week) Going to be fun playing with 3 stack streamers in Plat and lame ass duo. Oh boy i can't wait
>>2508099Heh cool
Play seer
>>2513543+ feet + tummy
>>2516996PLAP PLAP PLAP GET PREGNANT
Holy mother of pain
>>2514240Tbh i just got a french mic duo and they were actually ok even though we lost a fight way too easily and died but atleast they communicate and coordinated as a team. I don't really mind getting duos as much when i atleast know that they are a duo and what kind of duo they are.
Vantage is so busted again, what the fuck were they thinking? I like the general long overdue improvements to the fluidity of her kit over the last couple of years, but it seems like overkill at this point.Actually i think i do know. It's another episode of "buffing the shitter pick that already got buffed because the devs/redditbabies love it" (however my teammates are definitely still NOT busted)
Just had a duo of a young guy and a girl he was trying so hard to impress it was actually gross, zoomers know absolutely no subtlety or tact it's no wonder 50% of them are virgins
>>2516996>the neatly folded panties
Just had a fun wildcard game with an arabic mic duo calling each other bro constantly and shrieking every time we pushed into a fight. We all went caustic and it was actually friggin hilarious. We came 2nd
Is it me or Storm Point is the worst map to play on with those recent buffs? the pace is way too fast with those valk+axle scanning and chasing everyone at early rings so you just gotta play defensive or valk+axle yourself
Good end: a Nordic duo who were actually pretty nice and played well!
>>2517826>>2518655>>2517048 (moi)we're healing must be the good weather or somethingbillions must requeue
>>2518750I just want to play something else than full aggro (axle/valk) or ratting in the last rings. If you fight a bit too long it get quickly miss. Love getting dove by a divebombing noise-less valk while i'm winning a fight ...
>first match of the day>it's a matching names (more tryhard sounding) duo >le sigh...>they're not even good>hotdrop>one dies with 0 dmg and i knock 2 enemies with sentinel before we are eliminatedA proper return to form for duoniggers. Don't know how much of this kind of shit i can tolerate on broken troon desuMight aswell rename this general to /duoseetheessays/ at this point.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOIdqzOhUpoNew event starting next week!
Which one of you is this?
>>2519742Well not me, should've invited him here
Seer is so good in solo q ranked I can always tell my retard team where everyone is with health bars so they can have training wheels
>>2519233>invisible cloakFuuuuuuck that means theyre testing an invisibility legend god damn I dont want the faggy marathon assassin in this game
Are they ever going to add new select animations for characters? The tab's been in the customization menu for so long but they've never made any new ones except for heirloom shard skins iirc.
>>2519233fug they better not be adding that predator cloak fx to Miragecloaking is already unreliable enough as is
>>2522497they did for wildcard
>teammate pings hotdrop>foolishly listen>immediately dcs>me and the other guy die>can't leave>have to wait 5+ minutes for him to get found on top of a roof
>>2521253or just testing some busted perk for mirage or someone
@(You)
I wonder what goes through my retarded teammates brains when they decide to split off and land next to a team of 3
>>2525080arsemal shiny
New shittalking tech. Tell them theyre why mom is single lmao
>drop and start foighting >some faggot is just sitting off in the distance watching >after we die he goes to the crafter to get bannersI get unreasonably tilted when this happens I wish death on people who cone into this shit and refuse to participate
>wipe the drop for 5 kills kill leader>faggot octane gets rezzed and turbo boosts to yeet the optics >get stuck on a 1x hemlock because we dont find shit for the rest of the match>die in the final 3 octane had 0 kills and 1300 damage because he was the only one with optics so he just blinked every team we had to run byJesus christ
>>2525405They're used to sitting in the corner and watching.
>Ash knocked one guy>Me and the other are kinda far from her>She ults anyway>immediately diesCan you fags use your fucking mics?
>>2525405>Drop>Instantly go push with no comms or even pings >Don't wait for anyone else or confirm they are ready, just expect strangers to suck your asshole by default >Die like a retard>"Omgg where the fuck were you, where the fuck were you fucking noob fuck your mother fucking noob"Many such cases
>teammate keeps spamming he doesn't have light ammo>he is running double light>other teammate with one light gun also has no ammo>we're standing on a pile of fucking deathboxes with different guns>there are enemies aroundwhy are people too fucking retarded to just pick up a different gunI understand not wanting to drop attachments but dying because you can't fire back is peak niggerwat
>>2526937Autism please understand >>2526172No because most don't and I don't like talking by myself
What compels a person on reddit to start insulting me because I mentioned having subtitles turned on? What level of tryhard is that?
>>2525080>DUDE BRO I LITERALLY CRACKED LIKE 1 OF THEM THAT WAS SO FREE>Shut the fuck up... and let me rat in peace.
>>2528961Subtitles with voice audio on or do you have it off to hear footsteps?
>>2526172Idk what kind of training wheels feature they could come up with next to remind these retards where their teammates are, but they need one. Maybe have some condescending voicelines for the characters to say like "Im not near my team, we should be near eachother so..." OH WAIT that's been a thing since the game came out
>>2529301I used to have both voices and subtitles on since it's sometimes hard to hear what the character is saying if you're in a discord call with people who aren't playing, but I've since turned both voicelines and subtitles off. Don't really fancy them too much.
>>2529298>DUDE BRO I LITERALLY CRACKED LIKE 1 OF THEM THAT WAS SO FREE I fucking randoms like this. Hell just spamming ping us enough to get me to throw the game just to spite this fuckers
>>2530640It's even better when he's fucking spamming ping when it's a 1v1.
>>2530683>>2530640idk why they haven't simply implemented an anti ping-spam mechaniclike there's no fucking normal use case for pinging 10 times in the span of 1 second
>>2530742To be fair, someone being down and live pinging the enemy location has helped me a ton of times. But yeah, it's quite annoying when a guy tries to 1v1, dies, and starts lighting up the comms.
>>2506436I've literally played the game off and on since launch. I also mained Ash since her release, as sparsely as I played. I also never even got to play her at her 100% pick rate peak broken state either. My Ash is too pure for that...But I'm broke as fuck dude, I've never even looked into how you get these crazy prestige skins because the pricing is so egregious. Apart from using Heirloom Shards you have to spend money, right? It's impossible to get it as a F2P? It's basically spending $150 guaranteed? Or heirloom shards (I still haven't gotten my free ones from Apex Pack 500)Ash FINALLY got her prestige and it's the best prestige skin they've ever made but it waits to drop when the game is basically dead and mass hated...I have her Fallen Angel skin, which up till now for me was the peak (maybe it still is...)man I can't fucking believe they released her prestige..
>people who reserve the use of their mics exclusively to cry when they dieWhat causes this behaviour?
>>2530742>>2531119I still do this, and i dont really care if it pisses teammates off or they find it distracting, if theyre in a 1v1 and look like they have no clue where the bald wraith with a peacekeeper is, i might aswell try.
Why the fuck would they start a ranked game when there's still a fucking duo in the lobby?
>>2531147welcome back. well, the game is definitely not dead and mass hated right nowyeh it has problems but its been in better shape, maybe more so just before this season. (of course i must remember i am talking to an autistic waifutard not someone who cares loads about gameplay)i played this game on and off too and got my "free" shards 2 years ago.time to grind those packs robotfucker. and be glad her heirloom sucks
>>2531930>time to grind those packs robotfucker.By this you mean the best (or only) way as a poorfag to get her Prestige if I want it is to get my free heirloom shards? But she's available forever from launch, right?>be glad her heirloom sucksI kind of hate it, like my disappointment initially immeasurable. Bdut also like it a little bit.Just the fact it's properly unique to her, and mainly the rat animations. The condom ribbing for texture and color scheme and retarded little extendo knives are stupid as hell though. My original thoughts were "I'll wait until she gets a (probably shitty, all the others are pretty shitty) prestige and then decide from there once I get my shards". I thought I'd maybe use them on a generic that still fits her like a karambit or something.>i am talking to an autistic waifutard not someone who cares loads about gameplaywell yeah to an extent, the thing is for a while I really did want to make Apex my main game and excel at it but despite playing since launch and always coming back, it's always felt like I have some input delay or something. Maybe it's just cause I'm a boomer who grew up only playing hitscan guns and characters and shooters. I don't play bullet drop FPS or aim down sights FPS so I struggle with that on top of general skill checks. Like 1/5 of my matches are 12 minutes of running around with cowards and dying on first fight, 3/5 are insta-death back to lobby, the last 1/5 are those times I enter a flowstate and kinda dominate.p.s. call me a scrub but I've also always hated the fact the game has aim-assist crossplay. But apparently they toned it down by 25% a while back?
>>2532157Aim assist is still a pretty big issue. I think someone did a breakdown and found out that only the top 0.6% of MnK players have consistently better aim than the average controller player in cqc.
>>2532157as far as i know the prestige skins are all available after the events just like heirlooms
>>2531147Where is my robot domme gf
>>2532414anon she's right there >>2532157 her name is Ash she's from Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends she even has a banner animation where she snaps her fingers and points to the ground like she's telling you to kneel or somethin'https://youtu.be/PAPeOJOZiGY?t=183>"a pilot stands before you, respect is due.">"no breath to steady, no heart to calm... perfection"she's so fucking peak
>>2532610>>2532414
>>2532610We need to accelerate technology until we are all enslaved by mommy robots
is this game still nothing but 3rd party slop still? I forget when I quit but I think it was around the time I was in plat but getting preds/streamers in my games and knew matchmaking was garbage. Is matchmaking better now or still the same where the go off your personal stats rather than rank.
>>2533644No, third partying is much worse now because they made it so Valk can see through walls, divebomb you with her rockets while she's flying in ult, and have her guns out before the stun wears off. The newest legend, Axle, is also extremely powerful and gives her entire team what is basically an Octane jump pad on a much lower cooldown so everyone is running her and third-partying everywhere.
Storm point with new textures and lighting looks weird>>2533644>>2533944(double checked)also makes KC, currently in rotation, borderline unplayable
>>2535336They already pulled kc from ranked it was too cancerous. That map needs to be vaulted or reworked desu its been outpaced by the game
>>2535615I think it was just a stand in for storm point
>>2536173Good i hate that map for ranked. So many areas are just unviable to fight in like the entire area south of the cage
>faggot talk drops us off the edge round start>whatever ill take the point loss>retarded caustic splits off then runs to our boxes>type pls dont rez>he does it anywayFUCK OFFWHY DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE THIS LOBBY
>>2537063Because to continue fighting in the face of adversity is a characteristic of a real man.
>Axle drops nitro gates to run away>squad just uses the same gates to catch upidk why they keep trying
>>2537063Just sharing the misery.Also, these players who farm respawns seems to be the new "loot goblin" archetype. People who are addicted to everything but getting kills and winning fights. Of course sometimes that player is the opposite archetype, being the one with the highest contribution to fights but having sluggish meatbags (rollertards) as teammates.I feel like sabotaging my k/d with the mindless respawn spam should be valid under the "Sabotage" report option, at this point.
>>2540409Ive been respawned in the same game 8 times by an octane lmao he just ran and crafted at every poi and it was round start so we'd get jumped every time
roidpex
Seee has such a cool and thematic kit. Level 4 when youre under the dome its like a lazer light show with how many qs you shit out and then ive gotten so many creative kills by becoming the moth man and moon jumping into some dumbass who thought he was in a good spot above me. And then once we are done fighting I can just 360 scan for 3rd parties real quick like im a big freaky beholder
Bane?
>win 2 games in a row>fully expect to instantly die on the 3rd>instantly die on the 3rd:)>missing a teammate in the next game:::))))
>>2540612Im always the retard with 1 missimg teammate. You see 59/60 thats me with the 1 teammate
>>2540545He's a fast guy>>2540535Definitely not a bad kit but so badly powercrept. Was playing seer too actually, yesterday. What pissed me off is his Q didnt cancel someones revive for some reason, but thought it did, so maybe it was a millisecond too late or some shit and not bugged or nerfed.
>>2540811It doesnt interrupt anymore I think it just silences
>yet another skydive trail in pink and blueIts either that or orange now
>>2540815I meant to say "hopefully" not bugged or nerfed. Well shit, i thought they might have brought that back by now but then i realised his pickrate would be way higher if so. In fact, i propose that they bring it back but make it so that it just slows down the revive speed.He's been out for nearly half a goddamn decade and i probably have less than 100 or 200 kills with him, whew.
not a bad idea for wildcard but some of the effects get old real quick and last too long, pls fix
im tired of winning, tummyGODS
I genuinely hate Watsons they have no idea how to use the fences or the ult and just want to hide from every fight they can god damn dude im getting ulted by gibby and youre sitting in a corner while I have 2 out of 3 knocked
>double digit time + double digit damageIn all fairness, we ran around the map and barely fought anyone except some rats, and then some rash uncoordinated decision to hold a chokepoint that led to our demise.>>2541098Is this in NA? All the wattsons i come across are demons or atleast fairly competent in their role even if they are noobs
>>2541128Yes its na where I have to tell my teammates when and how and where to use abilities
And another fucking game where Watson is sitting in a corner jerking off instead of participating
>>2541128Yeah, I always have wary respect for Wattsons, they seem like the most competent mains by far. Well you gotta be with her kit.
Loba needs a rework manHer kit is entirely outdated, her mobility is completely outpaced with axle and the other speed buffs other legends get, her ultimate is of middling use at best with the changes to the loot pool making everything plentiful, armories and boosters, the fact that anyone can craft banners, box rezzes, alter grabbing banners for free and being far better at resets.I have 6k kills and 500 wins on her, she was always off-meta and made masters soloQ more challenging but she is pretty much useless now, you can't even reposition with her Q before an entire axle team can slip and slide up her fat bootybole before the thing even lands.The Q needs major buffs, it should be quicker and she should be able to shoot, the ult needs to be replaced entirely, let her steal ammo/nades/heal items directly from enemies in a radius or something, make it actually impactful in a fight rather than QoL at best or a distraction at worst
>>2541469The only good thing Loba can give you is late game ult for Kraber+Infinite ammo amp. She is useless for everything else. They need to make it so you can have your gun out while your Q is flying. Would massively increaseher skill ceiling.
>>2541214>I'm fencing!>That's a grumpy fence >:(-||==========================||-||========(You)==============||-||==============*zap*========||-||==========================||-Ф___________________________Ф>A circuit's been broken. We've got company.
>>2541469Looba is a victim of the QoL improvements. OG Apex was really fucking unforgiving. Loot was rare, you had 90 secs to grab banners or go solo the whole game and movement was nothing compared to now. Now you have armories, evo caches, purple backpacks all over the place...it's too much man. They did what they had to get players back, but it's gone too far. You shouldn't be able to get blue and purple without even fighting man.
>>2541729I remember when before armor Evo was even a thing, you could go a whole match in just whites or blues because of rngLoba was an incredible and super underrated pick early on, you unironically needed a high IQ to play her well which is why she was unpopular, but if you played around her or let her IGL you could very easily snowball the lobby by gearing up quicker than anyone else and having her on flanking duty.Nowadays the majority of every lobby is entirely braindead aim assisting retards who know nothing inting with abilities and letting the computer do the rest of the work, respawn has been catering for them harder and harder and here we have the zoomzoom axle Q aim assist demon free loot for everybody free rezzes 10 times a match, no tactics needed, no tense standoffs or big picture commanding, just fucking left stick stuck on forward, right stick dead zone 0 with stick drift for that perma AA and let jesus take the wheelAll the fucking faggots at respawn had to do was split lobbies by input but they fed us the bullshit line about not wanting to split the playerbase over and over until they literally split the playerbase over a multitude of gamemodes each one with an average IQ entrypoint lower than the last
>>2541729>>2541469i always thought labooba was fine, even OP. i guess thats how fast the power creep is now. Still thought her tac was good enough but i guess not at higher levels of play where you have no room for mistakes or physical space in general.
>>2541984At one point I was "that guy" who was one of the only small handful of loba players in the high end scene, and it was only possible by having teammates who were willing to play smart and at range, but it's literally impossible to play like that anymore because of how powerful the aim assist inting meta is, you just can't, literally every major update is catering for close range oogabooga gameplay, from alter forcing them with Q's to conduit giving mathematical advantages in them to Axle removing the concept of space to Valk long range stun from the sky to pigeon shit on your head
>>2542079Axle (and her entire team) might legitimately be faster than Loba's Q. Add the fact that it's instant and teamwide... yeah, why would you pick Loba. You literally get kitted out by zone 3 anyway, and any other support can provide heals/bats from crates.Just give her the ability to see people with gold items through walls at this point.
Loba should get some kind of stacking buff the more gold items she has to incentivize moving around and looting things with her ult. Maybe something like:+25 shield with 2 gold items+lower tac cd with 3 gold items+fortified with 4+ gold itemsObviously, gold guns should act as 1 gold item.Loba used to be THE late-game scaling character (ignore package Lifeline), but now she has somehow turned into an early game character that gets more and more useless as the game progresses. She needs something to restore her identity.
A pretty simple way to balance Axle Q is to give it a 5 second charge time once it's placed before it activates, replace the 2nd tier backpack ammo perk with one that reduces the time to 2/3 seconds
>>2541729>>2541866Its crazy how scarce and limited they made everything. Also everything took time like crafting took 10 seconds to get your shit. It was very anti player at its core and really was lucky the titanfall gameplay is that fucking good
Good morning, Fellas.I'm one of the faggots that oversees our board's football/soccer/divegrass team.Since it's a new season, we're renewing our Roster, so I wanted to see if you faggots wanted to be part of it.>What's this?It's AI vs AI football played in Pro Evolution Soccer, almost every board from 4chan has a team, and /vm/ is no exception.>Okay, what to do?Since we want/need new players, I want you guys to decide if you wanna be part of this, and if so, which character/meme you want to send as a representative so it gets polled with all other suggestions. If chosen, your suggestion will be part of our 23 player team.Here's our team's wiki page and current roster:https://implyingrigged.info/wiki//vm/https://implyingrigged.info/wiki//vm/#RosterIf you guys have any question, don't be shy and ask away, I'm gonna stay around.We also have a thread if you wanna make any other general questions >>2539755Thank you all in advance and see you again.
>>2537063I hate it when that happens especially with all these respawn changes. these fags will keep on reviving you until you go mad. I had a whole match of some dudebro ranting about the gamer community or whatnot while continuing to revivng me. All the while our 3rd was on the other side of the map
>>2542079its funny how the devs learnt nothing from last year
I've had over 10 matches today and every single was with a duo Q of a diamond and a plat something, and the combined IQ of all of them together probably barely hits the triple digitsMy last duo ignored my call to take balloon over the center phase runner of Olympus, pushed uphill into a team and instantly got fried The axle managed to Q away and rez us...Then they literally did the exact same thing like a minute later max and fried instantly except this time I just went to the balloon alone and managed to rat to preserve some RP while they got insta fried together this timeLiterally lost over 600RP today due to this sadistic big brother matchmaking shit, it worked in lower ranks fine because I could hard carry them but in d2/1 I'm also going up against competent teams and premades which makes this weight too fucking hard to carry, it's unbelievable how stupid people are, it actually makes me want to hermit myself away from the world
>>2545077Anet heard my pleas I just won it all back in 3 gamesEA pressing the eomm crack needle a few cm deeper into my track mark pock marked arm
>>25452593 measly wins and I'm right back to tard wranglingEA has decided I've fulfilled my fun quota for the day, that's that
I'm all under the weather for the last day and a bit, now i know how boomers on controllers feel like playing this game. Rough.
