>>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

>long ass wait for ranked match >wraith jumpmaster hotdrops us and dies in 30 seconds Why does everyone have such a big ego in this game? This is plat sorry but you aren't that guy.

>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!
>>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.
Am I the only person who got that Axles characterisation is a gunnm reference?Specifically her motorball arc, some of her skins are directly from the manga, and the German bit is reference to the martian Panzer Kunst/some other germaboo stuff from the manga.
>>2546160maybe, does make a lot more sense of the design
Axle is literally just Better!Octane. Respawn is creatively bankrupt
Lol the eomm is so blatant now Had like 5 decent games in a row, won 2 of them, then the last one my teammates got into a new lobby way faster than me, I could tell it was placing me with shitter teammates, lo and behold got an octane and a Bangalore who landed on my head and looted half of my drop, octane as usual died first and when he shouted into the mic afterwards he actually genuinely sounded like a retard, Bangalore didn't throw a single smoke, was the furthest out and instead of running to craft he tried to 1v3That's all for me today I guess I'll try in a couple days to go from D1 to masters so my matchmaking can reset
best legends for a new player? used to play on ps4 years ago and i had seer but cant remember his gameplay was thinking maybe wraith or bangalore for pc
What's the point of having "movement advantage" on MnK if a roller can just beam you anyway? When will they finally nerf AA?
>>2548749hmm doesnt the bangalore smoke still fuck with aim assist? Honestly she's probably my least played legend but if that's what you like using it's not a bad pick.Pick something that fits your playstyleValkyrie is sort of noob bait with her tac+passive but useful.Caustic or catalyst maybe if you like zoning enemies/bunkering in the zone and close quarter engagements. Vantage got a buff, so she's pretty good if you are decent at long range and get the hang of her tac, which is much better than it used to be.I guess conduit, lifeline, wattson and maybe newcastle fall more in the survivability+support category, with Conduit having a recent buff too. And mirage of course just because being invisible while healing, reviving, etc.
>>2548749are you rolling a new account or reusing your ps4 account somehow?if you're starting fresh, you will only have Lifeline, Wraith and Bangalore to choose from
What do we think about the new game mode bros? Honestly the mini characters makes me dizzy and the infininite grenades it's silly but fun

>octane player>being an atrophied moron monkeybrainIt's a 99.9% chance of being true, every time I see one in my squad I know the game is gonna be a wash in the first 5 minutes max, psychologists should study this
>>2549216> Honestly the mini characters makes me dizzyI played a couple games yesterday and didnt get thatjust the grenade spam shit over and over for some reason>>2549383Did he use his tac on them 3 seconds before divebombing, got 50 damage and decided to push?
>>2551407>Did he use his tac on them 3 seconds before divebombing, got 50 damage and decided to push?He did tac, hit one of them then got deleted by the other two before he could get another shot off
I got into a new lobby and got reset from D1 to rookie, earned a shot load of RP by running the lobby down and then when I got back to the main menu, all the RP counted towards my actual real rank and pushed me to masters lmaoNow I can't load into the game at all, bravo respawn, 7 year old mature billion dollar game btw

>>2555822this is one of the reasons I barely playI was 80 or so points away from ranking up then suddenly get fed five lose matches in a row. Then the split ended before I could revocer. I feel like I'm fighting an algorithm than playing the game.
Does this game still shit all over MNK players? I really don't want to use a controller or fight against aimbot tier packs and shit.
Average Wraith player looks like this
Havent played in a long time and the quick play matches feels sweaty afDid they change something ?
So very tired of roller monkeybrains abandoning god spot or the perfect rotations just to chase a close range fight into a 5 squad sandwich shitstorm
>>2555822>>2556021I am now 1000rp from mastersI've been playing all day, every single game with no exception has been matching me with a diamond+plat duo Q against masters and pressI'm just gonna take a break until it's soloQ only, this is psychological torture
>>2556038umm... wouldnt that be catalyst?
>>2557070i think everyone jsut got betterthe game became more competetive and the changes of abilities and new legends reflect that
Thank you game! I really appreciate the gold 4 player named dinonugz while im in plat 1!!!
Thank you for my next teammate bigbrixc who late dropped us onto cascade and then ran away!
i am the octane that goes 1v3 and drops hot every game
>low iq high ego German gamer>Plays axle>Doesn't communicate at all, not even with pings>Just forces the team to either be a player down or follow him as he mindlessly wanders in the open long before anyone else finishes looting the drop>Forces a fight by pushing from the open against high ground despite others pinging and talking on mic to move to more favourable ground>Eats shit and dies without even getting a single crack>Remaining team is now surrounded by 3 squads and has zero chance to survive>Said German retard gets on mic for the first time to shit talk you as you die after him to his retardationWhy is this such a common occurrence?
>duoQ faggots clearly sucking each other off in private chat, the top rushes into a losing fight whilst the bottom tags along>I type "happy pride to you and your boyfriend">Suddenly voice chat explodes for the first time in the match, the top is loudly stuttering out excuses while the bottom genuinely sounds incredibly hurtLmao, new shit talking tech acquired
For me it's Mexican duos giggling to each other in Spanish while their kids scream in the background, getting into the dumbest positions imagineable surrounded by 7 teams, dying, and then screaming in broken English at me for getting out and crafting them instead of allowing the wipe
The game loves to give me the retarded fags who drop last
>gold teammate in plat 1(again)>get dropped last (again)>teammates get immediately swamped (again)>one runs away to craft with no damage (again)
How is it statistically or algorithmically possible to play 4 plat 1 matches and get 4 gold 4s on your team
>>2565419Whenever you get to X1 ranks the matchmaking gates you by matching you with the bottom of the barrel in your bracket. Silver-Plat-D4 is basically the same thing so you're going to be given two tards to carry in that bracket to rank up.It's not a huge problem in that bracket because the majority of the people you go against are also gonna be tards (other than early split where all the diamond/masters/preds/cheaters are rolling the lobbies).It becomes a real problem at D1 when you go against masters and preds with duos of the worst of the worst in the diamond bracket, more often than not duo Qs of one hard stuck D4 and his platinum butt buddy. And these hardstuck D4s always have extra inflated egos because they don't realise they are in the trash bracket, and their plat noob friend spends their games sucking their assholes and inflating the egos further, so you get the same dynamic over and over, d4 hardstuck tard refuses to do anything but IGL and when he does he makes the worst decisions possible at all times, they'll get you all killed early in the game and then they'll both act like you were the issue even though you are clearly the designated carrier of the team and they are hard stuck for a reason, but said ego fellation will never allow them to see it.Every now and then EOMM will throw you a team of actual like minded similar skilled soloQers so you can gain some RP and continue the gambling addiction adjacent behaviour
> wildcard KC> Playing with gf> Just trying to "relax" if that's a thing on apex> Shooting another team on a teal tower from one> Random path pushes, dies> "Cmon guys I'm the kill leader I thought we were gonna push"> He zip lined in a straight line across and died before reaching the tower> Type "relax"> Guy spergs out, going in on gf cause she doesn't really play like imperial hal and doesn't have the most damage> Goes in on me cause I'll land and type back and go fight dropping one or two and die> Guy starts yapping so much he doesn't realize that I'm catching up> "Oh watch he's gonna die -- oh good job you finally got some one!" > Doesn't realize I have 1k more DMG and 3 more kills at this point > Game ends with him as last death "hey we wouldn't have lost if you didn't die so much"> Invited to his lobby> I had more kills and more damage, get good. Ur bad. It doesn't happen often but getting insufferable loner teammates feels so damn good sometimes. He got 6 kills off the rip with my help and still ended up with 6 at the end of the game
>>2566030>continue the gambling addiction adjacent behaviourI throw rounds like I fold shit hands in poker ive learned its better to just take the loss and reroll the lobby than try and eat a dick for it
>>2566632Doesn't work when pushing for masters because once you get to D1, 9 games out of 10 you are given bottom bracket elo teams and go against 3 stack masters and preds, you mathematically cannot climb without working your dick off to preserve RP as a soloQ
>>2563206Fun fact: i used to think wattson was german for some reason like 5 or 6 years ago :o>>2560566It's nice that you are appreciative enough of your teammates to so highly commend of their valiant deeds in he- ... wait a minute>>2565161Although i very rarely get actual spanish players in EU, the real mexican equivalent in EU is probably arabs/the french. In terms of open mic usage aswell.
>>2566393I've crashed out once in wildcard before, i think last season or something (not fully sperging out in chat, just playing bad and this duo were just annoying to play with so or smth so i started trolling)I think sometimes it feels like you set yourself higher expectations to win fights and get damage in wildcard, and not just for badges.I guess its sort of better practice than going in mixtape, but any BR mode no matter how low stakes can just feel like pure ragebait when you feel like a blind deaf slug, your teammates are stuck up eachothers ass 24/7 and the entire lobby is boiling you alive.
>hotdrop 3v3 at Clinic>comes down to a 1v1 between both wraiths>theirs is a bald wraith peacekeeper demon>ours default skin rollertard who isn't as good as he thinks he is>instantly realise how fucked we are>he dies near instantlyreally sums things up i feel
It's really nice that they buffed Vantage again so we can go back to getting downed out of nowhere, all at once by some handholding premade during round 1 and then my retarded open mic italian teammates (this sounds oddly specific doesn't it?) get confused and hide behind me until 10 seconds later deciding to revive me just as the enemy squad inevitably push us so they instantly stop reviving me shit the bed and die and then the revenant somehow survives on 1hp, goes through the phase runner then immediately dies on the other side
>>2566030This is actually so fucking true its painful. Before i ranked up it was really smooth sailing today, half the time im just breaking even, getting more points from placement, or i'm assistcucking for a duo and just zone out (this is also just because of me but its the nature of ranked atm too) totally and utterly demoralised rn>fuse shitter + caustic chud>fuse shitter, russian + wattson on pacifist mode>the usual kinds of other duotard combinations you expect to find >picrel, silent duo that made some retarded play and then when i ran and jumptowered across the map outside the ring to respawn then left right before because XD everyone who plays this game now are children, manchildren and brown people totally and utterly demoralised
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14fwK9DWUw4this video being recommended feels like the equivalent of the game throwing a bot lobby for me after getting fucked by EOMM for 10 matches straightunfortunately my sanity might not last long enough to ever reach and soloq in diamond
>axle on the team in a duo>we are slowly walking around the map so they can loot>type nitro gates?>silenceDuoniggers are unreal
axle sure does talk about gas alot...
>>2569460Deviantart about to explode with fetish drawings
What did they do to the trees on stormpoint in the update?They strobe out like some sort of epileptic gif>t. nvidia card user
>>2569888Dunno but they fucked mirages q up so I hear every BAMBOOZLE and it gives me a migraine/heart attacks
>Interested in playing today when I get off work because of the solo ranked change finally being made after years of it being needed>Recuck chickened out and delayed it indefinitelyAwesome. I guess the diamond shitter premades who ONLY want to play ranked and ONLY want it to act as their shit tier vc instead of something that denotes their actual skill whined hard enough.Fucking Christ.I was looking forward to seeing how it felt to play and watching carried preds either get stomped or mysteriously disappear for two weeks. I knew they'd bitch out and never make it permanent since they're retarded but I at least hoped we'd get the test.
>>2570586Yeah I actually waited a few days to finish my climb from D1 to masters but I'm not even going to bother, unironically uninstalling the game, if I play one more match with a hardstuck diamond and his shitter console butt buddy I will actually lose my mind, the juice isn't worth the squeeze
So they accidentally dropped the soloQ for the majority of people, yet somehow there are still pred 3 stacks rolling the lobbies, how curious!
They fixed it fast but all the people I saw who played it said it was way more fun and the salt was pouring off the diamond shitters like crazy. Still is.lol
>>2569888>storm point still fucked on nvidia AND intelwhat the fuck lol, they literally kept it out of rotation for MONTHS because of this issue
>>2569931I knew this game was bad for your health but jeez...
>playing Valk>need to rotate>ping ult 10 times in a row>regroup here>regroup here>regroup here>teammates are running ahead into an open field>ult up and away to safety>see teammates turn around towards me as they scream curse words into their mics in spanishThis happens too many times each day
>>2572623love it when people know how to ping their ultfucking wild how few people seem to know anything besides the basic ping
>>2568303>pick new character>loot all match like it's 2021 (also doesn't know about new ways to get stuff so spends way more time trying to find hopups and shit)>don't use abilities just goon and RP with your duosisterThat is a telltale sign of a long time returning player
>>2572623 sometimes i'm about to pick Valk and then i have flashbacks to matches like this and i just go "yeh err conduit or something"I think a lot of people actually do this too, like you pick a character they don't like and then they pick some seasonal meta character at the last second.
>>2572875nta but is it a mediocre controller player thing? Like they have less hotkeys to work with and cant move when they're in a menu so they are more likely to just not use these extra functions in the middle of a match (Which is *sort* of why pro IGLs have historically been mnk)
>after being a good little retard the entire round wattson decided with 2 squads left hes going to split off and chase the team solo during ring transition>your squad came in 2nd!
I am so good with frags I can fuck you across a poi with them lol I just made a fuse eat his own shit
>>2573780> I can fuck you across a poi...>...I just made a fuse eat his own shit>''jokes on you, im into that shit''
I just uninstalled, this game was not respecting my intelligence, time or mental health, the matchmaking algorithm is purposefully psychologically harmful, and this is reflected in the playerbase which is overwhelmingly either deranged, retarded or both, and all of these categories are very salty. The live service aspect of this game isn't geared for fun even in the slightest, it's predatory and exploits gambling addict behaviour to rinse the playerbase from as much money as possible.
>only played during s9>just under 200hrs played on steam>try every mode>everyone is just beaming me while strafing>felt like an absolute dogshit botI dont know if everyone just got infinitely better, low rank full of smurfs, or bad mm. I only reinstalled because of some vids I come across on yt the other day on ALGS. My old ass should just prob stick to classic WoW
>>2576329Controller aim assist game nowThe game peaked around season 9 actually then it was all downhill as crossplay and controllers took all competitive integrity out of the game
>>2573620I can imagine pinging ult from inventory is ass on controller, but for the "ping menu" stuff it's probably more of a "lol skipped tutorial" thing.Like pressing and holding a button isn't that difficult, even on console.It's pretty noticeable when I do the "I'm going over here" ping when splitting during skydive and others react with the generic "Let's go over here".¯\_(ツ)_/¯Also, FUCK people who decide to land on the same bin after I did the "I'm going over here" ping AAAAAA
>>2575694so instead of sweating to masters solo Q, nowadays I do this:>only play ranked>treat ranked as pubs>mute everyone>have 10 accounts>play until plat, cycle to next accountit's fun :D
>>2576329>queue for br>drop asap>bumrush a full team soloalso I hate this retarded playstyle. If you want to just shoot people why not play the team deathmatch or whatever the fuck it is called
How do you play with a Vantage on your team? With everyone else you usually get to run in close together but a Vantage just jerks off out back sniping. Wait for her to nuke before hopping in fighting range?
>>2580445idk I usually have aggressive Vantages who engage after ult double-tapping someone or when they run out of ult bulletsyour sniper complaint is generally worse on any legend without mobility abilitiesalways fun to see your teammate snipe all game and then end up with fuck all damage because they hit once every 5 shots
>>2575694Theyve massively toned down on the psycho warfare elements desu
Why isnt the wildcard intro the default intro where u see the squad after picks
Smol ash is so funny
>>2576670They are even more likely to do it for some reason when its not even near many other bins. Its like dealing with younger siblings/relatives when you were a kid. They just want what you have no matter what it is.
>>2576670You have to shift grips and do a button stick combo to ping certain things with a controller. I have my buttons set up for easiest access and ping on B but its still a claw grip for certain pings
>>2553133they meant that she wants to steal my cum
Ranked solo queue test starts next split, right? I'm tired of running into triple stacks
>>2582244Legit they should change it to that because it pisses me off when people switch legends when I already picked mine for the fit
>>2582306Best legend to smolpex as? Valk?
>>2575694understandable, have a good day sir
how do i get a heirloom without paying ea jews money?
>>2586525well, time is money, but you know, keep opening those packs! (hasnt worked for me still waiting on my 2nd heirloom shards, but im sure i will have some by the end of the decade)
>>2586659I made like 20 alt accounts trying to get a heirloom and now steam has probably shadow banned my ip, how long did it take you to get your first one? I'm lvl 80 on main
>>2586690like 2 yrs i cant rememberits 500 packs iirc
>Mfw i dont get a third member for the ranked match
>>2588955it's annoying you have to wait till dropship before you can disconnect without penalty/point losscould be worse, I guess
I have 19 heirlooms
>>2591243*21Forgot my gundams
>>2591243>>2591256i refuse to believe thats possible without spending hundreds of $ or having a S0 account that has grinded every season
>first ranked match of the day>win as newcastle and bangalore duowholesome1000
>>2576728I kinda wish I still had my day one account with S2 predator trail spray/badge. But I sold it at the height of Apex for $850
>>2591774Was it 'f2p' account ? guess it doesnt matter too much if you got that much out of it
>>2591828Do you mean did I spend money on it? Or what do you mean?
>Launching from ship>Teammates fail the IQ check and land on an arsenalI love all the little things that tell me I'm about to have a bad game
>>2593090For me it's when I see my teammate walk right by an EVO harvester and not collect the EVO. It's one thing to not go out of your way to get it, but they're RIGHT THERE NEXT TO IT and they just walk past it
Anyone else still having graphic issues on stormpoint? Nvidia gpu btw
>>2593126My favorite and honestly most common at this point is>JM decides to land on 1-2 other teams>At least one teammate lands on the arsenal>Either gets downed by some other retard who landed on the arsenal with him or by anyone who isn't retarded and landed nearby insteadI decided to try to race to diamond so I could try that solo only thing they (might) be doing but it looks like the playerbase ACTUALLY got fucking insanely more retarded since last I played, which is an achievement. It's all entirely just roller brained dipshits now. I'm not sure I want to try anymore.
>>2591396When you are the /bet/lord anything is possible
>>2593971Based ball knower
>>2591396I have a S0 account with only 1 heirloomI also have a month old alt with a heirloomit's random as fuck
>>2593126it's even better if they are already purple but someone on the squad is still blueself-absored
>>2591848Well did you ever paypig on anything or was it just f2p acc from the start? because that usually would enhance the value of the account a bit more than if you just happened to have some free stuff from early apex
>>2593971Whats the whole caveat to everyone betting this much on the clear favourites then, i dont get it
nigga instantly died going down the zipline at command centerwas funny desu
>talking shit to eachother >i go "let me guess, 60 damage?">he stops talking
every match on storm point is a fucking semen slurping borefest or impending disaster no matter what i doweird because i havent had a single (obvious atleast) duo
>>2594951Its all a magic trick designed to lose people money. Basically all the leagues and vegas are coordinating The Prestige on a weekly basis
>>2591243>>2593971give me a heirloom
*coughs* *wheezes* *groans* *creaks*
>>2596288Stormpoint needs another refresh with half of the pois being redone. How long has that kaiju corpse been sitting there?
havent 'pexed in probably a year now
>>2603297It released in Season 11, was updated in Season 13, so like almost if not 4 fucking years ago then it was updated again in Season 17 (wow i had no clue it was that long ago already) but that was just to update the rest of the map
>>2591774I wonder how much a S1 account (no ranked badges) with unspent heirloom shards, about 20k apex coins and inifinte crafting mats will fetch
Why don't they still audio indicators from Fortnie? This will kill all audio complaints that I still hear since release.
>when you miss a couple weeks of the season and wonder how the fuck we got nearly halfway through already
>>2610617How does this work? Got to strike a fine balance between useless and seer level wall hacks in a FPS game like Apex
there should be a axle femdom quip where she calls you an untermensch or whatever
The game's graphics are pretty good for a 2019 game.
>>2620496yeah, and it doesn't really have to be better than thishaving shit like 'realistic lighting' would only detract from visual clarity
>>2620496There was a recent texture and lighting update for Storm point, and i think maybe worlds edge? Not sure
i hate this shit cortisol spiking game where i get shit cortisol spiking teammates and i know they are going to fuck everything up against the last squad even though they are 80 IQ apes too>5 respawns
They're getting... better?
>match with no third again>hotdrop on another duo>me and axle clean them up despite initally getting no weapon nor good weapons and panicking with wattson fence>he pings loot>he communicates>then i fuck up a 2v2/3 because i thought i didnt realise i still only had a single mozam and choked the 1v1that sucks but still more fun than playing with an autistic IGL Fuse + wandering caustic for nearly a whole game
>>2617001Based. We need one for Alter as well, Ash has a few already
>>2624095>throws dozens of Knuckle Clusters at squads 600m away>ults in the middle of nowhere>gets knocked>0/1/2
We have reached advanced levels of "carry this retarded duo" matchmaking
>>2624797 (me)the literally part was meant to specify that it was out in the open, not a single rock or prop near him. That cloak is ridiculously OP when used in these situations (because apparently noone uses scans or pays any attention)
>>2624534and Alter gets interactive quip for the gay characters/catalyst calling them baizuo
>>2624095>randomly rocket jumping in the middle of nowhere so everyone can hear where we are:(
>>2624628>getting knocks>>2626965>Knowing how to rocket jump, living long enough to get the perk to begin with, or not picking the "more damage" perk instead
>>2620496Tbh I prefer games from the 2000s with lesser graphics they're easier on the eyes. Shits too spectacular now youre not meant to process all that bullshit on a constant basis
>>2626965They need to give rocket jump knuckies different voice lines. Whenever my Fusemate jumps somewhere initially, I think he's fighting a team
>redeeming battle pass stars with event pointsDo I really have to click it 9 more times?
Should i give this game a download? Is it worth it?
>>2615165It's actually WAY more fair than sound. It shows footsteps that you can actually hear but not all people have a good sound, also audio bugs that still exists for like 5 years. Seer's range is way bigger than sounds.Also with those indicators you can play without audio at all.So nothing but profit, we really should force respawn to do it.
>>2631051It's free, might as well try it for yourself.Note that you will be completely overwhelmed at the start due to the amount of random ass items/characters/abilities.The Welcome Pass challenges do an ok job of easing you in, but you might want to start with Bot Royale or the Firing Range so you can just take your time looking at items etc.
>>2631051Play mixtape first
>>2631051First time? prepare yourself for disappointment, anger once the matchmaking stops recognising you as a noob and starts making you carry other noobs.
>nemesis now has turbochargerwhat in the fuck are they doing?
>>2634120New meta. It's about time, frankly. Nem and Flatty will take over after the Hemlock dominated due to its redesign. Give it another season and the 301 and Havoc will be buffed to ridiculous heights to catch up. This is the Apex way.
hope they'll bring back Anvil Receiver sometime
>>2636362semi auto GODS left this game a long time ago its just snipertards and SMG cucks now
>>2632023More visual noise isn't exactly very welcome in this game
Is the second split already up?
https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/apex-legends/news/overclocked-midseason-patch-notes>80gb patchalways feels a bit weird when all they seem to do is tweak a few values
>>2637544It's only 9 gb
>>263790380gb download on EA app just now.Was playing earlier today so I was on the latest version too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>2637544Its the maps being shuffled
I haven't played in many many seasons (stopped when the chubby sniper released) and apparently a ton of things have changed. Are those all explained in game or will I have to watch youtube videos to get caught up?
>>2640011>stopped when the chubby sniper releasedMan, that was season 14. A LOT has changed since then.While you can probably read up on a lot of these in-game (Firing Range), you're probably gonna have to randomly stumble into a lot of the smaller changes.>Legend classes: characters are now divided into 5 distinct classes (Assault, Skirmisher, Recon, Support, Controller), each receiving powerful passive abilities.>Legend upgrade system: when leveling EVO up to blue/purple you get to choose between two perks to upgrade your Legend's abilities.>Revenant and Lifeline got completely reworked (different abilities).>Lots of other random changes to existing Legends, like Mirage and Crypto can now turn invisible, etc.>Bunch of new characters and maps.>Self-Resurrection removed>Helmets removed>Body Armor replaced with Shield Core. EVO is now tied to your character, not your armor. Can still shield swap by grabbing a different core, but it doesn't change your EVO. Swapping to a higher tier Shield Core than your current level will grant the difference as a temporary shield.>Heat shields removed>Evac Tower added, a Survival Slot item which spawns a temporary Evac Tower (can be shot/destroyed).>HopUps removed from ground loot. Are now built into guns, with an EVO like system to unlock.>Akimbo dual wielding: can now dual wield Mozambiques or P2020s.>Laser sight added. Goes in 'barrel' slot for pistols/SMGs, reduces hip fire spread.
>>2640643>Replicator overhaul: no longer have to collect crafting materials. Can now just craft one item for free at any Replicator. Can craft teammate banners.>Arsenals added, POIs now have racks with all weapons of an ammo type. Can do a free weapon upgrade at each arsenal once (if you have a weapon of that type). Resets after Round 2 closes. After Round 2 closes the upgrade can go up to gold tier attachments.>Mantling HUD helper thing, shows you when to press jump after mantling, to mantle boost>Visible Health Bars when damaging players>Deathbox respawns: can now revive squadmates directly from their Deathbox. They will respawn on top of the box with the box' content, but low health.>Chained Healing: can now queue/chain healing items.>Power Amps added: can now pick up Power-up like items that give you a bonus like better healing, infinite Ammo, infinite Shield Batteries etc.Probably missing a ton of shit here.
>>2640643>>2640648That's that's a ton of changes, guess I'll have to suffer a little bit.Don't the health bar fuck over Mirage? He was one of my most played characters with Fuse.
>>2640837>Don't the health bar fuck over Mirage?Kinda, but it (supposedly) goes away if you break line of sight.>He was one of my most played charactersYou're in for a treat then. He becomes invisible while healing now.The dumb shit you can get away with now is hilarious.

Nooo stop buffing seer dont make him meta hes already great
>>2640011I mean it is a lot but you can work it all out as you go desu
Oh god i can't even remember if i bought the last split battlepass or finished itWhat was on it again?
yet again another bullshit split with worlds edge and a return of the daily map rotationfuck worlds edge
Vantage and seer being meta is so cursed
>>2642963Oh god don't tell me SP is gone now for a couple months... 2 steps forwards 1 step back with this game
Pretty kino axle banner pose
Wow they really need to add a favorites system for banners, theres so much slop to filter through
>>2643055it's still in the 3 map rotation, just not for a couple days since we have to put up with worlds edge and e-district again.
>Walk into room>Literally a whole premade just sitting in there crouched waiting for someone to come in>Moment they got into a real fight they folded like wet cardboardSolo only needs to be enforced in every rank. How do you even play like this
>>2643090ehhh, oh well then. i guess i will manage.>>2643099Better than a full squad hiding in a crate, which i have seen a clip of but cant seem to find on ytube now because of how saturated it is with clickbait slop
I love it when the ranked queue is half dead and decides to bug out because of how fucked up the soloq is
Apparently respawn is compelled to constantly make seer completely broken every few seasons.If you fight a seer team he immediately ults then you get scan spammed to death because you can't move
>>2647549>because you can't moveyou can crouch walk around in Seer's ult without being detected thoit's fun to sneak up on people who don't know this
>>2647955His ult itself is easy to deal with it's the perk that decreases the cool down on his tactical while he's in the ult that's the problem.
>>2647549It's part of a 5 year deal with Blackrock expiring in September
passive aggressive shitter duos that dont communicate and dont even play together are genuine cancer
I still don't get why they broke solo Q: this past season, i have went from 10-15% matched with duo to like 50-60%. I'm not the only one even on reddit they been complaining about it.I would rather losing 50 game with randoms than win 10 games with duos. Those guys are insufferable they never seem to remember that there is a RING and HEAT DAMAGE. They always think they can just "1v2" last guys, use an evac in R3, go through a choke and not die. I went from 20 game a day to 1 game this season. Fucking rigged shit
>>2649675Just use your mic and force them out of their discord call bro
>>2650919I dont get how this matchmaking works anyway. D3 and below have 0 awareness 99% of the time its like they never loaded the game. They see 3 ppl above, they just rush in. Even fucking hal or a cheater won't push.The fact that made the TTK and gameplay faster made it even harder to play: you used to be able to 1v2/1v3. Now 1v2 is clearly impossible unless they literal bot with this ttk
>>2649328I wonder if the Saudis will change things up when they take over
>They want the solo queue test?>Delay it for the cancer Seer meta. Now.Bravo Respawn. You'll definitely get lower player numbers you can use to justify never ever EVER allowing it again with this.
>>2653638doesnt really matter atp
>>2643084>>2643069BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP
>>2649675I am curious to know the real numbers of how many people soloq and how many are in premades of 2s and 3s
>>2655537I'd be surprised with anything more than 40% with this horrible fucking matchmaking
>>2655537They definitiively did something this season like i said, i been playing since 2023, and this the start of this one my "duo" rate went up from 10% to like 50%. Doesn't help that they completely removed DuoQ
>2 squads left>wraith dcs on the corner of cover>punch him into cover>try to punch him further into cover>flies the opposite way for some fucking reason>outside of cover>dies instantly:Is'ok winning is for losers anyway
can someone post the image where revenant is fisting loba's ass while saying "i need light ammo"?thank you
>>2655959>Doesn't help that they completely removed DuoQYou mean like no fill? Idk why you would want that in trios or atleast ranked trios. That being said they should be putting MORE focus on duos seeing as a sizeable chunk of the playerbase are playing with a friend or cant always consistently grind with a third
Here's what i got from my two event packs that i forgot to openWas practically the same with one or two of the previous events. Definitely not an accident.fuuuuuuck you jewspawn, jesus christ
>teammate AFK in one of the worst non-hotdrop POIs on Worlds edge to be AFK in (The bunch of buildings between fragment and the eastern edge of the map)>he wakes up literally right after the entire lobby rotated towards and around usand the craziest part is that this exact same thing happened in the previous match on Stormpoint.When shit like this happens especially the way it does on WE i know its time to cut my losses and dodge this awful outdated maple sigh...
>P1>third party a squad who just finished a fight>knock one instantly with sentinel headshot>proceed to get absolutely anally annihilated by the remaining two>wraith with pred 2, 20 and 50 badges>axel with 2 pred 100 badges and 200 badgeah yes, my fellow "platinum" players
>squad plays super aggressive>they suddenly stop playing super aggressive without telling youhaha I hate this :D
>>2659283Call me a shitter but im not grinding plat solo when theres worlds edge in rotation, which feels like half the time i play this gameI will be in mixtape, wildcard, anywhere else, or THE FINALS TM
Seers kit was fine before the update idk why the feel the need to make his gay ass so busted
>launch game after 2 day without playing>its a duo>"movement something">the axle is running is sliding and running in straight line while 2 low mobility character are chasing him
Solo update went live and it's just pairing preds with other preds and masters players, so the diamonds are good enough to DIE to pred players but NOT good enough to PLAY with them according to their algo lmao>>2664309Because they exclusively look at pick rates and not the reasons for them, so they saw he was low and ignored the fact it was because there were characters even more busted and buffed him to an even more broken level than the others
>No servers found>No servers found>No servers found>No servers foundHoly shit respawn can't even get a major update right
>>2664309They ran out of ideas so they pulled out the oldest trick in the book again
Any major changes with the new patch other than legend/weapon buffs?
>jumpscared with this, on July 1st?????
>having to carry retarded octane child/queer in the middle of the nighttheres no dodging these people
>play on and off most seasons>get to plat after taking a 2 week break>lobbies are more fun>still end every other match with only +4 to +20 pointsWorlds edge is just hard man
I'm tired of pretending that running away prematurely is such an awful thing to do when one teammate starts a fight early while 200 metres away from me in the worst possible positioning, and then the other teammate eventually joins in with them 30 seconds later when the whole enemy squad is already dialed in on their position, then they both die and pretend we could have won that fight if i had also got there another 30 seconds later You see, these retards who think they are so ascended above everyone else because they know how to flank and beam a single enemy with their favourite gun, they are happy to start fights, but always whine to their teammates to end it when they get knocked and leave you in essentially a very disadvantaged 2v2 or 2v3. Look at your goddamn map, im not superman.
>2028... puben blisk.... returns... in Apex Legends 2
heh we good... everyones just watching the world cup... o algo
>carnival skin Loba teammate just caught me crouching behind her while they opened a care package
reminder that the cyberpunk collab is in 2 weeks, and loba's most likely getting a panam skin
I'm liking solo queue but why does it have to happen during Seer meta
>>2677172Please let this be true. Both my wives in one package
>diamond and higher can't 3 stack in ranked >wildcard suddenly full of 3 stacks running Seernoticing
>"Enhanced my weapon to enhance my survival... hey ma, i learned!"
>>2677172still never played that game and dont give a shit about whatever cartoon slop either
>BLYAT BLYAT JUST RUN TO CRAFTER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROUND 4 CIRCLE, BACK IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SEER TEAM YOU JUST RAN AWAY FROM WHO ALSO HAVE THE HIGH GROUND FACKING SUKA BLYAT>*proceeds to type the most broken english shittalk in text chat*yeh and just because you get away with murder playing like a headless chicken doesnt mean i have to do the same, duotards
There really are a load of smurfs in plat just because they can't handhold in diamond lmao
It is wild that almost every single teammate is the 300 damage in 12 rounds CS2 player>>2678208Never had one on my team. Vantage every game though.>>2681057They really are too lazy to ever learn a map, they could play dust2 for 2000 hours and not get any better. Why their Salt has such exquisite granularity of incompetence dunning krugered. Hmmr is that good. Respawn knows these losers cant even loot the pois they waste time apparently reading descriptions. The deeper problen is that they will never ping relevent information in 3d space.They can never calculate the 3d scan space of tact and ults, so they just don't use them. Theu cannot interact with all the keybinds, and like every niggers that calls blacks that try hard, white. So too does the zoomer gamer prefer horseblinders and voicebox stroking. Hey Retards, what's the latency on your vocal chords? Pacifist run retards need to be burdened with rocket launchers for hands as obvious punishment they would probabpy enjoy, instead of their rat-in-denial, ratting, midwit, roller hands. They NEVER want to fight the hardest team... they always want to dick around with someone they've sized as equally rollertarded im something like a building.When these players get faced by real players, they give up, are griefing in their resignation, that this is not the bot lobby that they think they deserve most of the time so how often is that for these 0 hmmr boat anchors? >>2672397Looking at the map is well beyond 90% of players. Hard IQ filter on translating 2d to 3d. Here you go respawn, why dont we have musocal chairs mario kart yet you absolute freaks. Your managers should go live in ditches in rural Japan.Shitters need 3D heat maps for danger. Shitter Roller Tards need to press the pokemon snap button to make perfect speed pc movement ovwr to my ass for absolutely free. You are all going to hell. Your doppleganger locusts are reafy to feast on you and they deserve to be fed.
>>2681501>>2678208>Never had one on my team. Vantage every game though.damn, same.
>>2681057russians continue to be the worst teammates in apex
Why the fuck did they nerf Valk???And why the fuck did they nerf her by adding lag??? That's the fucking worst kind of nerf in any game.
>that many plat in pred lobbyI fucking love this game
>>2681947Nah i think it was a ukrainian.
>>2685707feeder match for content creatorrespawn gives bot lobbies to streamers
>KC supply ships now move so fast you can't land on them without glitching out>round 2 ship still spawns outside the ring 7/10 timesjust delet them from the game, holy shit
If worlds edge is the ranked map simply don't land in fragment for free rp works every time
I dont play anything but wild card and maybe gun run if im in the mood.
>queue took so long i went afk and came back to a death screenAIIIIEEEEEEE 50 points down the drain
>Arab fuse/mirage duo going ballistic™ the entire match in their goatfucker tongueit was actually pretty funny, and they did also speak english but played like goddamn retards without the skill to back it up (albeit vs a sweaty gibraltar premade)>>2688859Same its like the opposite of most other seasons where i grind ranked at the last minute. I mean i still play ranked but i understand i probably wont end up winning enough to get out of plat so i might aswell go whereever the wind blows
>immediately lost my mind seeing thisSERIOUSLY HOW???? IN FUCKING **WILDCARD** BTWI'm not mad, just disappointed, very disappointed. wtf4 minutes sounds short but it was pretty much consistent fighting.
Which legend do you is the best to use for SOLOQ?
>>2689609I use nighttime nessie waddsum or quarantine 722 wraith and always hope my teammate is a quarantine 722 wraith they are so cute, but it never happens.
rate my packs
>>2689609Bangalore is a pretty good flex pick she can do a bit of everything although maybe not a good choice in the current Seer meta
>>2689572could be worse
>>2689965Damn don't you want to get some epic rarity gibratlar skins and catalyst voice lines?>>2690234>3 de facto support characters (but not even gibby or conduit)You know its gonna be a bad match when this happens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_6GRFK13vcyeghthey dropped the ball on Rebecca
>>2678776my beloved
>>2694865yes.... Yes!
>>2695461Literally only like the Loba one. The jeet is especially fucking bad looking
>>2695461>>2696592I think the Rampart skin looks cool. Ash isn't bad either
man-made horrors beyond human comprehension
>>2681026Same I wish there was a way to mute certain legends voice lines
>>2696736You call that ugly but not the rampart skin?
>>2696774Rebecca us ugly to begin with. The problem is Ramparts retarded voice and lines and the fact that she's a defensive character.
>Rebecca's a jeet>FemV isn't Wraith or somethinglmao
>>2696828logically she can only be rampartbecause of the girl + huge gun meme she has
When does apex 2 come out
>falcons nearly lost this 3v2
since when was /vm/ a board?i thought /axg/ was dead forever holy fucking shit
>>2698620we have no chance against gacha sluts on vg, had to move here
>>2698620August 21, 2020
>>2697529What are the chances it isn't unreal slop.>>2698697Since season 6? Really?
>>2689609Alter axle valk bang conduit gibby maggie path castle seer sparrow watto wraith seer caustic are worth learning.Use Loba until you are satisfied with looting.Learning all the guns and utility is what is most useful. Firing range is really the only way to do that anymore. You cannot be afraid to use any one gun.
apparently theres a tournament going, you didnt tell me
>>2694917>>2694865called it, there was literally no way that wasn't gonna happen.>>2695461but they completely missed the mark with gibby, why did they give him the psycho rapist skin when jackie was right there? also mirage as male v would've made more sense
>>2699571Mirage is too goofy.
what mouse is the MNK players in the apex tournament using? asking for a friend.
>>2701674https://prosettings.net/players/donk/
>>2698736Well, that was when the /vm/ board was added.Apex general threads didn't move there right away.According to the archive:>First /axg/ thread on /vg/ was on the 26th of August 2019.>Last /axg/ thread on /vg/ was on the 20th of November 2024.>First /axg/ thread on /vm/ was on the 3th of November 2024.
>>2701674They're allowed to bring their own mouse, keyboard, pad, controller and headset
Is nighttime E-District ever coming back or did they just replace it altogether with daytime?
>>2704956Would make sense for them to bring it back for the cyberpunk event seeing as it was set in "Night City" but that might be asking too much of respawn
>>2702260This is counter-strike it's not the same, that's like bringing a kawasaki ninja to a dirt bike rally.>>2702691but which ones are popular amongst the apex pro players
>>2705542>>2704956it is coming back with a night city twist
thinken of booting up apex for the first time in many months
Mirage needs to have his clones not make noise, while Mirage is himself invisible. Simple. There is no counter play to the audio stack being borked during 15 track jams. Pathfinder should have had moonboots free passive since the introduction of Horizon. Pathfinder weight was just messed with, he weighs 100 tons now to prevent going fast or high its the worst stealth nerf ever. Right before I was hitting some of the longest and high speed zips ever and now I don't want to move. Please fix. Make a 'favorite' and dislike players in any mode to look for them in matchmaking. If you cannot add this modifier to the eomm algorithm or increase quality by increasing wait time, and you also cannot get the tick rate and servers syncronized why should anyone care. Full Roller Baby lowest common denominator spirit of adoption. I don't think a single one of the devs sonce the OGs could ever beat Diddy Kong Racing or do thousands of damage in CS2.>How good is your cheat toy?--t. edomite mindset. >Sitting at a Desk is for geeks and freaks. --Zoomers>Just let them play Pokemon Snap (Apex the power fantasy movie for dummies made greater than fully keybound Pilots).--EA dev team leads.What is the input delay to the server why does an input, like primary secondary weapon and heal items still need to be mashed to hit 20-40ms or more windows so often. Missing 5-15ms inputs into the packet void feels so bad. Stormpoint today was especially slow to process, getting close to a whole second roundtrip for any action, very pathetic.
>>2706567stop simping for this pajeeta
hey guys, is this game enjoyable on a controller on pc? all the other competitive games are not viable on controller but i heard this game's different
>>2708413yes this is very playable on controller 2/3 of the pros play on controller because the aim assist is obscene
>>2708428what are the most common controller layout and aim settings? i'm playing bumper jumper with default sensitivity but i'd like to know if there's a common setting that i should be aware of
>Effective immediately, the use of “jitter aim” and/or RC filters to exploit aim assist systems and negate recoil on controllers is unequivocally considered cheating. We are taking a firm stance against players using these cheats and are taking action to stop them.>Apex Legends is now equipped with the necessary in-game detections to identify and disable these exploits. Players who are caught attempting to use hardware or software to alter aim assist or recoil patterns will be flagged as cheaters and have their accounts banned in accordance with our TOS.We are implementing this crackdown at a crucial time, to support fair play at EWC Paris, in addition to maintaining competitive integrity across Apex Legends. While we are implementing this solution to combat the issue, >we have alternate anti-cheat approaches we can pivot to should we need them. We will continue to monitor the situation and make additional changes as necessary.Rollerkeks on suicide watch
they need to make it so that theres no aim random spread when hip firing
>>2694736>took them 2 years to get round to this event after E-district came outwell atleast it looks good>>2694865>>2694917ive never played cyberpunk but looks like they nailed it
Haven't played in over a week and now theres less than a month to go to the newseason any leaks or hints as to what next season is bringing yet?
>queue ranked>get the carry by smurf duo match and win first time>go play mixtape or wildcard>log offthis is good time management instead of chasing wins in impossible lobbies and just end up miserable by the end
Why are all the EWC sponsors arabic lol
>>2709570Who do you think made EWC?
is this game fun solo?
>>2710291Depends on whether you get braindead teammates or not
>Unlimit wins three matches in a rowInsane performance.

Kinda feel bad for Yuka
You can taste the schadenfreude with that camera work on Zeta post match haha.
>Falcons not even Top 3AAAHAHAHAHAAHAHHHAHAAAHAHAHAHHA
>>2699036>nothing about it in-game>nothing about it in the ea app>not even a one-time splash message when the latest slop event has onewhat exactly is the plan to keep the viewerbase, here?
you guys play on fullscreen or borderless? does it matter?
>>2716025fullscreen, the ingame brightness setting doesn't seem to work on windowed/borderless for me for some reason
I'm new to the game (still downloading it). I'm wondering if I have to play with voice chat on with strangers? I feel anxious with that and it's worrying me.
>>2716584your gonna get queued with a discord duo that only uses in game voice when they fuck and up die
https://arazu.io/t3_1uuuhno/BASED DEPARTMENT IS ON THE PHONEIT'S RINGING OFF THE HOOK!go off, King
>>2716584>Settings > Gameplay > Communication Filter>Set to "Friends only" or "Nobody".This disables both text and voice chat by default. It does not disable pings.You can toggle all three on/off from the in-round Squad panel.You should be able to get by with just the ping system and your own situational awareness.This game has one of the best pinging systems ever.Having sane teammates with actually good voice callouts is great,but it's not worth dredging through the sea of retards with anger management issues.Note that during Legend selection it says "Press ? to mute squad" or something in the corner.Don't press this if you're using the Communication Filter as it will toggle everything back on instead :))

axle's drone ult seems a bit out of place lore wise. Her ult should be a summonable trident that the whole squad can use, which knocks enemies into the air if you turbo
at what hour does apex usually do updates?
>>2719971usually around whatever time this message shows.
>>2704956I hope so, day time might be better but its soulless
Oh yeh its a tuesday. Happy event day everyone! What's /axg/'s initial verdict?I can't remember the last time they straight up just named the skins after the characters but i guess it is a straight up collab event unlike other heavily inspired themed events which probably had some caveat to the licensing>>27199716pm GMT 0 iirc>>2716762Lmfao>immediate urge to dox himstreamer faggot moment fr fr
As always, I get nothing but rares from the event packs. Like 5 events in a row, opening at least 3 packs each time, I have not gotten so much as a legendary item, and the rares are just worthless stickers and holograms
>>2718480trvke
>>2721452Same here, but i dare not even open a pack yet. The holograms were fine, the gun charms were bad enough and then the stickers were the nail in the coffin for jewspawn purposefully bloating every pack with dogshit rares/epics
>>2721500I've opened around 400 bought and free apex packs and never got a single heirloom
>win match>feel nothing, requeue>lose match/lose rp>get angry, rage at teammates, day ruined, beat yourself up over mistakeswhy am I not having fun anymore?
>>2721732Played too much
>>2721732Apex will burn you out sometimes just play something else for a while
Blackwall Breach is so busted
>>2721452same, I pissed away about 1000 coins and 1500 metals on bullshit
>>2721505i dont even know how many i opened when i got my singular shards, probably was just the 500th pity pack
The retarded "you have to carry this shitter now" matchmaking is back again.
>>2721505>>2723511I eventually got heirloom shards and now I don't know what to do with them and won't spend them because I don't want to waste them
are valk mains the ones that are actual glue eaters? i thought it was caustics with their need to stay in one building and gas themselves constantly, but 9/10 times whenever valk mains are in my team they almost never ult when we're being pinned down by multiple parties.
when is this meme event gonna end? its so fucking annoying and all the skins look hideous
>>2725689I've been Valk maining and it's always my teammates who refuse to take my ult when we need to, or run away as I spam "ultimate is ready" trying to get them to regroup on me. I try to use it as much as possible since it's almost always worth doing. You get to reposition anywhere and also see every team around you. I still have teammates running into a killing floor instead, saying "we can just walk it in" and getting beamed by the team gatekeeping it
>Italians are basically Mexicans, right?
>>2726514I just ping, ult ready, then regroup ping on where im gonna ult and people generally listen
>>2726942I wish people were all like that. They'll more often comply when I actually initiate my ult, but the problem is I can't just start my ult anywhere in any situation. It's frustrating when you try to gather your teammates to join your ult, and you start it up, and one fucks around for just long enough for you to get shot from 300 feet away and cancel your ult out and make it have to recharge. And by then, the enemy team is already on you.
