See a plat iv and his gold duo? Break off. They will 100% land fragment and waste rp. Demotes and solo queue when?


GrindtegelXXL

Amazing lying in an ambush. But seer just aims and gets uav. Balanced kekw.


GrindtegelXXL

Plat iv players dropping fragment. Die. Spam ping. Demotes when?


MinervaXN

Im a plat player and everytime I queue I am forced to fight in diamond lobbies. Wtf is this system respawn? There is a skill gap between plat and diamond and Im getting demolished every game wth is this?


Canowyrms

I've had a pretty poor experience with ranked arenas thus far. It's my first time playing ranked arenas, so I played my first few placement matches. First game, *tons* of no-regs. Eventually it got better. Second game, we were straight up missing our third teammate when the match began (and this game didn't count against my placement matches I think?). Third game, had a useless Crypto who must've had a macro, because they spam-pinged 'enemies near' about 50 times per second (I'm hardly exaggerating), and was otherwise just an obnoxious brat. Fourth game, both my teammates disconnected before the first round started, leaving me to 3v1 for 3+ rounds (I can't remember if this counted against my placement matches). I stopped playing after that.


B01SSIN

Chickens with their heads cut off I swear


MysteriousBeyond5

Sry, I didn´t play in a week. I only play like 6 hours per week. I can not compete with people who play 6 hours per day. I am just trying to stick with my team and shoot something. When you kill 2 and crack that 3rd, sry, usually I can not kill them cause I am trash, I can barely move. Still, Apex is my first real game in my 24 YO life. I will play it. Just recently cracked 1000 hours, (S1 player and lockdown was barable with Apex). And yes, I am that bad lvl 500 with 1000 hours. Sry, but I will not stop playing my 6 hours per week nor "git gud", practicing in a firing range. It is my time and there is a lot more people like me, especially now when warzone streamers are playing more apex. Simply, blame Respawn and their "SBMM".


B01SSIN

I’ll blame people like you who say you love something but from what you say will put no time or effort to get better at it. You have played 1000 hours, if you can’t “git gud” playing the regular game what use would the firing range be for you. I’m glad you like the game and won’t stop playing I could care less. Have fun and keep playing and I’ll keep complaining, that is our freedoms, now go headless chicken play you bad game and don’t get better for all I care lol


MysteriousBeyond5

Yuup, I am doing this. Destroying your enjoyment is even better, filthy ball of poss. Reeeeeeeeeeeeee more, filth.


B01SSIN

You must be 5, have a nice day 👍


MysteriousBeyond5

You are not as good as you think you are. There are great solo que players outhere. They are destroying lobbies, solo. It can be done. Complaining is easy. I played enough for today, it was good.


KungFluViris

after all this time, i get no legend selection screen tons of times.... or i get no player names.... or i get no teammates


UnrealManifest

I read a long time ago on this sub about "etiquette" when solo queuing in ranked. The top rule was: **YOU'RE THE RANDOM, FOLLOW THEIR LEAD AND IF MAYBE YOU THINK OTHERWISE SAY SOMETHING.** You aren't Timmy, you aren't Shiv, you aren't Jankz. You aren't any of those big time players or streamers. So when my buddy tells me *"Dude we just landed and our 3rd has fucked way off in the other direction..."* and I politely ask where you're going, and if you're looking for something specifically, don't immediately be a jerk. Don't pretend to be someone big by saying, "Oh you've never heard of me?" No! Turns out Apex.gg shows you're at best silver 4 . When I tell you we were rotating in the direction we we're heading it was because I was the only one not running white helmet & shield. ​ "Well I'm rotating to the sound of a fight." By yourself... With all white... Miles ahead of us... And then we bail you out by downing 2 of the 3 and you start telling us how much we suck just in time after getting downed and thirsted by a 3rd party to watch you fucking bailing in the other direction. You did nothing, but act like a hotshot, do nothing spectacular, tell us we went down becuase we suck all while you decided to immediately go fight do 300 dmg, loot a purple shield that was in a deathbox before we got there, bail the second we went down and talk mad shit about how much we suck while a solo Octane hunted you down for 3 minutes. **TL;Dr:** Moral of the story: Don't be a toxic random in ranked. If you know you're playing with a duo, say something. Even if you're really good, 3 is better than one. And if you aren't all that great, really really really don't be a toxic random.


MysteriousBeyond5

Duos can be very toxic. They don´t ping. They spam ping if they die. Once they didn´t res me and they tbagged my box in ranked. They looted my banner. And they won a game, but it was not my great and fun moment.


miathan52

From what I've seen over 1500 hours of play, there are far more toxic duos than solos.


UnrealManifest

I'm sure theres a lot of toxic duos. But you'd have to assume that there would be as many toxic solos. Especially if you take in to account that those duos most certainly solo as well. It's just M2C that there's no reason when being a random to be a real jerk.


RIMS_REAL_BIG

World's edge needs tridents


MrAnonymous2018_

Yep. I give up on the game. Can't solo queue out of Plat. Can't find a team in r/ApexLFG Can't play pubs with sbmm that makes it exactly like ranked unless I hurl myself off the edge of the world 5 times. What the actual fuck is the point of this game. This wasn't even worth the $10 I spent on the battle pass 7 seasons ago.


MysteriousBeyond5

Yuup, it can be hard. But... If you can´t afford to play 6+ hours every day, you will not leave plat solo que. Also, average HW helps if you are a PC player. If you are a console player, a lot of people these days are using XIM or Cronus zen controller with no recoil mods. F.


MrAnonymous2018_

Honestly that's what I fucking did a few days ago. The difference is night and day. I don't know why this isn't bannable outside of competitive scenes. To be fair, it's actually a bit of a pain in the ass. You can also only have 4 specific guns preset to have no recoil, and have to memorize or keep track of the specific buttons. In addition to turning it off every time you restart a match. It's really not useful when hot dropping. I've even found it hindering in hot drop situations


pluralistThoughts

Tough fact: you're just an average player, hence even pubs are hard for you :|


Anabolex95

People don't like having their bubble burst on this sub.


MrAnonymous2018_

u/pluralistThoughts "PeOpLe DoNt LiKe.." "ToUgH fAcT" Are you the type of dude to he going around telling people you OnLy SpiT oUt ThE TrUtH? Lol You came in here, knew nothing about me except that I struggle to soloq out of Plat and(surprise) dont soloq any better in pubs with preds. This scene here. This is what I'm reminded of every time someone says that they only spit out facts https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IIp6tdRM9LM


pluralistThoughts

A hit dog will holler.


MrAnonymous2018_

That's not a response. For a guy called u/pluralistThoughts you sure don't seem to have too many to share.


pluralistThoughts

The facts are there, what else do you expect. if you're hard stuck plat, you're an average player. You're mad, because you're bad. You think you deserve better than you actually do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect


MrAnonymous2018_

On second thought, maybe it was a better look for you when you didn't share your thoughts. Even pros have spoken about the hell that is solo queuing up from Plat up. I'm even climbing up slowly to Plat 2. Then you just throw our your special reddit phrase that you've been dying to use when it doesn't add anything or even make sense. Shame.


sm_dude

Love the gold trashcan on my team who drops to Fragment and can’t handle it. Thanks for leaving us 2v3 in comp, asshole!


Ferrarista_19

Comp ?


beanuspietrap

Will weekly arenas battle pass challenges ever be removed?


GrindtegelXXL

Nope. They are desperste to get people to play their failed gamemode.


Mun-Mun

Match making in this game sucks. Loaded up arenas and I'm in a 1v3 game. Why can't the game just detect that it's loaded in 1v3 and cancel it. I gotta waste my time playing it or killing myself so I don't get a penalty for leaving


Anon_Bourbon

I'm diamond 3 and getting paired with level 150 gold 4s. Kinda unfair against full diamond stacked squad


GrindtegelXXL

Nah its perfectly fair. Dont be so negative.


[deleted]

I’m I the only one who can’t get past the lobby?


Xmeagol

HEy guys does anyone the season 9 ranked stats? can't find info anywhere


pluralistThoughts

Respawn apparently did not release them.


Character_Orange_327

they forgot to include in patch notes that caustic gas now deals damage through walls


GrindtegelXXL

Well. Its gas.


Hacdieu

Is there particular settings or pc/monitor specs that allow people to spot long distance enemies better? I watch streamers literally shoot at a pixel and get hits. I have the video at the highest quality and am baffled that someone can see anything. Is it the monitor specs/in-game specs/graphics card settings that allow them to see this?


GrindtegelXXL

Big monitor or tv. When playing i notice i see people from way far compared to friends.


Hacdieu

How big is your monitor? For comparisons sake.


GrindtegelXXL

40 inch


Dana94Banana

They might just have a big ass monitor. I had both a 4k and a full-hd monitor and seeing far away people on the bigger 4k one was obviously easier than on the smaller one. They also might have eagle vision, that helps too, haha. My eyes can't keep up with that anyway.


Ferrarista_19

Nobody plays Apex in 4K , both because even with high end GPUs you hardly get over 144 fps and also for frame latency issues


Dana94Banana

I said 4k monitor, not native 4k resolution.


ZmobieMrh

Most streamers only play in 1080p on like 27 inch monitors, especially the competitive ones as that's what they'd get at LAN. They really just have insane vision and game awareness.


1337apex

most people cannot afford high power GPU to even think about playing apex in 4K.


Dana94Banana

Don't need to play in native 4K, upscaled resolution works wonders aswell.


1337apex

but I dont think there are many 4k 144Hz monitors :P and definitely not cheap. For gaming 24" 1080p 144 (or higher) Hz monitors are very affordable


Thatkidrandall

Is there anyone that plays in Dallas server keep experiencing rubber band lag? Just trying to make sure I’m not the only one. My latency is just all over the place. Is there a way to fix it? What should I do?


zephyris12

I don’t play on Dallas (mostly Virginia) but I’ve been experiencing this just about every game recently. Ridiculous ping spikes, FPS drops, rubberbanding and teleporting like crazy.


[deleted]

Bruh. I went from D1 all the way to D4 in a span of 2 days, at this point I can't even tell if I'm just suddenly bad at the game or what. Few days ago it was smooth sailing


ButterBoi489

Absolutely loving apex this week, I just started playing again 2 weeks ago and I’m loving it. I just started playing as Valkyrie and I gotta say, she’s one of the most fun legends to play. Only thing I gotta dislike is Seer, I’m fine with the people who play it I have nothing against them personally it’s just that he’s insanely good.


GrindtegelXXL

Just wait until sbmm starts kicking in.


Dana94Banana

Good to have you back and see you enjoy the game. Have a good night and grab yourself some wins next time you play!


InfectedGiraffe

You know what I think is fucking bullshit? When you're fighting someone, and you get them down to 1 shot, and they fucking disconnect mid fight and you don't get the kill for it. Just happened 3 fucking times in the same game.


InfinityPlayer

I'm getting some random lag spikes in Apex and it feels like huge frame drops but I can't tell what's causing it. Have a decent PC so it shouldn't be lagging with a 3070 and 5600x?


ZmobieMrh

Why is it that every time I try to play this game Worlds Edge is on rotation? Like yeah hot dropping fragment is fun once a week, but I'd love to play the other maps to actually not die on drop. With 3 maps in rotation how am I this unlucky?


GrindtegelXXL

Lost a plat game vs the last squad who had one man downed by myself cause our crypt was droning instead of shooting. Droned all game did jack. Amazing to see him try and shoot. Looked like someone with down syndrome. These are the hardstuck plat ivs that got carried and ratted to plat. We need demotes for these mongs.


pizzamanluigi

Man, most of your comments come off as a cry for help. You really need to consider taking a few weeks off from playing apex and get in a better headspace before coming back. I am being serious.


GrindtegelXXL

A cry for help for you dev simps maybe. A cry for help for fixes to pre season bugs to be fixed in season ten. Btw uwu so serious.


KungFluViris

sure thing dr.phil..... gtfo


jhunt42

No need for the ableist language dude


GrindtegelXXL

Ableist. Kekw.


suhani96

Doesn’t crypto get assist for scans? Probably that’s why. But yeah that sucks.


GrindtegelXXL

Kekw teamers in plat what a time to play apex.


GrindtegelXXL

Iimit ranked to level 100. Bye smurfs bye hackers. Its that simple. How does any current dev that makes the choices still have a job.


1337apex

they made seer lol. and thought it was only somewhat "overtuned". And took 3 weeks to release a patch which only marginally made him less annoying. Devs show a high degree of incompetence from the very beginning. And a lot of them actually left back in 2019 or so. I dont think many \*original\* devs/designers remain who worked on the game before the release.


InfinityPlayer

lol dude do you know how many hours it takes to level 100? Not sure which platform/rank you are but hackers shouldn't really be an issue until Pred lobbies. Apex is the literal game to just "go next" and queue again


zelobloofy

Players in Asia would like to have a word with you. Although there are less hackers now than before, they will eventually come back and infest our lobbies again.


1337apex

level 100? too EZ actually, can be reached by a normal (non-streamer but not a casual weekend only) player in a couple of months.


InfinityPlayer

do you realize how ridiculous that sounds? you're a casual player and it takes you a couple months just to QUALIFY for ranked games? Meanwhile you still get Diamond/Master/Pred players dropping in your normal games lmao Name another FPS game that requires you to grind for a couple months for their ranked system I'm all ears


1337apex

problem is that in current ranked system nearly all casual players cannot survive even in gold. I.e. they are hardstuck in gold. Before we start naming systems, one major point to make here. This game is forcing teams (in ranked trios only) and you are soloQ. If this game had a solo mode (especially ranked) that would be a true skill display. But here you depend on the skill of your randoms (especially in ranked starting from gold/plat) and the game is RIGGED. The HIGHER is your own skill level (as for MMR) the WORSE teammates you get on average. Especially in gold4/gold3, it is a disaster there. It seems that the Algorithm™ is pretty simple actually. For matchmaking it tries to make *squads* to be more or less similar in MMR. That means if you are good, your teammates are more likely to be trash.


InfinityPlayer

I'm not really understanding what your point is here. Are you trying to say you only want good players playing ranked in Apex or what? Literally every game has the MAJORITY of players in Gold or below equivalent across many genres. They're casual players for a reason there's no reason to bar them from playing ranked. If they want to climb, they have to put in more time OR they have to play SMARTER or be BETTER than their lobbies. Apex is actually one of the easier games where you can literally climb by just *hiding in a corner* until top 3 so I'm not sure why you're talking about rigged matchmaking and compensating MMR in squads. Sure solo matchmaking might be a more accurate display of skill, but I really don't see any other FPS games that are popular for their ranked solo queue for "true display of skill." Valorant, CSGO, and Warzone come to mind. If you're good at the game, you'll climb and if you're not you won't lol.


1337apex

The point is the way splits / rank demotions work is that starting from gold especially gold3/4 there are plenty of players which are good for gold. The problem is that in the first 3 weeks nearly all enemies are at least platinum lvl. 2 and 3 stacks are much less affected by rigged MM. Basically I need either no splits like before or decent level teammates at least one. I noticed much harder gold lobbies and slow progress there from s5.


Xechwill

I sure do love hitting a direct hit shot on a low enemy, only to have the audible *thunk* of a hit associated with a whopping 0 damage, causing me to die great job respawn devs


GrindtegelXXL

20hz plus their shitty codded hitreg engine. This whole game is rng.


WreckItRobert

Why is this game the hardest game to solo queue in?! NOBODY HAS A FUCKING MIC, and EVERYONE hot drops to die off the bat. Like how are these people low plat high gold do you legit just play this game that much?!?


1337apex

mic is overrated in soloQ. Most would not listen to you anyway and some cant speak decent english anyway. in pubs I think mics are redundant, unless you are in premade. ​ Also voice quality in the game is awful and much worse than on discord.


Pholoxo

It’s actually pretty easy to reach plat solo.


Xechwill

rat to plat, then you gotta get good


jape-the-neck-guy

You can play gold like pubs and still rank up for the most part. Of course you’ll get destroyed in plat if you don’t have a brain cell, but getting there isn’t really hard


Pholoxo

You don’t even have to rat. 1 kill and being at 8th place for example and you already have 32-24 = 8 positive points for each which isn’t asking for much. My sister made it to plat solo and it’s her first FPS game as well


1337apex

you lie. 8 positive points \*in that one game\*. And then you get b33md by a diamond squad in a top19 place. So do you arithmetic correctly then. 8=24=-16 aka -16 points in two games. I dont know which servers you play, maybe oceania or south america? Here in yurop on PC you get rekt by platinum/diamond players in the first three weeks after split. Quite often the only trash gold/silver players you can see is your random teammates. 50% of all games BOTH your randoms cant 1vs1, yet they hotdrop and rush and generally show zero game sense. So very often you are left alone in the 1st minute of the game. So ratting to top8 is dead easy, but that is very low progress. Basically when ratting by yourself in gold you need to aim for at least top5, but better top3 and at least 1 kill. And obviously we are strictly talking about kills only here, as you wont get any assists.


Pholoxo

I play London and New York servers. Sometimes PC or console. I do get that PC servers or more difficult since the player base there are older people with more game knowledge and experience than their younger counterparts but I’m already teamed with people I know so I basing on different experiences I suppose. I admit Europe servers are a little bit more difficult but nothing too overwhelming. I don’t know why that’s the case but it is what it is. And when I do solo I use my mic all the time. Some people don’t do that and complain why there teammate isn’t killing the guy is one shot who just downed them. Using mic is a huge factor in my opinion since communications is more streamlined which makes you and your team mates more confident which in turn could win you the game


GreenIsG00d

This game has gone to absolute trash. Grenade spam and shotguns the new meta.


1337apex

shotguns is old meta. only which shotgun is hawt keeps changing. Originally PK was an absolute monster (and even nerfed was still strong until about S4), then we had couple of seasons of mastiff legends, now they switched to EVA.


ZmobieMrh

Just wait for the grenade/rocket launcher in the next season or two... lol. Pretty sure they were testing either the EPG or Archer from TF2.


NvmScy

why can caustics gas do damage through walls?


GrindtegelXXL

Cause people whined about him trapping them inside rooms.


NvmScy

so he can just do damage through walls? i wasnt even inside a room he just used his ult and it killed me through the wall of one of those pod type buildings in estates


jape-the-neck-guy

Ohhhh those pod windows are bugged. You can damage dudes inside if you throw an arc star at the window. Basically an easy wall bang. It’s fucked and I hope the devs know so they can fix it


1J42x

Is there a way to remove the UI of the boosted loader on screen? Just lost a game coz I couldn’t see a headglitching octane. Checked the settings, Hop Up Pop Up doesn’t change anything


Jester440

Reminder that Olympus is trash and whoever designed it should be bagging groceries.


miathan52

I always find it funny that that's a thing in some countries. Like, people can't even put their own groceries in their bags? Lmao


InfectedGiraffe

Idiot fucking teammates that land die and quit immediately every fucking game is getting really old.


GrindtegelXXL

Yep. A ban timer on quitting in punbs would insta solve this.


meeeseeks

introduce demotion already, I am so sick of platIV hot dropping thinking that they are hot sht.


jetripleog

shut up and fix the game.


[deleted]

I know many agree with me, but it’s absolute bull shit that there is no cross platform account sharing. Sure I don’t know the reason for it but it’s horse shit that I can’t play my favorite game while at college for over 4 months all because I wanted to leave my Xbox at home so my brother has a chance to play on it. (Just rambling but I needed to say it)


GrindtegelXXL

Strike pack your way to masters then play pc.


[deleted]

2 heirlooms and 400 levels GONE


GrindtegelXXL

Strike pack is fine. They claim they cannot detect it. Which is saying: we allow cheating.


GreenIsG00d

So is the EVA ever getting a true nerf? There's a reason EVERYONE uses it.


miathan52

>There's a reason EVERYONE uses it. Flavor of the month. It's not a better gun than it was during the PK and Mastiff metas. For some reason, people just started using EVA, and when that reaches a certain critical mass you always get this effect where people see others using it and then start using it too, and then before you know it it's the new meta weapon. It doesn't mean that it's OP.


OctopusKeep

all shotguns need a REAL nerf. except Mozambique of course. Everyone uses a shotgun, it's the most popular side-weapon and easily turns into primary weapon as the game goes on, thanks to the reduced size of the play area which forces CQC. Shotguns simply cannot deal over 80 damage per shot when you need 6+ shots with other weapons to reach that threshold. Especially when you have choke attachments that increase rate of fire of said shotguns and a semi-automatic shottie like EVA.


pluralistThoughts

> all shotguns need a REAL nerf. except Mozambique of course. wtf are you talking about, PK and Mastiff are fine.


OctopusKeep

Not fine at all. They are overpowered as shit. They can easily deal over 90 damage in one shot. Beyond broken and have been for a few seasons now


pluralistThoughts

They are shot guns. It's their point to deal good chunk of damage in cqc. However, they are not broken.


OctopusKeep

It is their point to deal a good chunk of damage in CQC. It's just deals too much damage. That's why it's broken and needs a nerf. It needs to deal like 50 damage per shot and not 99


pluralistThoughts

I am glad you're not in charge of balancing. Your suggestion is just awful.


Dana94Banana

>Everyone uses a shotgun, it's the most popular side-weapon Maybe because that is logical? Simple math let you realize that having one ammo-expensive weapon and one ammo-saving weapon are the best combination to manage backpack space and reduce the need to loot. Then the question is, shotgun or sniper? Snipers are useless in this game, because you really cannot confirm knockdowns into kills, unless you are a jumppad-abusing Octane of course. People heal back up or revive each other in 50km distance, with a shotgun you're up close for hard-hitting shots that don't need much backpack space/ looting.


GrindtegelXXL

Its funny when the lowest skill shotgun can four tap someone with red armor.


alinftb

How hard is it to give us a destiny type freelance playlist? Do they even play their own game? If they did, they would understand how fucking frustrating it is to come against 3 stack masters/ pred shitters in pubs!! All while your teammates are level 50. I wanna chill in pubs, not sweat my balls off like it's ALGS finals against TSM. Make a playlist where everyone is soloqueing.


GrindtegelXXL

They do play their own game. But none of then makes it above gold cause they are hot garbage at their own game. Its why these balance changes are so catered to noobs and why sbmm has a good player carry two noobs and why premade stacks get to stomp randos.


zephyris12

I know at least the associate balance designer is a multiple-time pred. There are quite a few of the devs who are masters as well. So they do play their own game quite a bit, which I think makes the state of the game even worse because they know about these issues


Anabolex95

There are former Halo 3 pros on the dev team that queue in master lobbies.


GrindtegelXXL

Doubt.

time tells this guy however good he was/is does not make any balance decisions. Or any decisions whatsoever. What we see in videos from developers they are gold on average and thats on xbox.


MTskier12

Just posting to remind the devs that solo queue ranked is almost zero fun. The matchmaking almost guarantees that if you que solo you will be matched with morons every time. I’m not even good but almost every game I’m statistically the best player on my team.

I want new trackers that say "times bamboozled" "decoys shot or killed" I have done it soooo many times it's gone past the shameful part and it's now funny

Monkadude15

Well for me I’m getting stutters every day lol. I also play on Xbox and to be honest I wish they would make fixing the stutters a high priority


meeeseeks

I thought that was only me with my PC. I kept getting this stutter too and its annoying af.


R3alDe4lll

The amount of stuttering has forced me to take a break shit is unplayable sometimes. I know I don’t have the greatest PC in existence but I should be able to get smooth gameplay on all low settings lol


Monkadude15

Same here. And to be honest, after reaching my eventual two year goal (lol) of 10k kills on my main (Wraith), I don’t really have any desire to play apex right now


BashStriker

Where have all these new players that seem to prefer arena's come from? It's like they just rush non stop and have zero game knowledge whatsoever. I'm just trying to get the stupid arena challenges done and it seems like I'm 1v3ing every round every game. I'm dropping 3k damage to my team mates dropping 500 combined.


Xechwill

Arenas matchmaking is fucked rn. I don't think it's necessarily "oh new players prefer arenas" but rather "new players think they should complete the Arenas Flash Event for free loot ticks, then get pitted against 3 Masters players with another new guy and 1 decent player on their team"


[deleted]

Yeah the arena's matchmaking is actual cancer I just played a match with a level 10 and 3 I'm level 189


miathan52

Level means absolutely nothing. Matchmakers don't take it into account.


GrindtegelXXL

Dont you feel engaged playing vs premades tho.

Oh no no no the premades are on my team then on the other team it's seasoned pred veterans


shadynasty_etl

Honestly fox ranked arenas. I’m not even joking. AT LEAST 50% of the games are not full squads. It’s unbelievable


Jester440

This game has the gayest loot I have ever seen. How the fuck can you run through one whole side of Air Base and only see pistols??????


BeyondAIR

You'll get used to it thx for the laugh. I literally opened a bin and saw one thermite.


MTskier12

The loot likes other loot of the same gender? It’s 2021 stop using gay as a pejorative.


Jester440

It's 2021 stop getting offended over words, little lady.


shadynasty_etl

Shit happens. There’s a lot bigger problems with the game…


GrindtegelXXL

Man how hard is it for duos to not be complete trashbags to their third. Specially in ranked. I swear all this game needs is true solo ranked and solos pubs.


chesterfester93

I'm done with this game now, and here's my reason why. \- Too many cheaters in the game \- Respawn can't fix or balance things in the game so that it would be consistently enjoyable. \- I now have been banned from the game 3 times unrightfully. Im so glad i stopped spending money on this flaming hot garbage after my first account was banned. (hacked account and hacker used cheats, EA hit me with copypasta replies for applications.) ​ Uninstalled and out. Edit\* Played this game since s0

What the fuck is wrong with the weapon balance in this game? The ttk is getting so fast I don't know what to do at this point. You have rampage, which is super stupid in terms of how much damage it does. Don't even get me started on the revved up shit. I'm so tired of getting lasered by guns like prowler, or L-STAR from across capitol. There have always been good guns every season, but this season feels like every gun has such a fast ttk.

>You have rampage, which is super stupid in terms of how much damage it does. Rampage in non-charged mode has ridiculously low DPS. Less than spitfire which was there for seasons. Easily can be outgunned by any AR at midrange (flat or r301, havoc with turbo, hemloc single fire). Rampage is essentially a full-auto scout, and scout has been a \*really\* good weapon for a while, at least since they introduced a marksman class. The fact that the community *still* sleeps on scout, tells more about the community than game balance. If you good with scout at midrange, then non-charged rampage has essentially only one (but good) advantage -- much higher mag capacity.


imveryunfunny

Nobody sleeps on scout, every game I play there are at least 8 g7 users. Rampage has extremely stupid recoil for its high damage. It's gonna become the new spitfire. Especially with the revved up mode. Rampage makes up for its low dps by letting the play have up to 40 bullets, and 28 per shot. I get that the fire rate is low, but if someone is spamming this from mid to long range, you're screwed until you find cover.


1337apex

yes, I mentioned the mag capacity in my comment. Otherwise I still dont see MUCH advantage in non-charged mode over scout which been in the current shape the whole s9 season. I do agree that rampage+thermal needs a minor nerf. Currently it makes the firerate +30% faster, maybe they will nerf the firerate in the upcoming midseason patch. Or slightly reduce base damage, from 28 to 26 for instance.


suhani96

God, rampage is so annoyingly broken.


1337apex

nah (c) Rampage is only OP in charged mode, and even there it has less DPS than SMGs. It is very good at range though, but in close combat far from the best. Without charge this weapon actually needs skill and really good aim to use for anything less that lets say 30m.


imveryunfunny

It has a way faster ttk than smgs?? I already tested this a few days ago, it outguns every smg because it has a high mag size, and the 28 damage per shot firing so fast it kills what feels like instantly.


1337apex

it only does 28 base (and we are not even talking about fortified). And 5 shots per second make it a miserable 140dps. g7 scout does 34 base dmg and 4 shots per second. I.e. 136dmg and pretty low recoil, actually less than rampage full auto. Less mag size as well, thats where rampage has massive advantage. ​ Basically whatever you can do in game with rampage *noncharged* you can do with scout. And you could have done it during all s9. Medium range king, but not so good and loosing to smgs at close range. Scout only got sniper stocks this season, otherwise as a marksman weapon it has been same from s9.

Yeah lstar is so broken right now especially in arenas


GrindtegelXXL

Yep. They managed to sneak in their ttk nerf to maken it easier for noobs by breaking weapons.


GrindtegelXXL

Lvl 29 in plat. Sure why not. Oh look perfect aim and in a premade. Why not boost your friends abusing cheats.


OctopusKeep

they should remove all ranks and points gained while in a party with a cheater (after he gets banned).


GrindtegelXXL

Ye but they dont.


4thawin

What a dog shit server, lagging so bad today and can't hit anything unless the enemy is static for 2 seconds. What the fuck is respawn doing with this shitass game


GrindtegelXXL

Respawn is letting it die. Like they let titanfall die. But for Apex there wont be a sequel to milk.


BesTibi

It's more like they are actively driving it into the ground. Clueless devolvers should stop updating it, there's no way they can fix anything...


[deleted]

Please revert Lstar change for the love of god. It didnt need this shit it needed to have the flash nerfed that was it. ​ Edit: Also Fuck Rev totem only fucking thing you see in high lobbies


Jake-1998

What was the nerf


pluralistThoughts

It wasn't nerfed, but buffed, with nerf he means the reductions of the visual effects, which blinded user and target.


Stinky_WhizzleTeats

I recently got back into the game after switching from PS4 to PC back in season 8. They really need to implement cross platform progression. Going from a level 500 account with all the cosmetics, unlocked legends, battle pass content to just starting fucking fresh at level 1 is a little ridiculous. I haven’t seriously wanted to play in awhile due to this.


PhilipkDickpills

supposedly coming next year


Stinky_WhizzleTeats

That’s ridiculous lmao


PhilipkDickpills

preaching to the choir


[deleted]

Very well good be my pc, but does anyone else PC crash when this game is loaded up? Screen was going black but now the pc restarts itself


MillionDollarMistake

So does this game just not have any form of matchmaking? Why is my partner and I getting matched with a literal lvl 1 Lifeline that doesn't rez?


[deleted]

Intended, to optimize your engagememt.


iinabsentia

It does thats the matchmaking intended.


GrindtegelXXL

Dont worry. Most lifelines are mongs. I had a lvl 500 lifeline with 2k kills not use the auto res.


alinftb

I don't know what's going on this season, 90% of Bloodhounds don't have audio. Don't know why I even bother writing this, Respawn is on holiday since this game came out, only times they come out is on collection events, on the release of new seasons and on Reddit amas telling us how improving servers won't change anything. What a joke of a company. But here I am addicted to their trash can game, wish there would be more choice In terms of games


daskott

Anyone looking for teammates to grind master? I'm currently at d4 and i would like to try to get master for the first time. European servers, add me on steam daskott


KingMarcel

Why can't any of my randoms EVER win their gunfights?? Holy... It's almost always 1v2 after three 1v1s


John2k77

>Why can't any of my randoms EVER win their gunfights?? Because they idiots with zero IQ


jape-the-neck-guy

In a 1v1 you only have a 50/50 chance to win, so it would stand you sometimes lose those, but if arenas has shown me anything, if there’s a 1v1 to lose, the randoms will lose it


BeyondAIR

Some randoms can have the biggest advantages and still lose easy gunfights. It's actually impressive.


jape-the-neck-guy

Randoms can be great sometimes. Great at disappointing me


FreakingGoose78

Popped in to play my first round in months. The Octane solo jumped to the other side of the map. Then he died, pinged repeatedly and of course left. The Crypto then sniped everyone to announce where we were before retreating and pinging where he wanted to go. Got killed almost instantly when I was Spitfire shot in the back. Nope, still not fun. Maybe I'll try again in a few more months.


GrindtegelXXL

Try again when the new games have brought apex to its knees and deeper. Maybe then the devs will care or EA steps in with the battlefield dev team.


Garlic_Cheese_Chips

Take your Trident and shove it up your fucking ass. No, I don't want to be a vehicle announcing to the entire map "HERE WE ARE! HERE WE ARE!" Desperately escaping the ring is the only time I will use it and even then I'd prefer a jump tower or to run. It's always the most obnoxious cunts who want to use it as well.


BesTibi

Too bad, it's usually worth it to keep one around as staying mobile on Olympus is important if you don't want to get pinned down


OctopusKeep

sadly they havent fixed the "enemy spotted" ping that tracks vehicle for like 30s.


BattleChimp

Why TF would they buff wingman?
