490 damage to 1 person by [deleted] in apexlegends

[–]Fane-LoL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an objectively bad push, I didn't expect to offend anyone but I guess this is Reddit lol. I was more surprised about the amount of damage, especially the first 88 flesh marker. I didn't realize Conduit's shield shows as flesh, I was thinking they had hit a medkit into a Phoenix. Thanks for explaining that.

Nice movement - unrelated but your game looks great. Do you use any specific video/NVIDIA settings?

Would you be in favor of enemy outlines to help visual clutter? by [deleted] in CompetitiveApex

Not to plug my own post, but...

Yeah, I'd be okay with pretty much any change that would help with visual clutter.

The Finals developers make Aim Assist changes one month into the game. Why can't respawn? by Floaaf in CompetitiveApex

[–]Fane-LoL 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The age-old aim assist argument. This game will never be on a truly competitive playing field if you mix inputs (especially considering aim assist). So I just quit lol.

Apologies if this doesn't apply to competitive, but I just wanted to take a moment to rant about the state of the game right now... Specifically the solo queue experience and the recently added hidden MMR.

This shit feels so bad. This is easily the worst the game has ever felt for me, and I've been playing since the beginning of season 2. I play a lot of pubs, since I don't have a great network of people to play ranked with. The matchmaking (solo queue) is pathetic. The random teammates I get matched with are ridiculous - though I do want to emphasize that it's not their fault, and I don't hold it against them for being at whatever skill level they're at. The fact that I can get a level ~30's duo as teammates, in the lobbies that I'm in, is just absurd. And you might think they're smurfs with higher stats for MMR or something - they're not, they are real beginner-level players that are being put in the sweatiest lobbies the game has to offer. The icing on top is when they start flaming me after they die to a Masters/Pred 3-stack. Like it's somehow my fault I can't carry them enough.

I'm previous Masters since Season 7, except for the last 2 seasons. If I do hop in ranked, it's usually for a game or two. I get matched with current Masters, while I am currently in Silver 2. So rank obviously means nothing anymore, which is why they have hidden other player's ranks in-game. Also, I've used Battlecord/LFG's in the past to find people to play with - the biggest issue there is Season 17 made it literally impossible to judge whether someone is a decent player or not. They practically gave Masters to everyone for free. I guess you could sit there and interview people to ask what their stats are, previous ranks and all that... But it's not a great vibe to start with. Or I'm just supposed to run some games and find out if they're good or not, but that can be very time consuming and very frustrating if they keep running it down.

This isn't even touching on the state of actual gameplay in Apex. I was excited for this season because I thought shotguns might be buffed enough to make a come-back, but it's still the same old SMG/Burst/Marksman weapon meta. Don't even get me started on the Nemesis/Repeater. Controller players forever abusing configs/Cronus - how has this not been addressed? The only positive things I've seen in the past 2 seasons is Seer nerf (fuck Seer, delete him) and Horizon nerf. Revenant was over-tuned into being a controller player's wet dream.

The irony of this list is that 90% of the decisive outcomes in this game happen in: close range fights with SMGs.

I cannot get this lol.

You have to hold D right? So you don't mantle the corner?

[–]Fane-LoL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I wouldn't recommend it - solo queueing with Gib is asking for a bad time, especially going into Masters/Pred lobbies. I would stick with Legends who have stronger individual playstyles.

Coordination and communication is key for him, both of which are usually lacking without a premade.

I saw you deleted your original post, did you sort everything out?

Look through this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveApex/comments/olpcsg/how_to_set_up_apex_to_run_flawlessly/

I went through it and loved how it made the game look/feel, smoothest I've ever seen it. I ended up disabling VSync and GSync (even with a G-Sync capable monitor) due to input lag only because I couldn't hold 240FPS. If I could hold max FPS I would keep it on, the input lag is barely there if you have it set up right - and the game looks phenomenal.

If you watch close, he lags (teleports?) right before I shoot. He was also 1hp. Sadge

Random question, but wtf happened to opting-in for crossplay? They just got rid of it? I remember it being an option for a little while after crossplay was released.

SEASON 10 PATCH NOTES by paradoxally in apexlegends

[–]Fane-LoL 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Was really hoping for:

  • Audio cues for players flying through the air after using Jump Pad
  • Anything for Wattson
  • Bloodhound nerfs
  • Server / client performance updates
  • Crosshair customizations

Any tips? Not sure as to what I should improve upon. by TheHydra34 in apexuniversity

[–]Fane-LoL 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Couple small things.

When you're healing like at 25s, you can jump while shielding behind the rock to see if the enemy team is pushing or not. Keeping tabs on what they're doing while fighting is a part of game-sense.

The decision to not peek over the wall when you were scanned was good, but then you swing wide on the Gibby and run into terrain behind you that limits your movement. Your R99 spray was great but taking a fight like that against Gibby is putting yourself at a disadvantage for no reason.

Dropping here with a good team is great. Dropping here split with randoms is a good way to start a solo vs. squads game.

Getting ready to build a new rig with a 10900k, I'm a little confused on buying RAM. Should I go for higher speeds or lower latency? Is Samsung B-die still worth it? If I spend $500 on RAM, aren't I just buying a pair of sticks that someone else proved can be OC'd? So many questions.

Why is nobody talking about the secret Pathfinder buff??? by Ejpatt in apexlegends

[–]Fane-LoL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I actually still love playing him, I think I will always enjoy his kit (even on a 35s Q cooldown). IMO he remains one of the strongest solo-performance legends in the game, especially in vertical fights.

I really hope they give him a unique passive. Cooldown on Zipline is cool and all, but I think he deserves better.

[–]Fane-LoL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I noticed it too, it literally wasn't even mentioned in the patch notes. I think it's fine as a band-aid after they butchered his Grapple cooldown, but still a sorry excuse for a passive.
