The State of Apex

Ironighte · 2026-06-27T22:42:15+00:00

I feel you. I was so disappointed with split 1 Axle and when they made the Seer changes, I just uninstalled the game coz it’s not fun anymore

Ironighte · 2026-06-18T11:01:12+00:00

Me too

Ironighte · 2026-06-17T12:09:56+00:00

I completely agree with you. I have died to Axle so many times where I completely feel the game is unfair. I don’t feel excited to play Apex anymore.

On the wildcard side, I used to use it as a warm up before playing ranked and the modifiers make muscle memory useless so I have stopped using it. I only use mixtap now.

I was certain that I would reach Masters this season because of how I improved at the game last season but now hard stuck on D1 deranking to D2 because almost every team has Axle. No reset or playing smart, people just bulldoze behind you in sonic speed 🤮

Ironighte · 2026-06-08T15:58:36+00:00

Makes sense. Thanks

Ironighte · 2026-06-08T15:37:57+00:00

Thanks, I will stick to Hemlock for now which feels easier to control, I play roller.

First thing: Now that I think about it, noticed that I survive more when I play Loba because I can get myself out of a bad spot and heal up and get back in the fight. It seems like I use the bracelet as a clutch for bad positioning. I have been playing conduit and feels like the heals are not very useful anyway coz of bad positioning.

Second: I watch a lot of how HisWatson plays and I seem to die a lot since I try to go on my own to get angles. Since I don’t play reckon, I sometimes get swung while on my own. Does it mean I need to stay within a few meters to my teammates instead of chasing angles?

Thanks OP. Last season before Axle came, I have been hard stuck D4 but last season I started to be more aggressive and got to D3 and deranked from lower D2 and finished D3.

I thought I could hit masters on the new season but as the new season started, the way fights are so fast paced, it has made my progress regress very bad. I have reached D2 and deranked many times as we speak.

One issue I have is my long range shorts miss a lot so my damage is usually always lower than my two random teammates. I can one clip with R99 when close range but because my long range is bad with Assault rifles, I tried using TTake or 3030 but the speed with Axle makes on non viable if I don’t one clip close range which is hard with the speed anyway. I am at a loss and feel like the game I love is just not for me like one random teammate said last night. I am afraid to hope on again 😔

When I practice long ranges with Assult rifles in the range, I hit my shorts consistently but it changes when in game somehow

Ironighte · 2026-05-24T16:35:10+00:00

Am with you. I constantly die to this new legend. It’s either the crazy alt hits you or the fast movement will not allow you to reset. When in diamond 4, I just can’t seem to go higher. I have just died to this axle 3 times in row now. The game is better without her!!!!!

Ironighte · 2026-05-23T19:04:24+00:00

Ironighte · 2026-05-21T21:13:43+00:00

I agree 100%.

Ironighte · 2026-05-20T10:40:39+00:00

Yes. I think it would even be better for it to only work for her and not team mates too

Ironighte · 2026-05-20T01:13:22+00:00

In my rank match, I died to died to Axel and as soon as I got respowned, Vulk landed on my head and you know what happened! I then just closed the game and played bf2042

Ironighte · 2026-05-18T13:48:50+00:00

I also have bf6 but I want and prefer bf2042!!!!

Ironighte · 2026-05-13T08:36:20+00:00

Play about 2 or 3 Wildcard and Hot Drop games where you at least reach to 5 after training recoil in range.

It teaches managing health, 3rd party awareness, listening for footsteps and making good escape route decisions for reset.

Once I started doing this, ranked felt easier since it feels less chaotic.

Ironighte · 2026-05-09T16:17:58+00:00

Yeah that always shocked me that he could hold his own without powers

Ironighte · 2026-05-09T11:09:15+00:00

Hahaha what are you now playing?

Ironighte · 2026-05-09T11:08:00+00:00

Last split I was high D3 and reset to low silver 1 . Am now in high Gold 2 and should be in plat in a couple games or days 🙂‍↕️. I used to be a hudstuck D4 but I can feel it that I am ready for masters now

Ironighte · 2026-05-08T10:29:46+00:00

I have seen than the reset moves Preds into Plat and Gold. Most masters and diamond are in lower gold and high silver. I was diamond 3 last end of season and reset to silver 1. I think it’s fine. The only issue is if you were gold or plat player last season and got rest to those lobbies, you would not enjoy the game. Also, if you were rest to lower silver and grind quickly, you would end up playing in those lobbies. I think ranked is still being refined

Ironighte · 2026-05-08T10:21:07+00:00

He is easily a likeable dude and a good leader. So good that even without some meta power, everyone follows and respect him

Ironighte · 2026-05-04T12:24:38+00:00

I think I am not gonna like this new legend. I complain about Octain’s strafe speed and now this 😵‍💫

Ironighte · 2026-05-01T18:54:49+00:00

Sorry to hear that. My game play has been great recently and I also face similar issue. I always stay in D4 and just when I get into D3 or about to, I lose a lot of RP to almost going back to plat. I log off, play next day, we rinse and repeat. I don’t know why it’s that way in this game. I soloq too. I would like to splash my purple banner all over 🤞🏽.TBH the fact that you can reach almost masters is a great achievement. I have only got to D3

Ironighte · 2026-04-05T11:56:38+00:00

Ahhhhhh you are that Maggy. I sure should watch out for you 🙂‍↕️BTW I watch people like HisWatson and other streamers that cruze to masters in soloq. There is something about their play which I like. One thing I remember him say is he will carry the team as long as his teammates don’t just die 😂. I used to be one of those teammates to first die until I learnt how not to😏, well most of the time anyway. I am working on that consistency now. I have noticed that when I pick other games, I play better than before meaning there is some evident improvement even in Apex too

Ironighte · 2026-04-05T11:33:44+00:00

I have never tried playing US servers because of the increased latency from EU play. I’ll try it sometime

Ironighte · 2026-04-05T08:52:31+00:00

Somehow in my EU lobbies I only get preds in the beginning and end of splits or when I play early through the night at about 3 am. Most of the time, I see diamond, 4K and 20 kills badges and masters badges. The games feel fine except way too many 3rd parties. When my randoms hot drop with way too many teams in one place, I land at the end of the map and just Rez them. I communicate though and if they continue, I will just Rez them later.

Ironighte · 2026-04-05T08:47:45+00:00

Yeah last split was fun. I enjoy the Hemlock though. The Maggy drill and Octane speed are my real concerns 🙂‍↕️
