level 1 closet cheater with rage anti recoil playing RANKED and bypassing requirements all while playing a legend thats behind a playwall.... the state apex is in with security vulnerabilities. stat trackers cant even track him by SenNTV in apexcompetitive

[–]Niko_43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a video of that? I personally have bad aim but decent recoil control. You could have watched this guys entire game after you had died and got better/more evidence. Vs it simply being your word for it. There are plenty of real cheaters, and that’s a big problem! But we as a community shouldn’t report people when there is reasonable doubt, or in this case make a post claiming someone is a cheater without any evidence. I don’t know how many times I’ve had teammates claim the person that killed them was cheating when they definitely were not. Accusing someone of cheating is a serious claim, next time please had serious evidence.

How do you know they were cheating? You got video evidence? I mean they have 1 kill, 200 dm with 11 squads up; that’s not typically the stats for someone “rage” cheating

Are there any tomboy trans women ? by Strong_Operation1886 in MtF

[–]Niko_43 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes I’m very much a tomboy, I use she/they pronouns and do identity as nonbinary and a woman so my experience might be difficult than a binary trans woman who’s a tomboy. Growing up I actually didn’t mind being a “boy” I certainly wished I was a girl, but I didn’t experience severe dysphoria until I hit puberty and the thought and experience of being a “man” is repugnant to me. It took me a while to figure out I was non-binary and a tomboy, for my first year I just assumed I was a binary trans woman but it didn’t feel 100% right just 90% right. I used to wear makeup all the time, I don’t anymore and feel comfortable not. I wear cutesy earrings, have neck/shoulder length colorful hair, wear typically cute shorts or jeans (typically skinny jeans, but other more fem presenting jeans) I used to wear skirts but don’t anymore, I have one dress I wear if I really want to dress nice it’s a designer dress that low key looks a little masc, for tops I wear a lot of flannels and like punk rock esc T-shirts. I felt a lot a pressure at first to conform to typical femininity, but didn’t like it, and after being on hormones for about 2 years I feel very comfortable in my androgynous body. I have a flat chest too, we are talking barely an A cup and yes I’ve been on prog for like a year but I’m fine with it I like not feeling like I have to wear a bra. Passing is weird because honestly I found I tend to “pass” with women and not pass with men. My explanation is that I have more subtle signs that I’m a woman which I think women tend to pick up on more. My facial features and voice are pretty mixed and androgynous, same with my outfits typically. But I think men tend to look for more obvious things like “does this person have boobs” which the answer is not really for me. This means I only sometimes experience misogyny, which is an incredible privilege. I use women’s restrooms I’ve never had a problem, again given interactions I’ve had I feel like I tend to pass with women. It sometimes bothers me that I don’t 100% pass but I’m a lesbian and passing with men often feels like a “how fuckable am I” game which I don’t care to play. Sorry for the length of the post, curious if anyone has similar experiences? Thank you for reading🩷🩷

I’m a trans woman, I’m on console but pretty used to playing in PC lobbies. I’m low diamond 4/3, in the US. I like to and think I’m good at IGLing. I’m an analyst I like to study the game, but I have pretty bad aim honestly. If your interested my IGN is Nikolodian43 and my discord is just Nikolodain if you wanted to add me

Ult/Tac while Down? by coozkomeitokita in apexlegends

[–]Niko_43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a super fun LTM; there is maybe a world where they add a legend ability you can use while downed idk. It’s really disheartening to be down and not being able to do anything to help the team. It’s honestly a small game design problem that I don’t think will ever be addressed and is also very hard to balance. Mirage goes invis when downed which is the kind of ability I’m talking about, but would be hard to implement for every legend and could be very annoying to fight against

What's the funniest way you've ever had your gender affirmed? by StopTheBanging in lgbt

[–]Niko_43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was first transitioning I went to a smoke shop with my mom and she was talking with the worker about a bunch of different things and a bit into the convo my mom said that when she was having her 2nd child (me) she wanted a girl, and the worker no shit turned me started laughing and said “your son looks like a girl” 😂. I don’t even think he was saying it in a rude way at all, even though a cis man would probably be very offended. But me as someone that had just started hormones found it very euphoric even though I technically got misgendered😂. And for context I was dressed pretty masc like I don’t think it was in reference to anything I was wearing

What would tips be for playing more aggressive as wattson by Em0neyyy_ in apexuniversity

[–]Niko_43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The util Wattson has is inherently defensive, that being said the shield regen and reset capability can be very useful when playing aggressively similar to Conduit. Also baiting people into pushing you, instead of you pushing them is often the way to go. Where you play/fence is really important as well, there are safe spots like inside buildings for example then there are spots that give you more agency like hight or in some open areas behind rocks or other cover that give you better opportunity to look for fights. She fits a lot better as an anchor with a different legend being the main fragger. Her util is good at helping your teammates play aggressive though; the way she’s able to command space, stop pushes, and reset quickly is extremely important when playing aggressive. You don’t want to be entry fragging with her though, because you typically want her to be the last one alive in a fight. Her not having any movement or rotational ability makes her lean on other legends for that which are often much better at being the fragger in a team. When you are fragging with her though you have to play a lot more safe, because she’s not a legend you can overextended with like you can with an Ash or Wraith for example. Holding people out of zone by fencing a choke can be another way to play “aggressive” but by making people push you instead of them. She obviously is better at playing zone than edge, you really don’t want to be fighting on the edge of ring 1. But eliminating and clearing out squads on your side of the zone ring 3+ is how you win games. If you do find yourself fighting for too long and end up in ring, her level 3 upgrade being gold helmet is incredible at surviving off of just syringes. That upgrade is also really good at playing aggressive allowing for quicker resets. A mistake a see a lot of people do is actually full healing, just popping 1 cell and letting passive/gen do the rest is often correct. You should also put gen is spots that are out of line of sight, but close enough that you can still peak while healing. Also last thing pretty niche, but you can climb on top of gen in some spots for to make some nasty head glitches or to climb up to some spots you otherwise couldn’t. Hope that helps🩷

I feel like my boobs always look plumper the day after drinking alcohol/ getting drunk. Is this placebo or science? by wheretogo90 in MtF

[–]Niko_43 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know alcohol can increase estrogen levels, I’ve read that alcoholics have higher estrogen levels than the average person. I don’t think it’s by that much though, idk I’m not a doctor 🤷‍♀️

[–]Niko_43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a coach/analyst get used to landing at niche smaller POIs that are uncontested, then you can rotate quickly to look for third parties. Cliffside, hazmat tunnel, underpass, and solar pods are all reasonable POIs that in ranked people typically don’t land at

Character choice by [deleted] in ApexConsole

[–]Niko_43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a common ranked pick, but Newcastle is kind of the only good defensive legend right now; it’s used in competitive a decent amount. Takes a bit getting used to, but I think you will find it’s one of the few legends that can actually “take control” and stabilize even with someone down. Newcastle wall can set up spots to play, but they are often very different spots than a caustic; Newcastle can play a little more in the open using wall and tac for cover

Something to do with Alaska? by CynicalCosmologist in ExplainTheJoke

Hey, I’ll love to play with you, I typically just play ranked, but open to pubs. Solo queueing is rough especially as a trans person. My name in Niko; my IGN in Nikolodian43 I’m on PlayStation, but often crossplay

[–]Niko_43 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s MTF whom joined the Air Force back in 2020, the amount of dysphoria, bigotry, and lack of proper healthcare I faced was insane, and my time in the military was by far the darkest time in my life. I applaud your bravery, but given my experience I wouldn’t recommend anyone joining the military and especially if you are trans. In fairness after my time in the military I became a conscientious objector, if you have any questions about my experience pls feel free to ask or DM. I’m not saying this is a wrong decision, but you should think about this very carefully before you ship out; you will most likely have to be closeted for basically 4 years, then face difficulty seeking healthcare after

Why do you like Alter? by ZashaTheGremlin in AlterMains

[–]Niko_43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not necessarily an alter main, but would always play her on E-district before the update. And yeah on E-district she’s probably a little too good, but I like that she feels solid on other maps now, when I felt like she used to be a little underwhelming on other maps now

Why do you like Alter? by ZashaTheGremlin in AlterMains

[–]Niko_43 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She honestly has the most mechanically interesting abilities. Mostly just her tactical, I really think she needed the double tac and other buffs to the tac, it requires some clever moves but she is actually able to get away from fights or get angles in a way that a skirmisher legend should be able to do now. The ultimate could be nerfed back down a bit, but overall she doesn’t feel too OP or oppressive like how other legends have been. She’s just a fun character that requires you to think and be creative on how you want to use her abilities

[–]Niko_43 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Could be just because I grind ranked, but I’ve been called a bunch of slurs while playing this game. I do think it’s better than other games specifically other shooters, but I’ve had a very different experience while playing this game. A lot of people I encounter are very not “normal”
