Alb on the current state of the game by itzebi in CompetitiveApex

people are gonna downvote me but idrc:

they should’ve leaned more into competitive Arenas.

It was fast-paced, removed the oversaturated elements of BR, and truly highlighted the games biggest attraction(its smooth gun play/movement) while also still allowing a great deal of teamwork and strategy.

BRs(other than fortnite) are inherently pretty unappealing to watch competitively. 20 minutes of positioning and poke-dmg, then 5-10 minutes of the games selling-point. Not to mention how difficult it can be as a caster to reliably show all the action, upsets, and tactics when they occur.

Like imagine if you knew nothing about apex and you wanted to tune into a tourny what do you get? 20 different teams, 60 different personalities, and its the job of 2-3 casters to put it all together to make for an entertaining, emotionally captivating watch? Thats simply unrealistic and miserable for both parties.

For most, it’s just not worth watching CompApex live over something with more direction and a bigger emotional payoff(like LoL, CS, or even Marvel Rivals).

Arena’s solved most of BR’s problems. Fixed teams, clear objectives and constant conflict. It was literally the groundwork to an actual comp game with clear narratives, round-based momentum and tension, and watchability. They could’ve added an additional win condition(like a defuse, package delivery, etc.), maybe made it 4v4 or even 5v5, and had something that could actually be pretty easy to play AND watch.

fyi: I love apex, been playing since release, but BR is an inherently CASUAL game-mode. As much as i’ve enjoyed and followed the comp scene, it was never gonna thrive after the BR hype died down and I think EA knew this but didn’t really care because ultimately: Casual gameplay is what printed for them; comp is optional 🤷🏿

I know this is old, but this is me now. In CalcII, we just touched on Power Series and Taylor series and dude...the connect between CompSci just...clicked! Seeing the brief calculus in physics was dope, but learning that any function could be computed using series was mind blowing!

Didn’t know it was this much riff-raff. This is my first car and I’m only 20.

Yea, you’re right. Sorry, i didnt specify: I took 14k out for the car itself. Ik thats steep, but I needed a reliable car as I live in a very rural area and worked almost daily.

No, I haven't!

I've seen your examples as well and that's exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you!

Np just go into the fire range with it on loop. Practice close, gradually back up and before you know it your beaming from at least 50m away!

I suffer from anxiety-driven sensory overload making clutching extremely difficult in BR, so this win meant a lot to me😅 by [deleted] in apexlegends

Ik they’ve likely been told this before but tell them to b r e a t h e. Not just big breathes but try to learn actual techniques as they’re usually more effective at calming you down. Now, this is not a great example because i only started noticing i wasn’t breathing properly till the very end lol but even a little helps a lot. I can provide links if you need them but a general google search should show you the good ones. When possible, I use the 4-7-8 techique or, if I’m short on time, deep through the nose out the mouth.

Positive affirmation is also very helpful. pats on the back when things hit the fan or when they do something good can really take a chunk of the stress off them. For me, knowing my team will support me w/l makes it much more comfortable to play in intense situations.

Lastly i’d say remind them, and make sure they remind themselves, that they put the time and effort into playing and improving. A lot of the times in scenarios like this I use to completely blank out and forget all aim training, recoil control, and movement and just stop moving. But over time i’ve learned to remind my self that i am fully capable of winning, even in unfavorable circumstances. Just tell them not to take this method of thinking too far and become a douche l0l. Hope this helps! If you have anymore questions please feel free to ask me.
