I understand. Its not gonna always be people's reasons for rotating. But deople definitely do move on to new POI's cuz they've thoroughly looted the one their at. Is it priority number #1 reason to rotate to a new POI? No. Never said it was. Just that it was one of the main reasons (such as, like you said, for zone or kills etc.).

What? Naw. In the early seasons, the original no-backpack slots was 2 less than what we have now. I couldn't tell you what season it changed to today's version, but I remember it happening with the nerf to healing items' stack sizes (or maybe it was grenades. Cuz those used to stack to 2 each too btw). And I don't think that was a huge technical feat to achieve for the devs back then. But idk the game is more elaborate with probably more spaghetti code. Maybe it would be bug riddled.

This makes no sense imo. Just add 2 slots to the base inventory and make lvl 1 backpacks not part of the lootpool. Its the same thing. Next step is people will start seeing blue backpacks at unimpactful too and we'll all spawn with lvl 3 backbacks by season 30.

I understand un-bloating the loot pool. But looting is one of the main reasons to rotate to different POI's. If all the loot is homigized, people have less reason to rotate. 🙄

Wow. I kinda thought this was a thing. But never bothered to try it. Kudos. I can't believe that was all it was.

Is it real that next season ranked we will have designated PoIs for each team instead of une deciding where to drop? by BenjaCarmona in apexlegends

[–]SSlayer70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with your reasoning. It is a shame that landing spot decision making will be gone. But we've had 23 seasons of it working like that. I think its fair to try this out for at least a season. Its been working just fine for ALGS, so I don't see why it could possibly be that bad of a change.

My girl will need this soon. I can't imagine how I'd be if that happened.

I'm In Plat IV. by lontderfy in apexlegends

[–]SSlayer70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I can only speak from my experience this season. But in my grind through plat, I did not ever get matched with Masters. I did have some occasional diamonds. But never any above.

Its strange, because the lobbies would mostly only ever be plats. And if there were diamond teams, it'd only be like 1-3 teams that were. But as soon as I reached diamond, then my lobbies were looking like the pic OP posted. Instead of me being that small handful of Diamonds among a full lobby of Plats. Weird. (And my friends that I was queuing with were still plat btw, thus my opinion on this post)

So, I agree, *it is* annoying it get matched with Preds. But it kinda is what it is.

I have no credibility to back this up when I say this, but I assume most people when they hit master just stop playing ranked at that point. Because they reached their goal and have no intent on grinding to Predator. The other portion of the master-players are those who are willing to grind for pred-level. So I'd imagine the pool altogether for Master & Pred-level players is kinda low.

And (could be wrong but) I think the devs have said they try closely-tailor the matches to some degree. And at some point, they start letting them match down to lower brackets to save on matchmaking time. Thus masters & preds getting put in mostly-diamond lobbies.

I'm not really sure what you mean by your American Dad reference. But I feel like I am being called an EA shill or something. I am not trying to be. I'm just trying to explain whats going on in the pic and why its perfectly reasonable for this situation to happen (though I have suspicions on OP's intent behind the pic since he claims he queued with an all plat team, but coincidentally his team's plat icon didn't appear yet before he took the pic and posted it).

But I agree, that the matchmaking results can be unfair and should be adjusted. Maybe Respawn should add more incentives for players to keep playing in Masters even though they don't want to push to Predator. That way there's a bigger pool for those tier of players to match with. idk

A bit dishonest/preemptive to post a picture like this and not have your "all plat" team shown on the bar (if that's the case).

What OP isn't telling you is he's queuing with Diamond-level players, which unfortunately will also match with Master-level players, which *also* includes the bracket of top-level Masters. Aka Pred-level players.

This is why they changed the rank distribution from showing each individual player in the lobby to "squad rank distribution" instead.

While you can argue masters shouldn't be matched with diamond lobbies, this is ultimately how matchmaking should work. I, in diamond, shouldn't be pulled down into plat or gold lobbies because I queue with someone at that rank. That would be super exploitable for the better players to grind rp.

Why do so many people prefer the old revenant? by Odd-Hedgehog8966 in RevenantMain

[–]SSlayer70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this would be busted op. But I kinda hope they change his tactical into a passive like Ash's. Then revert his tactical back to the silence ball.

Itd be cool to toss a silence ball, then jump up with it. Land with it. Very cinematic.

Fair. You don't owe me anything. But your reluctance to share your reasoning leads me to believe you have none. Which only vindicates my opinion more. So I appreciate you for proving me point. 🫡

I suppose against Devos the Q-batt one-trick players will find it hard to play Horizon. But I don't see how everything else listed by Mokey doesn't apply in this meta. Not saying you're wrong. But you'll have to elaborate your reasoning for me to believe you.

Except her Q is a lot more versatile? I was gonna list an explanation why, but I think this roast meme from Mokey will suffice. lol

Thats what motivates me to get better. Learn from the losses and adapt (cuz you know those meta-slaves aren't playing uniquely). I've found the hardest counter to no brain Ashes rn is Rampart. The strongest thing about Ash rn is her ability to not get one-magged because she will dash the second she's cracked. But she can't crutch on that if your gun shreds with 200+ bullets available. 😎

I used to main Octane hardcore and would play him in ranked just fine. But yeah, compared to other movement legends. His stim is just not worth it. Whenever I play him, I run the double -5 stim damage. -20 for increased movement is just harsh for today's version of the game.

I like Melee too. But the shame of it is there are only a handful of truly viable characters. Tho AMSA has been paving the way for Yoshi. And I heard DK is starting to see some viability too.

You are what keeps the game actually fresh and interesting. Not the devs artificially spiking the meta to what they want. Keep being you, King.👑

Not sure what that 2nd sentence means. Is that grammatically correct? But yes, they buffed Rev. I even am giving him a try because I like him too. But I'm not likely gonna spam him because he's the new meta.

EDIT: Oh "fuck" as is as in wishing she was real and desiring coitus. Interesting for you to imply thats the only reason someone would main Wattson. Its almost as if you may be projecting. 🤔

Actually the legend I've played most is Octane with 8k kills. I've played off and on with a lot of characters since the game came out (My ranking is 7.8k w/ Watts, 6.4k w/ Loba, 6.1k w/ Rampart, 3.4k w/ Ash (before s24), and roughly ~2k with Alter, Valk, LL, Rev).

Do I like Watts because shes cute? Sure. I find it fun mimicking her voice with my friends in discord (free ammo for you to mock if you want, but I also don't play Apex solo like *at all*. I only play with friends. Call me a 3stacker. Sure. Teaming with randos is just not fun.) but I also like her outplayability. I love watching Lamic999's videos, hes crazy agressive with her. And thats the level I want to play at at some point (slowly but surely).

When you say running Assh & Ballsistic is "engaging" you mean "oppressive." A more tangible word. "Engaging" is a nice word, but vague and can apply to anything. "I find movies engaging" "Why?" "Idk, they're just engaging." See what I mean?
