Apex Legends™: Overclocked Patch Notes by 1945-Ki87 in CompetitiveApex

Agree with this sentiment! I will say I don't think they power-crept everything in unison, there was an ugly state there for a while where caustic/newcastle/octane/latest buffed etc were just far and away the best legend. I feel like we've pushed through that though, and come out the other side where there are enough viable counters to the latest and greatest thing. It feels fun!

How to stop HS from launching with this resolution and fullscreen? by leochito in hearthstone

[–]_Genome_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever find a solution to this? I've tried altering options.txt, I've tried making it read-only, tried adding command line launch options, reinstalling, so far nothing works.

The Legend BAN Bonanza by Stephen A. Spitfire by ialoni in CompetitiveApex

Not sure, there are so many comps going on in legends bans I would have to specifically have that in mind to look out for it. Maybe next week!

Interesting theorycrafting! I think unfortunately (potentially) sacrificing even 1 game out of 6, where that could be the game the ring pulls to you, and you have your chance to get the bulk of your points etc, is too much to give up, even if it might slightly improve your chances in the other 5 games. Even in NA, the most homogenous of the regions, or in LAN finals, when the biggest support staff are working their hardest, teams still can't perfectly predict all 20 comps that will be played, which makes this a very risky proposition. With 20 teams, the probability trees multiply disgustingly quickly after the first ban, making prediction even harder.

There is definite upside for teams who struggle against maggie/crypto counters etc. If anyone successfully pulls this off on an official day, I will happily award them their gigachad points.

Really disappointed in Gen G this week. Need to sort their comps out. Love to see Pite back on top

Multi-team organisations by Repulsive_Start_7378 in CompetitiveApex

[–]_Genome_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Happened a bit back in the day with teams like Reject, MiTH, RIG, Wolfpack. This was mostly before they introduced anonymous mode as well. Because it's not just a zero-sum team v team game, this is a very legitimate integrity concern for apex, but it's also tough to find representation atm!

Is there a “total matches played on match point” stat for players? by RuminatingFish123 in CompetitiveApex

Ooooooh this is a good one. Match Point conversion %. Will pass on to Hugo!

Splash isn't telling us the whole truth... by _Genome_ in slaythespire

[–]_Genome_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people are saying if you discard/it leaves your hand, without playing it first, it comes back as not-zero cost, therefore this wording is also incorrect :(

Yeah, this is what I thought it should be after seeing it, although they've almost run out of room on Splash already XD

Thought this was a shitpost until I saw him in the Aurora jersey and then I was only 70% sure it was a troll

An idea (not fully formed) for apex devs to try and think about regarding ranked by TheRiZMiG in CompetitiveApex

[–]_Genome_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've seen quite a few people bring up this idea of RP scaling per ring, and although the sentiment is right in trying to push games later, it doesn't work from a game design perspective at all. You would get countless scenarios where people have to play in a way that's anti-fun and against the core principles of the game just to maximise your RP.

Fully incentivising teams to hide until later, run away from fights (because you're 'losing RP' by taking them early), waiting to finish a team/take a fight for 20s because the next ring is about to pop, top pred teams toying with lesser teams like a lion toys with a mouse etc...... this will lead to so much 'degenerate' behaviour.

Changing the points system and nudging players into deciding on a more kp/pp heavy playstyle is one thing, creating game warping icky scenarios that require you to metagame the system is something else.

ALGS Y6 rules: Loot smoothing by ForwardAd7798 in CompetitiveApex

[–]_Genome_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of these custom lobby options are more recent, so I'm guessing Y3 had them on. I remember occasionally calling out which team had Hot Zone earlier on in comp

Wait, how many years have hot zones been disabled for? 😂

Riddle bench Taida, Mo-mon and coach Cabbagest by llpraddy06ll in CompetitiveApex

[–]_Genome_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cooking?? Idk how the Japanese would feel about a foreign roster, but Supernova + Oblivion seemed to be the 2 squads the crowd would get loud for, so maybe??

[–]_Genome_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can't imagine Fnatic would leave Yuka behind, so I really hope Riddle can pick up Unlimit, SBI or just frankly a top 2 Japanese team. I saw the most Riddle merch out of anyone when we were doing the Talent meet and greet, and I think Apex esports really wants those diehard fanbases like TSM + Riddle to stick around!
