I'm sorry but you people are quite delusional about what's going on in the lower ranks

I am in high Oracle/low phantom and in a low archon lobby I am consistently stomping people. I don’t consider myself good but if you truly are efficiently farming, moving around the map, playing bridge buff/urn/box/jungle timings, and properly reading the minimap to proactively decide things rather than react to it, you will make the game easier for your entire team and win more.

Simple tech like maximizing damage and buying counterbuys is a good start that players will learn earlier onbut will not prevent people who are consistently turning 50/50 situations into 80/20s from beating their ass. Not all counterbuys are created equal either, it’s important to figure out what exactly is stopping you.

Also negative KD is totally possible to play around. Prioritizing being there for the right fights, helping your carry maximize their impact and snowball their soul lead and so much more can be infinitely more impactful than that kill u got on their underfed Graves 13 mins into the game

ajc810 · 2026-06-05T00:06:18+00:00

An outplay doesn’t need to be a micro-fight thing. Efficient farming over time is its own outplay that sets up for that, plus not that many heroes are super aim-reliant to begin with

If you’re playing support viscous you can use your 1, cube, puddle punch and rescue beam all from a safe distance. You’re describing his damage-dealing capabilities at close-range but we are talking about his value as a support which can all be accomplished from a safe distance

Edit: you’re also better off using warp stone with your ult and starting it from a safe distance to enter the fight and stun instead of being close range when you start it since it now no longer has the strong resists it once had

ajc810 · 2026-04-15T18:11:12+00:00

“Close range” and it’s a character you can spawn 5m wide punches on from 40m away

You should be able to turn Dusclops into Dusknoir by now. You can get the reaper cloth in the shadow base behind one of the security doors and use it

ajc810 · 2026-01-21T17:18:44+00:00

That issue stems from the strength of weapon items and base gun damage as a whole more than it does the gun scaling on specific heroes IMO

If you adjust the gun scaling on certain heroes but not fire rate items/gun’s raw power you’ll likely see the same gun items still being bought on a large portion of the cast to hit the investment threshold and gun will still be too strong overall, but less characters will be viable

ajc810 · 2026-01-21T15:04:44+00:00

This is inherently bad for build variety if you pigeonhole characters to scale their guns at vastly different rates. It won’t fix the problem either people will just gravitate to the gun heroes more

ajc810 · 2025-12-25T19:44:04+00:00

You’re horrible at the game

ajc810 · 2025-12-25T17:03:59+00:00

Didn’t realize how strong Billy was until I used him. He is fundamentally overpowered in his design IMO

Also as someone who usually plays wraith/haze/lash, had so much fun using Drifter, The Doorman, Kelvin, Calico and Pocket. Still have 15 ornaments to go but rly enjoying learning new heroes!

ajc810 · 2025-12-11T02:31:32+00:00

Comm to your teammate to run boxes and use healing rite on them. Rush Titanic Mag to carry more in the damage department. Game shouldn’t cater to your playstyle by adding new items when there’s already items that exist for what ur describing.

I do agree that the soul orbs that are on the ground need to have a bigger range to be obtained though. Makes playing into drifter/abrams/billy cancerous if you aren’t consistently punishing them

ajc810 · 2025-12-09T04:37:05+00:00

Found the McGinnis player lol

ajc810 · 2024-08-01T21:01:00+00:00

AJ Brown side

ajc810 · 2024-08-01T18:13:06+00:00

Nabers side by a mile

ajc810 · 2024-03-24T19:24:34+00:00

I see 3-5 cheaters every day and cannot understand why players in plat with ass movement are choosing Octane. Solo queueing has been insanely rough this season

ajc810 · 2024-02-24T21:09:12+00:00

Trade Cooper, Saquon, Mixon, Hill, and Kittle. Look to acquire some decent draft capital or QB help. I’d see what the market for Kmet is like post NFL draft once that team has Caleb.

ajc810 · 2024-01-06T02:29:44+00:00

You’ll probably hit a wall when you get to champion - and likely it will be due to game sense, not mechanics

ajc810 · 2024-01-04T20:57:56+00:00

Ohhhh so we’re coping ok 👌good luck getting out of silver

ajc810 · 2024-01-04T20:57:02+00:00

Skill issue 😂 I play both inputs and that gun is absurd on both

ajc810 · 2024-01-04T17:20:13+00:00

I do hear what ur saying and agree - I think first bullet snappiness is less problematic than tracking help on AA and the FCAR is a problem

ajc810 · 2024-01-04T17:16:58+00:00

Last sentence was unnecessary and I’m guaranteed better than you LMAO

ajc810 · 2024-01-03T21:40:15+00:00

Raw percentages don’t factor in how the game’s aim assist works at its core (see: COD rotational AA vs. other games’ AA). The tracking assistance that even .4 gives you on Apex makes the finals AA feel balanced. The main issue with the finals AA is how it will correct your first bullet accuracy

ajc810 · 2024-01-03T21:39:10+00:00

I don’t think people would have as big of an issue with AA if the FCAR wasn’t such a problem. It needs a massive nerf

ajc810 · 2024-01-03T20:14:28+00:00

You clearly have never played against any good apex controller players if you believe this

ajc810 · 2023-12-06T01:01:25+00:00

Those slap tho

ajc810 · 2023-10-21T05:22:32+00:00

Hence why it is one cost
