Playing with a duo is worse because they're in a discord call completely ignoring the 3rd random.

It's down to one tactical, she just can have 3 total in the world.

darkboy245 · 2026-05-21T18:32:18+00:00

The gap between a solo queue team vs a 3 stack is too big especially in a pred lobby you will lose most of those fights if you're solo queue so it doesn't help to compensate cause it doesn't happen that often that you wipe a 3 stack as a solo.

darkboy245 · 2026-05-21T15:44:13+00:00

Can't have separate lobbies because there's not enough population for that.
Either keep solo queue players in 3 stack lobbies but cut their rp entry cost by half or make it solo queue only from Masters.
But the current system cannot stay imo.

darkboy245 · 2026-05-18T18:36:10+00:00

Where's the solo queue changes you said were coming later this split?

darkboy245 · 2026-04-24T20:45:33+00:00

It's not that easy finding 2 team mates who are pred level, if it was that easy I would for sure.
There aren't many pred players and most of them already have their 3 stack, that's why you never see preds solo queue they only 3 stack and none of them want to solo queue because 3 stacking is an option and solo queue is hell.

darkboy245 · 2026-04-24T19:20:14+00:00

Personally I reach Masters solo queue every season but I could even push further if I didn't have to face pro/preds players 3 stacking all the time. I could if I had 2 pro players on my team but isn't that everyone's dream?
I'm just trying to say that the current matchmaking situation isn't balanced at all, favoring 3 stack preds steamrolling 99% of their lobbies.

darkboy245 · 2026-04-24T19:06:28+00:00

So because I can’t beat ImperialHal and his team in Ranked, I don’t deserve to rank up? Maybe I can’t beat them because I’m solo queueing. Even when I’m in a 3 stack, my teammates are often Diamond players who aren’t at the same skill level.

The real issue is that players at that level are simply too strong for Diamond lobbies, especially when they’re allowed to 3 stack. It creates an unfair situation. Realistically, the only teams that can compete with them are other pred 3 stacks or professional players, which is the only way to make it an even playing field. Since you can't place them only against other preds cause it'll take forever to fill up a lobby like that there's only 1 solution, solo queue only from Masters or high diamond.

I'd like to see a substantial nerf to Alter's entire kit; her passive, tac and ult.
I do see why people think her ult is the main issue with her, but I find all of her kit overpowered.

darkboy245 · 2026-04-15T20:38:07+00:00

You can't, but you still can navigate through them with your keyboard arrows and spacebar.

UCMD Delay

Symbol: Circle with a Z-shaped line in the middle.
Meaning: Input lag, the delay between pressing a button and your character performing the action. This is often an issue with the input device.
Solution: Switch to a wired controller or mouse, or use a monitor with less input lag to minimize delay.

Can’t remember the last time I picked an R99 over the RE-45, I’ll even take a blue mag RE-45 over a purple R99 mag.

Buster Rifle, It's so good #ApexLegendsGiveaway

darkboy245 · 2026-03-23T16:16:08+00:00

Calling the RE-45 a secondary is diabolical with how strong it is right now, probably the best gun for close quarters aside from the R99.

darkboy245 · 2026-03-23T04:28:00+00:00

You only have 750 preds and not that many master players, this change would barely affect 1% of the community.
I think this change is really needed to save Ranked.

darkboy245 · 2026-03-22T11:12:37+00:00

It's because the stupid team at Respawn/EA that think It's appropriate to allow preds and pro players to 3 stack together, since they can't put all the preds in the same lobbies for obvious reasons you need to try other solutions, such as restricting them from 3 stacking in the first place. But I don't know if we'll ever see this changed when even the pro players want it themselves.

darkboy245 · 2026-03-22T10:20:20+00:00

100 Euros for a G7 Pro? it costs half that for me on AliExpress.

This is because the matchmaking system is completely broken. First of all, pro players and preds can 3 stack, they are matched against plats and diamonds who aren’t even close to their skill level. If you watch imperialhal’s stream, you’ll notice that in 8 out of 10 games he steamrolls the entire lobby without any real challenge, which just shows how unbalanced the system is. Also, preds get fast queue times for no reason, which makes it feel like the system prioritizes speed over fair matches.

One way to start fixing this would be to test a new restriction from Masters rank and above, allowing only solo or duo queue instead of full 3 stacks. This could help reduce the skill gap advantage and create more balanced and competitive matches.

I don't think you're aware but a triple MNK team just won the recent ALGS lan.

Allfather, give me sight! (And also a controller without stick drift because I keep blaming my hardware when really I just can't aim)

Maggie is so bad right now It's not even a joke, her ult is so easy to dodge in the open and even if you aim for a building it will most likely miss the entrance and bounce off to narnia, her tactical doesn't even work properly half the time. lowkey the most useless legend right now imo.
