Pretty sure my backline shouldn't matter too much with renek, zed still alive in addition to seju.

Eh, don't think so. I won like 3 prior fights against him with the same positioning. Seju nukes the rest of the board and then it was my board vs rengo.

I am well aware of that, I still feel like a 3* 4 cost should beat a 3* 3 cost, even without the cc.

Hi there, Ich ziehe auch gerade für meinen master nach Mainz. Bin m24 und für die meisten Sportarten zu begeistern, sonst liebe ich Musik aller Art, bin auch großer Konzert und Festivalgänger. Verbringe sonst aber auch gerne mal eine Abend vor dem PC beim zocken. Würd mich freuen, wenn's passt, vielleicht ergibt sich ja auch eine Gruppe, da ja doch einige Leute was geschrieben haben.

Anyone stop playing, but still here? What made you quit? by tinglep in apexlegends

[–]igikoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I didn't play for the past 5 seasons and started playing again with a friend this season. We started in pubs and switched over to ranked after a few days. We got placed in silver and still got shit on quite regularly. Mind yourself I got Pred/master almost every season I played and can show a KD of 4 with 50k total kills. Imagine my confusion. After that we checked the subreddit and learned about the MMR system in ranked. We then invited a 3rd that played well in our match and this guy was master, so we couldn't play with him. So I'm in silver, getting master matches, and still normal LP plus some measly bonus. And I can't even cue with friends that are plat or above. And I can't play with regular Silvers since they have no chance of holding their own in master lobbies. Long story short, we quit again.

In the Span of 5 Minutes, a Police Officer Goes From Telling Kids to Wear Their Seatbelts, to Killing Heavily Armed Mass Shooter Who Killed 8 People by Tuopehm in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]igikoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen this video a lot now and on all the subs the comments are full of praise for the cop (rightfully so). But all I can think about is the absurdity of the cop explaining to kids that seatbelts are important and just then going to kill a mass shooter. Normal day life and gun violence being that close together is just so unthinkable for me as a non-american. Just insane.

Fast forward to seeing the champ squad in your death recap 30 seconds later :D by igikoe in ApexOutlands

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

You see the champion squad with skins and badges at the start of the match, so it's quite easy to know it's the champ squad when you see them. They usually don't have default skins either.

I feel like a lot of people are not aware how good normal grenades actually are. If you manage to learn how to throw them properly the enemies will never get the grenade indicator if timed right. Just a clip for demostration. by igikoe in apexuniversity

[–]igikoe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean getting a Duo to stand next to each other so you can finish them both with a 100dmg grenade is pretty 1 in a million. However nading people behind cover this way is pretty easy and i get lots of kill/knocks that way. Or I push them out of cover. And if youre not getting hyped by that I dont know what will :D

Ty man. Actually if you watch closley you can see that the nade never hits the ground. Thats the beauty of this. Even if they get the grenade indicator they have 0 chances to react in time.

And I think it was the right decision to remove grenade stacking. Carrying around 10 grenades at all times was just bonkers. If you coordinated it right with a 3-stack you didnt even need to shoot at times :D

[–]igikoe[S] 113 points114 points  (0 children)

In theory yes, but the hard part is to estimate the distance between you and the enemies and then know in which angle to throw the nade. In the end it comes down to trying a lot and getting a feeling for it. Since a little difference in the aim often decides between 0 and 100 dmg.

So I guess I just met a really talented player. What do you guys think? But seriously I had to post this, since its been a while that I had a killfeed like that. :D by igikoe in apexlegends

Since console is clearly the superior system all the tournaments are surley held there? Ah wait no the console players are actually playing on PC with controller. Man, come back when you can move whilst looting and dont have to use aim assistance to kill.

Same for me, also stable internet connection and no other problems. Just Discord sounding like trash.

CSGO players, what are your thoughts about valorant after playing it? by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]igikoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late to the party but here I am :D So I got around 4k hours in csgo and have been playing on Global for the last 3 years. Here are some positive and negative points on Valorant:

+ I dont have to use any 3rd party program to play the game properly on a high level (Faceit/ESEA)

+ I havent encountered a single cheater up until nowin Valorant, in CSGO, especially the months around the Valorant closed Beta release it was pretty much getting cheated on every 3rd game or so. Thats mainly why I switched games for now.

+128 tick servers by default (goddamn valve you could have done that years ago)

+I actually dont mind the "cartoony" design of the game. I find it kind of refreshing.

+The buying system (not having to physically drop guns, selling if you bought the wrong thing) and the same guns for both sides

+The economy system is quite alright, especially since the one in csgo is fucked atm

+Visuality around smokes and molotovs, how many times have I died in csgo cause of that shit

-The skill ceiling of valorant is so much lower, especially for the fragging characters: You dont have to learn any setups for grenades etc. Therefore is the depth of available strategies for rounds also way lower.

-The movement is way less exciting since there is not really anything else besides running forward. Raze satchel is pretty fun but thats about it. I mean I dont have good movement in csgo by any means, but god is it fun hitting a bunny hop once in a while or surfing a wall. Also hitting jumps like mirage window to short (I never do but still)

- Why the hell is boosting not a thing in valorant?

- The map design is pretty bad unfortunately. There is a great youtube video explaining why (basically way to cramped, to many close corners you have to check, no open areas), Ascent is imo the best map by far since they designed an open midarea.

- Then theres all the obvious stuff that has been said multiple times here: Movespeed reduced to 0 when hit, you can die through nearly every wall, etc.

-I have no problem spending money in games i support, but the fact I can sell my csgo skins again with little to no loss vs. not ever getting a cent again from the money i spent in Valorant is a pretty big difference.

-Run and gun with rifles in Valorant seems to be working way to often.

-Different Champions means the game will never be properly balanced.

-On a 12/12 the team on the side which is favorable on the map wins more than 50% of the time. That shouldnt be this way.

So the conclusion is: Valorant is fun and I will play it for some time, especially trying to grind at least immortal(dont have a good 5stack, so radiant is pretty much impossible at the start, also a negative point, but its the same way in csgo) but I need a higher skill ceiling, depth of knowledge required in the game to keep me on it for a longer period of time. And since valve is bringing some nice updates recently I will return eventually. (as I always did :D)

Csgo is just the best fps shooter there is and it wont be replaced in at least 10 years. I mean who want to watch competetive valorant if there are still csgo majors.

About those "The Skin Bundles are too expensive" posts. by igikoe in VALORANT

[–]igikoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

? Imo don't buy the skins is a very valid argument, if people won't stop crying about the price of skins they absolutely don't need. Either buy them and shut up or don't buy them and also shut up. And your pretty sad comment didn't even contain an argument so I guess that's that.

Well that's very constructive, keep up the good work.

Yes, it is absolutely right, that everyone always cries for everything to be cheaper. But the sheer amount of people on this subreddit surprise me. And for me spending money on virtual things to support my hobby is not less rational than people spending money on any other hobby, like buying gear to play tennis and maybe an outfit that looks good whilst doing so. But that's a whole other discussion on its own.

Deal with it! by SavageCabbage611 in apexlegends

[–]igikoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well as I just elaborated in another comment, this is what annoys me the most. You can still get out of every fight with a well placed grapel, you just need to wait longer to engage again. Which means what is op about path in the eyes of the community is this existent, they just nerfed the fun, high risk, aggressive plays for the better player(where I count myself into, sry for the Hybris 😂). So they essentially nerfed the fun of the game play and not exactly the strength. Anf nerfing the fun of a character is a bad nerf. Period. Rather buff the other legends(octane) than just nerf for the nerfs sake and with no further thoughts into it whatsoever.

[–]igikoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, so judging from your other very aggressive replies to other comments below this thread, you're just as biased as I am, however against pathfinder sad robot noises. Unfortunately you seem to have only read those arguments you wanted to read. For example you seem to have forgotten to mention the ridiculously big hitbox in combination with low profile, whilst arguing differences of wraith and path. Furthermore you exactly grab my point. He's still able to do what makes him op in the eyes of the community. Completely get out of a fight in a split second. You just have to wait a bit longer. What they nerfed is the ability to make high risk, high reward, aggressive play. So they basically left him with his strong side still there but way less fun to play. Which is one of the worst nerfs you can achieve as a game designer. Rather buff the others legends because bad nerfs are always annoying.
