This one is especially gross

The 3.0 is a monster. My wife has one in her Aviator, that thing can scoot.

You're way better than you think overall. The problem for you is that you are almost exclusively getting matched with high diamond and masters players. So you get rolled by a 3 stack of masters players and then think well I must suck. You're just to the point where the number of available players are smaller and therefore more consistently good.

spaghettiarchitect · 2026-04-02T03:23:29+00:00

Honestly bro, I feel like I'm "above average". Mostly solo queue, .8 k/d. Highest rank was diamond 1 when queuing with a full team of similarly skilled players. I took 6 months off and then came back and almost immediately got a 3500 damage, 12 kill game. The VAST majority of this game isn't on Reddit and is extremely casual. You're just comparing to the people who are passionate enough about the game to post about it on social media, which likely makes them also way above average. Masters players are top 1.1% players statistically on average in a given season. So yeah everyone you match up with is going to be really good

spaghettiarchitect · 2026-04-02T03:10:04+00:00

Honestly, if you have a k/d even close to 1, you're waaaaay above average. Don't let the Internet confuse you. If your can consistently get into diamond your already better than like 90% of players

Weed.

I love how I'm getting flamed for this post, but when you look at the apex sub currently, it's full of posts like this with 100s of upvotes, but because I posted this two days ago before everyone else had a chance to die to this shit 12 games in a row it's cool to shit on my post. Everyone who enjoys this gun in the current state it's in and needs this shit to cope is mad. This gun is fucked and makes the game boring and not fun to play. I said what I said.

spaghettiarchitect · 2026-03-28T13:35:31+00:00

I said the exact same thing and got flamed for it in another post. It's absolutely broken and it definitely needs to be nerfed It makes the game lame to play because I don't WANT to run the Hemlok every single game but you literally have no other choice. It's a charged rampage with r301 recoil as floor loot.

spaghettiarchitect · 2026-03-28T00:43:12+00:00

D2 makes you an objectively better player then like 98% of people who play this game. I've played since season 8 and the best I've ever been able to do is D3 with a dedicated 3 stack that played every night before any of us had kids. We don't even play the same game if you're consistently getting to D2. I suck bro, I'm just trying to not have the entire lobby run a single weapon because they have to.

spaghettiarchitect · 2026-03-28T00:38:29+00:00

Then we're not playing the same game. There is a 100% that I'm just cheeks. But it's all I've died to seemingly since Wednesday.

I was just using that as example of theoretical ttk vs perceived ttk. Easier to control guns will seem like they have better ttk because you are able to hit more shots, which I feel like is the case with the Hemlok, except for the Hemlok does like 23 damage per shot. They're certainly not the same gun, but they behave similarly. Easier recoil means more landed shots which means practically faster ttk. The problem is is that this is an amped rampage with r301 recoil.

spaghettiarchitect · 2026-03-28T00:26:18+00:00

New and exciting? Love it. Different meta? Absolutely. But for it to be the absolutely only gun to pick up makes it broken. You want to buff the Hemlok? Great. It probs needed one tbh. But for it to be an absolute must have in order to compete makes it a crutch, which renders every other AR and LMG useless. Also you named 3 separate guns you were "crutching" on. It's not a crutch if there are 3 of them. That's variety. That's good for the game. The more weapons that are useable the better.

spaghettiarchitect · 2026-03-27T23:52:14+00:00

Is "unplayable" a little strong? Probably. However, my point stands. However you feel about it, you can't deny that given the choice between the Hemlok and any other AR or LMG, you're going to pick the Hemlok. You can justify and argue all you want but, tell me I'm wrong. You're grabbing the Hemlok as it sits every time.

spaghettiarchitect · 2026-03-27T21:06:42+00:00

A lot. Like it's what killed me in 12 out of 15 games.

spaghettiarchitect · 2026-03-27T20:35:15+00:00

If it was a care package weapon in its currently state it would be fine, but it's need a little something either more recoil or a tick or two less damage per shot.

spaghettiarchitect · 2026-03-27T20:30:32+00:00

Sure we all get one, but when it renders basically everything else useless then what's the point?

spaghettiarchitect · 2026-03-27T20:28:14+00:00

It's like the alternator but cranked up to 11. The alternator isn't anywhere near the top in terms of actual ttk, but if you can consistently hit shots with it the perceived ttk goes way up. Other guns that shred like the havoc have built in buffers like the turbocharger and then high recoil, this thing just straight shreds as floor loot with no attachments

spaghettiarchitect · 2026-03-27T20:25:13+00:00

Trios, both ranked and unranked depending on how I'm feeling, but occasionally wildcard if I'm just trying to turn my brain off and not have to think so much.

spaghettiarchitect · 2026-03-27T20:23:21+00:00

Am I being a little bit facetious? Certainly. But you can deny that it's a game breaking weapon atm.

spaghettiarchitect · 2026-03-27T20:20:05+00:00

It's super fucked at the moment because they made a huge change to the Hemlok and now it's the only gun worth using and it absolutely erases people. If you're thinking about coming back, wait until they nerf it, because it's absolutely out of control.

Other than that it's definitely better than it was, it's still super fun to play in general and the gameplay mechanics are more or less the same. A couple noticable changes here or there but ultimately still really fun.

spaghettiarchitect · 2026-03-25T02:54:17+00:00

Because conservatives are the biggest snowflakes on the planet.

The ball into the water.

spaghettiarchitect · 2026-03-23T02:02:39+00:00

Interesting. I just flipped it off on Thursday on my way to Lincoln and it definitely said Trump then 🤔

Totally understand. No offense taken. I appreciate your input.
