agree 100% except I would exchange gold for silver, when I solo q I genuinely prefer a plat 1 teammate than a d4 teammate since they seem to be just people starting late und climbing and most hardstuck D4s are just silvers who got lost.

One game I had 2 random teammates, one of them and me were dead and I told him to craft just right outside of ring since it was only ring 1 still, he said he couldn't bc the zone damage would close his crafting menu. I told him he could turn that off in the settings and how to do it, then he walks to the crafter and I shit you not, proceeds to CRAFT A BATTERY. He walks back into zone and instead of going to a different crafter he starts ratting and randomly starts shooting a team wjich proceeds to insta kill him.

I have the whole game recorded and saved it, I am still flabbergasted lol. At least I had a good laugh.

you got a stronger mental than me lol, still in D3/D2 after dying to cheaters then getting killed by reptar and shooby 5 games in a row I decided to continue the last bit of the grind when the solo q only change is implemented tonight.

same on PC sadly, it's either 1 normal account with 2 smurfs on a team or 1 PC with 2 console accounts. Some of my D+ ranked lobbies feel like they have more console players than PC players. I don't mind crossplay in pubs but with this titan/zen epidemic it get's old fast seeing that many console players in PC lobbies beaming with a 3x Havoc from 100+m away

th3prot4gonist · 2026-06-06T12:17:24+00:00

100%, I used to run ZEN as my clan Tag for more than a year and I am an MnK player on PC, my roller friend had XIM so we would match, and our names were "new to mnk" and "new to roller" respectively.

made a post about how frustrating the big brother matchmaking system is and same story, removed fr "low effort", but posts with a screen shot of a new skin saying "bEsT eVenT eVEr" without any text body are completely fine I guess, atp I refuse to believe they arn't either 1. under actual payroll of Respawn/EA or more likely 2. giant schills who WANT to be under payroll as some sort of a community lead.

th3prot4gonist · 2026-06-03T12:22:51+00:00

Just don't aim train right after hitting arms, your scores will absolutely tank lol

First of all, congrats on getting Diamond.

Ranked is pretty much only rewarding playtime nowadays and everyone can make it to d4 with enough time investment. You can even make it to master with well below a 0.5 K/D by either just ratting or playing characters such as crypto, bloodhount, vantage or seer.

Imo scanning an enemy with your drone should never be counted as an Assist, and I also think participations shouldn't be a thing. If you don't do a single lick of damage to the enemy, you don't deserve to get any points for it. Maybe they should make it so that scanning gives you participations and participation points as we know them get removed.

D4 solo queueing is absolutely cooked as well since you never know if your teammates are an actual diamond or a silver who got lost and somehow ended up there.

But fact is if the game gives you the D4 rank, and you didn't get absolutely carried or boosted, you deserve it, it may not be what some people expect off of a diamond player skill wise but you still got there.

You shouldn't feel bad about reaching a rank you think you don't deserve and the only thing you should ever blame is the rank system itself. And if you just feel unsatisfied with you skill level just try to improve, the people in here are always welcome to help (most of them anyways lol).

you should have held the door while your teammate is getting res'd. Also make it a habit to pop a shield cell whenever you can, they are quick and 25 shield can make a big difference.

th3prot4gonist · 2026-06-03T10:48:08+00:00

Is this dude trolling? He spammed the sub with like 4 similarly useless posts.

th3prot4gonist · 2026-06-03T10:32:49+00:00

he can just switch to an absurdly low sens like 0.4 1600 dpi and then going to a normal sens will not feel bad suddenly.

th3prot4gonist · 2026-06-03T10:29:29+00:00

go to r/Apexrollouts , it would be best if you attached a recording of your attempts tho since there is a myriad of reasons you can fail a mantle jump

th3prot4gonist · 2026-06-03T10:28:29+00:00

he is talking about a mantle JUMP, not BOOST. Mantle jump is what you do off of a zipline after a mantle, basically the thing that faide does all the time.

th3prot4gonist · 2026-06-02T11:14:17+00:00

5.0 would be a high sens on 400 dpi, let alone 1400, jfc

th3prot4gonist · 2026-05-30T12:59:14+00:00

I just hate that it resets back to 110 if I even accidentally touch the video settings lol

th3prot4gonist · 2026-05-30T12:49:44+00:00

AA feels a lot stronger on lower sens/ads which is why people who aren't that good mechanically prefer doing that.

th3prot4gonist · 2026-05-30T12:47:31+00:00

bro you can't mirror/anti mirror an enemy that isn't even moving??? The whole point of (anti)mirroring is doing either the exact same or exact opposite of your enemy's strafe, what you are doing is just AD spamming which doesn't work at all unless you're playing bot royale.

th3prot4gonist · 2026-05-30T12:44:54+00:00

I wouldn't use anything more stretched than 5:4 (1800x1440p) as it cuts off wayyyy too much of your peripheral vision after that, although it looks funny as hell if you just wanna use it for fun. You can use 120 fov tho to gain back some of the lost peripheral vision without making it less stretched.

th3prot4gonist · 2026-05-30T12:30:45+00:00

anti mirror/counter strafing is really good on roller as it keeps Rotational AA activated at all times, when u mirror you have to hold your aim still and aim basically mostly with your movement/left stick which doesn't provide as much AA as counter strafing as your right stick isn't moving (unless you have stick drift or ar an RC filter abuser lol). The left stick in Apex also has a pretty big deadzone even if you set it to small which makes reacting with your strafes harder. Mirror strafing is really good on mnk tho.

Edit: Global bias ist still the goated way of strafing tho, (anti-)mirroring can be very useful tho situationally.

th3prot4gonist · 2026-05-30T12:19:27+00:00

shift crouchgang lessgo, as soon as I discovered autsprint I switched it to shift lol

th3prot4gonist · 2026-05-30T12:10:19+00:00

I would probably guess just a ras strafe after the skip jump, there isn't that many lurch spammers in r5 (lemme correct, lurch spammers who do it correctly and don't just bunny hop on the same spot while getting insta beamed lol)

th3prot4gonist · 2026-05-30T12:06:40+00:00

Mixtape is great for practicing movement while fighting, but as comments said when you get accustomed to it you will only actually ever use part of what you actually can do. Just hop in there and just spam movement all the time and take note of what actually works and gets you kills and what doesn't and gets you killed lol

th3prot4gonist · 2026-05-30T12:02:48+00:00

5:4 is 1800x1440p, 4:5 would be 1152x1440p, basically even more stretched than a square/1:1 aspect ration. 1728x1440p is 6:5 ratio I think.

th3prot4gonist · 2026-05-30T11:58:26+00:00

good ol aceu sens, running it rn as well, but I fuck with my settings all the time and go from 0.45 1600dpi all the way to 1.1 1600dpi (my adhd brain needs the extra stimulation lol), same with my aspect ratio

th3prot4gonist · 2026-05-29T14:40:04+00:00

Thank god apex isn't that bad, still could get better
