this game is terrible. don't play it.

>Chronus and maybe all other strike packs out of commission
Apex is healing edition.

>low GM hitscan/Ana player in OW1 and 2
>1.85 KD on R6S
>try Apex
>losing literally every single gunfight
>getting turbo cancer raped by people strafing left and right in fights
Idgi, this never was a problem for me in overwatch, especially since the heros in that game don't even have to build momentum to strafe and have no friction, but my enemies strafing in place just breaks my ankles in this game.
I know I only have like 2 hours in this game but DAMN man...

>>1809975
switch to playing ranked as soon as you unlock it
matchmaking in ranked is slightly better/easier than pubs desu

>>1809975
You're probably picked up by the EOMM system as decent mechanically and you therefore get negative hitreg and magicbullet bullshit against you.
The majority of people you're fighting are playing on controller with aim assist, they don't have to worry about strafing in any particular way to keep aiming while keeping 50% accuracy.
Visually OW is easy to track, Apex is difficult so you require some built in pre-knowledge of what people will be doing (I know it's retarded) to keep track of them at all.

Just know that taking high ground and headglitching is essential.
Cover is also really important, you're in a bad season now where everyone is playing OP Ash which totally negates any normal way of playing Apex so really it's hard to give any advice on how to play right now.
I'm not even playing this season, nothings left except retarded controller aim assist aping and whitelisted retards.

australians once again dominating american pro league

>>1809884
Source?

>>1809975
Pro tip: burst fire

So many guns in this game feel pinpoint accurate even while hipfiring, but only for the first 5-7 shots.
It also helps you actually see your target through the massive muzzle flash, fat yellow bullets, red lightning cloud of shield being broken, etc. etc.

And yes I am hardstuck in Apex because I'm at the exact skill rating where people start being able to kill in one mag because I can't hit shit when full autoing.

>>1810020
>le bullets get smaller if the game thinks youre outmatched
This generation is cooked, letting youtube ragebait influence their worldview

>>1810128
Never heard it on youtube.
I know it from personal experience and the ability to notice.

>>1808502
I think the 1/2 is referring to the trail, and you need like a certain amount of reaching ladder champion during the weekend ranked ladder thingy to get it?

This new battle pass system sucks so bad
>here's less rewards BUT if you pay us $20 extra you get an exclusive bag of shit
>reskins the same badges and reactive skin twice
>less rewards overall for people not retarded enough to drop $20 every month

absolutely no fun playing this game anymore. completely joyless and miserable 100% of the time

>>1810567
You get more items per split than an entire season of the old system, plus you complete it in 50% less time. It's objectively an improvement.

>>1810128

Based noooooticer
The counter to the eomm peashooter effect is mobility and a shotgun and it feels so cheap - Ash dash or path with double grapple and unloading in someones face then bouncing away to heal, rinse and repeat.
>cos fuck strategy, you vill use the OP characters and you vill like it

>>1810090
It was actually temporarily disabled by the anti cheat but there's already a workaround. Tbh I don't think competitive games will ever solve the cheating issue unless it's a game where any cheat is obvious such as Rocket League for example (and even then I don't think we're ready for AI powered cheats).

>>1810567
imo the entire cosmetic and U.I is a terrible in this game.
I have no clue how the new battle passes work and don't care to figure it out. There's never anything I want in the shop, which is also a total mess. Also now for no reason there's like 6-7 different screens with stats showing after you died.
It's just a mess.

>>1811098
I was asking for a source.

>game servers were down for like 4 hours
>nobody noticed

>>1811732
This thread is basically dead, and I haven't played in several weeks.
I have just watched ALGS and that was it.

i think i hate this game more than i've ever hated any game.
it's a hatred born of wasted potential, and the disgusting, dirty feeling you constantly get that you've been selected as fodder for some unemployed streamer's clip channel

We nightreiggnin

We rematchin

Im waiting for the split

Reminder to mirror strafe to dunk on controllertards and ad spamming shitters!

>>1814644
What particular advantage does she have in mixtape of all things?

>>1810004
i'll try but my friends are usually averse to ranked type gamemodes...
>>1810020
>Visually OW is easy to track
Yeah, double dinking the tracer as Mccree was never too hard for me. but trying to Track the meth'd up Octane strafing that's taking up a third of my screen since i'm ADS'd is a pain.
>>1810127
I've taken the wrong portion of advice from this post and just started hipfiring for half my CQC engagements and that shit works.
are you supposed to be hipfiring in CQC in this game?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv1BmQvJrfM
wait this game is so fucking sick wtf, i've just been grappling walls I didn't know this shit was possible.

>>1815096
>are you supposed to be hipfiring in CQC in this game?
No you're supposed to tap into ADS like every 5 shots.
So you're quickscoping and hipfiring at the same time in a way.

>>1815096
>i'll try but my friends are usually averse to ranked type gamemodes...
Oh that's fine. Honestly, in Apex pubs feel way sweatier than ranked.
The matchmaking is completely wack and it's full of hotdropping shits who leave the game at the drop of a hat (since there's no leaver penalty on pubs).

So basically just treat Ranked like it were the regular casual mode, don't care too much about ranked points and everything will be fine.

In control, all they do is backcap with ult and no one ever knows to find it and shoot it out. No one knows what the void nexus activating pop up means.

>Increase fence node HP to 50 (was 25)
Bleh, kinda sucks how that makes punching nodes a lot riskier

wattbros rise up

Doesn't matter though, still playing Ash's game with her boyfriend Ballistic and their maid alter.

another split with devotion shitters, yay.

Do they still derank you for split or what do they do now

and another split with shitty worlds edge too. a 1v1 with more awfully monetized skins with no way to buy with mats isn't gonna make this game any better.

>>1815704
soft derank. you only get reset to rank 4 of your current tier, with the exception of master and predator

>decent
Extremely good.

why is it, with 30ms ping, I see myself dying on death cam a full second before I actually died while playing

>>1821343
Because of the horrendous servers.

>>1821462
Not the servers, it's the lag compensation code.

>>1821007
game cant determine if a 3 stack is you and your two retard casual buddies, or a ttv and his mandatory unemployed backup, so it gives you a yuge MMR boost

>faggots try saying ranked is too easy and ranks are inflated
I swear its diamond stuck shitters crying the loudest. Also why do normal games feel way easier after grinding ranked? I slaughter lobbies effortlessly but in ranked i'm struggling to keep up.

>>1823982
but thats true, im a bad player with 0,9 k/d and 500 avg damage and i used to always be hardstuck at plat 4 but ever since they made the rp costs cheaper i think 3 seasons ago i've became hardstuck diamond 4

difference now is that im eligible to become fodder for the 3 stack preds

>>1823825
>game cant determine if a 3 stack is you and your two retard casual buddies,
I feel like the game should know we are this given we have literally lost 40+ games in a row and got to top 3 maybe twice.
but we are STILL in ultra hard lobbies.
I don't like this stack matchmaking system...

>>1824089
The RP entries are fine. The problem is retards getting credit for kills they never helped with.

crazy how players who beam you instantly turn into fucking retarded bots the moment you start spectating them

i love playing for 20 minutes seeing absolutely nobody only to get raped by an aimbotting and wallhacking trio as the final 2 parties
brilliant game EA !!!

>>1824184
matchmaking in pubs is completely cooked, ranked is the only mode even slightly worth playing

good game

Im going to pick watson just to fuck with faggots that spent money for her mythic skin

i genuinely can't think of anything more retarded than changing the request ping to automatically pinging arsenals

>No way to report walling faggots in 1v1 arenas

I'm making a goal to break 2.0 kd in this game with MnK. Downloading Aim labs when I get home. I didn't realize pros play at such insanely low DPIs and mouse sensitivites though (800dpi 1.0 sensitivity)

I normally play at 1600 dpi 5.03 sensitivity and I feel snappy as fuck but cant track a target for shit. Lowering it to 3.0 to see how that feels. Any advice for me anons?

>>1826483
Get a some hours under aim labs until your confident in your aim and then play the control, arenas, deathmatch, etc, with the focus only on your aim. Don't care about winning or losing.

Does this game have recoil patterns like in Counter-Strike or is it just random?

So tired of being matched with nothing but fucking stupid duos. Doesn't matter if you try to follow their lead they'll leave you to die as if they won't immediately get stomped when surprise surprise, the power of gay butt sex cant win 2v3's. Then they have the gall to get mad when you don't take a stupid fight with them. Going to craft the banners of tweedle dee and tweedle dum while the'yre crying about how you didn't go in and die with them.

>>1826815
There is recoil but it isnt as strong as it is in CS

>>1826848
That's not an answer to my question.

>>1826849
ok retard

>>1826815
Yes there are patterns

>>1826815
Yeah all guns have patterns except for flatline

why does wattson get so good passives that shes like a B-tier character without using her abilities at all

Ooh, I get it. I was supposed to lose that match. I have been on both sides of the one sided matches and it's really not fun.

>playing meme game modes and not just the BR mode
Faggot lol

Anyone else try the duels mode? Took a couple minutes to get a game last night. I think it's better than the ones I have seen hosted on R5reloaded because they seem to only like dueling with r9 and wingmeme. But for once they stole a decent game mode from the community and did it right.

>>1826326
holy shit they even replaced the "I need a weapon" one with O HAY ARSENAL DER DURR
which feels like a completely different level of urgency

This game has immensely fueled my hatred of humanity

Wait my nigga Reps left TSM? And Falcons is failing? And ALGS had some new champions? What else have I missed? Is controller still meta? Is Dooplex still active?

Yeah, i'm on like hour 30 and i'm still getting into lobbies with people with 5+ million damage and 30k+ kills when I am account level fucking 26.
it's suffering being a new player in this game.

>>1828588
thats because you're a poor loser without the p2w ironsight skin

pls no more monument

How the fuck does the game determine the character it autopicks when the character you pre-selected gets taken?
Always seems to be Bloodhound for me, but I never want to play fucking Bloodhound.

>>1828753
It's whatever character you have the most playtime with

>>1828753
it used to be most games not sure if it still is

>>1828765
>>1828766
doubt it, considering it's the character I play least

>>1828773
Did you used to play Bloodhound a lot and now switch between legends?

are they seriously moving today?

what's the point of changing legends in solo arenas if you can't use any of thier abilities?

>>1828837
apparently it's sorted by amount of kills, not games played

>>1828753
most kills

>>1829206
SEXO

>>1809975
Probably because both games you mentioned aren't even FPS except maybe siege but thats a TTK thats low as fuck.

>>1829206
if they just threw her in some thongs the player count would spike

>>1830092
that's not the only thing that would spike

Duels are just dice rolls on whether or not you get roller-favored weapons and close distance fights. Absolutely minimal skill invovled

>>1828867
they're enabling abilities later

>>1828695
I have like 30 hours in the fucking game, bro. I don't even know what the "p2w" skins would be.
speaking of buying shit.
I go to purchase the 20 dollar apex coins pack with the bonus 1000 then when I click on it it reverts to the normal package of +150 in both the shop and the steam store.
is this a scam or do I just buy the battle pass + so I can play new legends?

>>1831287
Apex is a scam.
> so I can play new legends?
God it must suck so much to be a new player, having to unlock every hero.

>>1831322
Yeah, I made a giant mistake getting Loba as my first paid legend.
ASTRONOMICALLY boring character and kit.
at least I can try everyone for free in bot royale. though the AI is REALLY fucking bad.
i'm eyeballing Revenant or Crypto but my friends fucking hate Crypto and call him useless.

>>1831351
Sparrow is literally crypto with a double jump if youre a metafag. Hes fun though when you are able to get uses out of his drone especially now that he goes invisible using it.

>>1831351
>my friends fucking hate Crypto and call him useless
it's probably because it's easy to blame Crypto for losing a team-fight if he happened to be manually flying his drone at the time
people love a good scapegoat/blaming others

that said, it does feel kinda shit having a dude who sometimes can't shoot while using his kit

>>1831375
I have had Cryptos call to push and use their ult, and then just stay in drone afterwards like their job is done

>>1831351
Spend more time in the firing range trying these things out. get your friends to warm up with them and try out the kits against live targets. Loba is boring, but at least she has movement. The name of the game is being able to close the distance when you crack or get a knock. Crypto doesn't fit in this game because his kit makes him sit in one spot while everyone else does the action. They have the technology to make the drone follow you or move without logging on to the steam deck, but that would require the devs to care.
remember that time is a resource. it takes just a few seconds to fully reset now, so the most nimble toons are the best.

>>1828591

>>1832756
It'd be a shitty ult if it had less hp

>>1831351
Loba is very powerful when bats or energy ammo are hard to collect.
She also had the top a to b speed across the map.

On TSM, it looks like. Just tuned into an iiTzWhitelistLobby while he's scrumming (and spectating. lol), and I saw Doop in a list somewhere. Probably not playing Gibby, but hopefully also not playing Crypto either.
>he's a CRYPTO MAIN
was the best drunken rant to come out of Apex streamer drama. I hope that Dooplex is still living his best life.

why is this game so awful?

I was wondering why the fuck I was suddenly getting away with absurd mid-gunfight cloaks;
apparently they fixed the shaders so you don't see those stupid floating bars anymore

>>1833757
Because you don't have any friends to play with

>>1833800
Last split around high-platinum there was a two day streak where I was consistently matched with teammates who actually did more than 1/5th of my damage per game and it was a completely different experience. For the first time in ranked it actually felt like my performance was at all rewarded

>put my Mirage clone down at a ledge, aiming down sights with a sniper rifle

I'm in diamond right now with a 2.5 K/D but ran into the wall where I'm solo-q'ing and getting instantly deleted by coordinated three stacks and it makes me feel like such a shitter.

>>1834967
>Also how is everyone so good at using the Devo when I'm struggling so much with the wind-up pacing and recoil lol.
You are now in controller lobbies, no recoil on rollers when aim assist is active.

>>1838043
>>1839561
>>1839642
I don't know the extent of what the whitelist entails, but it seems like the enemies are at a much lower skill level than he is. You rarely see him roll up against a three stack. When he does, the ankleweights go down first, and somehow he cleans up. At tournaments and scrims, usually he gets steamrolled. This just doesn't add up when you put him beside someone like Wattson. I think conversely he was shit talking the game and refused to buy a couple of events before his short hiatus recently, and his enemies suddenly seemed a lot more coordinated.
Can't speak for Faide and others, but I'm sure you'll see similar patterns. There's guys who are cracked but never go compete. Makes me wonder why?
Maybe it's allll coincidence and I'm suffering selection bias, but how many grains make a pile?
>>1838046
I can't find it anymore. He went on this rant at an ALGS after party a few years back where everyone was smashed. There was literally one guy who brought Crypto to the tourney and they did alright, but he was doing a bit of ribbing because the kit is basically useless unlike Gibby.
Maybe he had it pulled because it was embarrassing (which is exactly the reason why it ought to be on the internet still).

>>1840296
the list of teammates zer0 has had and the list of teammates zer0 has won a LAN with are basically the same. if you want to win, you want to play with him
though >>1738046 put it in a more amusing way

>>1840304
Whitelisted used to mean much easier lobbies.
But it's changed, it now manipulates hitreg, magicbullet variable etc instead.
If two whitelisted players meet they are at equal footing so whoever plays better comes up on top.
If you come up against a whitelisted player you will have bad hitreg on them and they will have amazing hitreg on you.
If it's your turn to win and you're not whitelisted it usually means there will be no whitelisted people in the lobby and your hitreg and magicbullet variable is cranked up a bit, you basically become whitelisted for like one game.

Is there still no one to play this game with?

Third time today somebody's console friend teammate ended a match with 0 damage after several rounds and several fights

>>1840349
Before this general moved over to /vm/ this was being discussed a lot. I ended up quitting for a whole split because I would get no regs and frame drops suddenly when a fight starts despite my hardware being able to handle the game fine previously. A couple games later it would be fine with no stutters. One game I'd pick up the dirty thirty and hit targets from 200m away that I had no business landing, other games I can't hit a stationary target at 100m. My smg hipfire bullets would bend around a gibby or pathfinder in a duel (and move as fast as nerf darts), other times they feel really crispy and connect.
I haven't put money into the game in a while and only jam mix tape. Did some ranked at the end of last split and got to play in the timmy pool for a bit which was fun--and this is another conversation--but the responsiveness is totally different in BR compared to mixtape.
All in all, I'm post-caring with this game. Was holding out for the Watto mythic (pic unrelated) and it sucks. Saved up my goy coins and crafting metals just to be rugpulled by the "milsetone" gatcha box thing. Had enough to do the trick where you craft the epics and then buy the legendary with coins. Silver lining is that the theme sucks.
tl;dr, Not a great idea to play a game just for the paid cosmetics, especially when EA is involved.The only metric should be about how much fun you're having.

please let the broken moon fix come soon, fuck worlds edge

>they still haven't fixed the Bloodhound ping issue from months ago

>>1840854
i've noticed a massive uptick in console teammates in the last few seasons for some reason. i think while the PC playerbase is slowly decaying the console base is stable, so the cross-platform duos and trios are more prevalent

>>1840967
wait, the tree geometries are still broken? What happened to "we can patch in a day's notice" now?

>>1841778
they finally did fix it earlier today, but still need to suffer dogshits edge til tomorrow

>>1843499
Checked.
Fair enough. I don't hate the map, but I remember you and a hand full of others are sick of it. Even though I wasn't around for the old days, King's Canyon feels like home to me.

>>1843499
They could just nuke the entire tranny map from the game instead of fix the trees desu, worst map there ever was and ever will be in any game ever by a solid margin.

>>1843671
Broken Troon has its moments. Promenade being literally nuked from the map was a start to fixing it, but it still feels choke-pointy depending on how the ring pulls.

sure do love losing over 400rp cause of back to back shitty landings with 3rd parties and bad poe's on worlds edge.

>>1843751
The the edge zones are fine, but you need non braindead teammates who won't get hard filtered fighting in ring 2 then dying to gatekeepers.
>map designed for >100iq players
>no wonder playerbase hates it

>>1843902
The map is not designed for intelligent beings, it's 100% designed for retarded niggers like you, just like everything else nu-Respawn has done.

>Pretending Broken Moon is worst than fucking Stormpoint which has been out for way longer and they STILL haven't made it fun to play on

Are we playing the same game?

>>1844166
Storm Point is the best map, retard.

>>1844266
Nah, storm point also suffers from "Ok I survived the landing, now to look for the remaining 3 teams for twenty minutes".
Kings Canyon S0 is the best map outside of the loot.

Stormpoint is the best of the worst maps however, broken troon is almost as bad as E-District.

FINALLY. only took 1350 hours of playing

>>1843902
>>1844360
we're all talking about Pubs, right?
whenever someone says "find the last 3 teams" it immediately filters as pubs bitching, which
>you get what you pay for
I find most people playing F2P shooters are not very bright anyway. Spreading out, winning PoI to PoI is too big brained for most people. They really should play arena shooters or TDM, but they chose to hotdrop and not even improve from their failure.
unironically just find team mates and stop bitching. or play ranked (the ranks NEVER have mattered. Hidden MMR has made sure of that) where people tend to play a little more conservatively to a point.
>inb4 I wanna leave if my idiots are idiots and they let me go down!!11!
skill issue.
Note: your randos will still throw. there's a timer in every player that goes off, which makes them make a braindead move that throws the game. Usually spurred on by impatience with a smattering of ego.

>>1844567
ranked is obviously superior in every way (i find pubs completely unplayable nowadays) but even on ranked stormpoint the fights can be super spread out

Keep Ash how she is, don't change Ash.... but jesus christ, patch the fucking hitbox size of that snare

>>1837318
none of the "old posters" have been here for like 3 years

>>1844266
The PvE maps, point & disctrict, are hot garbage technical debt. Your local emulation & the actual game state on the server have practically no relation.
>>1844360
The unwritten rules that produce correct rotations have too many soft variables for midwits to brute force. Signposts are not enough, midwits require off brain pathing calculation and quest arrows.
>>1843751
BM has many no-go fight zones. Midwits need a death heatmap overlay, because they will never learn.
>>1843616
Every spoke-wheel map of the same size will play the same. BM is the map one step larger than WE.
The problem is the strictly circular zone closing.

"didn't you feel me cumming"

>>1845109
>BM has many no-go fight zones. Midwits need a death heatmap overlay, because they will never learn.
I jej'd at this, as it hits close to home.I like statistics visualized (as long as it's not yet another shitty graph)
>Every spoke-wheel map of the same size will play the same. BM is the map one step larger than WE.
The problem is the strictly circular zone closing.
E-Girl District Feels very Spoke-wheel like.
>inb4 massive spergery over mentioning the new map
All I can say at this point is that it's something different. The lotus towers are the worst design ever. When that is the end zone area, sniper fags get their fill. When the map dropped and the class changes happened, I was farming so much with Vantage. Who knew she'd be good for urban warfare?

>>1844266
>Said no one ever

>>1845661
Says almost everyone.

the fights have been ok, but xynew does counter call a bit

they could've had a better second game on worlds edge and put themselves in contention but they tried to do too much, and now they're basically 100% out

Did you forget about the slight aim assist nerf?

>>1852455
That's irrelevant. The real exposure is most controller players don't know how to play characters that require a brain in a competitive setting. Being a flexible, quick-learning player is a requirement for consistency now. Rollertards can't get by on just "mechanics" anymore.

how many more maps until we see a winner?

yeah but it wasn't even good igling that got them to that spot. just an evac tower towards zone cause they had no other option

>>1852493
I'm surprised that they didn't notice that Sentinels was a duo.

You know your game and esports is dead when it's a Ninjas In Pyjamas team on top of the leaderboard and all the other teams are propped up by Saudis.

>>1852497
NIP is based. Vein and Kurev are really good and Mclovin is the rare controller player with the capacity to think.

>>1852495
they did know, but sentinels were caustic and weren't getting pressured by the team from the other side of tunnel

>>1852501
I thought Mazer and co were also pulling up on the other side of Sen.

>>1852502
the first time they attempted when sen were actually being pinched they didn't know it was a duo, and it's hard to force into caustic
the second time they did know it was a duo, but it's still hard to force caustic and sen weren't getting pressured from behind as much. or at least it seemed like they weren't

why is a chinese team competing in apac south?

>triple m&k team wins
Eat shit and learn to play Apex Legends and not Call of Duty, rollertards.

>>1852426
>legend bans
took them HOW MANY YEARS to implement that? Was saying that they should start doing that like season 13. The problem is that they all find the best comp and rehearse it over and over and over. As soon as you take away their toys, they don't know how to play the game flexibly. The cracks have been showing for a while, but most of these pros are decent at the game, but the best teams are carried kicking and screaming along by one guy.

apex would be good if they gave pathfinder an ultrakill skin and a wingman marksman skin

>>1837831
the moon is... le broken

>>1852961
I'm so over this input debate shit, i play this game like a few times a month and i know nothing will ever massively change with this.

>>1852961
Because it takes more 'skill', which is partly IQ and brain function.
The controller players represent the less "talented" 90% that simply can't afford to NOT take the crutch.
Then you have cultural stuff like with some westerners/japanese playing on consoles more growing up so you get more controller players and people also just copying the trend, so the exceptions seem to stand out even more.

Anyways this guy has a ghibli pfp so surely only a smoothbrain zoomer could take this shit seriously.

My mind is seeing nessie decoys

i just assumed this duels mode was crap and half baked so i hadn't even touched it in the last fortnight but it turns out it's actually a proper mode... well fuck

Fusechads and Octards stealing my kills while not contributing at all to pushes (despite pushing with me) these people are bizarre, just shoot at the enemy
Is it a movement problem, are they simply too slow to get an angle on enemies that they have to just ADS while walking slow and hope for the bst

Tired of coming back to see these same people who refuse to play the game properly and instead just poke at enemies and heal on repeat like a bot. Yeh its great they do some damage sometimes, but they are also just plain useless at anything else which inevitably starts to matter when you want to actually win a balanced fight against opponents with more than 80 IQ
Well, atleast its not trios.

Jesus the new player experience was actually the worst thing I have ever experienced in this game.

>>1858176
"you're at the rank you're meant to be"
j/k. Maybe learn to speed date your ankle weights at the beginning of the match so that you can wrangle them into playing position (I see you got 5th there, so at least you got near the end ring), but otherwise maybe find team mates.

I just noticed they "Nerfed" Ash. They simply moved her to skirmisher (worst passives in the game).
Still ridiculous that a whole class has free gold reloads, and fast reloads on crack (and wall hacks). Any one of those is super strong on its own.
>>1859009

Loba, my beloved

>>1859625
He definitely belongs there. Especially with the leap and the climbing, you really benefit from the free reload since it's one of those movements that takes TWO HANDS to do.
>>1859440
For sure, but so are most people. Reading the comments on steam and especially plebbit, people are talking about nerfing every movement ability, and movement devices like ziplines and jump pads. The core understanding that an FPS game is a TIME management game, and adding powers is fine as long as there's another cost: HP, inventory slots, or everyone being able to access the ability when it's placed on the field, (so if you use it badly, it can backfire on you and your team). They simply think about how the ability killed them when their opponents used it, and so they want it gone or changed.

I didn't realise how massive these Wattson buffs were
In fact one of the buffs sort of outplays Catatroon

I gave up getting to Master again by solo queues. It's why I took a break. I have nothing to grind for.

Well before i found out my freeloader video editor now has an unavoidable screen spanning watermark, i made a funny clip where i was ratting, watched an enemy trio go past, then i thought their retarded wattson player saw me, who was looking right my way for a solid few seconds, but there was 0 reaction and they were about to look back away when i panicked and let loose with my charged sentinel+re45, knocking 1 and getting the other on 1hp, then running off and going to craft my teammates banners (in ranked) just for them to disconnect seconds before reaching the crafter that was directly within sight... and then i got killed right after anyways.
Sperg paragraph aside that shit really tilts me, when they go and leave like that, even if it doesn't make any difference in the end lol

>>1860373

4,000 hours and 20,000 matches assuming they had a steady 5 K/D throughout the years

realistically it's 5,000+ hours and 25,000 games played if they started off Plat tier, then got gud with a 4 K/D. this is from only playing pubs, of course. probably took longer if they play ranked, too. since top tier pros struggle to get a K/D higher than 3.5 in Masters/Pred ranked

I get that it's normal for players to pick the meta characters, but it's fucking annoying when your main becomes the meta character and you have to play a character you rarely touch.

You could easily get a 6-7 KDR if you 3-stack and pubstomped. That only got "fixed" around S19 where the new EOMM treats stacks separately to solo-q (and forces you to lose). Old EOMM put everyone in 4 buckets so you'd get timmys in with demons.
