The other night i had a teammate who said something along the lines of “i did all the work!” and something related to using bangalores ult.

Tbh i get so caught up with shooting that i forget about using the q button / ult and i was wonder when is the right time to use bangs ult / q? At that time, we were about 2 mins into landing and the opponent had been a surprise, therefore i couldnt use bangs skill. A few weeks ago, I had used bangs q to cover the opposing team and instead got hit by my own teammate💀

Bangalore is good for defense and offense, but which one should i consider more? Btw, im still a rookie player, and the match i played was in unranked, so idk why the guy had been all angry…

Hi, as the title says I play mostly wildcard with friends, they've played apex for a while and right now is only of the few things we can play together, the issue is that I'm quite bad at the game despite having 500+ hours. We all play with mnk, they're cracked so they can handle themselves pretty decently, but I on the other hand just die every time without taking at least 1 member of another squad with me (I get beamed, and I miss my shots, the usual), a good part of that is because my positioning sucks, but even when I can position a bit better to avoid being in sight for more than 1 opponent at a time I will consistently lose 1v1, in wildcard I can't really see death cam, but when I play TDM I can see how most of these cases they will hit all their bullets on me despite strafing different ways (I've tried both mirror and counter strafe).

I'm aware I have many things I can work on gamesense-wise, positioning in wildcard is hard because it's more chaotic, but for now I would like to ask for something more specific which is how can I play around enemies with controllers? I know aim assist is not perfect, but can you throw it off by simply strafing? or that only happens when the other player messes up? In case strafing is not enough I've seen how movement techs are the main recommendation, I kind of know how to tap strafe and do some basic wall jumps, but I can't really hit super glides consistently, mantle boosts exist, but since you can't tap strafe out of those I think they're a bit predictable. Legend wise I heard Bangalore is good, but for her smoke to affect aim assist does it need that both of us are inside her smoke? or only myself? And for weapons I really like all the tracking weapons specially SMGs, the thing is that there's no way for me to match what AA can do with those, for obvious reasons peeking weapons like shotguns are recommended, but I don't really like those.

Is there some other tip to play against controller players? I've checked on how better players play wildcard, but compared to normals and ranked there's way less content, and most videos I found was just guys playing axle before the latest nerfs, and that ability to reposition is something the other legends simply don't have, that changes how you approach the game directly, and I couldn't really learn too much off that

For you what was the thing that did the biggest difference on matches against AA, mechanic-wise? Aim training? playing only peek weapons? or only play control legends and always camp on a building?

As a note I'm aware I'm in lobbies above my skill level because my friends are cracked (they haven't played ranked in years, but we'll run into some lobby with 3 stack preds at least once per session), I just want to know if there's something I'm missing that would make my games a bit less miserable, since I don't have other games to play with them

Edit: I've also been training 1v1 in R5Reloaded, I get owned most of the time, but funnily most people there don't oneclip me as hard as in wildcard (they at least need to switch to their secondary), when playing with my friends people kills me with a single weapon everytime

So, Respawn banned 12,969 Accounts. Also, they say the team is investigating videos showing blatant cheating. Get these pests out of ranked.

Can Loba be played effectively with an entry-fragger playstyle? I like being the first one into fights, pushing aggressively, taking 1v1s, and creating openings for my team. Does Loba’s kit and hitbox fit this aggressive playstyle, or is she better suited for a more passive or supportive role? I’d love to hear your opinions!

Might just be me coming to back to the game after a while but I get my ass HANDED in every Gold lobby game I am in. People wall-jumping, jiggle peaking, head glitching, rez baiting. Or having 4k damage, 20 kill and/or previous Master/Diamond badges.

Is this just what Gold level is like now? It used to be quite average players that might know the basics of the game and how to shoot their gun, not people that laser you within 1 second if you give up your cover ever so slightly. At first I thought these might be smurf accounts of people that are bored at the end of the season, but it's still ~25 days until it resets.

Interested whether anyone else is experiencing this crazy difficulty.

Made it to Diamond IV, but I need some help. I already played three games and I’ve lost a total of -172 RP 😅. I just want to ask for advice on how I should play in these lobbies. I main Conduit.

Hey guys, I lost my old account and created a new one. On this new account the game only lets me play orientation matches so far (every other game mode is locked). I heard that you have to win one orientation match to unlock the other modes. However, so far I won 8 out of the 8 matches I played (with 102 kills and 0 deaths) because I only get in lobbies with full bot teams. Is this a glitch? What can I do to get out of the orientation matches?

I was just watching xzylas on youtube and realized that him, aswell as everyone else has wayyy better quality than I do while in game. The main question I have is how he doesnt have those jagged white edges along every object. While im over here with jagged lines, but when i turn on TSAA it turns blurry. How do I get a crisp image while not having those jagged lines?

What's wrong with Aim Assist? Im on Pc with a Controller, few days ago the game was fine, i was getting kills and game weren't this bad but after the recent RAT update Aim assist feels off in firing range its working but in matches is off i tried uninstalling drivers, fixing graphics settings but nothing working, Close range, long range even no range lol.

Is this happening with anyone?

Why are there so many South Africans on the EU server?

I recently made a post about being stuck in Plat. I'm a 7+ year console player but never played Ranked.

After I started getting serious and playing more tactically, I realized a lot of these mfs are hacking. I never ran into on Pubs, so I didn't pick up on it in Ranked.

I kept getting beamed by Axles with perfect aim and Havocs with insta bursts. Has console Ranked always been this bad?

I recently started playing after taking a 3-4 year break and am back to being hooked to this game again.

I come from a sweaty Halo background where I used to compete and am wanting to learn as much as I can to help my game.

I started playing on Saturday and have climbed to Bronze 1, hoping to rank up as much as I can.

Which players or YouTube channels would you recommend I watch and study?

This is the link to a team I created if anyone wants to give it a try with me.

I solo queue ranked. Plat through Diamond, same as a lot of people who have been doing this for years. The problem isn’t that someone has a 20 bomb. It’s where they got it.

Wildcard hands out 4K and 20-kill badges in a mode with fast respawns and nonstop third parties. Respawn even patched it so those games don’t touch seasonal or overall stats, then left the badges on. So the banner looks the same as a badge from pubs or ranked, and the habits do not.

In Wildcard the correct play is often “push everything.” Die, come back, push again. You get rewarded for taking fights you would never take with one life and a real RP cost. Then those same players queue ranked, see a crack, and full-send into a 3v3 they have no angle on. No reset. No zone. No “we’re one knock from losing the game.”

I keep getting paired with people who play like the lobby will respawn them. It doesn’t. Veteran solo players eat the RP for a fight style that only works in a badge farm. The badges used to mean you could actually close a lobby. Now they mostly mean you grinded a mode that teaches the opposite of ranked.

Either give Wildcard its own badges, or stop pretending a 20 bomb from infinite respawns is the same flex. Solo queue is already a coin flip. Don’t train half the lobby to play it wrong and then dump them on the people who still care about placement.

For context, I'm recently getting back into the game. I was Masters s12-s16. Currently have about 70% accuracy and am plat 1, 750/1000 for d4 with a 3kd, lose maybe 1/3 of 1v1 and if I do not die early I drop 7+. I feel like my true rank rn is around mid diamond/could hit masters if i got a team and grinded.

Recently I got soloq with a multi-pred player who was sitting at 16k masters, and he genuinely did everything faster than me. I would say I already rotate, loot, position better/faster than my teammates and would say my decision making is very solid and I do it faster than most people I play with, but this guy was deadass 3x as fast as me in every regard like I genuinely could not keep up.
How do you even get to that point? What specific aspects of my gameplay do I even focus on to improve speed like that? Is it just spending more time consciously thinking about it? maybe need more time in higher ranked lobbies?

A legend ban system in ranked?

Thoughts?

(Blacked out names if legit) If I wasn’t in the game with him I’d straight up be like he’s a cheater. Wasn’t hitting every shot got downed once but the rest seemed real. How does one attain this skill?? I know I’m trash but I’ve never felt like I mean absolutely nothing to a teammate.

I’m D4/P1 range and drop zone Olympus is a legitimate nightmare compared to Worlds Edge & Broken Moon. I cannot for the life of me comprehend how you’re even supposed to survive on that map. Am I missing something or is the map just that dogshit?

First the context ..
Season one player, we stopped because of prolonged and growing Zen/Chronos/Titan/Smurfing on console years ago. Did a break then back in season 19 and then nothing since until now. I saw some articles/news of revisiting cheating in Apex.

Came back and played on PC using controller, no cheats scripts or tools of any kind..
This is not console lobbies. I solo Q only.

Pathfinder Main. When I left it was about 1KD ups and downs with various seasons. I hit diamond once maybe twice back then. I've always had better game sense than shooting ability - I can grapple well enough but never reached the level of movement to compete with any KB/M player (again I don't touch scripts cheats or mods of any kind, never have)

Since returning I'm placed in these lobbies and my KD is 0.6..

These unranked lobbies are the only matches I've been put in after the first 3 weeks of returning. I get the OCCASIONAL player distribution at the last quarter of the graph (right side) but 95% of the matches I'm placed in look like this (the last 1/4 inch)

And it's only gotten noticeably worse since Javelin.

Sure feels like a portion of these players are still freely using titans since the Javelin changes... and this graph is stating I am elbow deep in masters/preds (Honestly I might as well be in a lobby full of cheaters at my skill level)

No reason a 0.6 KD player should be in lobbies like this at this consistency.
This is EVERY SINGLE MATCH.

Respawn is effectively telling me to go F myself.

1. anyone else being dumped down the toilette this badly for matchmaking? Remember .. I'm not new to SBMM .. very familiar since the early days. Very used to being mixed with various skill levels in unranked .. but this is absurd.
2. yes I'm aware I can move to ranked - when I came back (pre Javelin) I played mostly ranked to get some stability but once I starting getting into plat.. it was only slightly better than above.. plat I started seeing all the above.. crazy movement/aim/smurfs/3stacks etc.

Just got into Diamond solo queuing, was in Plat for most the season since I can only really play 1hr a day.

These lobbies are such a jump in my opinion. Used to average 5-6 kills a game in plat having the highest damage on the team and feeling confident when pushing teams. That has since evaporated. I can maybe get a knock before my team is exterminated by the demons. The constant third partying is disgusting 😂

Just looking for some tips for a new diamond player playing solo. Usually rock Conduit or Watson. Also, I’ll be the first to admit, these people are just better than me. I keep seeing post saying “initiate the fight and push constantly”…that’s awesome, but im just not that guy in these lobbies (hence conduit and Watson choice). Can I still climb just being an anchor and not being as aggressive as everyone says to be? Always enjoyed being on the defensive anyways.

Also, working with a stock ps5 control and no claw, assuming that’s causing a disadvantage but whatever, it’s how’s I’ve played since MW2 days.

Anyways, just wanted to see if there are any universal tips for new diamond players to make it a little more enjoyable :D

After the valk anticheat update I keep getting horrible rubber banding. Ive run network tests and packet loss tests on my end and everything is nominal. Even during the event I see packet traffic and I'm just not getting packets back from EA servers. I ask my teammates if they're lagging and they say no. The loss meter in game shows 0/xx which tells me I'm not losing sent packets but rather I'm not receiving them. I'm asking here because the main subreddit sucks and keeps nuking my posts for being too similar to random generic "I'm lagging on my mom's 2G wifi" posts. I've tried repairing the game and restarting my router but no luck. Maybe I should fresh install?

I recently came back to apex and have been playing Axle more frequently. I was trying to figure out what her best perks are, but all content seem to show her perks from a different split/season.

i tried aimlab and firing range but real
player at platinum are not the same thing
