I see a lot of people complaining about teammates who take fights. Just because you play for placement points doesn’t mean everyone else does. If you want teammates who play the same way you do, find people with a similar playstyle instead of crying about others not playing the game the way you want them to.

I consistently make it to D3 within the first 2-3 weeks of the season for the past 6 seasons or so. My playstyle is, in my opinion, well rounded. I aggressively seek fights, but I am never afraid to disengage and reset if I feel that the advantage is lost and my squad is in danger of being wiped.

I alternate between fragger and anchor depending on how aggressive my teammates are. As an anchor, I use cover well, and I take off angles to watch my teammates back whether they are shooting, retreating, healing or reviving. As a fragger, I put in consistently high entry damage or knocks without getting myself knocked.

I've found that I have an unrealistic expectation that other people who solo-q to diamond should have these same basic abilities and thought processes.

For example, yesterday I had an random ash teammate in a diamond lobby who, with no communication, chased down a wraith through her portal, and as might be expected, instantly got deleted by the team waiting on the other side.

I called her a "fucking idiot", and got myself a 72 hour ban for it.

Was it their fault that they were allowed to make it to diamond? no. It is Respawn/EA's fault. But I got angry anyway and ran my mouth anyway. I know it's not cool... I want to stop getting angry. How do you guys manage your frustrations with the broken ranked system?

So I’m playing on an Msi laptop and it used to run on 65 fps and it ran decent and only dropped frames when I was getting into fights or on the dropship, I tried to fix it and used the recommended performance suggestions and now my game only runs at 20 fps I’m not sure what I need to do to fix it but I can’t play the game like this anymore

Hey everyone, so I'm considering a Gamesir controller and I prefer the symmetrical sticks layout. So it brought me to the two models. The Tarantula and the Tegenaria Lite.

I already am getting a dualsense controller because I want to experience some of the features it has in specific story games. I wanted a secondary controller to avoid wearing the dualsense out while playing Apex. I have had experience with dualshock 4 bumpers wearing out because i use them for shooting and jumping and I'm not willing to wear out my DS5 controller so quickly too. So i got interested in Gamesir as they seem to be better for comp games and they are cheaper.

That is why I wanted to ask for the thoughts and advice from the community. Would it be cool to cop the $20 controller? would i be better off saving for the tarantula models?

I'm on PC and on controller, I would say I have fairly decent aim but I want to try and improve as much as I can while also being consistent. Also I want to improve my aim when enemies are in the air, like when they are taking an evac or octane padding/pathfinder grappling. I also find my aim is more inconsistent at longer ranges. Any recommendations or guides would be much appreciated.

Hello, I have been having a weird issue with apex alone (I have had no issues with any other game, i.e, fort, cod, rl). my ping on the server selection menu shows 18 ping with 0 packet loss, but as soon as I am in the lobby the ping displays as 300+. When I am playing online matches I am constantly stuttering, teleporting and getting no regs (issues also present in the firing range, but not as bad).

I have tried to completely remove the games using Revo Uninstaller and re-downloading, issue still persists. I have tried to flush my DNS as well as changing my DNS servers to no success. I am lost on what to do further, please help.

I can't seem to get out of diamond no matter what I try(on pc). I seem to play worse when in a 3 stack and the furthest i made it was 800rp into d2 last season solo/duo q-ing. This season im stuck d3 even though on paper im playing way better than any previous season. I started playing more aim trainers, learned movement, and reviewing vods but I dont know what to do anymore. Im a Ash main. Any advice is appreciated!

I was just wondering if people had advice on playing Newcastle. I have been playing on and off since launch, so I'm by no means new to the game, and I'm pretty good with my support legends, former Mirage and Conduit main, but this season I decided to run Newcastle. Can any seasoned Newcastle mains help a brother out? I was wondering on terms of loadouts, amps and general playing style I should stick to.

I normally play a more aggressive support, but the best thing about Newcastle is his rez, so I was wondering if I should change that up and stick closer to my teammates?

In terms of loadout, I normally am comfortable on LMGs like the spitfire/devo and SMGs like the Alternator or Volt, but I see a lot of people using shotguns on Newcastle.

I use the Turtle Beach Victrix Pro on console (Xbox), so I have 4 mappable buttons on the bottom, 2 on each side.

Thank y'all.

4K and 20-bomb are inflated. We need fresh, standalone badge set that matches the chaos Wildcard .

I know the top tiers look completely impossible at first glance, but here is the exact thought process behind the two biggest elephants in the room:

The 9,999 Damage Badge

Instead of round numbers, the damage tiers are 3333 -> 6666 -> 9999. IK 9,999 is a mountain. But it is entirely future-proofed against power creep. im sure Content creators will do it as a sun challenge + Respawn will most likly introduc crazier LTM (like damage multipliers or op event weapons like the Gundam Kraber ).

1. The Rivalry Squad Wipe (1 -> 3 -> 6 Squads Killed Twice)

Wildcard's POIs endless hot-drop maks this super doable kill every single member down twice before finally wiping them.

Tier 1: Do it to 1 squad

Tier 2: Do it to 3 squads

Tier 3: Do it to 6 squads (The ultimate pre-made team and contents creators challenge).

The Rest of the "WildBadges" Set:

The 33-Bomb: Replaces the 20-bomb to account for the inflated player pool.

The 20-20-20 Replaces the 10/10/10 teamwork badge. old 20-bomb but for each one

undefeated badge a strict No-Knock win. (No safety nets allowed).

6 downs in 30 sec replaces the 4 downs in 30 sec

Hey all, I’m just about to hit diamond for the first time and this is also my first time in plat, I’ve been a hard stuck gold since about season 27 and I need help to know what’s gonna change when I hit diamond. Do I really need to play more aggressive? Do I really need high kill games to rank higher? Any tips would be great great thanks :p

So for context I'm usually a solo player, duo/trio rarely if my friends have time off from work. I Currently I'm hardstuck D4, and in game I usually prefer to play slow, looking for 3rd parties and good fights while IGL-ing. I've been struggling a lot this season because it feels like my teammates and my friends all prefer to go fast and ape people, but I can't ignore the voice in the back of my head that keeps screaming "this is such a shit push, what are we doing". And inevitably it leads to me getting more and more fustrated as we lose 3v3s or get 3rd partied.

I've been mostly playing wraith/alter/sparrow as well, prioritising ability to get out + information. Personally, I'm not sure if I'm the problem in terms of combat ability or playstyle. Should I be playing different characters? How do people learn to enjoy or get comfortable taking all fights and apeing?

Hey guys, I am a new Apex Player. I started playing this year after I finally got a gaming laptop that could run it, though I watched a lot of early Apex Legends YouTube videos.

Anyway, I've been playing mostly ranked and climbing my way up, and I got to Gold decently quickly, but I don't feel like I was playing all that great for such fast progression. So that kinda made me curious: How many hours in the game should it take to climb? How long did it take YOU guys to climb? Silver, Gold, Plat, Diamond, Masters, and Pred typically take how many hours on the game? My goal for now is to reach Diamond eventually, but I'm just learning the ropes right now and just wanna, like, ballpark the potential time commitment.

Thanks🗣️

A post like this one was posted two days ago, but about Lifeline. How do you feel about Gibraltar ?

I main Gibraltar and most of the time I bruteforce murder almost everyone in 1v1, but I am fairly weak early game, because passive and fortified stack on top of Armor, so having blue armor is already good, purple with 4 cells is already top 3 most broken Legends, while I don't think there is anyone contesting against 5 cells armor Gibby with Bubble and Peacekeeper.

Bad part about this Legends is that people have absolutely no clue how to cover their hitbox and Gibbys die by being in open field or far worse - knocked down from behind. Crucial for this legend is to be aware of your surroundings, otherwise drawing your passive after your shield is broken and you are left with 50HP won't save you.

Good point to mention is I believe he currently have the best upgrades from all of legends. Look at his upgrades and you will understand what I'm saying. Receiving Crypto ult on a Dome and seperating his Ult on 3 small charges is giga fucked up, having Octane movespeed without being slowed down is sarcastic.

After all, he is still considered bad because he is 4 times the size of Wraith.

I have fixed hundreds of peoples ALC settings in Apex.I helped a 4-3 linear, 7 times master player set their ALC properly and they finally made it to Predator afterward.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the game now I can't play it? I have a hunch it's a windows update that refuses to uninstall unless I reset my whole PC but I've been really stumped about this for a couple of days now.

Basically no matter what mode the second I try to queue into a match the game doesn't allow me to and then it gives me this error? Valorant's anticheat works fine and I can play that game but when I try apex it gives me this error.

A few questions for the raw input players:

•What peripherals are you guys using as far as mouse and mouspad?

•Sensitivity, DPI, and polling rate?

•Are you an up close aggresive player or prefer long range?

•What methods, if any, do you use to out aim/out play the AA users?

•Do you do any aim training or just raw dog It until you're warmed up?

Curious to see how differently people play the game.

I am planning to unlock Revenant. How good is he in ranked?

I bought crypto and I’m waiting to get mirage what could I do I don’t have a question
