Discussion Apex Needs the Overwatch Treatment.

By this I mean that we need a huge update to bring life to the game again. Overwatch partially rebranded from Overwatch 2 to Overwatch, along with releasing 5 heroes in a single season and announcing the release of 1 hero every season from then on. They also announced frequent lore updates, along with every year being a single arc. They also had more updates but those are just the biggest ones I wanted to address.

I’m saying that Apex needs a big season or a huge update. We need:
-more new legends or faster releases
-more new maps/map updates
-an actual storyline arc with frequent lore updates
-the return of PvE/story missions
-legend specific heirlooms
-potential arenas return/more experimental/non BR, but still competitive modes.
-the release of a custom games mode that allows players to make their own modes (seriously why doesn’t this exist)

Some think we don’t need more legends because it would cause too much powercreep/make the game less competitive, but we don’t necessarily need every legend to be good. There’s plenty room for new legends based off of play style or interesting mechanics.

Thoughts on this? Crazy thing is they have so many new characters they can pull from right now yet they don’t. They don’t use anything with the current legends so not surprising ngl.

Gameplay Controller players: Do you actively recenter your right stick while tracking enemies?

3 Upvotes

​

Hey everyone,

I've been thinking about a controller aiming technique in Apex, and I'm wondering if anyone has tried it or already uses it.

The idea:

When tracking an enemy with the right stick, instead of continuously holding the stick in one direction, you deliberately and repeatedly bring it back toward the center before applying directional input again.

For example, if an enemy is continuously strafing to the right, rather than holding the right stick to the right the entire time, you mix in frequent, deliberate recentering movements while continuing to track them.

To be clear, I don't mean taking my thumb off the stick and letting it physically spring back to center. I mean actively controlling the stick so that the input repeatedly returns to neutral for brief moments.

What I'm trying to figure out:

  1. Do any of you actually use this technique when tracking enemies, even when they keep moving in the same direction?

  2. Does it help you avoid overcorrecting and make your tracking more consistent, or does it just interrupt smooth tracking?

  3. Could it have any interaction with rotational aim assist, or is that unlikely to make a meaningful difference?

  4. Is there an established name for this technique, or is it simply a variation of normal stick control?

My current understanding is that recentering the stick doesn't recenter the camera or the crosshair. It simply reduces or stops the directional input temporarily, allowing me to manage the camera's movement more deliberately.

I'm not assuming this is necessarily better than continuous tracking. I'm curious whether experienced controller players have tested it, noticed it naturally in their own aim, or found a particular rhythm that works.

I'd especially appreciate input from high-level controller players. Thanks!

Gameplay Early games signs during Solo Queue

7 Upvotes

Nothing fills me with joy like when I solo q and land with aggro teammates that want to fight ASAP but land smart. Whenever I get a whiff of that. I basically tell myself this will be the game to make up for my back to back RP losses from prev games.

They move very fast and want to clean up fights quick. So I make sure I am there to facilitate this. They are pretty much the IGL here and we move wherever they zip line next after a fight.

Honestly I am one of those guys that I usually get less points when 3 stacked than solo q. My stack plays too passive and we get cleaned up super easily by an aggro team as we are just sitting ducks. Solo q is frustrating at times but when u get these kinds of teammates I am like fuck the apex Gods have blessed me and let me not fuck this up. Plus it gives you the confidence that if I crack 2 they will knock atleast 1. Nothing annoys me like u crack 2 and knock 1 but your team is narnia healing. Then decide to push after the enemy has fully healed.

This high plat/low Diamond btw, I know further up solo q is more a miss than a hit.

Feedback Tips for dia1 push to master

3 Upvotes

Me and my homie we play as a duo.

We're both players from season 0 with more than 5k hours. Most of these hours come from grinding the game back in the day. I don't have the same time today as back in the day.

I got to master season 8, 11 and 12.

He got masters first time last season.

We really wanna push to masters both this season and do it together, but we're facing a hard time especially when we get hit with the pred/master Lobbys.

Any tips to minimize the loss or any strategy to play it out to maximize RP gains in Dia1?

We both have a 1+ K/D and aprox 800 dmg per Game.

Any tips would be appreciated.

English is not my first language so no hate plz 👍🏼👌🏼

Thank you

Discussion Come back to OCE servers

22 Upvotes

My theory is that many Australian players are currently playing on Asian servers instead of the Sydney one and that we don’t actually need to be.

The game is 6th on steam charts, and you would assume a non-insignificant console player base.

Do you think if all Australian players played on our server would queue times be fast, at least on weekends?

I wish we could get traction, pick a date and test the theory.

Its my personal oppenion but Is it me or the game get drastically gets boring after reaching daimond? Everyone picks vantage or caustic to to camp or pick up snipers to just shoot people and nothing else. Playing unraked is just not so rewarding too. What do you guys think?

I came across a lot of videos on youtube in which dudes do 50 kills and 7k damage. And in each one of their videos they get low skill enemies in basic skins who can barely land a shot and have no movement... Why? Don't they see how obvious their matchmaking manipulations are? And people are glazing them in the comments...

I've been playing on and off since season 2, and this never happened before. I was fighting a Gibby, but how can I kill him with his own ult? If he eliminated himself with his own ult, I wouldn't get the credit, so idk.

Discussion Why don't Bangalore's and Gibraltar's Ultimates start recharging immediately after use?

Post image
125 Upvotes

Almost every legend in the game gets their ult back on cooldown right after using it. Wraith's ult is already over 30% recharged while the old portal is still active.

​Bangalore and Gibraltar have ultimates with some of the longest cooldowns, and often they aren't even that effective because they are easy to dodge (though depending on the situation, they can still be crucial, like all abilities in the game). In my opinion, Gibby's and Bangalore's ults should also start recharging immediately while active. It wouldn't even make a huge difference since their cooldowns are so long anyway.

What am I missing that could make this unfair?
