Re: Why am I not improving in apex

@InkBlaze02 From what you have said you have spent a lot of time learning how to kill people. That is really only half the game. The other half is understanding how to get out of fights and rotate/play the circle.

  • @hayhor Thank you for telling me this I notice that sometimes I don't rotate in fights well and whenever I back out of a fight I feel like that is weak in a way but please know I'm not some player who runs in brainlessly into a fight I just don't wanna run from it and i wanna keep fighting.

    Could you give any tips on rotating and handling fights like that? I would really appreciate it.

    Knowing the map well is a factor when it comes to rotating. I suck at rotating in Stormpoint and it's not fun getting chased by both a prowler and the ring. lol.  I've been watching some pros more during the ALGS (as suggested by our fellow forumers) and what surprised me the most was how important to know where the next ring will show up to have an early advantage to positioning. Before, my mindset was we don't need to scan the survey beacons since the next ring is obvious. If you didn't know yet, you can somewhat predict the next circle by looking at where the carepackage will land. That will assure you that the ring will be on that side. I'm referring to the 3rd round of the circle not when 2 CPs drop at the same time.

    Threads like is still useful even for veterans like us since even the basics are sometimes missed. I for one need to get better at looting faster. I'm terribly sorry if the thread got derailed somewhat.

    . You need to be careful with watching youtubers who post one single big game. They might spend 8 hours trying to get that game.

    This is true. iTemp and Sooxfar would spend hours just to look for that game that is post worthy for their channel. Not all wins are posted. And youtubers (well the ones that I watch) actively looks for fights so that viewers won’t get bored which isn’t really the best way to play if you want wins.

    Heya, 

    We've done a quick sweep of the last few pages (if we missed anything please use the report button to flag it to us). A wee call out as a result: 

    Please remember to keep things polite and friendly. You don't need to agree with each other's positions but you do need to engage in a respectful way. Please keep that in mind for again. 

    One other thing, if you do see a post or member breaking the rules, please only report it using the report function and continue with the discussion as normal. I beg you, do not try to moderate them or put them in their place...it only puts your own account inline for moderation and adds to the amount of posts we have to clean-up when we're following up ^^; Have mercy plz. ❤️

    Thanks all,

    @EA_Lanna 

    And all others that are a part of this thread. I sincerely apologize if I affronted any one in any way, that was not my intention.  I was just trying to keep things on topic and civil and apologize again if I overstepped some boundary's.

    Shout out to those who genuinely want to help the OP. Everyone can gain something from this thread, even old time players like myself. Thanks @EA_Lanna for cleaning it up and not locking it entirely. 

    @InkBlaze02 May I ask what are your expectations and goals to consider yourself as improved? Is it your KDR or your rank? Continuously reaching for diamond a couple of seasons ago made me a better player in general when it comes to positioning and general game awareness. Though I love my dive trail, the process of getting it wasn't a fun experience for me. lol.

    @Cheese9Man The algs game is something no one here experiences. 19 teams left after round 1 because they all know any fight is a 50/50 with a 3rd party ending. So yeah they have to know rotations and do it early.

    @Cheese9Man Sorry guys I haven’t responded soon I have wanted to get to master rank and improve overall and get more kills my kit is 1.0 and grinding to diamond assent much for the trails it was when I did get a trail I was finally a good player

    @InkBlaze02 I also play solo I find it better to learn from my mistakes and my movement and positioning isn’t the best. I also never found the need for rotations I thought it was for high tier players and the reason for having a 1.0 kdr is I can 1v1 someone well it’s just I find my self not knowing how to use cover and knowing when to rotate to a good spot. I do watch videos on how to improve just don’t know which ones to watch to help where I’m lacking on. I have done some research on something which people might seem weird but a coach so they can see my weaknesses and what I’m lacking on. I know that watching videos can help and I have for a while and as I said i don’t know which ones to watch to help me in what I lack on any tips on this?

    @EREGDS Thank you for this I will put this into my gameplay

    @iGRAPPLE83 I’m on console I play on a big screen TV always had a problem with my fov

    I thank everyone who’s been responding and helping me.This really helps a lot and I didn’t think so many people would have responded to this. Also thank you for the people who helped solve the little problem that happened and helped this thread keep going. Also sorry for all the comments I just wanted to answer everyone’s questions and if I do not respond soon I’m sorry.
