Today I coined a phrase for my play style. I am a SLAG. SLAG is Simple Laidback Apex Gamer. You can be a SLAG too. There is no fee to join the cult and we never serve Kool-Aid at our meetings!
Seems like a sound mindset to play this game and is actually quite similar to how I approach this game in pubs. Me, 1.5 year ago would feel like it was a total waste of time to play pubs if I didnt always landed super hot and then perma-w into the next fight. The main reason was to get those 4k and 20 kill banners. But since I got 4ks on pretty much all legends that I play and also realize that 20 kills is super hard to get by stressing (Ive got like 3 and all of them were "normal" good early and mid games but then ended with a banger), I never stress in pubs anymore.
I usually just follow my randoms around and just play whatever style they wanna play with the two weapons that just happen to be the first two that I pick up =). I couldnt care less if I win or not but I prefer to have a 4k dmg game with 8 kills and 5th place than a 600 dmg game with 2 kills and 1st place. Sometimes, especially when I play after a night out and too drunk to play ranked, I actually find it quite relaxing to just run around with randoms who want to play safe and sneaky even in pubs.
I admit that I leave pubs quite often but usually not until I am executed. I always stick around while knocked and also if it looks like my randoms are gonna win the fight when I am executed, at least if there is a respawn beacon close by. But if a random, who did 10 dmg in that fight, goes on to loot all boxes including mine before resing, I am OUT OF THERE =)
But yeah, you should never stress and rage in pubs. That game mode is so causal and random its just not worth it
To put the lid on this Casual Season Guide for future readers...
This morning my friend and I both hit 100 playing this game very relaxed and not really doing much "fighting" so to speak. We didn't even win any matches together. I won a match by default. Three nice Apex players found me goofing about on Broken Moon this season. We were the last two squads left and I thought they would finish me off. Instead we dropped all our gear and went for a romp in the final ring. They left the match without killing me, making me Champion by default. Obviously people who know how to have fun.
Fun is what this thread is all about. Playing the game relaxed is the way to enjoy Apex. If it feels like work, then you are trying too hard. I also saved up the Legendary Tokens to 48,000 so I bought 2 more legends adding them to my roster.
As you can see, I still don't have; Octane, Seer, Vantage, and Newcastle. I might be a little bias about Newcastle as he looks a little like the jock in Highschool, who took pleasure in my pain. When I attended the class reunion, I heard from others, the jock divorced twice, and got 2 years in Iron Mountain for drug charges. I felt sorry for his ex-wives. I will be adding Ballistic on Tuesday to the line up, but as one can tell, I have enough to get one more. I am leaning toward seer.
Adopt a laid back play style and have fun with it! See all of you next season. 🙂
