Horrible matchmaking, script/macro usage and hackers. How do you enjoy S16?

Apex became insane to play. It's just getting worse and worse As the game stays out for longer, the skill gap will increase, yes, but this game is not suffering from that, At least not while that is...

Not to be THAT GUY, but until I can do it on a mac then there is no interest in pc gaming on my part. I'll return to windows when hell freezes over.

I'm curious to hear you say "more console cheaters vs pc." That is contrary to everything I have ever heard from anyone. Console guys may use strikes and anti-recoil, but as far as I know there is no way to use actual aimbots or wall hacks on console, things which seem to be so readily available for pc.

"it's hard to understand that people can have "such good aim without aimbot" until you learn it yourself"

Well, 23 years of dogwater aim WITH aim assist tells me that mnk would definitely not be a thing for me. Also I have to say that there is at least something intuitive about a controller. MNK seems to me like the complete opposite. If I wanted to spent another 15 years in piano lessons I'd just go back to the piano. At least something worthwhile comes out of that!

@reconzero LOL fair enough 🙂

I've never used Mac, why don't you like Windows? I mean, it's fine..I don't have issues with it.

Well yeah, that's what I meant - chronus/xim/strike packs or whatever the kids use these days are undetectable. And these companies exist and sell their products...someone is buying it and using it, but since it's console it seems like a lot of people are still in disbelief that it's actually being used by players. As far as Apex goes I have yet to see even one of my deaths raise an eyebrow. Sure, people beam you but you beam back...not seeing any sus behaviour aside from a few smurfs here and there which is not technically cheating. Sure it happens somewhere, just haven't encountered it yet, console was the opposite for me.

    "why don't you like Windows?"

    Do NOT get me started.

    "Sure, people beam you but you beam back..."

    Were it so easy.

    "not seeing any sus behaviour aside from a few smurfs here and there which is not technically cheating."

    I wasn't even thinking about smurfs, but in my humble opinion it's cheating and it isn't even a lesser form of cheating. What makes it even more aggrevating is that the developer could detect and shut down in a matter of a few matches, but that would interfere with several other dev objectives and so it's not only allowed, it's encouraged and it flourishes.

      @reconzeroWell, yeah, that's what I meant - not technically cheating by the publisher's own standards, but cheating in a way because you can manipulate the ranks/mm. Either way I stopped caring long ago about it.

      "Were it so easy."

      Bro, I'm literally telling you it can if you "gel" with the hardware/settings anyone can be beaming. Not to say anyone will gel with using mouse, but it seems it's what I'm best at, and I was pretty proud of my controller aim mind you.

      Back when I played mostly fps on PC but for some reason I downloaded Apex on PS and just let it happen, unlocked stuff and yeah... The difference is night and day for me when I switched. My console experience was teammates quitting and not even trying to go for a rez pretty much 60-70% of the time. For some reason I'm only seeing that maybe 20% of the time on PC. The game just has become so much more enjoyable because of that alone. I'm telling you bro, it's a different mindset, probably because the older crowd plays PC I guess. Not trying to convince you, just reporting what I am seeing, but if you're happy do that 🙂

        THAT is a compelling argument. Not compelling enough to get me to buy the kind of pc it would take, but very tempting just the same.

    @Unitee01 @reconzero In my personal opinion, Windows v Mac is the same as Ford v Chevy. If you've had bad experiences with one, you switch to the other, and never look back

      "I literally always read this in the Arbiter's voice"

      And that was exactly as you were intended to do.

      "Windows v Mac is the same as Ford v Chevy."

      That is not a bad analogy, although one that I prefer, being extremely partisan on the issue, is that it's the same as Good vs. Evil, and Micro$oft in this case is Evil. Which is ironic coming from me who is also an Xbox partisan. Don't ask me why they can make a gaming console that never fails (software wise) and that is relatively user friendly, when windows is, to me, a complete and total circus of bloatware and "abort retry fail" engineering.

        @reconzeroI glad someone feels the same about Xbox vs windows 😂

        Apple does a lot of good stuff, however their devices seem rigged to blow a few years after purchase. And also I would never purchase their air pods when I can get better quality and still have touch buttons for only $30. iPhone is better in every way except for picture quality, android absolutely rocks that section.
