Re: Why are players SO dumb???

Just had another one...

He was pinging to go in the middle of 2 remaining squads and started barking down the mic. I managed to delay him enough to not get pinched.

Then we had 2 v 1 for the final. A wraith (i think) with devotion standing up on some platform. We had the ring.

Sooo... Sergeant tAcTicZ decided he'd bracelet up to the platform solo... and get downed. And elimmed. đŸ‘

(I'm a Bloodhound so he knew I weren't joining the fight.)

Luckily i managed to mislead the opponent about my position and got the hop on them for the win.

I think these players are undercover to prevent me getting Ws.

  • @1ronKeys Nahhh, I just think they’re not even considered as a darwinian species... note... even single cell species belong to that list in some degree.

    I had one yesterday. I for whatever reason am so fortunate that since the return of map rotation that I always do my dailies on KC (seriously... only have had like 4 times when it was on WE and 3 of those 4 times it was for less than 10 mins so I always did stuff and return 4 KC). We are 150m away from Mirage Voyage towards the harvester direction on the railway above that ‘town(?)’ below. I just finished the last 2 while my teammates struggle with 1 person. Okay fine, no big deal.

    Below us was another battle raging. I ping that there are ppl there and I think I even said that I’m not engaging (2nd storm was already rolling in and was closing near fragment). These suckers start engaging while storm is like 10 secs behind them. I leave both of their butts behind while saying “have fun dying in the storm you idyots” and fly towards the tunnel in trainyard. Suddenly I see a path at the end waiting for squads to come through (not even being inconspicuous), so I do the merry-go-round all the way to that tunnel separating skyhook from the rest and slide towards fragment... all this time I was already in the storm and had to use 4 syringes & 2 medkits...

    When I was at the tunnel with the path I pinged them in case one of the teammates actually made it so he’d know someone was there and I think I even said that someone was waiting. While there one teammate died... other died when I was at the other tunnel and almost outta the storm.

    So yea... you’re not alone 😜
  • Good thing that my WiFi is down from the last two days. I have a cellular data connection too with a speed around 8-12 Mbps. Unfortunately, It doesn't work if I try playing Apex on Singapore servers but works on Bahrain. So I didn't have to deal with any of this crappy nonsense. Funny thing is I get 120-130 ping on Valorant SEA servers with 0 packet loss or any lag, so I have been playing almost 6 hours a day. I had my fair share of trash talks by some peeps there, but I find it funny lol. Anyways, you guys keep on dealing with this *. But I still wanna play Apex. Oof the addiction.

    @MandatoryIDtag  Valorant is good if you're looking for competitive gaming. Having a good team is essential(at least from what i saw until now), so i think that playing with randoms may be as much frustrating as in Apex lol. They're thinking about bringing it on console but for now there's nothing official yet, they still don't know if that's a good idea.

    @MandatoryIDtag I am very much enjoying it but it's so hard cuz my aim sucks. You will like it if you enjoy tactical shooters like CS. One game can go for like 30-40 minutes on average. The gameplay is slower compared to Apex but requires more aiming skill since you can one-shot someone with some of the guns. If you miss, you are most likely dead.

    Valorant on consoles will be interesting to see. Well, the servers are 128 Hz and the game never has any sort of lag for me. That alone is a good reason to play.
  • @Cro_Pittt  I don't mind playing with bad teams to be honest, i'm just finding the utter lack of games on console that suit my taste pretty underwhelming lately lol.

    I actually started playing PUBG again too recently just to give me a bit  of a break from apex.

    As much as i love apex the games just frustrating to play for me this season lol.

    @MandatoryIDtag Yeah i'm in the same situation. Unfortunately i don't like any other BR, tried Warzone but i really couldn't enjoy playing it because of some mechanics ingame and I always hated Fortnite lol. Fortunately TLOU II is coming so i'll be playing that for a while, alongside uncharted 3 and 4 đŸ™Œ.

    @BaldWraithSimp Wait... 120-130 ping? Tell me you mean hertz xD or fps and not a latency of around 1/10th of a second xD.

    @Cro_Pittt is it like CoD team deathmatch or headquarters (1 life until objective is done or team’s death)? In case of deathmatch, frustration will be as low as team deathmatch in cod cause you can just go of on your own skill. If it’s like headquarters, even then frustration will be lower than Apex xD.

    I’ve played many competitive games and apex annoys me the most by far.

    Good that everyone is staying busy. As for me... yup TLOU2 almost here, still gotta play Layers of Fear 2 & RE2/3 remastered so yea... got couple games to keep me occupied for at least 1.5 months.

    Thats not even counting the plethora of Steam games I got from Kickstarter which I never intended to play but still have... next to the thousands of anime 😈 life’s good. LG :P
  • @Koochi-Q  I only know that there is a sort of SnD mode. 25 rounds(yea i'm not joking lmao), each one lasts 100 seconds i think, and the first team to win 13 rounds wins the game. There's also the shorter version of this, with 7 rounds. 

    Apparently there's no sbmm there for now, so you have the risk of getting slaughtered by the pros xD. 

  • @Koochi-Q Well, I was playing on mobile data so the ping will always be high. I get the same on Apex with a cellular data connection. And there is no list of servers on Valorant except the fact that I play on SEA servers. They did say they will add servers in my country in coming future, unlike Respawn/EA.

    And my WiFi is up and working now. So 80-90 ping now. That's the best I get unfortunately due to location differences.
  • @1ronKeys 

    Today, I saw a man whose name contains "hacker". :O

    And yes he was my teammate.

    (But he immediately be killed by the enemy after the drop.)

    Then I saw the teammate of AFK BOT. :O

    You know... it seems that he was using some scripts.

    He only went right and left, then died in the outside of the ring.

    After that I was so pessimistic... đŸ˜˘

    Then I was speaking myself "I saw too many toxic guys today..."

    But then my teammates were really good!

    He said "oh, I am not so toxic 😉".

    Thank you men! You helped me a lot and we won!

  • Had a teammate yesterday who rushed ahead twice. This was in Ranked, as well, so the first time he immediately ran into a house where there were enemies and got downed. We got his banner and revived him, and then he literally did it again.

    He ran off towards Cage, except I followed to make sure he didn’t die. It was kind of funny, since we both turned on our mics at the same time. I told him not to rush ahead, while he was telling us to keep up with him. But then we all died because we got sandwiched between two squads.

  • I think it depends of the hours of the day that you play! Some hours it’s just kids playing for fun. Some hours it’s just adults playing serious game. Try finding golden hours on your server. For instance I usually get much better random teammates early mornings (6-8 am) and late nights (1-2 am) on London servers.

    @Alphabets I'm playing similar times to you but i get this issue.

    I had one gane where 1 of my teammtes seemed equal to me - and we slapped the lobby to pieces.

    I don't even consider myself some great player... but I'm always the best player on my team.
    Any time I get a player or two like myself it's wins.

    @Cro_Pittt I dont have a pc... that I use for gaming at least... but in case it comes to console and there’s still not much mp wise.

    25 rounds XD they really want to keep you on your seats dont they. Lolz I really dont care about SBMM. Due to Apex’ flawed system I’m used to having bonebrained teammates, but at least valorant’s different.

    @BaldWraithSimp ahhh that way. Tell me how matches are going on later on and if you do better 😈 if not 100 push ups! XD.
  • @Koochi-Q I had some good rounds but most of them were bad. I don't stand a chance against the shrouds with their snipers lol.

    25 rounds in Valorant is actually the worst-case scenario when both teams are toe-to-toe. So whoever reaches 13 round wins first and teams will switch between attacker/defender after the half. You can win by 13-0 too lolz. But a match on average takes 30-40 mins. I played for 5 hours straight, took a break to eat then 3 hours again. I am so tired now xD.
    Played Apex for one and a half hours before that too. 🙂

    I haven't played this title for a week after purchasing MK11. And after doing so instantly became annoyed after 2 games. This title by far and I can say this with confidence has the most selfish, absent minded individuals that one has ever had the displeasure of playing with.

    You would figure that people knowingly playing a game that is so heavily reliant on team mechanics would understand this and do anything possible to increase the odds of winning. However with Apex Legends this doesn't even seem to cross the mind of the majority.

    There's ZERO team cohesion with anybody unless playing with premades. An individual has a 5% chance of winning given there are 19 other teams to contest. Toss in bad servers, bad RNG, legend abilities, no teamwork with other variables and it's a wash. The title sounds good on paper. But when executed is just a mess. 

    After playing for the 5th season now will probably hang the title up. There seems to be little to no improvement on how this team based game works. With all technical issues aside that aid in this wreck. The people who play are just the cherry on top. 

    It was a good run while it lasted. However the frustration that comes with is not worth it anymore in my eyes.

    @ColdHours B-but who will we forum dwellers talk to about fun stuff if you’re hanging up the title ☹️ other than that you’re completely right in my eyes, hence why I basically nowadays play anywhere from 5-60 mins a day xD. Mostly 20 tho.

    @BaldWraithSimp you need to get your focus on! You need to get used to playing 12+ hours a day, 7 days a week without getting tired (disclaimer tired of nonsense does not count xD) then you’ll become a full fledged gamer! and inducted into the hall of gamers! :P

    @ColdHours btw Tekken > Mortal Kombat xD
