Toxics and tryhards are the ones who keep the game alive

It's not a fear of judgment. I'm far too self-possessed to worry about what anyone else will think of my play style. I honed it over tens of thousands of matches and it now does exactly what I want it to do - just not what anyone else wants it to do. No, with me it's more that I don't like to let down people who have a more traditional play style than I do. I really can't help them with their match goals and it's very unlikely that they could help me with mine.

As for the firing range 1v1: again, you flatter me, but one on one game play is probably the worst kind there is in all of first person shootery. Halo customs taught me that in general the guy who gets the first kill is the guy who will get all of them, and my patience with that kind of game play is just about zero, even in the rare instances where I'm the bulldozer.

No, my friend, trust me when I say the most fun I can provide anyone is right here on the forums.

With all that having been said, if you want to send me an invite sometime then you can send it here:

If I don't respond it only means that my previous squadmates for the day have already got me in a mood and I don't want to "pay it forward." But eventually I'll take you up. Trios or Bots. I'm sure there's too much of a skill disparity for us to be able to play ranked - probably at all, but certainly not effectively. Can you imagine a teammate in ranked who won't even drop with you??? Yeah, I'm that guy. If I have my mic on then I'll explain in great detail why I'm doing what I do and moreover, why I won't do what others are doing. But in my experience teammates take very little comfort in explanations no matter how well-reasoned they are.

We could play some 1v1 firing range for fun if u wanna also regardless of all the things u said I rlly wont judge u or anything like that hell I wont be even mad if we went on a long losing streak cuz who cares I just got my **bleep** handed to me in YGO master duels ranked 5 times in a row and I still wanna play it again lol for me its not about winning at all its about the stories you gonna live and the decisions u gonna make then learning from those whether they were good or bad ya know. I have been playing apex and master duel for almost more than five years now and I have lost about %75 of the matches and my **bleep** is still stubborn af lmao 🤣🤣

You flatter me, but let me tell you why I am the last person on earth you want on your squad. I won't drop with you. I will solo around the edge of the circle while you're in the center of the map taking on three other squads with just one teammate. A teammate who only started playing Apex two days ago. If by some miracle you make it to the final three then you just have to hope that I don't find any of my fairly lengthy list of deal-breakers. The most common deal-breaker: the new guy couldn't hack it, quit the match, and now I'm looking at an inevitably speed-boosted three man enemy squad. They don't have better position or game awareness, but now, thanks to Flash-style movement, they don't need any of those things. And I will quit before they can get a single bullet on me. And you'll be left alone to your inevitable doom.

And it does not matter if this is bots, pubs, or ranked. They're all exactly the same to me. I really am anybody's nightmare teammate.

Interesting take, I came to realize that most people who use skirmishers only use them for the shortly lived fun. They will probably consider using another legend (when things get real) whose abilities do actually make a big difference and contribute to the team (support, recon etc...). I was burnt out after sticking only to Axle for a short 2-3 days and now whenever I play I mostly dont pick her up at all. btw can I ask for your xbox gt pls 🙂owo I rlly wanna play sum with ya bro

"is she that op though"

Eye of the beholder. I have to admit that judgments made this early in her lifespan are suspect. I myself have used a lot of drama in my description of her and her potential effect on the game. But, at least for now, my initial judgment still stands: it isn't that she herself is necessarily overpowered or not. It's that she represents another pretty big step on the path to making this game so fast that a normal human being can't even comprehend what is going on around them, much less react to it. Respawn themselves coined the phrase "battlefield legibility." She is a pox on battlefield legibility. It would be one thing if it was just her, but it's her entire squad and quite often one or two enemy squads in the fray, all of whom, for now, have an Axle of their own. That's how many nitro gates in a given engagement? Too many. Too many players careening around as if it's Wildcard with an entire squad of Octanes running speedboost and hoverboards. Where can that end? How can any normal player respond to that except with an aimbot?

All I can say is that I have a short list of legends who, if I see them on the enemy team during the final circle, are deal-breakers and will cause me to quit the match. Right now she's on that list. She may not stay there forever. But right now I'm in no mood to deal. Or rather, I don't have an aimbot, so I can't hit her or her squad, and there's no point in my bearing witness to the atrocity. So I don't. The only legend previously that I felt that way about and wasn't wrong to, was the buffed Ash. I would still be quitting Ash finals if they hadn't toned her down a little. It also helped that people stopped using her when the novelty wore off. As you predicted will happen with Axle. Let's hope.

hmmm is she that op though I personally dont think so, I believe whats gonna happen is; peeps not gonna pick her as much when her bubble dies out and then shes gonna get buffed when her pick rate drop this has been literally the case with almost every single skirmisher. Another thing. Im almost positive she was meant to be much more powerful at launch during playtesting but then she was tuned down after launch just to make sure she wont drive players away. Like Im almost sure she has 2 tacs with lower cooldown when they did the numbers but decided to wait a lil bit to see whether or not the current version would be enough for her to keep up with others and as I said earlier people will most likely stop picking her up as much soon and will go back to their mains and this is when she will probably get buffed if anything

"fun and addicting"

Well, at least you understand what they're up to with her. Just don't be heartbroken when she gets her inevitable nerf next season.

I really love Axle honestly, She looks great and her abilities are amazing imo. I even bought the spicy lookin skin with the special intro animation almost day one and I have never done that in my whole apexing journey. I have never been into skirmishers before her. Mostly because they felt very basic and casual friendly. I used to play assault, Recon and sometimes controller for the most part as they feel like there is some kind of skill level that you actually need to achieve rather than just go from A to B and then Axle came out just recently and I fell in love with her. Shes like a hybrid of assault and skirmish classes in a very cool way. I literally feels like Im riding & drifting on a fricking motor while fighting when I get the chance to pick her and it just feels so fun and addicting. For me it feels like I was playing on 30 FPS and when I play with her everything is so smooth and fast as if I began to play at 120 and then being unable to come back to my low frames monitor lol

Forge mode in Infinite was alone worth the price of admission, but I've never once gone into multiplayer. Not one single match. I forge to this day, but only because they finally added the ability to play bots on your own maps.

Guardians was the last Halo where I actually tried to get something out of team slayer. For the better part of the first two years. And here's how slow I am: it took me all that time to realize that the game was essentially unplayable on a legacy button layout. Couldn't charge or ground pound. Couldn't even melee or use a grenade properly. I could throw one or aim it but not both at the same time. My own ineptitude aside, that game was shockingly like Apex in that it doubled down on complex motion and speed. I guess some people liked it but it certainly never achieved the success of its predecessors. And now Apex gets faster and faster with each season, as if that's the thing that will bring people back, or make those who have stayed less bored. Pretty sure they're wrong on both counts. Axle is a travesty. Or so says me.

I agree that MS dont make dem games like they used to but Halo infinite is very fun to play its so smooth and slick and the movement feels so good, Although I prefer the blocky feeling of Halo 5, too bad its dead expect at a very specific time and modes though I have never managed to find a single game even though I want to real bad, Halo 5 was the second game I played ever on the xbone after Fallout 4, I still remember waiting for days just to get it installed as my internet used to be super slow and the game itself is very large in size (over 100GB I believe). At that time my aim and game sense was so bad too obviously as it was literally my first time trying out an online shooter. I wanna play it again to see how much I evolved. I also noticed that apex made my aim as well as my game sense so much better to the point where Im literally playing some games for the first time and still dominating players whom levels and time spent is way more lol
