I have never felt this superfluous in a game of Apex before. At least I kept them topped up on ammo?

I guess because everyone likes Horizon it's time for me to ask this. Does her passive actually do anything?

* Move at full speed while healing in midair
* THANKS JUMPJETS!
* Loot and shoot a full second earlier on landing
* ANOTHER SOFT LANDING!

Loba's tactical is great as is - you have time to grab a quick snack waiting for the animations to end.

Years ago in League, they killed off a champ for a plot thing, and he was briefly un-selectable as a champion (the tooltip literally said "Gangplank is dead").

I want Caustic's gas to do 20 damage a tick, just for a day, is what I'm saying.

Same with our beautiful boy Skeleton King in dota :rip:

Does anyone know the voice actor behind Maggie? She sounds very much like Rachel House from Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Soul, and others.

It's not officially listed anywhere, but someone on the reddit said the same thing about it sounding like her.

I treat the L-STAR like an SMG and it works pretty well. Just wish it dropped with ammo.

So I take it they aren't bringing back quick heal to Gibby's shield then either?

Hopefully they add it to Horizon's tac, she's really been hurting since her nerf.

Just give her ult the warpfall-style drop from TF|2 and make its impact an instakill.

I fully support adding an explosive ammo type if it gets us closer to the Sidewinder.

Stop playing solo and start playing with goons.

There are console players in the Discord too if that’s the concern.

A lot of PC goons would probs play with console players. I have, it was fine.

So for those of us who never played titanfall, can anyone give me some backstory as to this new Northstar business? I watch the video and the comments on youtube were full of people chiming off different catch phrases they want to be used for her ult but there wasn't really a lot of explanation as to why she would be in the Apex games?

Viper was also memed really hard, hence the catchphrases.

I played with some PC mates on my PS4. I didn't really notice anything out of the ordinary re: clamping/getting clamped

Aim assist evens things out, but really any remaining gaps in performance are more than negated by the benefits of being on VOIP and following the team.

it's probably better to release new characters in games too strong then dial back

That only works if you actually do the dialing back in a reasonable timeframe, otherwise you end up with one legend being absolutely dominant for two whole seasons.

You are the developer of a highly successful multiplayer online game. You notice your QA and servers cannot handle the upcoming release. Do you:
1. Scale them both up and keep your players happy (turn to page 38)
2. gently caress it, why spend the money? They player counts will go back to normal in a few days and the idiots will keep buying your $20 gun skins (turn to page 101)

imo this is a failure of game design. one of the things teamfortress2 did perfectly was silhouettes, i even watched some design videos about how important that was for them, and a lot of what's been going on in apex lately is straying from that line

Faced an arena team today that used the cat Wraith and Octane skins which are almost impossible to distinguish. Really annoying to not be able to tell if that's the person you just cracked when you're trying to engage.

I dont like the arena matches where no one wants to engage its not very fun

There's apparently three copies each of the "20 arena sniper knocks" and "10k arena sniper damage" battlepass challenges so this is by design :shrug:

What guns should I be using, provided I have the opportunity?

Flatline and R-301 are the all rounders, I generally like to have at least one and then a long or short range secondary.

Skulltown but it's 25% size so the buildings are waist height.

I don't like it, every round turns into a standoff across the bridge and rushing is almost impossible.
