Fuse's Q feels a little weak. It doesn't really disturb your vision at all, and only does a little damage if you stand in it.

It seems like it was 100% made to gently caress over the Rampart players.

It's me, I'm one of the dozen(s) of Rampart players.

By beautiful happenstance, I happened to get my new pc up and running the first day of this new season.
And after a rough first day getting used to mouse and keyboard it's been going mostly well!



Of course after a few games like that I've suddenly been thrown into pred lobbies.
Seriously though, I went from games where half of the people I'm shooting at just stand still to being teamed up with people with masters trails.
I'm not even level 20 yet! :cry:

And while I'm not holding my breath, I am hoping for cross progress at some point, I miss my obnoxious Horizon cyberpunk skin (and having Horizon for that matter...)

In awe at Rampart's true passive, making your teammates ragequit before the anyone's left the dropship :v:

Used to happen to me all the time on console, haven't noticed it on PC. PC players in general have been a hell of a lot more chill.

Though speaking of my fav. girl, I got my highest ever damage with her last week.

Spitfire/Devotion. It was beautiful.

Also wondering what could've been in this Gibby game. We ended up getting ring camped and my teammates ran off in opposite directions instead of pushing with my bubble. Ah well.

The last few times I played Titanfall I would only call my titan in to try and crush an enemy one, and would leave it on auto while rodeo...ing all the enemy titans.
Not the most effective way of playing, but it was really fun.

The Halloween mode showed that Apex wasn't built around wall running, and if they for whatever reasonthey decide to put it in the game, only giving it to one character would be horribly broken.
Maybe it'll be in a special arena like the boxing.

I mean, even before it was an auto revive, her shield was like, the best thing she had going for her, no wait, she used to heal faster as well. :cry:
I'm glad I've gone from all Lifeline all the time to split between her and Rampart, because while Rampart isn't all that useful, she is fun.This doesn't sound useful or fun!

I mean the new legend does seem to have been teased.
https://twitter.com/32Beatdown/status/1382380319312121856

Oh boy, another hovering legend.

Spoilers for datamined abilities
Tactical - Cluster Missile
Fire a rocket that explodes multiple times.

Passive - VTOL Jets
Hold jump to initiate VTOL Jets - allows hovering in the air.

Ultimate - Skyward
Press once to prepare for launch. Teammates can interact with Valk to join the launch. Press again to launch into the air and skydive.
Note: Vertical clearance is required.

Though that tactile does just sound like Fuse's so maybe something has changed.

The hemlock got nerfed not so much by the damage change but because they made the hipfire spray about randomly.
With a good sight it still murders mid range.

301 is slightly more expensive!
I always go spitfire first round*, then flatline, if the game is dragging on though I do feel the 301 is a slight step up.

God, the :qq: in the apex reddit is something else.

Look how overpowered Seer is! *posts a video of a scenario where they were absolutely fuckt regardless*
Like, wow, Seer interrupted the phoenix kit you somehow thought you could get off in middle of combat, I guess the octane that was already flying in on you is just part of Seer's fault as well.
Seriously, every "Seer is OP" video on there is some 1v3 pushing uphill poo poo.

idk, Seer could use a narrower funnel or longer cooldown and whatever, but those reactions are wild.

And just, imagine being this salty and sad about fuckin' cosmetic melee weapons.

Looks like you get about 200 for level 500 and just over twenty for every season.

According to that, for two battle passes and level 500 I'm halfway to heirlooms.

Storm Point is too large, too many awkward choke points, too much time is spent looking for a fight, that's not really a problem in World's Edge, because everyone drops around fragment.
Also dropping fragment is cool and good.
Storm Point ranked works better than regular, it really just needs a few terrain tweaks, and while not a great map, it's not a bad one.

The only bad map is Kings Canyon ranked.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:

I am extremely sad that the "ring is always closing" mode was forever delayed due to technical issues and they never bothered to test it out, because I think the game needs that for ring 1.

Always Be Closing has been its own mode and part of others. It's the 'ring shrinks everytime someone dies' that never made it into the game.

what champion will provide the most utility to my friends, given that I can't shoot well?

If you're still learning the game, lifeline, maybe bloodhound.
Lifeline can heal and call in upgraded shields and weapon attachments, and has a drone that can pick up downed people so you can still fight... just be mindful of where you rez.
Bloodhound can track and has a scan, information is honestly really important. Like yeah, you need to shoot well, but your placement and knowledge of where your opponents are is key.
Don't be afraid to try any character honestly, but a lot of them are complicated if you're just learning the basics.

So I'm kind of curious, why exactly does catalyst not like seer?

Seer went to do some puff piece interview and ended up being blindsided by questions of why he's doing nothing to help his home planet.
So he went to Silva to discuss having the games moved to Boreas, but instead Silva put them on the moon Cleo.

Catalyst meanwhile had been part of a team working and living on Cleo, trying to stabilize and heal it so it doesn't fall apart, everyone that was a part of that was fired and sent back so the Apex games could take place on the crumbling moon instead.

It seems likely Seer was being manipulated by Silva from the get go.

And yeah, there is the whole thing about people on Boreas viewing Seer as cursed, because he was born when the moon was struck, but he was also a popular arena fighter before going to the Apex Games. :shrug:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHWlJlMkTcg

Oh yeah, also Silva is Octane's immortal grandfather, posing as Octane's dad.
He's also the one that got Maggie into the games and blamed the Olympus teleportation on her. Probably had something to do with the giant lobster as well.

They have a view voice lines in game, like, she might still roll her eyes at his words, but realizes he's not the villain she'd imagined.
