MyChemicalImbalance posted:Worst pubbie behaviour I've had was the octane who didn't do poo poo in bloodhounds trials but wait until the final alcove opened before throwing a jump pad underneath me and the other dude and taking all the loot. Can't wait for that one goon to come into the thread proudly proclaiming he does this too and its actually fine and good.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:After they bopped Skull Town, KC played terribly. What I took away from it was that having POIs relatively evenly distributed in popularity and fairly close to each other creates third party hell. It seems to me that most maps actually need a Fragment/Hammond Labs type area to thin the herd and have the highly-aggressive (and generally fairly coordinated and skilled) players eliminate each other early. "fairly coordinated and skilled" ... "Dropping fragment" Hmmmmmm

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Anecdotally, because their playerbase has already cratered. On Tueday pretty much everyone who played Apex on my friends list was playing it. On Wednesday it was about 30% of the people. Yesterday it was the usual gang of pretty hardcore players who go all season and all have decent badges. "cratered" https://steamcharts.com/app/1172470

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I mean when I say "cratered" I just meant that it had a big influx of people, who then left. That's clearly not the case on the PC side - it's declining by only ~5k or so on peak hours. So you can say "hey that's wrong" about what I said, I ain't gonna take it personally. Doesn't change the fact that I had some easy wins on Tuesday but by Thursday it was regressing back to being mostly very coordinated squaded up good players, and that the game literally always follows this pattern of "more casual interest around season starts and events". What is likely happening is you had some good matches you did well in and your mmr went up and now you are being matched against better players. Even unranked has SBMM.

Easiest way to get settings very similar, I've found, is I make my entire mouse pad equivalent to one full 360 in game. It's about 14". Don't need any fancy tools to do it, slide it from one end to the end and adjust settings accordingly.

I cannot possibly disagree with something more. Mouse acceleration is a disease and causes players to miss reaction shots under pressure because the speed at which you flick is never consistent. What is consistent is mouse distance.

man in the eyeball hat posted:while I don't disagree that it's easier to play with it off I think muscle memory is the real key. Its another variable. And no doubt could you possibly get good or even proficient at it, it will almost certainly have a lower skill ceiling than playing without. Can you tell me for a FACT that you can move your mouse from position A to position B with the EXACT same speed every single time? I have no doubt you can move from position A to position B within a fraction of an inch every time, but at the same speed, consistently throughout your movement as well? Its just not realistic. There is a reason there are barely ANY pro players who play with mouse acceleration. When using a substitute for real world controls, acceleration is not natural to our perception of translation, what is is a consistent scaling of distance to rotation. If you enjoy playing with mouse accel on, sure go for it, have fun. But it has a serious limitation in consistency, and most people would be better served to play at a low sens, with accel off.

man in the eyeball hat posted:I edited my post, but there are CSGO pros who play with mouse acceleration. They probably use custom acceleration curves so it's not the default setting from Windows, but it is possible. https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/5-cs-go-professionals-use-mouse-acceleration-settings Yes they exist. Do you know why this article was written? Because it's so unusual. There is almost no data to suggest its actually better, and I think if the overwhelming majority of players don't use it, when their job is to literally click heads, its safe to assume its probably not secretly the cats meow. Maybe there will be some emerging data to suggest its actually rad and good but as it stands now all we have are a small contigent of pro players and a bunch of anecdotals from people who turned it on and then specifically aim trained with it for months. That's not data and its not surprising that they got better when they put in that amount of effort.

Kazinsal posted:It's 100% like the dudes who still play with their keyboards rotated almost 90 degrees. They got used to it when you had four square feet of desk space at LAN parties and that was it. Some pro players are just dudes who have been playing games. But the pro scene is insanely competitive now, and a multi-million dollar industry (maybe even billion these days). If there were a better way to aim we would be seeing players coming out of the wood work. poo poo Korea basically pays people to live in a house and train on games, don't you think they would have solved this by now and had all their players switch to mouse accel if its some secret sauce?

repiv posted:Lots of CS:GO pros play with 4:3 resolutions stretched out to 16:9 because they swear it makes them play better (then they die on LAN because they have no peripheral vision) There are lots of shooters other than cs:go and the majority of big scenes players don't do this anymore. The biggest issue is people say that this new mouse acceleration is not the same as windows acceleration but still completely fail to say why that is better than none at all. And if we're gonna talk about cargo culting, why is this new mouse acceleration better because some old quake players used to use it?

Loba is a bad character anyway that encourages all of the wrong kind of play. Her ult is sorta useful if your team is absolutely terrible at looting well on their own. It teaches players to use only specific weapons which causes then to flounder if they can't get their perfect load outs. It alerts nearby enemies because it's loud and gives a huge visual. It allows enemies to swoop loot if they take it too. Ultimately your giving up a character with a good tactical and better ultimate because you are bad at looting efficiently and mag dump often without landing shots. I would 9 times out of 10 get a teammate who is anyone but loba because chances are when I get a loba all they want to do is loot for ten hours until they get all the perfect attachments, they never want to fight and when they do they are pretty much useless.

Chemmy posted:Early game you really reduce RNG with Loba. You arrive at a second potentially contested POI and from cover you can yank that purple shield and the purple light mag. Everything you've described is more or less useless in a fight. Dropping smart means you can pretty well overcome rng load out trash and If you have time to set down a loba ult and use it to swap or get bats and the other team doesn't punish you, it's not that loba was good, it's that they were bad. You know what else let's me swap and get bats from death boxes? My legs. I can I do it safer, quicker and stealthier in almost any situation other than a very select few edge cases. If Loba is your favorite character, you should really try games like Call of Duty, you can get your favorite load out every time on spawn!

xtal posted:I'll post some other Loba tricks I use that give her some benefit I don't think you're considering. Though these are good, specifically #1, I'd still prefer literally any other legend to both play as and as a teammate. Even in spite of getting all the best loot, lobas are consistently dropping pathetic numbers in my games. And anyone who is very very good with Loba, I bet they would do even better as someone else in the long run. Of course maxing damage and winning games isn't the only metric for fun

xtal posted:Also, I've never done this before, but I want to experiment with using Black Market to body block or shield. It only has 100 hp but you can use it to block doors or briefly block corridors as it can't be ran through (bunker on king's canyon springs to mind) especially if you are just trying to separate a team from a downed teammate. It'd probably work. Speaking of can watson ult block?
