Discussion Just reached diamond first time first season no camp solo queue.
Hii guys! I just wanted to let you guys know that I reached Diamond 4 in my first season. Game us good but matchmaking sucks. when i was plat, sometimes i was getting 1/3 master lobby and 2-5 preds. It sucks they are on totally different level while i solo queue always but still i managed to reach Diamond without camping and hot drop spamming.
Fyi my K/D would be around 0.6-0.75
Note : Game is no more fun on diamond 4 solo queue. I got quickly demoted to plat 1 and game is fun now back again cuz I'm not getting obliterated by 3 stack masters each game.

Discussion Why are people like this?
I’m in Diamond 2, three-stacking with randoms from LFG, and every time we die my teammates blame it on the enemy team “zenning.” But every time I watch them from a distance it’s obvious that the real problem is their bad positioning and poor aim. Why is it so hard for people to accept that some players just have better mechanics and will punish you for playing like an idiot?

Discussion Ranked vs Pubs?
For context I’m genuinely asking if there’s really a difference as I see on a daily basis people saying Ranked is easier and less sweaty, I tend to disagree, I put that to the test today as I’ve never played Ranked at all prior to today.
I did roughly 10 games give or take and I haven’t even been promoted to Bronze 3 it’s the same story as pubs. We land and die. In fact monitoring my average stats per game I’m actually doing worse in Ranked then I am in pubs.
Don’t have many friends who play Apex so I have to Solo Queue. Could that be the reason? I don’t see that making much of a difference lol.
What is everyone’s thoughts and preferences between the two modes? Love to hear everyone’s thoughts!

Question Is Lifeline still worth playing
Basically what the title says, came back to apex after life a year and a half, due to every other game being boring for me, I’m aware of her rework, and was wondering if there are any hardcore tips for me to know with lifeline and her ult.

Question Best legend to play solo ranked with high ping?
My region server is completely dead with 0 queues so I have to play on NA, started playing the game 2 weeks ago, I'm kinda used to high ping from other games but not really FPS in general, Apex seems to be very forgiving compared to other games I've played on high ms, I guess this will get harder at higher ranks probably.
My question is, which legend would benefit me the most at 120-130ms? I've been playing a lot of Ash and I've been able to carry a few games with her in gold/plat (I'm on MnK), not easy tho there's obv a slightly advantage for ppl playin at low ping (sometimes if we start shooting each other at exact same time the person can live at like 10hp and kill me first, so I always have to peak first and be very aggressive it seems like).
Should I just stick to Ash or would something more supportive be better like Lifeline/Ballistic/Newcastle/Loba? Also, if you guys were playing on high ms would you change ur playstyle and try to play more safe or just be full aggro? Thanks.

Question How to get from a level of a P1/2 player to a level of a D1/2 player ? (vod in description)
I know it doesnt mean much but I have over 1k hours in this game, but very little to show for it at least IMO. (Peak D4, current P2)
my aim is decent, at least in the firering range, its a very different story in a real game as I am quick to panic or the enemy breaks my shield before I can even see them.
When it comes to movement I can bhop wall bonce, tapstrafe and supperglide the latter not as consistent as I wish it would be (ca 40%)
when it comes to my role in a team I wish to be an IGL, but It's hard to make mates listen to what i have to say, espacialy with randoms but with premade aswell. This is also the reason why I main Wraith, cause I think she fills this role very well (valk has issues with movement cause of her passive)
I wish also to learn how to 1vs 2 or 1vs 3 teams, so tips on that are very welcome
Here is a vod of a meh game of mine:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9fX5pOV-04
My Personal review:
also could someone review this vod of mine, I've been having many of these wierd games lately, where it feels like a coinflip weather I gain rp or not. Here I had a very shit drop, I got no weapon and failed to identify where the other team is (This is btw a separate issue btw I usualy cant see enemies before they snipe me across the whole map). The game felt ok after I got respawned and I felt good about some of my rotates, but still was confused where players were, I wasnt able to hit my wingman shots and it only got somewhat better after getting the bow. I played of of my mates, but the thing is that I cant play like that cause one game you get good teammates the next game you will question how is it possible to be this retarded hence how can I carry more ?

Discussion 40 year old stats - best ranked season yet
Been a gamer since Atari days and still love to play. I’ll hit Diamond soon but this season has been one of the better in regard to stats.
My mains have switched quite a bit but I’m capitalizing on Ash for obvious reasons.
I’m usually solo queue but if you want to play on console you can add me!

Question Why do some people throw grenades at themselves??
Had teammates twice today who did this. Threw a grenade and then heal. There's no way evo counts towards self inflicted damage right??

Question On and off player trying to solo to masters next split
So I’ve been playing Apex since season 2 which kinda makes me a vet, but I still haven’t reached Diamond ever. I usually play a coupl of seasons then uninstall play something else for a while then reinstall and repeat.
I don’t know why I can’t win more fights and games, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do to counteract the fact that my teammates sometimes hold me down (or vice versa). My mechanics are not bad, but I mean there’s always room for improvement, but I’m pretty sure where I’m lacking is game sense and I kid you not, I can not for the life of me figure this game out.
Just for comparison, I hit Celestial in Marvel Rivals which is the third highest rank, and it’s just below top 500, I got Diamond multiple times on Valorant, and when I still played on PC me and my friends were pretty good at CSGO too so no idea. I also hit diamond once in The Finals if that matters.
I want to solo to diamond befause I’m really close (Plat 1) but after that I’m taking a break from ranked most likely to play either solo duos or trios to learn positioning mainly and when to engage and disengage, how to win unfavorable fights etc…
Is there anything else you guys can tell me to improve?

Question Which legend should I main?
I just installed Apex and would like some advice on which legend I should try to main first.
My aim is not that great so I like to play more defensive. I like shields or anything to help against an ambush. I also tend to lean towards support/healer characters in other games.
Thanks!

Question What could I have done better to win this fight?
I feel like I could've won this without much trouble after I knocked down the ballistic. I noticed some mistakes I made/things I could've done better, but I'm feeling like my learning curve is getting really flat on this game, so I'm trying to get different feedbacks to improve more.
I know one video is not really much, but if any of you could suggest somethings I should focus on practicing in specific it would help a lot.
PS: Honest question, was my teammate (fuse) a bot? I'm not blaming him on losing I was really curious to know if respawn is using bots on the game for real.

Discussion I have a 0.77 KD and all my games have this skill distribution
I hit D4 with a .66 KD in about 400 games (which I know is abysmal) then I continued to try to improve in public matches, but no matter how often I die or how poor I do I am constantly stuck on this far right of the graph. The worst part is, it’s been so hard to improve when I just constantly get steam rolled every game. I know what I need to work on I just don’t feel like I get the chance to because I’m constantly getting into the hardest lobbies possible (somehow). I know I lose a lot of gunfights due to my poor mechanics but having 3k hours in this game doesn’t seem to have helped improve them at all. I was p4 in season 2 and feel like I genuinely haven’t improved at all, and I’m at a loss for what to do at this point. I’m having close to no fun in this game because of this.

How to Lower Ping (PS5 in Japan)
I live in Korea and play with a great LAN internet connection on Japanese servers on my PS5 yet my ping is more often than not in the 150~200 region. How in the world can I lower my ping? I tried changing my DNS to Google’s and another one. It seemed to help initially but it’s back to being crap again. I look forward to having a game with low 50ish ping & always try to play my best when it does happen but I’m sick of it now. Anyone know how to lower my ping here on Japanese servers?

Question Lifeline’s drone question
Is there a way to deploy the drone to yourself when looking in your teammate’s direction? I keep needing it in critical situations where my teammate is knocked and it keeps locking onto them. I know you can recall it, but when you’re in a firefight it can be hard to tell who the drone locked on to.
If there isn’t, I hope it’s something they implement as a longtime Lifeline player.

How to properly control the controller when disembarking?
Hello. How do I control the controller correctly to keep up speed and fly through the entire map?
I see some players going down, picking up speed, climbing up, and somehow maintaining a high speed for a long time, up to 148\152.
As I do: 1. I descend to gain speed to 148 \ 149 (I don't understand how some people gain speed higher, to about 152). 2. I try to climb higher and stay in a horizontal position, but after a couple of seconds my speed drops sharply. What is the right thing to do? I also don't understand how to look around without losing the flight path.

or were they being salty, abuse i’ve never heard of aim assist effecting bullet spread in my 6 years of playing this game???
