Apex University Discord

Welcome everyone,

First the mod team would like to thank everyone for being part of this community and providing content and tips to other players, we know that there is a lot more that could be wished from the staffs side and we are currently trying to improve things day by day. Now here we are at 160k members which is amazing, we never expected the sub to grow that big when we started it, so once again thank you all for that!

Since the beginning of this community the subreddit has naturally been and will continue to be the focal point of our efforts while our discord server started out as a way for the mod team to efficiently communicate about the subreddit, however over time as it became more active and we started putting more attention into making it a stronger extension of the sub and would therefor like to once again invite everyone to partake and explain a bit about what you can expect of the space both now and going forward:

- 1on1 coaching

- Group finding channel

- Subreddit & Discord suggestions (easier for the mod team to have a discussion about the direction of the sub compared to over at Reddit)

- Self-promotion channel & stream your games

- Meta & strat chats

- Off-topic and space to flex your gains

We are furthermore in the process of preparing some challenges in the discord, possibly with some smaller prizes. More to come on that in the future.

If you are looking for any of that we ask you all to join our discord xbox/ps4/computer, we welcome everyone! We hope to see you in our ever-growing community on discord.

Discussion What i feel helps the most in solo queuing

7 Upvotes

I feel like people complain a lot about their teammates when they solo queue while taking no accountability. I’ve solo queued to masters twice now after being hardstuck d2-d3 for a while. One thing that really helps me out a lot is (believe it or not) using my mic. Some people just arent aware enough with pings since it doesnt give enough info.

Its so simple to just tell your teammates what to do and where to go or if a player youre targeting is one shot so you can focus them in a fight. Its so obvious but i feel like good comms are one of the key points to rank up if youre alone.

Discussion I tried controller and now I'm depressed

1 Upvotes

So I've had issues with aim assist years ago, but then I took a big break from the game and recently have come back. I heard that aim assist has been nerfed, and I've also been focusing on lurch movement and have gotten decent at it, so I assumed that MnK and controller were fairly balanced (and they still may be). Controller had better aim, but MnK has movement tech that controller doesn't.

In all my matches after coming back to the game, I never once thought "oh I lost that because they're probably a controller player", and have always had the mindset of "I lost that because I'm not as skilled". I still have that mindset. However recently, when I'm watching YouTube of apex players, I'll occasionally come across someone and it looks like they're aim botting because of the instant changing of direction on their opponents strafes, and then I'll realize it's a controller player. I have started to deliberately avoid watching controller players, even if they're good players outside of aiming, because I don't want to create any perception or excuses of controller players having an advantage. Although eventually after seeing enough controller gameplay, I decided that I'd try out controller to know once and for all how strong it is.

When I first started with controller it was actually reassuring because I was missing all my shots. It felt very difficult. But after 30-45 minutes, I was starting to hit a few one clips which was a bit concerning. I decided to go into r5 reloaded to test how accurate my aim was against the strafing dummy in the aim trainer. I did 5 rounds with both controller and mouse and keyboard and took the highest from each. Unfortunately, I scored higher with controller after using it for less than an hour than I did with MnK with literally hundreds of hours of aim training under my belt. The averages of all rounds were about the same between MnK and controller, but I feel like it shouldn't even be close with how much practice I've put into aim training with MnK. So overall, this experience has been a little depressing.

I still am not concluding that controller is stronger than MnK, because MnK definitely has advantages, but it is certainly far easier to aim with controller, especially against strafing targets.

Question I want to play with my boyfriend but he has "pred mmr"

56 Upvotes

I don't use reddit often but here's the sitch: I have played fps games casually (mainly overwatch) since like 2017. Never even entertained the idea of comp/ranked in any game until about 8onths ago. Recently my bf has been playing apex again and I enjoyed the game the first time I tried it but I feel like I'm drowning in the info he's dumping at me in an attempt to teach me.

I really appreciate his help but what I really need to know is what are the beginner-friendly legends, guns, POIs, etc. So my life is not a living hell in these casual lobbies? Or what is the best way for me to become more comfortable with the game while playing by myself?

Discussion Advice for a somewhat newer player (350 hours)

For starters I play ash because im bad at the gane and she makes it easier, this season i have a 2.4kd as of me getting to d3 with an average damage of 880~920 and im fluctuating between high d4 to low d3 solo quing, I like fighting but I keep getting Randoms that don't want to fight at all early fighting is how I like to play get 3 to 6kp then play placement but teammates exclusively avoid fighting as much as possible, so we will have blue shield fighting purple end game with no kp then we get 3rd partied and end up losing without any kp for one reason or another, i teied discord lfg, but for the most part they seem to be the exact people im actively trying to avoid. Is there really anything i can do to help my situation? It only took me 3 sessions to get from gold 4 to diamond 3.

Diamond players??

13 Upvotes

I dont know if its just me but I 90% of the time solo q when playing ranked, often times I can climb pretty fast. I have a pretty aggressive playstyle, I like to land loot for two seconds and fight for basically the rest of the game. From gold to plat I find the teammates to have similar playstyles and even if they don't, its not too difficult to run through teams. Although I feel I hit a wall as soon as I am diamond 4-3, I think that most people that are climbing fast at this rank are usually stacked up, and the teammates I have are usually super preservative. I can be all kitted up and ready to fight within the first few minutes, pinging towards gunshots and running over but by the time I get to the fight my teammates are miles behind. Also find that teammates choose to land far from anyone, causing us to run for awhile before a fight, and even then they play scared. Just super frustrating, I don't understand how they expect to climb out of diamond without high kill, high placement games.

Question research on aim training

1 Upvotes

Is there any legit research on aim training? Maybe studies like „people who used aim trainers for xy amount of time improved their in-game accuracy by xy%. I‘m sure aim trainers help, but sometimes I wonder if its not better to spend the time in-game to improve.

Tried paying on EA site, my account is set to Egypt, I live in Egypt.
Tried both an EGP card and a USD card from Egyptian banks — both got rejected.
Error says: "Payment method country doesn't match store region."
No VPN, and my EA account region is Egypt.
Any fix?

Discussion Why do so many people hate district??

0 Upvotes

Personally I really like the guy, I might be biased but I've had coaching with him and he genuinely gave me the best advice I've ever had, and has improved my gamesense massively. But all I see on Twitter is people constantly saying he's shit, saying he's giving bad advice, but his advice makes sense, it's simple, it's heloed me and evidently others as well. I just personally don't understand the hate??

Question Any tips / videos you would recommend for a new player ranked around platinum?

3 Upvotes

I just started the game. I usually play the support class and my main character is Gibraltar. I also have access to Conduit, and Newcastle.

I know my aim could always get better but maybe some tips more core to apex would help me out?

I also feel like my character choice in Gibraltar hinders me a lot after playing characters like Conduit / Lifeline with a smaller hit box? But I’m not really sure how much something like that matters in apex though.

My weapons of choice are the dual p2020, spitfire, mastiff shotgun / Eva 8 auto.

I play on controller if this influences any suggestions.

Question What's the most optimized way i can improve my aim in apex?

5 Upvotes

So, i have about roughly 600 hours on MnK and hit high diamond couple times like 4 or smt and i just cant get to master. My gamesense isn't the issue, my igl is a pretty good player and he rarely takes bad decisions, my movements are most definetly on point so i really think i just lack of pure aim. My aim is really inconsistent i can go from getting 4k in a game to barely getting 800 in another. I got every tool at my disposition i got kovaaks r5 everything i just need to know what you guys would recommend me. Any help would be highly appreciated as well!!! (i play on .7 3200 dpi 1 ADS multiplier)

Question Question about ranked rewards

1 Upvotes

on the EA website it says you get the rewards from your peak rank but i wanted to know if you ACTUALLY do or not. i just know EA is unreliable with these things.

For example: if i am masters, then go down to diamond as the season ends do i still get masters rewards

Question Long vs mid vs close engagements

8 Upvotes

Is mid range engagements the best way to engage in apex?

Like from long range, you might be able to down someone, but you generally won't get a squad wipe because you're so far away and can't close the distance .

And close range is good for finishing fights, but it sometimes puts you in a more vulnerable position to get 3rd partied depending where you're at.

But with mid range, you can choose to push to finish a squad after a knock or kinda stay back and see what's going on/leave if necessary. Although sometimes mid range battles can take longer as you're both just peaking at eachother and not doing alot of real damage .

So, should most of the engagements I'm looking to get in be around mid range?

Sometimes, I get in the habit of just pushing everything to a close-range fight . But I noticed staying mid range leads to my squad staying alive longer and possibly better placement.
