I was low-key thinking of posting about the new Apex patch. I can’t believe they took fast heals because of the new revive lol. They were afraid keeping both would make her op.

One of my biggest fucking peeves in video game patches is when something is preemptively addressed before it even has a chance to be a problem. It’s the video game version of arresting someone for thought-crime lol.
Lifeline lost the best passive in the game for something that does nothing unless your homebody is bleeding out on the ground. No passive until being downed was one of the main things that made old mirage trash lol. Eve then it’s tied to her tactical with it’s 45 second CD.
Then they nerfed zip line jumping because trying to dodge bullets is apparently a crime facepalm 
Edit: Portal nerf is also trash.
Yeah I’m not sure how they come up with some of their decision making. Kind of the same problem we have in fighting games. They kneecap good characters instead of just buffing the lower tiers.
They did great with mirage and hopefully the octane buffs work out. Still scratching my head over lifeline because she has no mobility option or anything like wraith or path. Maybe they’ll revert it back.
Wraith can now see during phasing but it now takes 1.5 seconds to activate and she’s now slowed during the startup. I already got melted trying to use it before lol.
Looks at a pile of the changes I made in Stadium 2.
Hahaha… yeah, stupid devs. What were they thinking? 
In completely different news, looks like P4G already has some nice modding going on. That’s interesting.
Lol the buffed Mirage and he got nerfed in this patch too. You can see his cloak things (those glow rings on his arms) inside 5m. Never saw anyone complaining about his ult yet here we are.
Not sure what to make of the wraith changes. Phase change definitely looks like it will shake things up, but then in the same patch they hard nerfed her portal (the main reason she is picked at high level). Seems pretty obvious Wraith won’t catch a break still her pick and win rate drop off a cliff lol.
Lifeline, Wraith, and Wattson were 3 characters I used a bunch and they all got clapped smh. And now I gotta actually fight people for Octane.

Wtf why nerf mirage??? He finally becomes decent and they do that. I started using him alot more before last patch, looks like that’s about to be a wrap.
And yeah be ready the random solo octanes are about to be every fucking where. Using speed boost and double jump to come steal all the loot after not putting in any work lol.

Yeah Octane is about to be everywhere like pre-patch Path.
Octane/Bloodhound/Crpyto/Bang looking to be my main rotation. I might give Rev another try but me and him just don’t mesh. They killed my gurl Ajay and it seems pretty clear that they don’t want me using Wraith or Wattson.
Edit: oh yeah and more Caustic. He’s stupid as fuck now.

I got told about PC online being broken on that same discord.
Unless it’s a different server? Shouldn’t be, the one I am talking about even has actually Krispy Kaiser as a member. That’s as official as it gets.
Those all are decent characters to use, I thought about picking up crypto but I think he almost needs to be played with a actual squad. He needs teamwork.
Revenant is pretty much the same, like I need all my teammates to use the totem and push with me. Plus I can’t seem to get much use out of his silence tactical.
And fuck caustic, my brother mains him and bang. I like having him on my team but hate playing against him. It’s frustrating how easily he can control space and put you in a shitty situation.
Been using bloodhound, mirage, octane for fun and Gibby for ranked. I solo’d to plat and now just gonna play pubs since I’m going up against diamond 3 stack teams now occasionally lol.
PS- they nerfed Gibby’s fast heal inside the dome down to 15%, and they nerfed the dome itself last patch. No one is safe. So all the haters can leave him alone now.
And you can cancel caustics gas traps if you shoot them before they fully inflate so I guess I’m okay with the patch now lol
Nigga, what part of placebo effect you dont get lmao.
I solo’ed to Plat 4 but haven’t had much time to climb higher.
Crpyto is definitely better with a squad but he isn’t terrible with randoms. The majority of people playing are definitely trash tho.
Rev is weird because like I said me and him don’t mesh. I always gets fucking beamed using him, and at least pre-patch I found Death Totem awkward to use. His climb tactical is ass and fast crouch walk is so mediocre lol. Not bad but not “why I pick him” tier either.
Caustic is straight up cancer lol. I used him one game last week to complete challenges and I was kill leader like 90% of the match. The only reason we lost is because my teammates ran outside of the locked down building we had for seemingly no reason and their deathbox was blocking my optimal exit route lol. They did nerf him by making the traps shootable as they inflate but that feels insignificant. Most times you aren’t throwing the traps right on people since that is literally what his ult does lol. He’s still basically impossible to push if he’s locked in a bunker.
I don’t enjoy playing Mirage and Gibby so their changes are whatever to me, and I’m still happy Path isn’t literally everywhere now. Still feels like they are nerfing way more than buffing tho.

That one was always a “chicken/egg” thing to me.
Did I land a hit because it’s lagging or is it lagging because I landed a hit?

I landed a hit, then it rolled back and the guy jumped over me.
That’s like Divekick levels of bad rollback.

You know what pisses me off the most about all this?
We’ve had good netcode for what? A decade now? And these stubborn JP pricks would rather reinvent the wheel instead of paying a license fee to some gaijins.

GGPO is a not catch all solution for every game you know.
It works great for SFIII and games designed from the ground to work around what the tool offers.
But there is a reason why it didnt work for a lot of other games when they tried to brute force it to them.
I prefer developers making their own netcode that satisfies their vision for their game rather than limiting themselves to work around a netcode developed for SFIII.
That is how we got the KI netcode, and the recent MoTW netcode for example.
