Apex Legends |OT| You kill me, you're better. I kill you, I'm better.

I'd go further than saying this is the best BR game ever made, honestly I'd say best competitive multiplayer in the last 5 years. What do you guys think?
Alright, I know it's early to be crying "overpowered" but Bloodhound is either my exact perfect legend or something is up. Averaging 3-4 kills per match with them and barely 2 with everyone else (I'm level 20).
Their abilities mean you can always surprise people and in this game that's so important. The ult makes them unstoppable at midrange and last for ages.
If anyone is getting a nerf early on, it's going to be Bloodhound.

True that about triple take, but I'm always grasping for heavy.
Same for me. Been playing this weekend off and on, earlier today I was feeling a little put off due to the struggle even though I had a five kill match earlier today. Then logged in this afternoon, had two beasts carry me to my first win as they ran the map, pulled third after my team all dropped immediately, won again carrying two newer guys (with a squad kill to res both my guys, then getting a mastiff and flanking the last squad for a wipe), and just got 4th with only a duo where the other guy didn't even fire a shot.
That last one is probably my favorite honestly, because I had a well scoped scout and was set up on the back end of a valley where the action really broke out, only had one kill but over 500 damage and watched two squads eliminated by the mosh pit of action.
A big part of it for me was realizing that almost all guns are good when used in thr right situation. The 45 is a killer for hip firing for example, so keep moving, jumping, and spraying. The game is heavy on mid range weapons though, despite many conflicts initiating at long range or in corridors. I wonder if they'll rebalance bullet drop and/or bullet velocity to account for this or just see if the meta solves it for them.
i luv when u land in a hotspot. And ur teammate just takes all the weapons, leaving u unarmed surrounded by 2 squads
Three wins today, it's starting to click! Thought for sure after the first win that it was a fluke.
How did you guys not get bored all that time? Like I run around like a maniac looking for others and going in the direction of fights.Very skillful win.
Roadmap shows we get a new Legend, Weapons, Loot and a Battlepass per season. First season is next month so not that long.
I love when I get a hard earned kill, and my teammates loot the corpse dry before I can get anything.
You'll want all of them I'm sure. I expect the Battle Pass to provide ample opportunities to acquire more credits. Just don't spend them on anything but characters and I bet you will be fine.
My friend and I just play fairly patient, and so did the random we paired up with. This particular match though, I swear we couldn't find anyone anyhow! We never saw an enemy after the drop.
The content in game. It would appear and disappear at random. For example the Hemlock skin would be there then it would be factory the next game and gone until a random other game where I could select it again.
I found that my real standout skill off thr drop is being a better puncher than others. Thanks God Hand, Elder Scrolls, etc.! Had one crap drop I turned around for my whole squad by punching down two of a three man squad while my teammates shot the other one.
I won't go somewhere completely different but I will break and go far enough away to maximize looting coverage.
I've found a decent number of people just want to either go lone wolf or run super spicey right out of thr gate though. I don't let it get to me and treat those rounds as my chance to practice survival/stealth tactics.
Damn, just had a brutal session. Played as a duo and our third was consistently baffling, splitting from our drop into the middle of fucking nowhere to die, dropping and not finding rifles at all, a concentrated area that was 75% mozambiques...
I'm close to a win with each character but that didn't get me anywhere, lol.

Just douchebags who think they know better.
If you're jumpmaster, I've found it best to just go wherever is recommended by your teammates.
You do want to break off at the end though to maximize loot acquisition. It's suboptimal for two+ teammates to start in the same building.
Nah, Bloodhound is fine. The thing with their ability is that when they pop it, that sort of orange ring that pulses out of them is visible to the enemy. So it just becomes a case of "oh, Bloodhound is upstairs, guess they're gonna try and rush us now".
Not for me :C
Tried putting my Vega to -50% power limit, still crashed on the second match. I've tried so much to fix this because it's so fun but I give up until they fix their game
Only played 3 games tonight with my buddy on the ps4 and we won 2 of the 3 games. Happy out.
Very guilty with the second win we got fucked up and downed twice in the market. Both times the random team mate saved and revived me. I got my buddies banner and ran off to a revive station. As I was running the random got downed by another team but I kept running and left him while I revived my mate. He must have been so pissed at me after his heroics. He quit the game so we didn't even get to decide if we'd run back for his banner. We went on to win so I made the right choice even if it was a dick move on my part.

Yeah, that thing is super visible. His ult is incredible though.
Still, I'd say Bangalore is the all around best right now. Smokes are incredibly versatile and that speed boost has to be the best passive in the game.
It's probably just because it's still the weekend with lots of new people, but it would be nice not to be matched with two level 2s whilst the champion team each have several hundred kills.
How about you play what you want by not forcing extraneous modes in a team based shooter?
It's only a matter of time. I am very average and I manage a win every couple of days, just gotta wait for the Apex gods to bless you.
how do you guys want titans in this? it would be cool if you had to find keyes or something to turn them on
It does for me, going by the fact that I crash every time I raise the power limit back up above 50, but I've seen others it doesn't work for. I'm on a 2080 though, so I dunno.
Just the way BR goes.
We don't.
Guys I found the solution to PS4 crashes. Worked so far!

I have to imagine it's something even simpler like logging out then in to psn again. Probably some secret cache that gets updated which tells games what you have
I only break when I notice the jump master making no effort to adjust the speed and I see other teams flying by. I'll go to the same drop spot but I don't have all day.
Yeah. I hope they hold off on kneejerk patches though for the time being. Some things seem better than others, but that'll always be the case, and the game isn't even a week old yet.
I'm just hoping they don't do something dumb like nuke anything that is currently considered 'the best', like Bangalore, Lifeline, Pathfinder's grapple, Peacekeeper etc., into irrelevance straight away. So no Blizzard style, "Pathfinder's grapple is good, so we nerfed the speed it travels at, plus he now has less health, his ult takes twice as long to charge and hurts you when you ride along it" nerfs.
man....i wasted the time to run back and go get my teammates and they both left right b4 i got there lol
Your trying to fill 60 player lobbies as quick as possible. Adding skill levels is going to greatly increase queue times for people.
i dont see why banglore is the fav now. Her stuffs cool to use. But i dont feel like its hard to counter that stuff when ur on the other side of it. Ive never been smoked or mortared and felt in danger.
Same here. I got their card and was close to the spawn beacon and im wondering why it didnt let me spawn them. Only for me to notice they quit.
Yeah, same. Atleast with legends I hope they hold off nerfing more than anything, but I do think there's already some gun stuff that could use tweaking. Peacekeeper seems very likely to nerf a bit and the mozambique really needs help, every weapon is otherwise pretty solid even if some seem better than others.
It's the near universal applications her kit has. The speed boost is probably lowkey the best, but the escape ability and area denial (via denying certain areas for teams to fire from longer range) of the smoke is also super good, and an airstrike is always a plus in a firefight. The only place she is weaker is indoors where her airstrike can't reach, but that's a minority of fights and she still has her smoke and speed boost. In a way Caustic is the opposite, not being able to fully use his kit unless indoors or underground.
Her kit is just super versatile, the reason it's so powerful is that they work both defensively and offensively. Someone shoots at you in the back? Speed boost triggers, you can keep sprinting to cover faster than anyone else. You can also dump smoke on the ground while speed boosted if you're in a more open area and are very likely getting away. In comparison to someone like Wraith who in the same shot in the back situation has to basically phase to avoid damage, Bangalore gets a passive trigger to escape. But also, offensively this is great as she can weave into a building, or flank into a fight very quickly and just barrel stuff someone.
Smokes work the same as you can use it to push up, or if a teammate is downed just shoot smoke over to them and go for a revive. Her ult is distruptive more than anything but I find it good to use after one enemy is downed, if they're outdoors and you ult so it covers their crawling body they're pretty much a confirmed kill.
She feels really good to play since there's so much you can do with her.
while you are correct you sure love to call people names huh you sound so toxic.
Yeah man, I think they should buff it to the way you proposed it. As a matter of fact I was surprised they didnt run when I unlocked him.
