I don't know if there's an actual statistical limit, but it could go on a very long time (like 12+ games in past LANs), regardless of if anyone is on match point or not.
I have a feeling what will happen now is a bunch of teams will get on match point at the same time and then the game after will decide it.

I don't like troons at all, but the ones I've known have unironically been very intelligent. I'm talking top 20 university, EE or maths majors, fucking medical school and shit.
And this isn't a defense of them, my childhood best friend became a troon and he's one of the smartest kids I ever knew. I was aghast when I found out. I genuinely think some people just can't handle their intellect and it drives them insane.

Is that really a big deal now though? It's way easier to rank up now than it used to be, I value my S12 diamond badge way more than my S17 masters. I was fighting fucking gdolphn and albralalie among other pros back then.
Congrats anyways.
>>
>>2198921
You're right that getting diamond isn't anything special now, but winning is still a fair achievement. Nothing will ever approach the peak apex ranked competitiveness of s12-13, but the matchmaking is also far looser. Back then you wouldn't see preds until masters or D2. Now it regularly throws diamonds in pred lobbies and gives you plat randoms to boot if you're soloQ.
Diamond is the most miserable rank by far. I'm not sure what they could do to fix that, because you could say most people shouldn't get to diamond, but then that'd make pred and masters Qs impossibly long. The simple fact is that the people good at the game have gotten so much better than the average that the distribution is too lopsided, on top of the player base being much smaller, and then you throw in all the cheating and mnk basically abandoning the game.
Even hiswattson talks about how unfair it is and how he even struggles in soloQ. Of course then he constantly 3 stacks with other top preds, so...
>>
>>2198928
I don't really get watos, I like him, but he keeps saying he only plays apex to have fun and that's why he hates algs, then just spends his whole day stomping diamonds and plats with his pro teammates. He doesn't even change up weapons anymore. Is that really fun, when you're the biggest apex influencer left and just club baby seals the whole time?

there is no point in fighting against developer/game journalist strength aim assist, there is nothing to learn and nothing to outplay in an even situation. The aim assist is the only mechanic that matters.

I don't understand why Titanfall 3 was cancelled.
But why hasn't Respawn at least commissioned the release of an Apex Legends animated series already like LoL did with Arcane? Especially with how much Disney fumbled Star Wars, Titanfall's setting has the potential to become the next big space opera setting. Respawn is sitting on a golden franchise and does very little with it.

Damn i realize i have become the exact kind of teammate i used to hate. Just reached a point where i cba playing for wins in the last couple circles because of all the PTSD when i used to have completely shit movement/aim and got assistcucked constantly (while still not even placing that high)
For some reason i don't play as brainless and aggressive in the meme modes.
That being said i picked up p20s in the fourth or final ring and jumped on top of this duo, trolled them with fences from above and lasered them which was pretty funny, but then afterwards some other duo comes out of nowhere when i'm swinging around (there were like 4/5 squads left and it did seem like most of the squads were over on the other side of the circle) and i panic and end up in a hole of sorts, get aped and die.
So probably compensating for bad awaress, concentration and/or gamesense

Hell, I'm watching too cause I'm curious. And I'm not seeing anything that looks like it really has legs. It looks like another Finals situation, regardless of if the game is even really good. Honestly I think Apex could replicate this as a game mode pretty easily.

twitch isn't really a popularity metric. Apex is doing pretty well, I'd say actually very well considering it's basically tied with marvel rivals. Arc raiders is the one that's really stealing the limelight though.
>>
>>2207312
It's pretty obvious that most people live on a short dopamine loop now and just follow current trends. Who actually consistently watches streamers? I would assume it's mostly kids and simping shit now, and most women do just play whatever slop is suggested or is the current thing.
Nothing actually changed about BF6, or even Apex really (which is a problem tho). The BF6 shit is so braindead, people blaming EA for microtransactions is so tiresome, when the real problem was always the gameplay, the maps, no planned stream of future content like previous games. You can tell those people are mainly COD refugees too. What can you do huh
>>
>>2207368
I don't follow trends and fanclubs, all I know is I played 20 mins of bf6 and had no inclination to go any further. If I wanted cod, I'd play...cod
Ironically my friend wanted me to keep playing so badly he offered to buy it for me. Now he plays some silly gardening game with his gf lol

Can there be a "dont match with exact same teammates again" option in the settings?
And just fucking WOW how many times do i have to land at Galleria, the one POI that seems to always get insta pushed and teammates look at for too long and get lost and confused somehow because they think they're at an actual shopping centre or something oh my days.
E-dickshit is infuriating
>>2207389
I feel like i have to say it everytime i touch this topic, but some games success these days don't seem to be real.
BF6's whole gimmick was they "beat COD" which was really just them appealing to a demographic that never really cared about battlefield, while losing a lot of actual battlefield fans in the process.
Which ironically is what people shat on 2042 for doing. (half heartedly trying to become an Apex clone cashcow too)
>>
>>2207405
Give a few minutes between Qs, is the only solution I've found to that. I sometimes penalize myself with pushups lol
And I think it's "real" in the sense that people are actually buying, but it's mostly in desperation of finding anything actually worth playing. That's why most of these things don't have staying power.

They did zero advertising until an hour before release or whatever. I haven't been following it at all, just looking through stuff, going on the website, watching gameplay.

The design is objectively bad though.
Looks like they tried to just quickly add a "sexy" character just to get some interest, but they kinda failed in many ways, it's just a shitty DEI design where they cut out the midriff like some janky bottom of the barrel skyrim "sexy" armormod.

Sometimes you just get games where it becomes painfully obvious the other team has perfect hitreg, every single bullet hits you no matter what the fuck you do and your bullets just curve around them and when you get the aim ontop of them the game microstutters to make you lose tracking, it's fucking painfully obvious this shit is happening on purpose.

My biggest problem in the game is playing against premade teams. It's such a huge advantage over randoms, and there's virtually nothing you can do. They'll shred your teammates in the blink of an eye and then what? You miraculously 1v3 them? You just start running and hope they get bored of chasing you by the time you get to a replicator? It just feels futile
>>
>>2211425
That's because it is futile at a certain point. Even a team of pred randoms isn't going to beat off a really well coordinated squad. Just look at watos dying to diamond teams in the early game in the last few streams since the matchmaking was tightened up. But I mean, would you want a game where the coordinated team didn't have an advantage? That'd be artificial bullshit.
Only real option is to maintain awareness and play around squads best as possible. The recon class helps here.

Is the game really so dead the general is relegated to /vm/?
Anyways, just had a really good game in D3. Immediately after get put in a pred lobby with 8 pred teams and 6 master teams. Immediately ALT + F4'd like I always do, I'm done for the night. They could literally just reduce your points lost by half and have you not lose your top 5 streak if you die to a pred team, but Respawn are so retarded they can't implement a simple RP compensation when you're forced to backfill.

If he had time to run across the POI and grab it before you, that's fair game. I'm pretty good about letting my teammates get what they dibs even if I need it, but if you're too far from it I'm probably just going to take it.
Today that happened and I didn't take it even though he was like 300m away, and then he didn't even bother picking it up anyway so neither of us got it. If you need it enough to dibs it, get it right then and there.

Once again, I have to say that it's fair game. If he can run that far to get it, you were far away too and you didn't get it in time. If you're fucking around, still looting random shit, then you didn't really need it. If you need it, go right to it and pick that up first.
