So agree with Gnaske, it’s no longer about just fragging out and hoping to never make any mistakes. Now you can afford to make a small mistake and if you play AS A TEAM efficiently you’re very hard to kill. If you mis-manage utility with double support you’re just going to die, you have to use your abilities as a team not just 3 players fragging and inting
I think where it goes too far is like they also said, it's not just small mistakes. If they were able to tweak things so that yes you can recover from a small mistake, but also not reward team making huge mistakes or bad pushes, it would be much more balanced.
I want a Cowboy Bebop Carnival Episode collab for E-District. I like Raven's idea for controllercoasters here. A Jet skin for Newcastle would be choice.
W on the podcasts! I like the meta and game design discussions but I would like to hear more about comp, the teams, who is doing good, who isn't and why. Maybe even regular team rankings, player rankings?
We will have open podcast talk today on twitch (not sure if it will come to TH-cam though) with ZZ, Draugr and Don. We will talk about team performancea I guess. It is open talk so nothing planned. We will see
This is why I left apex 1:05:47 I can’t ever relax while playing. Arenas was really good when it first dropped for some quick play, then the ranked mode changed that too
They need to do what black ops 2 did for ranked. Every player has their individual rank when they solo queue but if you queue up as a full stack, you have a specific team rank that is different for every unique 3 stack. It was absolutely perfect
Do the math on time spent scrimming, vod reviewing, and competing for just the CHANCE of money. 99% of people would make more money working at mcdonalds.
@@raven_Apexis BLGS helping with Orgs stay in Apex though? I know hiatuses usually kill org involvement i think it helps keeping the pro scene active, no?
I honestly like this meta (I mean support needs hell0 nerfs), but the team synergy required for playing shields effectively is cool. That said, this meta massively downplays gunskill. It's is basically OW3; Respawn are forced to emphasize abilities over mechanics bcs controller still just outpowers MNK with meta that massively rewards gunskill/consistency, and they don't want to nerf rolla.
What if when newcastle res the armour hes wearing is what the shield is so he uses his armour to protect both ie blue armour its the same as a blue knockdown but he doesnt have a shield hes just left with health no shield
I feel like a lot of pros saying that we need a solo an only mode for ranked are speaking from a selfish pov. Yea there’s some people that complain but at that point have a solo queue and a trio queue. Most people get home from work(myself) enjoy getting on with their friends to play ranked. If the only thing I can play with my friends is pubs or mixtape it would be so fucking boring and just not worth playing. Sure a solo q is more fun for the pro that plays the game 8+ hours a day but for someone who can only play give or take 10 hours a week with their friends it’s a terrible change. I would say make it so that there’s one solo q mode with all lobbies combined (console + pc) and then there’s a regular trio mode. Then you just make it so that both modes don’t combine lobbies and the rank is individual to the mode. So like if you’re diamond in solo q doesn’t mean you’re diamond in trio q.
Gnaske is 100% right though, apex is at its best when it’s gunplay over abilities. At least for the majority of casual players, abilities create a complicated learning curve that turns off a lot of players from playing Newcastle for example. None of my friends play him because they just want to shoot and he’s complicated. From a casual perspective that’s why the game is dying
They're talking about the comp meta. It doesnt really affect us casuals. For the pros, this meta doesn't allow them to shoot anybody. Gibby bubble and Newcastle shield is up 100% of the time. It's THE most ability dependent meta there's ever been and the only way to get kills before end game is catching somebody out on a rotate or nade spam and gibby ult if they get into an actual fight.
Personally, i think all beacons should be removed from comp but that aint gonna happen. So, how about every legend has the option to choose a beacon scan ability instead of choosing a perk.
I feel like the meta is good right now and shouldn’t be changed drastically. Just some minor changes occasionally would be ideal. Like image they nerf Newcastle tac cooldown by 5 seconds and at the same time they buff someone like seer by a little to not create a massive unbalance. Also a little random but how good would Ash be if her portal was takable from both sides
These episodes with gnaske are hard to watch because he doesn’t let people speak and always interrupts them, please privacy moderate more that he just lest others speak

They’d have to be careful so preds can’t queue with 2 bronze friends and just run through gold lobbies or whatever their average rank would be
I like more watching this meta than playing it. Thank you for the podcast
I enjoyed the episode as always. Thank you for the passion to create this content!
PS. Sehr schöne Tasse 😉
Great podcast, thank you priv4cy 😊
Bring back Seer revive cancel as a counter
Imagine if alter could shoot her ult with her tail and then you could tp there.
It’s makes sense to have Ash and Wraith get Ring Console if Alter has it. Give all the portal characters console access
Give Alter the ability to snatch her teammates back like lifeweaver in Overwatch
I don’t think I agreed with a single one of ravens “hot takes” 😂
That's why they're actual hot takes.
Raven saying BLGS isn’t a big payout. Jesus Christ, I’m sure most people competing in BLGS think it’s a lot of money.
Do the math on time spent scrimming, vod reviewing, and competing for just the CHANCE of money. 99% of people would make more money working at mcdonalds.
Well most people aren’t going to win, obviously he’s talking about the pros perspective
@Edwoonie my comment applies to even the pros... 1st place gets $13,333 for each pro before coach and org cut. 4 months of work btw.
It’s not, the time put in does not equal a payout that makes it worth grinding for.
@@raven_Apexis BLGS helping with Orgs stay in Apex though? I know hiatuses usually kill org involvement i think it helps keeping the pro scene active, no?
Just give every character ring console and take away uav scan.

I agree make the abilities less of a factor. It's a shooter game you shouldn't be able to win a game off of ability cooldowns
What if when newcastle res the armour hes wearing is what the shield is so he uses his armour to protect both ie blue armour its the same as a blue knockdown but he doesnt have a shield hes just left with health no shield
This seems very very good idea. May I steal it?

Agree. Plus theres also a demographic (like me) that plays with one friend. Duo Ranked. Theres probably more Duo stacks than 3 stacks
gnaske is completely right on the ballistic thing. arguably the worst designed character in the game
GOOD LORD HES COOKING

I agree with Gnaske lol
🤦♂️
I agree. I think this meta requires the most gun skill and team skill
@@Vendredo. uhhh shotguns aren't very skillful lol
@ you’re high if you don’t think bubble fights require the most skill. Spamming AR’s and smgs require was less accuracy.
Personally, i think all beacons should be removed from comp but that aint gonna happen. So, how about every legend has the option to choose a beacon scan ability instead of choosing a perk.
minigames for evo would be sick
Honestly, sounds like Gnaske needs to go play COD. Apex legends has abilities, that's a lot of what makes it different.
this meta is actually fun to watch and actually requires skill
It does not require skill
Correlation doesn't imply causation PER SE. But it's just as true to say that causation necessarily(perhaps tautologically) creates correlations.

I am full sideing gnasky about this meta ❤
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ don't take his side
@Priv4cyy bruh for a guy like me who dies early in fight 😂 🤭 its the best ever meta 😎
😂 I feel you 😂😂
i love the meta
