It's easy when you have a 3 stack of good players. I found out the hard way it's extremely difficult to get diamond with randoms no matter how good you are.
this season seems REALLY good so far for loadout diversity! a lot of things are good and i hope we keep seeing a lot of different playstyles and loadouts, especially in high levels
i think cloak is mostly a high end meta thing. most lights in my games run dash or grapple. embark gave all classes a way to counter cloak so if people really have an issue with it they just need to bring motion sensor or sonar. gravity vortex is fucking amazing. already had a massive win with it. the thing i like most is that it stays stuck when it deploys so you can drop the objective from a moving platform and of course you can abort steals without line of sight. 93r being good for the first time is so fun. i hope embark doesn't nerf it any time soon. i think you still need good aim and solid hits to make it work but it is just nice to have a weapon that is pretty good at most ranges (besides the lh1)
Yeah, invis 100% getting a nerfed, its kinda insane ya can stand still invis for like 2+mins straight XDDDD. I like it as a invis light, but I know long term that this likely wouldnt be fun to really play against nor watch. Oh and the defib changes was MASSSSSIVE I'm so happy defib doesnt feel like "necessity" anymore for peeps! It's still good for the fact ya can get someone back up into the fight instantly, but its not obnoxious being able to do that 3x XDDD. I dig it I do agree, I think currently LMH actually might be the "strongest" right now, and I love that! Light finally got to a place where it's like, not "useless." Grats on first diamond btw! ^0^
Seeing a non-SA12+non-charge loadout is crazy. No fib or heal beam is crazy. Light is crazy, and 93r is crazier. i wouldve taken out a mortgage to bet against a 93r meta. Cant wait to play S5 and the new map.
One lil thing I like to do with gravity vortex is pair with gateway and tm8 has a gas nade, put grav vor next to your cash out and gateway above it when the steal trigger both and throw nades through gateway while they r stuck and can’t run away
@@AiloSzn my load out since s1 has been Mine gas mine defib and turret. Its absurd how much utility I get from those things, and with defibs getting so toned down, sensor or glitch mine need to be on the reserves. I still run defibs because my main partner runs dual blades and even with these changes, he can get great value and survivability even with the 8s cooldown.
I'm a brand new player that just downloaded the game last week. I don't know anything about what is and isn't really good so I really appreciate this fast and easy to follow video
@@antimatics759before the recent ammo buff and range buff, -2 damage and range nerf make this gun die instantly, bad dps, bad range, everything bad. but now its got the range back but not damage + a bit more ammo. make this gun usable again, still isn't top tier like before but way lesssssss punishing than before
FYI gravity vortex and goo grenade is huge. Pull the cashout high and then goo against the wall so it’s suspended. Very strong and easy to setup with low cooldowns. Also have done some fun plays with winch, jump pad, and gravity vortex. Winch pull the cashout over a jump pad. Once it reaches max height, detonate the gravity vortex on it and it stays in the air and no one can get it for 7 seconds.
I’m glad people are hitting diamond. Last season there were NO people that were in diamond 2/1. Glad to see they made some changes to the RP and people filling D2/1 is possible.
Do you have a video on the kiting meta? I've heard it multiple times now but I have not seen a video talk about it, and it seems more complex than your average strategy.
I went from silver to near diamond mostly casual playing. I never saw anyone run cloak, or at least very rarely. So idk where you saw it being meta apart from maybe scrims. Played regularly against rubys and whenever there was a light it was always dash. I do like the idea of light cloak being more sneaky. I do like the change but Im definitely bias. I think the change to defib is great. Overall i think this season will be great but rank is over for me ive burnt out last season trying to make diamond solo que. Just gonna have fun in world tour with some creative loadouts. This is how I have the most fun in the finals and in the end its all that matters. It was hard to let go of ranked cause im very competitive in general. Happy season 5 everyone❤
I think light finally has a leg up with the new cloak. It could make some noise when standing still but definitely not nerf worthy considering what other things have been allowed prior.
93R is definitely better than it was, but it's held back by the buff being bugged. At 28 DMG it should be able to 3 burst mediums, but in reality it takes 3 bursts + 1 extra bullet (so being burst fire with a delay it's realistically a 4 burst TTK). Its damage is bugged to somewhere in the 25-27 range.
@@kami3449 it looks like they've stealth changed the patch notes. Checking wayback machine indicates that it was not a hallucination, it indeed started out as 24->28 DMG, but now the patch notes say 24->26 DMG. Disappointed that Embark didn't add a note highlighting the edit or explaining which was the actual intended value.
@@mr.nihilistic hahahaha I'm no noob and dash is factually speaking the worst light spec. Badly designed. Badly implemented. Makes players play the same boring play style and is annoying to play against.
I'm a bit curious why FCAR is considered the pick for high elo players as akm just feels like the better option between the 2 for multiple reasons. AKM has a bigger mag, similar dps and it even got a red dot in S4, the recoil is a bit easier on FCAR but it doesn't make a whole lot of difference. Everything just points to akm being objectively better than FCAR imo. If anybody has the answer feel free to enlighten me and even correct me if I said something wrong here.
FCAR has a lower rate of fire, higher damage per bullet. FCAR has higher range. FCAR has a stickier hip fire. FCAR has the highest TTK on light/heavy out of every AR. fcar my baby
The scar is right now better than the AK based on versatility and ttk. If the AK had the 36 round mag again it would be 50-50 but the pitiful ttk on the aks end is boring. For most ranges you should be engaging, the 25 round fixed visual recoil scar is better. The FAMAS is good too, but I don't like it.
@@necromax13 If you’re playing solo, double mobility and util/nades are the way for sure. If you’re in a stack and your team mates are worth defibbing, defib is still worth
Lockbolt definitely doesn't feel like it has enough of a short leash on tethered targets, but, I will say the way chains remain even through terrain has made chasing people down with flamer a very brutally fun time
I swear I land a lock bolt right at a guy's feet and it'll despawn before he reaches the edge of it. This game doesn't have nearly enough open space for how lenient it is. The new light gadget fills the same role much better.
I got lockbolted in a building and was able to run to the next building beside me and get up the stairs to the second floor. The leash is way too lenient but I can easily see how determining an exact radius is difficult. Shrink it a little bit and it might be insanely OP. I’m sure it’ll get to a healthy point eventually but if next season it’s shrunk and it becomes lockbolt meta, no one is going to enjoy that.
I actually like that cloak is OP bc it almost neccessitates having a light with motion sensors or thermals to counter. Take the OP cloak away and we're back to season 1-4 where you're just better served by having a 2nd medium or heavy.
????? Glitch, firethrower, fire nades, gas, and aoe of any kind already countered cloak. All classes have motion sensors now. What are you even saying????
The balancing team that works on this game is doing kind of a masterclass. Sht's taking long, but the game improves every single time they patch it... They're not just playing with numbers; the game is nicely designed.
I think I’m gonna get back into this game , I miss it, remember when I hit diamond season 1 and 2 then season 3 came and they removed ranked and add it to terminal attack and I left once they did that , definitely miss grinding this game
Another weapon of fun choice in my opinion is using bow while using dash with gateway. If I ever wanna use cloak I can use the vanish bomb for alternative. Been seeing more players using motion sensors to track invisible L’s down quicker.
There’s a glitch currently with heavy(easier to pull off) with Granate launcher, after you empty your weapon pick something up and throw it, it will skip the reloading animation, I’ve seen it with throwing dome instead and this will also skip the animation
Not so sure about the grav vortex yet. Its extremely noticeable, has tiny health, has tiny range, and doesnt inhibit movement that much. Being able to move the cashout as a light is a cool mechanic to have, but heavy and medium can arguably do it better and much easier I think its a cool concept but it feels extremely similar to heavies gravity well and I definitely think it could use some adjustments to give it a slighlty different niche
I feel like the cloak buff is slighty overtuned but let me explain....taking burning (I E. whether its from a pyro grenade, mine, flamethrower etc....) should break you out of cloak if you walk into it but reactivating cloak can remove the burning ticks/DoTs/damage (kind of like cloak of shadows in WoW) allowing you to re-cloak but gas should remove it when walking into it for sure since its like an environmental DoT that doesnt follow you
best light setup is sword dash, sonar, invis nade, gravity c4. got top 100 in TA and already hit diamond. The potential to 1v3 the enemy team is high and to finish off or get initial dmg is insane with sword. if your using sword worried about other cloaks use thermal vison instead of c4
Grats on diamond overachiever. 😂 Oh man...I've been enjoying the new invis, but I didn't even think about invis/stun plug stealing. Yeah that is gonna catch a nerf. And yeah HML feels nice, seen a huge uptick in heavy. It's good.
Last week I’ve lost like 25 matches in a row back to back even when carried and was top killing the most enemies usually… lost every single match. Because a full team of lights or defib mediums would always win vs my team. I kept dying to invisible rushing lights or team couldn’t push cuz heavy kept popping their shields on point… I’m glad they fixed some of those
Question for LH; Thoughts on the zoom scope vs red dot LH1 for a light that'd rather use grapple? (For why grapple? Avoid relying on something bound to be nerfed. And to have tons more vertical burst on demand than dash.)
Yo Appoh, I've known you for a while but I've started watching you more actively on yt and twitch and I gotta say you are one of the best things that happened to this game! Quick question abt your videos: where do you get your music from and can you link it? Very chill but fire background music
honestly all the names are like lofi hiphop435456452434532 i just find random copyright free music online and call it a day, i dont know any names sorry
Definitely make a video on the gravity vortex ASAP. Make a Part 1 video so you can be the first one to make a video about the new gadget. Maybe make a part 2 or compilation of what else you can do with it if you find new stuff out
i dont like rushing guides too much, i much rather wait and make sure the content i put out is informed, so i dunno if i wanna do this but a guide or a video about it will definitely come out hopefully soon
Would you say it’s harder to climb the ranks when the season is fresh? I’ve been trying for days, putting in hours, and it feels like I’m pushing a boulder uphill. I can’t seem to get out of Gold 2. I’ll win back-to-back games, only to get matched with absolute goblins who probably smell like sweat and ass. I don’t know if I should keep trying or take a break from ranked and run some World Tour instead.⁉️⁉️⁉️
I was finding cloak real good s4, which is a shame cos i think movement Light is far more interesting and fun on both sides of the fight. Same reason I dont think CC or stuns should be meta, they are not fun to play against. But overall HML is a very healthy spot to be in!
How is no one talking about dual blades - dual + frag/or zip + smoke + goo! I’m consistently clearing trios and winning games plus it’s SOOO MUCH FUN! I have never given em a run before this season - given they are weak on Kyoto and the new Bernal map but just about everywhere else is a total blast
My best teammate is a dual sword main (he's dumb), and i still have to autopick defibs because he dies a lot (hes dumb) but dualies have EXTREME utility when reviving during a teamfight, and with the new dual blades buffs???? Its going to be an extremely niche but extremely useful combo. Played on season release and i lost count on how many cashouts we got on him deflecting while i stole.
I’ve been only getting like 3 kills a game with most guns, started using Cerberus at the beginning of the season now I average 8-10 kills and we’ve been making finals every tournament, think I found my meta lol
@@thund3r94probably a DoT nerf. Anyhow if you were just averaging 3 kills a game you don't need the new gun, you need to find a better playstyle. I have extremely poor aim in this game yet i consistently drop 13 k/a.
@@necromax13 I’m a support medium so I was still getting like 7 assists from healing my heavy friend but now i just also help with kills and don’t lose 1v1s as much anymore I also haven’t seen anything about a nerf so unless you’ve seen this from embark I’m honestly calling bs
With the nerf today bringing Cloaks standing timeout from 133s to 27s, do you still think it is too strong, and if not, is it strong enough for LMH to stay meta?
Last season I would use the m11, stun, vanish bomb, and gateway, with throwing knives, lh1, flashbang and v9s in reserve, any tips on how I can improve my current loadout? I still enjoy rocking the m11 because it has personally brought me lots of success and I would really like to keep it as a primary :) I occasionally use the throwing knives because of the fun factor
When I play heavy and I try to support my team by playing heavy meta build on solo que. we all get wrecked, but when I run deagle,Charge,frag,barricade, and rpg. We make it to the finals. Low ELO solo ques just ain't it for the heavy build lol
I think what killed this game for me was how they switched up ranked I don’t like the world tour stuff it needs to go back to ruby top 500 with a rank in between ruby and Diamond . Once they do that if they ever do I’ll go back because finals definitely had a lot of potential
@@Red_Siddhartha shak50 is best at a close to close medium range where as lewis is more of a medium to long range weapon. Id say shak50 overall suits heavy better because they often want to be in someones face
Dang that cloak change was completely unnecessary, I hate having to run thermal every game because of season 1 cloak abusers. Its just not fun to fight agains for any class.

(For why grapple? Avoid relying on something bound to be nerfed. And to have tons more vertical burst on demand than dash.)
@9:57 no grapple players? Didn't you play the anniversary with NeonGutz?
neongutzz is a world tour player, not ranked
Yo Appoh,
I've known you for a while but I've started watching you more actively on yt and twitch and I gotta say you are one of the best things that happened to this game! Quick question abt your videos: where do you get your music from and can you link it? Very chill but fire background music
honestly all the names are like lofi hiphop435456452434532 i just find random copyright free music online and call it a day, i dont know any names sorry
Definitely make a video on the gravity vortex ASAP.
Make a Part 1 video so you can be the first one to make a video about the new gadget.
Maybe make a part 2 or compilation of what else you can do with it if you find new stuff out
i dont like rushing guides too much, i much rather wait and make sure the content i put out is informed, so i dunno if i wanna do this but a guide or a video about it will definitely come out hopefully soon
Peak unemployment right here.
@@reinellex7662 i work a full time job as a graphic design. In office too. But nice try
Would you say it’s harder to climb the ranks when the season is fresh? I’ve been trying for days, putting in hours, and it feels like I’m pushing a boulder uphill. I can’t seem to get out of Gold 2. I’ll win back-to-back games, only to get matched with absolute goblins who probably smell like sweat and ass. I don’t know if I should keep trying or take a break from ranked and run some World Tour instead.⁉️⁉️⁉️
I was finding cloak real good s4, which is a shame cos i think movement Light is far more interesting and fun on both sides of the fight. Same reason I dont think CC or stuns should be meta, they are not fun to play against. But overall HML is a very healthy spot to be in!
How is no one talking about dual blades - dual + frag/or zip + smoke + goo! I’m consistently clearing trios and winning games plus it’s SOOO MUCH FUN! I have never given em a run before this season - given they are weak on Kyoto and the new Bernal map but just about everywhere else is a total blast
Congrats on the diamond rank!
I dunno how to feel about everyone beginning to already make “META” videos this soon in S5 but this game is pretty competitive so fair enough.
Not bad! GLHF!!! This new defibrilator rule is making you a free frag in most cases.....
grav cube + winch claw is underrated for being able to clutch a cashout.
My best teammate is a dual sword main (he's dumb), and i still have to autopick defibs because he dies a lot (hes dumb) but dualies have EXTREME utility when reviving during a teamfight, and with the new dual blades buffs????
Its going to be an extremely niche but extremely useful combo.
Played on season release and i lost count on how many cashouts we got on him deflecting while i stole.
How do you feel about the lewis gun since the red dot + visual recoil changes? I found it wins at range against the shak?
I’ve been only getting like 3 kills a game with most guns, started using Cerberus at the beginning of the season now I average 8-10 kills and we’ve been making finals every tournament, think I found my meta lol
Its getting nerfed next Thursday so enjoy it while it lasts.
@ what kind of nerf cause it seems fine now tbh plus there’s not many people using it
@@thund3r94probably a DoT nerf.
Anyhow if you were just averaging 3 kills a game you don't need the new gun, you need to find a better playstyle.
I have extremely poor aim in this game yet i consistently drop 13 k/a.
@@necromax13 I’m a support medium so I was still getting like 7 assists from healing my heavy friend but now i just also help with kills and don’t lose 1v1s as much anymore I also haven’t seen anything about a nerf so unless you’ve seen this from embark I’m honestly calling bs
@@thund3r94 from the subreddit ive seen people complaining that it's overtuned and that most definitely means a nerf.
I was begging for 20 round FCAR to be brought back. And they basically gave it to heavy… siiiiiick.
With the nerf today bringing Cloaks standing timeout from 133s to 27s, do you still think it is too strong, and if not, is it strong enough for LMH to stay meta?
I would like to see how they make light with dagger work in high elos
Last season I would use the m11, stun, vanish bomb, and gateway, with throwing knives, lh1, flashbang and v9s in reserve, any tips on how I can improve my current loadout? I still enjoy rocking the m11 because it has personally brought me lots of success and I would really like to keep it as a primary :)
I occasionally use the throwing knives because of the fun factor
the cloak buff is insanity i love it so much 😭
When I play heavy and I try to support my team by playing heavy meta build on solo que. we all get wrecked, but when I run deagle,Charge,frag,barricade, and rpg. We make it to the finals. Low ELO solo ques just ain't it for the heavy build lol
As a part time heavy and medium, I strongly dislike the defib change
How would you address it from here?
...why?
I'm permanently medium and i feel like this change was appropriate.
Cloak is definitely not broken imo it’s just good now, I switch to dash bc i personally find it way more useful
The gravity vortex is busted in power shift cause you just spam all your nades in there and activate and they will all hit
HUGE, lemme come back to this.
Appoh, have you tried the new M shotgun? Is it any good or is it just really weak?
I think what killed this game for me was how they switched up ranked I don’t like the world tour stuff it needs to go back to ruby top 500 with a rank in between ruby and Diamond . Once they do that if they ever do I’ll go back because finals definitely had a lot of potential
My first match on I joined a mid match and played with you, I was Kingz and was using the Cerberus
It was quick cash
just one question for light weight, it's good to play V9S or M11, or it's better to play 93r ???
would you recommend best solo heavy loadout??
Is the Shak-50 better than the Lewis Gun ?
@@Red_Siddhartha shak50 is best at a close to close medium range where as lewis is more of a medium to long range weapon. Id say shak50 overall suits heavy better because they often want to be in someones face
i hope HML is the Meta iit will be so nice
playing as a stack against soloQ without comms had nothing to do with it right?
Can not wait for the tempo vid my team and i suck at macro
Hey Appoh, do you still think HML is viable after the adjustment on Light's cloaking device? I wounder if the HMM is the best after the adjustment.
Lmao I saw that while I was playing I'm like damn App is the new king of sweating
As someone who uses throwing knives how good are they. I run dash and use them like a sword with range if I need it.
Great to see lights are now meta too
Nice video! Have you tried the new Hunt?
Dang that cloak change was completely unnecessary, I hate having to run thermal every game because of season 1 cloak abusers. Its just not fun to fight agains for any class.
Crucial choice we all must make:
Hit diamond in the finals vs. have a job
or be like be, do both
@ My friends list is full of golds man it’s gonna take so long
is jump pad or zipline better for medium build with defib, healer and goo
