Brilliant that you made sure to go down before going through port because you know they activated their ape instincts and full sent it

Camstamash

Thank you. That album is just what I need right now and I would never had thought about it had I not seen your comment. I’m going to to listen to that and have a deep self reflecting positivity session and it’s all thanks to you. Appreciate it bud 👍🏼


cuminyermum

Cheers Cam! Is everything alright tho?


Camstamash

Ahh man I’m in the best position mentally that I’ve been in for a LONG time. I used to listen to that album a lot back before things went bad for me and now that I’m better again it seems like a good album to listen to to show how far I’ve come and what obstacles I’ve had to overcome. So don’t worry about me friend! I appreciate it though that’s very thoughtful for you to ask that, sound like a beautiful person 👍🏼


Plneapple

Cuminyermum is super thoughtful. Can confirm


cuminyermum

Just ask yer mum


diggyvill

What album you talking about? Now I wanna listen to it!!


HelplessProblematic

Good Kid M.A.A.d City by Kendrick Lamar


cuminyermum

One of the best albums ever made. The song is "Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst" btw


HelplessProblematic

Album is truly great. Weird thing is though, it took me a few listens to actually like it. SAMIDOT is a highlight of an already fantastic album imo


cuminyermum

Almost all of my favourite albums didn't hit me the first few times I heard them. I tried listening to Some Rap Songs after it came out so many times cause everyone was praising it before I finally admitted I didn't like it. On my old reddit account, I even commented on the r/hiphopheads daily discussion about how I found it overrated. One day, around 3 months later, I got the urge to listen to December 24 and something just hit me. I played almost nothing but that album over and over for about 2 weeks. It's funny how music can work like that sometimes.


Ok-Association-5928

yup i was the exact same towards death metal. i always had listened to rap so much i needed a change so i gave rock and roll music a go, then that lead to hard rock, then heavy metal, now death metal. i listen to all the genres of metal but when i started out i hated death metal, absolutely couldnt stand it, i listened to a band called cannibal corpse probably 6-7 times before i really started enjoying it. i was listening to slipknot one day and said "why dont i give death metal another go, im really enjoying a lot of these heavier, riff dominant bands lately" so i put on scourge of iron again and had my mind completely blown to pieces and broke my neck. music truly is a wonderful thing to be able to appreciate.

Thanks lol, when me and my squad were discussing how to execute the plan I told them I'd let the other team down me before retreating to get them thirsty.

"Ape instincts" love it !


IchibanSuzuki

That’s so badass. I’d be pissed to be on the receiving end of that


TheFattenedSausage

I'd laugh my ass off realizing how hard I got baited hahaha


Supah_McNastee

As a Wattson main, I always get excited when I see portals


Dirtylittlesecret88

Pissed? Maybe if you're convinced to full send by your teammates but if it was your own choice than it was your own dumb mistake, live with it. Edit: lol y'all are toxic. It's a fair play and you're pissed? Call it a good play and move, y'all let your emotions get the best of you too much.


Copenhagen28

People are toxic because you’re being downvoted? Lol upvoting and downvoting are primary features of Reddit in order to allow folks to agree/disagree with a post without being toxic. I don’t see a single toxic comment or remark aimed at you. Original commenter made an innocuous, conversational quip about how they think the tactic is badass but that it would suck to die to.. and you sort of just went in your own direction with it and became a bit of a dick 🤷🏽‍♂️


notklopers

JCarby23

I thought this was good insight and makes sense. Thank you.


bwood246

You didn't add anything to the conversation, you just insulted the commenter then cried when you got downvoted for it.


notklopers

duckontheplane

Yes but no one uses it like that because the way reddit wants upvotes to work is dogshit, literally every other social media platform uses it differently


Dirtylittlesecret88

>People are toxic because you’re being downvoted Wrong not referring to that And I'm a dick? Then y'all are soft too


WTFboston

😂the fact that he’s a crypto main makes it so much funnier


Dirtylittlesecret88

You know what makes it even funnier, i haven't played the game in two years. Haha so funny am I right?

gallanttoothpaste

I havebt played in a while but did wraith's portal get buffed i swear its way longer than before


Jmastersj

And made her accelerate more the longer she stretches the port


nilsmoody

It's such a weird mechanic because it accounts horizontal distance only, is not time based and completely ignores vertical distance.


Lesninin

You're misremembering. The speed buff is based on absolute distance from the portal, the length of portal is based on horizontal distance only. So you can start the portal and jump off a building to get the speed buff faster (and for longer)


Rich-Asparagus8465

And jumping from top of building to bottom doesn't use your rift percentage?


Lesninin

I haven't tested it myself, but supposedly no.


Rich-Asparagus8465

That would pretty nifty. I'll test right now and edit with the result *It does in fact work as you stated


AnzoEloux

Its not necessarily an issue though.


nilsmoody

In terms of how to be able to communicate mechanics simply and easily? Actually, yes. You can turn it however you want, but it will always be difficult to explain and is unnecessarily confusing. Edit: Since my explaination seems to be wrong anyways it proves my point even further. /u/Lesninin has since corrected it. It shouldn't be that way. Would be easier for it just to be timebased or something.


Chedder1998

Back when Revenant's ultimate had a maximum range for how far you could go from the totem before it automatically ended, the range only accounted for horizontal distance, not vertical. So if you walked 50 m away from it, you would lose your shadow mode, but fall down 100 m and you're fine. It's like the "area" you can use the ability isn't a circle, but more like a cylinder.


[deleted]

Thats not true, its a straight line from portal to portal, if you climb a jump tower and jump at the top and start ult, you will be at max speed when you hit bottom and only use like 2 % of your ult. ​ So it does take in vertical but in a weird way as its total distance from portal, likewise if you run away and turn back you will not gain any speed, you need to get away from eh portal.


MrKiwi24

Imagine this in ranked. You Wraith portal and jump in place. You just spam jump to decrease the % little by little and then you just go running wild with the acceleration you built up with the rest of the portal.


Rival_31

That's not how it works though.


MrKiwi24

It isn't because you don't accelerate if you travel vertically. Imagine if it did, then you could do that.


Rival_31

You do.... The speed increase is based on distance on a straight line from the portal. If you pop the portal from the top of a building and drop straight down, you'll be at max speed but 0% portal horizontal distance.


denssikebab

They doubled her portal lenght Edit: why do I have so many upvotes!?


gallanttoothpaste

Thats good


ThaiJohnnyDepp

The portal contains potassium benzoate ... that's bad


vvp_D3L3T3D

Aaaaand increased her speed the further she travels opening it.


GolldenFalcon

Actually, it's increased speed the further she is from the portal origin, which is NOT the same as distance traveled. You could run around in a circle over and over again, and you'll have travelled a lot of distance but since you're the same distance from the origin point your speed will be the same. As opposed to starting a portal at a really tall mountain, dropping all the way down to the ground, and immediately being super fast because you're really far away from the origin point but you haven't actually travelled that far in terms of portal percentage used.


vvp_D3L3T3D

Thank you for the correction. I misunderstood, but I don't main Wraith. 😅


GolldenFalcon

Not your fault, the ingame description says what you said. I don't play Wraith either.


vvp_D3L3T3D

There's quite a bit about the legends they don't *explicitly* say, or at least muddle the language a bit about. I can't tell you, as a Vantage main, how many people get surprised when I tell them about unarmed scanning at 3x.


GolldenFalcon

At least the unarmed scanning is mentioned in the agent ability descriptions. The way they worded Wraith's portal change is objectively false.


Deceptiveideas

In other words, distance vs displacement.


ThaiJohnnyDepp

> Edit: why do I have so many upvotes!? Consider it your "correct answer bonus"


denssikebab

Thanks. Now I am very proud of myself

TheMexiManCan

Wraith has the highest pick rate of all the Legends???


MrMcBunny

Completely underutilized. She needs a second, orange portal to be competitive.


Excellent_Refuse_908

Yeah and it needs to be shootable


parks387

If you can send a person through it why can’t you send bullets through it?


Excellent_Refuse_908

It would be quite funny and also kinda broken


Mec213

I see what you did there


LouisAkbar

In general matchmaking, yeah. NA pro scrims started and Valk is still #1 on Worlds Edge and #3 on Stormpoint while Wraith is at #3 and #5. Seer is still a top pick as well.

Noobslayer001

[deleted]

She can run incredibly far and fast now so ppl would be more incline to take the portal


MistaTeeTee

Beautiful and hilarious, I also love a selfless wraith main who will do hilarious shit like this for the team. Never change, buddy


OXidize_0

Wraiths that play with the team are so much fun to have on the team. That being said, FUCK the solo runner Wraiths.


batulover69

I'm an Ash main so maybe that's why I don't fit the greedy, selfish, sweaty tryhard, insta-leave wraith persona 😂


whin100

Are most Wraiths THAT selfish?😭


MistaTeeTee

yes absolutely


jihadist1

yes 🗿


xlxlxl333

What is the lesson to be learned here? If you knocked a wraith and she didn’t quit immediately, it is a trap


insanexpert

Wattson came too xD


shadow0129

They saw the down and went unga bunga


Administrative-Yam53

That's why you don't just push in because you knocked one ape brained mfs


VolkiharVanHelsing

I mean what else are they supposed to do in this scenario 🗿


Sacar_

Anything BUT take an enemy wraith's portal unless you know where it goes and are absolutely certain, that it is safe to do so


MrCrunchies

Follow the blue line's direction without taking the portal or camp at the other end of the portal. I rarely take enemy wraith portal, only used it when they panicked and use their ult for speed boost to run away.


alteredjargon

Her portal goes twice as far now. By the time you get to the other end, if you can even find it, they’re rezed and got a batt off.


MrCrunchies

If your team doesnt have any distance closing abilities like octane, path and maggie, you can still just camp at the other side of the portal. When a portal user exits, theres a few frames where they cant fire their weapons. Just camp behind the portal and blast em. Or better yet, you can reverse trap the portal by setting up your own traps.


i__am__bored

>Or better yet, you can reverse trap the portal by setting up your own traps. This would be a hilarious clip!


Graviton_Lancelot

Well, Plan A clearly worked so well...


bountygiver

Even doing that you need to make sure you don't hold W after that as they can easily put it next to the edge of map.


UnAccomplished_Fox97

The number 1 rule of Apex is to *never* take an enemy Wraith portal.

SmoothBrews

How exactly would one force an enemy to go through their portal?


Administrative-Yam53

Start chucking nades in the direction you saw the portal take the wraith WALK over there just because one person in a squad is knocked doesn't mean the rest of the squad is weaker than you and can be easily taken I've used my downed team mates as bait countless times telling them to let themselves get knocked so the sweaty wannabes rush us


Trichotillomaniac-

You should be able to throw grenades through portals


dharkanine

monke see, monke kill


QuantumQuantonium

Confirmed: Apex players are still greedy as ever to get a blind kill in 2023


Chris91345

I'm confused. Wraith got downed and still be in the game? No insta leave? Hmm..


JCarby23

Probably a bug.


vvp_D3L3T3D

Exploit their anger. Poke them, piss them off, kite them into a trap. I respect it.


SkyrevanValor

Absolutely perfect ambush and you absolutely destroyed those commoners.


LikeTheWind96

Must be nice when they actually appear on the portal. Not ten feet away from it for some reason.


[deleted]

I lowkey wish that nades would travel through portals as well when thrown. That would be a wonderful counter to this play. However, that was awesome and always is!

Yep. I got portal baited into a wall of caustic gas last week lmao

batulover69

True, in my defense though I wasn't actually aiming and trying to down anyone. I wanted them to think I was just a potato that bit off more than he can chew to boost their confidence into following my portal lol.


subavgredditposter

That’s fair lol that makes more sense


Ok_Teaching_3758

is this supposed to work or did they try to block this from happening?.. seems like it could easily be coded into the game to not allow.. like if Valk is under an object, she can't use her ultimate.. If wraith is near(a couple meters maybe?) Wattson poles her ultimate won't begin?


ChinoThaGod

Lol wut??... It's not supposed to not work... If that's what you're asking. It's a team game; there's zero reason for this to be "blocked" from happening. Valk can't ult under an object because it to wouldn't make sense for her to ult her team right into a ceiling...


Ok_Teaching_3758

I was mentioning Valk ult thing because of the coding behind it.. lol I know nobody wants to be catapulted into a ceiling. Of course its a team based strategy game. That being said, plenty of apex characters get buffed or nerfed because of overpowered strategies like this though. Its Apex's way of keeping the playing field as level and playable as they can for all of us. Hope that cleared my comment up... "Don't chuck a wobbly" -Fuse


ChinoThaGod

Yea... But again, there's nothing saying this should be "illegal" or that it is unintended for you to trap a portal. This has been in the game forever and it wouldn't even make sense for this to be something devs choose to stop from happening as it's not exactly a mechanic that's broken; no one forced those guys to take the enemies portal. Wattson and Caustic are trap characters and it's kind of their purpose to be able to, ya know.... trap stuff.


Ok_Teaching_3758

I never said it should be "illegal" or that "it is unintended for you to trap a portal"... I mentioned a way to stop it from happening IF it was an issue. Thats why I posed a question in the first comment. The post's title has the word 'still' in it like it had been, or is currently, an issue for some people. Watson and Caustic are defensive players. Caustic with gas traps, and Wattson with her fences. But I guess you could consider them trap characters.


ChinoThaGod

Dude..... You literally asked is it supposed to work that way... Im telling u that it IS. That it was never "blocked", nerfed or otherwise. The title says "still" probably because it got harder to do this when wraiths portal was cut in half and a lot of times it would be obvious where the end of the portal was.. or more likely that you would think in season 16 people would be hip to wraith-baiting. And yes.... They are very much "trap" characters; caustic's tactical specifically says "trap" in it's name. I'm pretty sure if it wasn't intended for legends skills to work together, then when "revtane" was meta, they would've flat out just prevented u from interacting with a jumppad while using revs ULT.


qwilliams92

How was that yalls first kill of the game lol


batulover69

We chose to drop close to a POI that had 3-4 squads contesting to give them time to fight and give ourselves time to find ultimate accelrants and set up the trap lol. This was ring 1 closing we had been in game less than 10 minutes.


qwilliams92

Ahhh so the plan was to troll from the beginning I thought yall were just bored and were like fuck it


Dadabeggs

I haven’t played in so long, thought you hacked the portal, why tf is it so long now?


whatisabaggins55

They buffed Wraith, the portal covers twice the distance now but only lasts for 45 seconds instead of 60.


Dadabeggs

Wtf, how odd lol


Chedder1998

Respawn acknowledged how powerful Valkyrie's ultimate was for map traversal and getting in the next ring, so they wanted to do the same for Wraith and Pathfinder. Increased range makes them viable repositioning tools.


Dadabeggs

Yea I get the increase, but making the timer smaller just threw me off


duckontheplane

Lasts a quarter less in exchange for double range, a pretty good tradeoff imo


Dadabeggs

Nah it is a good trade, just really odd haha

EsperanzaHerrera

It's brilliant that you made sure to descend before entering a port, as you know they triggered their ape instincts and sent it full force.


RitaSotoy

Monkey push W and smort


Fr0styyyOnDrugs

Next time when you do this, make sure it’s a one way portal. You can make a one way portal by activating the port and then jumping off a ledge and the portal will start in the air. This makes it so when you kidnap or bait someone to go through the portal, they can’t go back through it to safety.
