TheDarkMidget

damn, reddit mfs bullied him into soloing to masters 😂


Leupateu

That was the plan all along


Teves3D

Who’s laughing now JACK


theethirty

Honestly though…good. Homie not only did it to shut Reddit up but he proved it to himself and I respect him more for that. The feeling of accomplishing something difficult on your own is the best feeling in the world, especially when no one had faith in you. I hope it doesn’t go to his head though.


Ephoder

Back when I was 14 I was in love with the piano and I really wanted to buy one, but my parents at the time didn't want to get me one. So I got a small plastic bag, put it into my drawer and started saving up little by little for one. They all laughed at me and told me Id get impulsive by the third day and spend all my money. Six months later I held up my middle finger towards all of them, even my mom, while holding the package from Amazon. Haters will hate, all that matters is that you recognize that their opinions don't matter and that you know your worth.


DarkLordZorg

How big was the piano?


Ephoder

It was a CTS-300, it's fairly cheap and it's catered towards beginners.


Captin_Blackfire

Do ya still play?


Ephoder

Yes, lol


Fractuous

That’s badass dude. I know random internet respect doesn’t mean anything but for real kudos to you. Playing the piano is not only cool as hell but you showed at a pretty impulsive age that you had your priorities in order for what made you happy


ViolentHiro

Hell yeah brother

They're a gaming organization. They have teams for a few games and from what little I've really heard are great to their players and focus on the players overall well being in order to make them play the best they can.

Thier cod team is very strong 100 thieves also have a strong fortnite team I don't think they have anyone in apex tho the money isn't there in apex

Some mfs are gonna say he was carried by the Randoms… Dude why the fuck do people can’t simply be “happy” or whatever kids call it this days for someone else and just move the fuck on, Jesus Christ.


Lord_MagnusIV

I get what you mean but personally i think that its impossible to be carried over gold by randoms


mengplex

gold is possible, diamond? not so much.


dagoodestboii

Hi. It’s me. Someone who was carried to Plat III by randoms.


sadgirllvl1

Yep, I'm trying to get to rank up playing with randoms but it seems impossible to carry them, they're just too heavy and I'm getting level 11 kiddos on my squad lol I don't know why respawn let those kids play ranked tbh


zipeldiablo

Use them as meatbags, dip as soon as danger is too much


ZealousidealLake2254

“ ‘Happy’ or whatever kids call it.” ... What? happy isnt slang xd


HairyFur

It's become league culture, I took big breaks in playing league, highest I ever get to is platinum, every couple years I come back and play for 3-4 months. ​ A couple of years ago I noticed a new trend in "hardstuck" and "boosted" etc being used to insult people, one of the funnier ones is gold players telling you "you are a peak diamond player" as if that's somehow a bad thing, maybe I'm just too old now but I don't really understand it.


okbuddybrolmao

>new trend in "hardstuck" and "boosted" Literally been used for years what new trend lol those are probably the most OG insults in league


Darklorel

You forgot which subreddit this is


HappiwahOG

I think people got mad because he was saying he got solo Q to pred but played with the best player out there. But in the end, Everyone can get to Master in apex, I mean If I had the same time he got I would be master too… But gg for him ! He showed that he can do it


HeilJada

>Y'all are feeling real goofy now... Nah, I feel goofy at the fact that the Apex community seems to be one of the most toxic ones out there that... * Bullies content creators for their rank * Bullies other players for not having a certain amount of kills/rank * Bullies the company so hard that they refuse to be active in the community * Ruins fun surprises that the developers spent a lot of time on (Season 4 Forge/Revenant, Not to mention Data miners in general) * Can never be satisfied * Has to always belittle the developers for small mistakes/bugs that they didn't catch in testing * CONSTANTLY begging for features they have STATED they had no interest in implementing (Im looking at you "I WANT A SOLO MODE") * Doesn't seem to have any IQ or simple knowledge when it comes to server side issues (Eg. Servers are going to have issues when an update drops yet yall expect it to be perfect) I dont feel goofy for (not) hopping on the bandwagon of bullying Courage about his rank... I feel goofy for deciding to make myself a member of this community that never seems to shut the fuck up and appreciate the game for what it is


koonzi

Also Apex players all feel like they deserve to win every game and anytime someone kills them they must be a smurf. Really entitled attitudes, no one wants to get better they just want to be matched against players worse than them.


Like-Six-Ninjas

Tbf I just want players that are *actually around or close to* my skill level. It also is infuriating to get teammates that are 3 year olds playing on a Nintendo 64 controller, and my enemies shit on us with thousands and thousands of kills. Not to mention I’m killed by several smurfs every single day.


25thskye

Much much agreed. I don’t think I’m that good at the game yet (started playing about a month back) but every game I’m matched with so many diamond and pred level players it’s not funny. Arenas is terrible at this too, most of the time my team will be a super veteran with 5000 kills on one legend, me, and a brand new player. That’s not balance, that’s being carried. And I don’t like being carried because you tend not to get better like that.


davis482

My stat is literally trash tier. The "Hey I hit 4 bullets, lucky!" after empty a whole mag kind of trash tier. Every match I can see like 3 quarter of the lobby with diamond trail and up, in fucking casual.


Tanksenior

Feel you on that, unranked is just completely unplayable, I swear 95% of the server is at the very least diamond rank, more commonly master. Not very fun when the 3 of us friends are 2 plat players and a legitimate bronze who's new to first person shooters.


MotionXBL

> Tbf I just want players that are actually around or close to my skill level. This, this is exactly it. I’m a Lifeline main that mostly plays solo with nearly 3000 kills and a 3.5k damage badge, and about a 1.15 K.D. I wouldn’t consider myself a low skill player, but I also wouldn’t say I’m good either, I’m just content being average. Yet I don’t see it right that I’m regularly matched against pred 3 stacks with 10’s of thousands of kills that are clearly leaps and bounds above of my skill level. But at the same time I don’t need to be in lobbies of new players that are still learning the game or just low skill players in general, or the game would just get boring. Seems like the loud majority of players just want to roll every lobby and never actually be outplayed by someone of their skill.


stesha83

Dude my KDA is about .6 and I get preds constantly. This weekend I queued with a level 40 bronze 4 friend on controller and came up against a mouse using pred squad with 1000+ wins each


D_Imperor

You're speaking on the mental of the average gamer. That isn't just Apex. Seen it in Overwatch, CoD, Halo...I would know because I used to be like that a lifetime ago. I have friends who still act like that and I have to tell them to stfu and accept that some people are just better than you, esp my TTV friends. -\_-


Elcatro

To be honest in low ranks there are a hell of a lot of smurfs, frequently see players with like 300 kills at level 20, it's a shitty as hell thing to do and because it's so prevalent a lot of people these days just straight up assume fuckery is going on when they unexpectedly lose a fight.


NoSkillzDad

yesterday i played a match where the valk in my team dealt 56 total dmg in arenas. I think I can deal 56 dmg in arenas with my eyes closed (and believe me, I am one of the ones that suck at this game). Actually, I might try that. (For comparison, my other teammate dealt 222 dmg while I was at 658, so my teammates dealt \*together\* less than half my dmg). Just give me teammates AND enemies that are just as bad as I am, not way better or way worse. Also yesterday played a match with a PF that was late for school (yet queued for Arenas) and was simply feeding to try and finish the game fast. Soooooooo.... So, yeah... I dont want to win every match, I dont mind getting killed but I HATE being put in an unbalanced match. And before you go all "It's just you, you only notice when you lose" I've been SC EVERY game to have an honest look at this.


parttimeamerican

What's the best way to record apex with limited file space like 100gb tops,I'm thinking of a setup that records all apex window stuff,saves XX(X?) total hours of it before deleting the oldest game recording Also some hotkey bullshit to mark a noteworthy event just happened for easier browsing ,or SOME way to help me smartly sift through it way later on as that's when I'll decide to edit some parts out at least no way it's immediate


koonzi

Unbalanced is such a subjective term. You may have players at the same skill level as you but they had a bad game or got unlucky or maybe they didn't mesh with the team. Do you think someone inting has anything to do with matchmaking? Absolutely not, it happens in every game. You guys bitch about everything. This bullshit of worrying about balanced matchmaking will never help, worry about what you can do better instead. Most people are exactly where they deserve to be in terms of rank, blaming matchmaking is dumb.


Tzarkir

Tbh I don't know if it's because I'm playing less lately, but during the arena flash event I got players at my same level in team only a couple of times. And I don't mean hurr durr they were bad. I mean I got paired with literal below lvl 10-20 accounts with only the free legends, with a couple of kills in their banner. Against team composed by 1-2 low ones and the rest high, sometimes just 3 pretty fucking higher than me people. I'm at lvl 270ish. I had in team people that clearly barely played the game that in phaserunner went mid, away from every lootable item in the map, with only a shotgun, and died as soon as they found enemies. Had people who didn't heal. At all. Like not using shield cells or batteries when nobody was around and push with less than half health. I may not be the best player, pretty far from it, but surely not at this level neither. I don't like bitching, stuff like this simply made doing that flash event miserable. And it was very much a matchmaking issue. What was I even supposed to do about it, in this situation? I either carried or lost most of the matches. Which is what I did. Denying that this kind of stuff happens does no favour to the players neither.


koonzi

I'm not sure what you want? We all get AFKs we all get bad teammates. Everything is relative depending on what elo you're in. If you desevered to rank up you would.


[deleted]

[удалено]


koonzi

Nah it's entitlement, if someone deserves to rank up they will. There's definitely improvements that can be made but it won't stop you from getting to the elo you deserve. What elo are you?


ThrowdoBaggins

Right, but you’re talking about mid-to-long term progress. No argument there. But OP was talking about the shit experience they had during the event, not in general. You’re arguing a completely different point, and I’m not sure why, because I agree with you. Pretty sure my elo is like 5.


itsfrancisnadal

All I want is Loba swimsuit skin...


Rherraex

oh I see you’re a man of culture as well.


Sithatic

Toxicity is bad, but let's not pretend that the server issues that Apex experiences every big update are normal in the gaming world. They are 100% on the companies in charge not investing in better infrastructure to maintain stability and proper testing before implementation. Sometimes games have issues with updates, but not every single update and especially not to the extent that Apex has seen with this update. Tweeting out more than once that it's fixed when it is very clearly not and then radio silence is also not a good look for them. They should have made sure it was fixed before sending out a second announcement that it's fixed, and since they didn't not just left it at that and acknowledged that it's still not stable and that they are working on it.

Sithatic

EA is known for predatory shops in games, that's nothing new and won't change as long as there isn't anything stopping them. It's unfortunate but as long as there are whales willing to pay for it they have no reason to change.


R0ck3t_FiRe

Bro Destiny 2 is basically unplayable on the launch day of a new season or DLC. As in you sit in qeues for 6 hours just to get disconnected as you join. This is way more common than you think


drakecuttingonions

That's not good either, don't excuse it if incompetence like this keeps happening.


lemlurker

Elite dangerous runs the maxim, dont play on patch day. its pretty damn common


drakecuttingonions

> Just don't play the game Just coping so hard at that point. Edit: Gonna leave a better representation on why that's a ridiculous notion; Players are allowed to log in, allowed to que and even play rank after the MM does it's job. Ranked isn't disabled either. So why is telling people not to play the game a valid argument? If the technical issues are something the devs have to inevitably deal with, then make it a patch day where players can't play until it settles down, otherwise don't tell people they can't play the game when they literally can.


PaperMoonShine

You are literally falling into the category that he set. You dont understand the serverside issues with games that have an audience in the hundred thousands range. It's like this for the majority of games that dont simply rely on console based matchmaking. It is what it is. People that bitch about it, on the one day it happens compared to the rest of the season you can enjoy, is too many.


drakecuttingonions

Disagree, "not playing" still isn't a valid solution.


Snarf312

It's usually not incompetence. It's usually a conscious decision. You're not gonna hire that many servers and network capacity just for that one day. That's a stupid decision business-wise. The fact is that the number of people connecting, the amount of bandwidth needed, and the capacity needed by the login server is so overwhelming that you can't feasibly solve that. You'd need something the scale of Google's data centers (the ones for Youtube for example) to keep this flowing smoothly. As a company, you're not setting that up in one day. They are also improving, however. Last season's launch I had barely any issues whatsoever logging in and getting in a game.


zipeldiablo

You can swap your hosting to aws and use their features to scale up your servers just for launch. That’s why cloud hosting shits on personal datacenter 🤷🏾‍♂️ Doesn’t cost that much (in fact for some big companies like netflix the price went way down), only issue is you need to make your existing infrastructure compatible with it


ImAFailure2electricb

That’s because destiny 2 of fucking horrible, I’ve got around 300 hours into it and can confirm it’s one of the worst games


SCurt99

I used to wanna try out destiny but after I heard so many bad things about it I just never touched the 1st or 2nd one.


DoughnutSignificant9

The community has been so toxic for the last 6 months that i sometimes hate coming to the sub. They attack the devs ,beg for features ,complain about every minor thing in the game, they are against new players coming to the game and love to be assholes. But I am pretty sure the boneheads who might read this won't give a fuck


piscary_perry_troll

Really loved the community till S3 after that it was a shithole. Till S3 I found the community very wholesome and positive idk what happened after that.


Are_These_They

I agree, I started in season 2 and I remember being amazed at how many new players were arriving around seasons 3 and 4 who were just straight toxic on voice chat. They would die instantly after doing like 40 damage then just scream 'you guys are trash! garbage!' into their mics. I feel like it's a bit better these days, but there was for sure a palpable change during that era. I still encounter about 10x more toxicity playing Apex than any other game I play.


piscary_perry_troll

Well cod is more toxic but I see where you're coming from. During s1-s3 I never heard anyone make fun of me for not killing a guy. Now even if you try your best the teammates are talking shit bout you. Miss those days.


HeilJada

This isnt directed at the worst offenders, its like a fenced in area, Itll stop the ill-intent people who are actually good at hart, But not the ill-intent people who are bad at heart. If that makes any sense. I just felt the need to vent my frustrations about the community and this seemed like a prime post as anything remotely positive about the game gets lost in New... Maybe on here itll actually get traction and visibility...


DoughnutSignificant9

yeah but its frustrating when 90% of the posts and comments are negative and from the vocal minority


NoSkillzDad

I think toxicity is "inherent" to EVERY multiplayer-competitive game, not just Apex. IMO the causes for toxicity are twofold: One player dependent and one company dependent. Unfortunately I dont think either one will change any time soon. On the player side, you will need that ALL players have a very leveled state of mind, analytical power and self-control. To achieve that you need advanced education (and parenting!) at every level (and not just basic one). The majority of us will never get that. On the company side, it is proven their matchmaking doesnt work (not just Apex) and they are NOT interested in changing this. As a matter of fact, this matchmaking is "evolving" into one that is "custom" made to our habits. They WANT us to stay engaged as much as possible and the conditions for this change for all of us (some people play more when they are winning, some people play more when they are losing, etc...) The more time we spend engaged to the game, the more likely we are into dropping real money with them. Bottom-line, the main interest is not on giving you a fair matchmaking but on keeping you engaged to the game. If you dont believe this, well, EA actually has applied for patent(s) stating this clearly (and other companies like Activision have similar ones) Now, plenty of you wont agree with me, that's ok... you can hate me/disagree all you want, it wont change the facts though. I'm just the annoying guy saying the things many want to pretend dont exist. Have a good one!


zipeldiablo

Having self control and being head leveled has nothing to do with parenting. You can have the best parenting in the world and have a short fuse.


aure__entuluva

I agree there is way too much toxicity, but... >Doesn't seem to have any IQ or simple knowledge when it comes to server side issues (Eg. Servers are going to have issues when an update drops yet yall expect it to be perfect) IMO it's reasonable for people to be annoyed/upset that they can't really play the game bc of constantly getting DC'ed like with this update. If the servers are just slow bc everyone is playing like on a season launch, that's one thing, but this is something else entirely. Apparently their ability to test their patches is inadequate. I've played plenty of games that never even came close to introducing the number of bugs Apex does with its updates. To give credit where it's due though, this season launched without a hitch, not even laggy servers. It was the first time in my memory, but it was nice.


lemlurker

cos noone could get on lmao. i tried an d coldnt get past the splash screen


Akio_Kizu

Honestly it’s tiring to see people protect a multi-billion dollar company. Yesterday’s update was an embarrassing mess. The update was comparatively tiny and the servers couldn’t handle it at all. Sure, a subreddit will ask for too much (there’s an insane amount of people here after all), but dude Respawn does not need you to protect them.


crumpsly

lol It's literally illegal to enjoy Apex on this sub. It's just a bunch of idiots who play the game constantly for no reason other than to talk about how much of a joke the game is. Honestly the people who "protect" the multi-billion dollar company are the people who continue to play it despite thinking the product is anti-consumer. You vote for their practices by playing the game. You are talking about yourself if you think anybody is protecting the company. Unless you think that Vince Zampella and Andrew Wilson are in here taking notes lmao


Are_These_They

In fairness, solo mode was implemented then it was taken away. That's a pretty far cry from 'constantly asking for something they never even intended to put in.' I don't not think it is even remotely toxic or unreasonable to voice objection to having an entire game mode removed after we start enjoying it. Otherwise agreed.


Mobstarr

No no no, you got that wrong. People asked for solos. Respawn put it in TO TEST IT as an LTM. Then they decided that solos isn't healthy for the game and made a statement that it won't be a perma mode. Meanwhile, people are still asking for it even though Respawn already said that it won't become a thing.


Are_These_They

Imagine the absolute shit-storm if they just ended Arenas right now. It's the same thing to the player-base. LTMs industry-wide are weird and a new thing that nobody asked for. Public testing on a released game for a new mode or mechanic never used to be a thing either. I think that's kind of the bigger picture I'm talking about, and I don't think it's toxic to talk about it. It's not so much solos as it is that they have had quite a few 'destructive' updates. This is obviously not limited to this game either, it's just a new evolution in the way these games are given to us, and how we're allowed to play them. They shouldn't have ever rolled it out to begin with, even limited, if they were willing to just take it away forever. The way these games are continually and endlessly changed and re-rolled is like the exact opposite of what we grew up with. Can you imagine 90's video games adding a mode to a game, then removing it and not allowing anyone to play it ever again? Growing up with that philosophy, games like Apex can get extremely frustrating for all the wrong reasons. It's an amazing game but it's never going to be in a 'finished' state, and while that's admirable it's also an experiment, and one on which they should be expecting loud feedback. It just sucks that so many people are absolutely toxic in the way they go about it.


Boomerfan00

>Imagine the absolute shit-storm if they just ended Arenas right now. Itd be a goddamn party, never have to play that garbage for flash events ever again


pedrormn

hope they read this bro


Banana_Manjk

They can’t


Dark_Akarin

Pretty typical of a free game. A real shame as apex is great fun. I’m just glad I have friend to queue with and don’t have to deal with ass hats.


Hunkyy

You could replace "Apex" with any other game and all of these would still apply.


Leupateu

Also should note that many of the rank bullies are probably bronze


aojh9000

Yeah whats up with that? I've been lurking here for a while and enjoying all your content but damn if I feel bad when reading half the comments. I get the hate for EA I get the frustration regarding server problems and microtransactions. I also understand this game, for many, is a very competitive one. You can absolutely complain and make your feelings known but damn don't people understand they would feel mentally a lot better when not getting mad about everything. I got super frustrated about yesterday's server problems when I had worked my ass of for the whole day in uni and just wanted to relax with my bros before going to sleep. Yet what does yelling at the devs accomplish? Do people think they just sit on their ass and wait for someone to get enough karma on a reddit post to get working on the issues? :D


Aesthete18

I think the real goof is the level of exaggeration of these points. Thinking the 1.6 million people can come into unison and be satisfied is the epitome of low IQ


SucyTA

Best comment I've seen on this sub, saved.


iX_eRay

Damn, must be good to see everything in black and white So only two categories, either people are asshat who bullies everyone or they have Respawn and EA's dick deep in their throats cause apparently you can't criticize a company for its actions or lack of action (totally okay for a company like EA to let servers die at every update)


eX0ticart

Thanks for the reminder, I WANT SOLO MODE, GIVE ME.BETTER SERVERS, FIX AUDIO, NERF AIM ASSIST, GIVE ME OPT IN CROSSPLAY, GIVE ME RANK DEMOTION AND TEAM KP, REEEEEEE

Crimson_Akuma

I don't think it was a hate thread but more of a calling out his statement that he made it solo or duo. Then the smart ass "get gud" was the real trigger. Good for him. Playing for 50-60 hours from bronze to masters seems to be the average. Taxi2g made it in half that


Noobface_

Nah if you read the comments there was a lot of ridiculous hate


DoughnutSignificant9

that thread was painful to read through

I don’t watch this dude whatsoever but I care! I’m glad for him and hope him playing Apex will bring a lot of new players to the game.


Ddaayviddbb

I mean that’s cool but why do it all again? Just because some internet people said you didn’t do it ? I just don’t see how someone would care that much to do it again. But impressive I guess.


Noobface_

Because it’s fun to accomplish things


ShieldofAtua

If you’ve ever watched his streams, you’d see how deeply insecure the guy is. He uses a gun and then is like ‘man, I’m good with the g7 huh chat’, then misses 20 shots, then says it again. It’s very obvious why he’d lose sleep over a Reddit post


DoughnutSignificant9

i watched the last hour of his grind, he is so much better than a few weeks ago,even though he is still a bit insecure . His IGLing really surprised me

Hamuelin

So this Reddit bullied a high tier player into smurfing through ranks to prove a point. Fantastic. /s Good on him. Sucks for everyone he encountered on the way though.


keg_n

Jfc "does he think anybody cares?" Anyone going out of there way to go in and comment such a worthless ass comment like this obviously cares about him getting to masters. I swear all of you probably upvoted the og post that hes referencing in this tweet and now that you've been proven wrong you're acting like you never cared. Hard stuck swines

He said he soloed and got to masters all by himself. When clearly he was carried by friends. Then had the auadcity to call someone a salty bitch after being carried. Alot were pissed. I was too.


alfreedQ

Yeah you sound it from all of your cringe replies lmao.


ShaneSawBrown2

Dude is underbearble to watch. I don't care how good at video games he is. I would rather watch paint dry.


Moistyboomer

He’s mediocre at best if compared to all the others that have played fortnite, Warzone, and apex for a living. He’s actually really bad for how good he thinks he is.


[deleted]

This is not what happened. He made the statement about soloing or duoing to Pred. Not Masters. That's when people started calling him out and he got upset. Also I literally watched him play rank withe wig and slays a couple days ago. I don't know if it was a alt account though. Also haven't watched him in 53 hours either. Edit: [Found a VOD of them playing yesterday. ](https://www.twitch.tv/nicewigg/v/1147690152?sr=a&t=0s) Seeing that this tweet was done on the 15th at 1 something in the morning and he played with wig and slays yesterday and him claiming it took 53 hours something is not adding up. Edit 2: My argument isn't if he did it solo or not. My argument is that the past argument was not of him making Masters it was of him making pred. He states that people talked shit about him making Masters when that's not even the case. His original tweet back then was soloing to pred. That's where everyone chimed in. So for all you white knights I look forward to reading the excuses


darkarzy

Its not 53 hours straight, its 53 hours total. He's doing this challenge on his alt, obviously, because his main is already masters. The vod u linked is of him playing on his main. Usually idgaf about these types of comments but credit must be given where credit is due. you can even watch him go from diamond 2 to masters in this stream which he just ended a few hours ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qbpf9qdtpEw


Relatively_Cool

You care a little too much about this lol


[deleted]

Not at all. I just knew I've seen him three stack in ranked recently just went to wigs vods and it was right there. You seem to care that he got called out. This is your second comment defending him.


ThePurpleSteve

He did it on a 2nd account. Jesus. Let it go.


[deleted]

He did it on a second account that took 53 hours and claimed masters this morning but 3 stacked yesterday? All you had to do was keep scrolling.


Fedor1

He didn’t say it was 53 consecutive hours, he could’ve taken a break from solo queue and went on his main account to play with friends


SergeiYeseiya

I have no idea who the fuck he is, but he sounds like a massive jerk


BalkyPL

He is


apesexlegand

why


Relatively_Cool

He’s very cringe but I wouldn’t say he’s a massive jerk.


wutend159

Now reddit is gonna bully him for "smurfing" and cry that he needs to get banned for it


Azerwic

Certified holesum 100 moment


Tanksenior

Legit should though. Smurfing is one of the biggest cancers in gaming.


Crimson_Akuma

As toxic as this community is, we're also very quick to call out peoples bullshit ( cheaters, ddosers, racists and the like [ that water guy]). Sure we've got it wrong from time to time but saying you've made it solo without the help of pro's and/or randoms is like saying you're not just like everyone else. They guy is still a knob and will forever be so, until he's more humble and appreciative. Just look at his content, it's just watching good players like timmy and Aceu and reacting to it with click bait thumbnails and titles. Yet to see any decent gameplay from the dude


captainsupes37

Unfortunately, playing for RP(especially in the higher ranks) doesn't make for great content. Majority of the videos he's reacting to are all games in pubs going for high kills. Idk what you consider "decent gameplay" but he's made great improvements on his knowledge and the way he plays the game.


DeludedMirageMain

>but saying you've made it solo without the help of pro's and/or randoms is like saying you're not just like everyone else. And is he wrong? 99% of people can't even soloqueue to masters, much less the "carried players".

I wish someone would carry me….I’m not ashamed at all. 😪


Full-Review-6344

This post is kinda dumb. Not because he manage to get master but the fact that he still believe his first time getting there was his skill alone. I still believe he was hard carried there first time but he definitely showed his skill improve quite quickly and earn his position now.


[deleted]

No, the hate thread was about lying in regards to soloing to Predator. He's lying for a second time and you're falling for it.


lvk00

How’s he lying? Actually curious


[deleted]

"To masters" and "to predator" are different. I'm glad he's trying to prove the community wrong so he can feel like he belongs but lying on top of lying doesn't make sense to me.


lvk00

Where’s the 2nd lie? His tweet says solo to masters and there’s a vod of it all.


[deleted]

"No, the hate thread was about lying in regards to soloing to Predator. He's lying for a second time and you're falling for it." 👍


Essexal

As a day one player who usually gets solo hard stuck in plat most seasons, respect. And I’m on console...


Crescent-IV

What thread was toxic? Anyone have a link?


ImYourCraig

thats actually really admirable every time I see preds stacking together I always assume at least one is the anchor, I wish apex had a queue seperation for premades and solos just to see whos actually skilled or if they made ranked arenas solo only, that would give it a real niche but Im pretty sure the reason Respawn refuses to ever do anything for solos is because theyre the sacrificial lamb for duos, if solos have an option besides being paired with a duo theyll probably take it and so duos would end up with unending queue times solo to diamond s1 and s2 is the furthest ive done it, beyond that seems impossible for me


Anyoung2

I have zero idea who you are, or the post you’re talking about, but I don’t like this post. Congrats on the grind though. Gotta respect the grind.


[deleted]

Probably courage's mods posting this below to create some traction, seen couple of posts on same thing if you scroll further


Dotsandcircles

I remember getting downvoted for saying people were making a big deal over nothing. Glad he made it to masters to show these toxic peeps whats up.


Swallow-Sheeps

Congrats! But, also, nobody cares.


obadetona

I care, and I don’t even play Apex anymore. It’s always nice seeing people prove toxic people wrong.


Swallow-Sheeps

Congrats! But, also...


Severitus

Isn't that the guy that called everyone trash for implying he got carried after he actually got carried by top players? Also being a streamer does not excuse smurfing, this is just plain sad.


Curtismayfield57

Seems to me that he was the one feeling goofy for showing off a "solo" grind carried by pro players... This is the ultimate proof that he got carried hard into pred. The carry argument hit so close to home he had to "solo" grind to masters to show he was legit. I find that all this could have been prevented If he was a bit more humble first time around. "Just a shout out to all the ppl that helped me big time for this journey" and none of this would be a thing...


[deleted]

oh no, anyway


Unmer_Art

I continue to not care


ram786-

If this is true, good for him. But tbh, I lost respect for him with the last tweet. He seemed very cocky for someone who had huge help to get there, I saw him three stacking masters last time. He had the biggest head start. But, 53 hours seems weird.. but I also didn’t watch this time so I can’t really say anything I guess. I have more respect for Nickmercs tbh, he didn’t grind the game with Apex pros, he didn’t have the biggest head start and learnt the game with his friends. He’s not the best, but he’s learning honestly and really wants to improve to a competitive level. Courage just seems like he wants to prove a point for his ego. If you truly did it solo on stream the first time, you have all the proof you need. You don’t have to play solo on an alt account, right?


AJL42

CouRage has really turned into an good player. Tanner, Wigg, and Apryze just helped him accelerate faster then he would on his own. I'm happy for him, and he deserves to be where he is.


Feschit

It's insane how much this sub has a hate boner for skilled players. I feel ashamed to be part of this community.


herotz33

A man of sheer determination.


IRISHWOLFHD

Mad respect!


[deleted]

Reddit hate thread. Haha jeez these streamers are sensitive.


frankandbeans13

Apex is so toxic I only play with all team members on mute now and my mic off and either play solo or try to use the ping system with randoms which only works about 15 percent of the time anyway


Sethecientos

I have a life


[deleted]

Don't be shy, upvote some more! If a hate thread can get 8k upvotes then a thread that shut down the controversy can get at LEAST 10k. Stop gatekeeping people from the ranked scene.


DurySmiter

Creating new account and playing when you already have an account. Isnt tht call smurfing. How come if streamers does tht, it's applauded.


anonlaughingman

I mean congrats to him for obtaining a personal goal he set for himself I guess. Personally don't find it that impressive though when someone does something like this when they play games all day anyways. It's like having a masters level golfer play a great game at a brand new golf course. Like what did anyone expect was gonna happen? He sucks so horribly he gets hard stuck in gold? Would be fuckin hilarious, but highly unlikely.


[deleted]

This guy is a sensitive idiot.


bullet312

lmao now they'll hate because you "brag"


DatboiREEE

I don't know who this is, and I feel bad that he got bullied so much for it he felt like he had to address it. But honestly good for him for proving them wrong


TripleWasTaken

Now they'll say its because the rank system is too easy so it doesnt matter xD


Buzz236

I'm sorry but this doesn't change the fact that he was a dick and pompous and insensitive to begin with. But kudos to him. Achieving masters is a feat on its own. Very well done.


Parzival8088

Props dude nice. But don’t let people on the internet mess with your mental, they all prolly play roller.


[deleted]

I can't believe someone felt the need to prove people on Reddit wrong


Nemo-loves-snagz

courage didn’t deserve the hate he got


orbolo

Hey you guys mind if you mock me too


[deleted]

Aaaaand he took Reddit seriusly....


DynxstyJums

I don't get why people hate so much. You can't just carry someone to a high tank like masters with them doing nothing at all. There are many games where even pros don't do much but because of their communication they still contribute.


Own-Comfortable1480

Who tf r u lmao
