Getting to grips with LOBA now. Had a 6 kill win this afternoon. I might finally move on from Lifeline as a main....

Can't play on discord unless the missus is out sadly. I get soooo frustrated with Randoms.
Simple tips like:
1) When Lifeline is on your team and close by, let her revive. She has a shield, drone and faster revive. You can use the shield as cover and pop in and out behind it.
2) If 2 teammates are down and one of them is Lifeline, pick her up first. She can then deploy drone and pick up the other teammate while you hold the fort. Otherwise, you have 1 player with 1hp trying to defend all 3 of you. It doesn't end well.
3) Don't drop bunker unless you have Caustic on your team....... Better still, don't drop bunker at all.
4) Don't stand still and loot. I run Sentinel as 2nd weapon with 2x whenever practical just for this reason
5) Don't D/C when downed at the beginning of a match. The number of times I've killed off 4 or 5 enemy at the drop to have both teammates D/C is unbelievable. There should be a 5 minute cooldown if players D/C before squad wipe.
6) Ping everything. Especially enemy.
7) Engage at the appropriate time. If there is ground to cover to get to the zone and you have any weapon other than a Sniper, you won't kill them from across the map. But you will alert them to you and your squads' presence, and they will snipe you whilst you try to get to the zone....
7a) As above. Don't trade Assault rifle fire at distance with Sniper fire. You can't win and you will run out of ammo. Reposition closer to your advantage. If they have snipers, then they will only have 1 close quarter weapon. Get in and go for the knock.
8) If you are left alone, play centre zone. wait for 3 squads left and engage only when the last 2 squads are fighting. I've had maybe 20 solo wins like this, occasionally without firing a single shot.
9) If you are downed get to cover, don't crawl towards your teammates. It gives away their position especially if they need to heal.
10) After a fight, reload while taking cover, heal then loot. 3rd parties are always waiting for the knock/kill /squad count to decrease before jumping in with their gold armour, level 3 kitted R99, Havoc or whatever loaded and ready to go. Good teammates will listen to your pings and share the loot around.
11) Use your ears. Positional audio is good most of the time in Apex. Except when there is no audio .....
12) Prefire corners, especially with the Havoc.
All excellent points and advice. A few in here could do with paying attention to some of them!My origin name changes with the wind ....

I agree with 99% of that except sentinel is garbage and I still like a bunker run!My origin name changes with the wind ....

Looking at the changes, I like most of them however, whilst they are saying that they are trying to disincentivise wraiths abilities, I read each one as more of a significant improvement ???
It's more of a change rather than a direct nerf. Sure the activation time is higher and she can be 'silenced' before it starts but she now phases for 4 seconds instead of 3, moves faster and can see enemies in the Void too.

But that's my point, they are commenting that she can bug out too easily, but they are increasing that bug out time, and adding the ability to see others whilst doing it.
So now they can escape whilst hiding , and also now have more ability to attack.

but if you see one bugging out then you can focus on them and they are extra vulnerable.
Aye wraith's tactical is poop...it's a big "I'm low" sign with a handy trail to follow for an easy kill
Don't get me wrong there are still great players that use controller but for the majority of controller players its purely down to aim assist because it compensates and help so much.. it's little wonder people who have pc still use controllers.
They should disable or at least netf it to make it a level playing field. Is cross platform out yet?

First 2k damage game today. Feels good.

So steadily improving with this.
My dream setup usually involves the Mastiff (over the Evo 8) and either the G7 Scout or the Hemlok.
Although I am partial to a Triple Take as well if I have an optic in my backpack.
My usual damage output per round is 450 to 475, and my personal best is 1980.
My main? Bangalore, and a close second being Octane. I would love to improve with Wraith, but I simple cant get the hang of her abilities.
Frustrations?
1)Dropping, not getting a shield or a gun and getting knocked within 30 seconds. Happens far too much for me.
2)Rambo players who seem to forget the fact that they are in a squad.
3)My inability to use the wingman properly.

Something weird has happened. Today in normal random play the matchmaking has me playing alongside and against VERY skilled players. I played ranked for a day yesterday and got to Silver quite quickly but surely that doesn't affect normal trio games? With 1800 hours behind me, the sudden leap in player abilities is really noticeable.
