Also wouldnt recommend watching streamers as this is NOT DOTA2 were you can employ tactics.. In the game APBR is all about your skill, timing and positions (and nades)...Just keep on playing ! tactics are def a fairly large part of the game, and can cover even significantly potato aim most of the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kingley 11 Posted June 11, 2018 16 hours ago, JohnNighthawk said: A few days ago I started to land more shots because I asked some guy that was just absolutely wrecking me for help. I've been practicing the NTEC. I now shoot inside a weapon's viable range and tapfire, which works wonders for my aim, I flank, not taking the same path as my teammates and I can visibly see some improvement, but there's still a lot of high level players that absolutely destroy me. I've seen people tapfiring the NTEC so fast and accurately, even when you're moving, and I've no idea to achieve that level of skill. I usually play in bronze servers. Sometimes I get ridiculous scores like 18-3 vs some silvers or bronze, other times I get scores like 2-12 against other silvers or golds. It's because of this constant contrast that I feel that I'm not exactly improving or playing versus people my level. Should I keep practicing? Should I wait for LO to "fix" the matchmaking/ranking systems? I'm not trying to lash out at anything, I just legit want to know how to get better. Thanks in advance for all the tips. The best thing is to play with friends.I have noticed that when I cooperate with my friend the matches got A LOT easier.So thats my advice for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kino 1 Posted June 11, 2018 I'm not that good, but I can say that your mood does matter. More often than not, you're going to do better when you are in a better mood. Once you start getting pissed, that's when you normally start to perform even worse. I'm super guilty of this over my many hours put into the game. Best thing I can tell you is to try to get some friends or join a clan that can give you a good atmosphere while playing. It can certainly be competitive, but it's gotta stay positive. If someone starts blaming YOU for stuff then I would immediately consider not playing with them anymore. There are ways that a friend can give you feedback in a positive and constructive manner on your gameplay. If you or your group find yourselves mad/upset from APB, then consider taking a short breather. Whether that be leaving the game to play something else, going to hang out in social for a bit, or even getting something to eat. Take a break and come back when you and/or everyone is in a better mood/attitude. Best of luck to you, and remember to have fun!

But on a more serious note, the best way to become better, with a fixed matchmaking or not, is to keep playing, but with different guns. Different loadouts offer different playstyles, which you need to learn. A sniper loadout is usually revolved around getting high ground, keeping distance as much as possible and trying to get the enemy in open areas. A close-quarter loadout is revolved around you flanking and getting close to the enemy. But overall, it's all about practice. And...asking good players what to do. If there are some willing to teach. the only thing i noticed missing is --- learn the other weapons and how to counter them which is why its so important to use various weapons and learn their styles in doing so you can also learn how someone will try to counter you..... countering a counter usually means they die and you don't Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then one day after getting beaten by ntec everyday , i made a promise to myself that I WILL LEARN IT NO MATTER WHAT ... Lemme remind you, i was GOLD 15 , using a gun that i have never used before (because i simply hated AK47 in everygame)... Because of my promise to myself, i started using ntec... First week was hard, mainly because i had no idea how to use ntec and then....I wasnt against silvers or bronzes, i was against the ELITES and ofcourse cheaters (bitfenix/carte blache/solace/CCTV) etc... ~snip~ Around a month later, other players started calling me cheater non stop because i got THAT good with ntec... xD this guy is trustworthy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
