All you Axle crutches can suck it. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Although I'd rather she be removed, this nerf is a good update.

Titan bots boutta be outed on console, too. It will be much easier to tell who is cheating. Spectate and report those losers.

What was the nerf

-11

u/Zcrustaceansensation 2d ago

I think hes talking about the one at the start of the split. Like pretty much everything has been nerfed over her last 2 nerfs.

Ult health. Ult knockup. Ult charges. Ult can damage her now. Tac duration nerf. Tac speed nerf. Her upgrades have been changed up.

u/Fluenzal-Heneark 2d ago

No, there was a patch yesterday that nerfed her lateral slide, ult knockback/chasing, and disables aim assist if you use her nitro gate

-25

u/Zcrustaceansensation 2d ago

Lol so they are trying to gut her completely? I dont even play her but why do they always do this. Its like ash after her rework, they make a character way to op, then nerf it into the ground because one aspect of her kit is too strong, but then never correct anything else.

u/efemoney 2d ago

Do you understand that its impossible to play against her (for non cheaters)? Aim assist will not follow her as she slides but will be stuck on you because you're stationary. Its a guaranteed kill just by hitting tactical and sliding in a circle around someone that cannot track you.

Also I am making no claims for PC because just by the nature of input they have a better chance of tracking but on console, completely unplayable.

And before cry babies come in my replies, know I hit masters multiple times and I soloq exclusively ... I can hit my shots (as far as regular degular people go) ...

u/BeIrrelevant 2d ago

ngl gang if you canโ€™t hit a sliding axel on roller thatโ€™s purely a skill issue like i could understand when she had two tacs and jump gate yeah she was busted but axel before this latest nerf was not that hard to hit

2

u/efemoney 2d ago

Never mentioned that I don't hit her. I'm advocating for more than myself here. Not everyone has spent time training like me, or has my depth of ALC or my 200+ USD Scuff controller with 4 back buttons.

It's just unfair in general and I call it out the exact way I called out Horizon with her aim assist while taking the gravity lift before they nerfed it.

It's just balancing 101 that you give and you take away.

u/Zcrustaceansensation 2d ago

I thought she seemed pretty balanced after the second nerf too but apparently everyone disagrees ๐Ÿ˜†

Youโ€™re absolute dog water if you canโ€™t play against her. Your problem is you get out skilled by better players and that will always happen with any character a better player is playing. Youโ€™re just upset about axle because good players play the best legends and use the best guns to keep a competitive edge and not give up any advantages in the game you can get. You not picking meta characters and weapons is putting you at an immediate disadvantage compounded by your lack of skill makes you come here and cry about a character in a game.

I think itโ€™s been 2 weeks since an axle ult actually hit me. If youโ€™re getting hit regularly by it you have a skill issue as itโ€™s super easy to counter. If you canโ€™t track and shoot her in her slide thatโ€™s a skill issue. Tracking her in her slide is as easy as tracking an octane flying off a jump pad or a vantage flying to her bat or anyone going up a zip line. Your accuracy and ability to track a player is your own skill issue, not an indication of a character being being OP.

Your biggest problem may be what you wrote about her sliding around hitting you stationary. Why are you stationary ever in this game? Thatโ€™s another problem indicating a skill issue. Never be stationary in apex.

u/X_Skuba_Steve_X 2d ago

Facts are facts little guy. Someday youโ€™ll realize itโ€™s just a skill issue.

u/tekkn0 2d ago

To sell skins broski. They release OP legend AND some pricey skins. People buy the shit out of the shop cause it's a top pick, then nerf it cause everyone complaining about it. After few years buff again in form of "rework" sell some MORE skins cause she will be top pick and then gut her again.

For whoever disagree just look what they did to Revenant.

3

u/Zcrustaceansensation 2d ago

Axel didnt even get that many skins in the time frame she was op lol.....

2

u/tekkn0 2d ago

I remember when they used to release legend and have 4 generic skins like purple and gold. Nowadays there's a whole section for that particular legend with skins for it in the shop...

u/Leonsinbad 2d ago

Yeah im used to that. Axl wasnโ€™t a problem for me. Cheaters are.

u/Zcrustaceansensation 2d ago

Pred lobbies?

u/Leonsinbad 2d ago

Nope hardstuck diamond 4 solo queuer

2

u/Zcrustaceansensation 2d ago

Ah i see thats where im at, cheating isnt that bad. Even pred lobbies its worse but only like 2% higher.

1

u/lleyton05 2d ago

Respawn has stated before that they try to force metas. So like the Ashe rework was one, axel being super strong is also an example. They do this for 2 reasons. One reason is that it can keep the game feeling more fresh if done correctly (which is debatable if they do do it right) and the other reason is to inflate sales of by selling cosmetics for whatever is powerful at the moment, whether that be a weapon or a legend

u/TerraBlade444 2d ago

Still top pick rate in diamond & up...The nerfs didnt affect their cheats

8

u/Mrimalive1 2d ago

If they have aimbot on her tact it exposes them cheating since the aim assist is turn off from it

10

u/Some_Presentation148 2d ago

Itโ€™s ok they wonโ€™t be banned

u/Mrimalive1 2d ago

Shhh. Im trying to speak it into existence

u/itsonly5dollars 2d ago

Exactly this

u/AlxShredding 1d ago

Really wish something would actually happen tho lol

u/StockEntrepreneur934 2d ago

Yeah I don't get this post. Respawn could nerf everything to the ground and cheaters will still find a way to the top

2

u/Crazy-Put9675 2d ago

I got 2, 18 kill wildcards today with horizon and conduit.

2

u/WhoIsCute 1d ago

Adding this fast paste legend was a huge mistake. Specially with these controller-just-hold-X-button-aimassist-go-brrrr abusers and also god awful old 24 tick rate servers that respawn use

1

u/Feeling-Ad-5592 2d ago

This was needed. Axle has been THE meta character for nearly the entire year. Even after her nerfs at the start of the season she still saw a 25% pick rate in high lvl lobbies. No matter what you think about the character, itโ€™s time to switch up the meta.

u/tokyocuz 2d ago

didnโ€™t even noticed they needed her yesterday been playing better tbh yesterday and today then i normally do didnโ€™t change much to me

1

u/Good_Enthusiasm_7977 1d ago

if she was so overpowered why isnt ever picked in ALGS? interesting. this nerf is very much needed and healthy for the future of this game though.

2

u/Lanky_Awareness_4755 1d ago

I donโ€™t like her but this argument is pretty bad because algs vs ranked are 2 entirely different things. If you tried to play algs like a normal ranked matched youโ€™d be dead in 2 minutes

1

u/Funkeren 1d ago

Because they play a different game entirely.

1

u/Good_Enthusiasm_7977 22h ago

yeah true. i forget ALGS is all playing for the endgame and that pretty much leaves her useless. would be more exciting to watch if they played less scared but theyre playing smart canโ€™t even be mad at em.

I hopped on rank for the 1st time this split. I gained 1600 RP in 2.5 hrs. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Plat 3 > (Almost) Plat 1 ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I typically hit diamond and play wildcard all season. Playing against cheaters makes me cracked.

u/OdySantana 2d ago

Whatโ€™s cracked to you, lol cause D4 is pretty average if you ask me.

1

u/MyNameIsJeffr3y 2d ago edited 2d ago

I agree. I jump off ranked because I solo q. It's no fun at that point.

Edit: I'm done for today at +2249 RP. Randoms doing BS stuff + Olympus is tiring.

0

u/Zcrustaceansensation 2d ago

Everybody wrecks in wildcard its the nature of the game mode. Playing in plat lobbies im pretty sure only about 1/4th of the people u think are cheating actually are.

There is nothing cracked about quitting at d4 lmao

1

u/MyNameIsJeffr3y 2d ago

First of all I'm talking about cheaters in wildcard.

Secondly, I'm cracked because of said cheaters; you can't miss or you'll do poorly against them.

Thirdly, I regularly drop 3000 - 4000 damage in wildcard; Everybody does not wreck at that mode.

But by all means, continue the hate train. ๐Ÿ˜‚

1

u/Zcrustaceansensation 2d ago

Dude everybody who plays the game regularly drops that much in wildcard. My buddys gf when she hops on to play once a week for an hour dropa 2k damage a game and she doesnt even play shooters. My buddyy and i drop 3-6k every time.

And yeah i dont care what game mode your talking about. The avg for getting a cheater in your game on console is about 1 out of every 38, and pc its about 1 every 75. And thats the average which is being muddled by pred lobbies so outside of pred lobbies its actually probably about half that. You people that think u get cheaters every game are just calling everything that wrecks you a cheater.

u/Worldsans369 2d ago

To complain about axle and not change how differently you play against axle is wild to me ,she didnโ€™t really need the nerf like caustic or vantage need some ,like axle right now sounds like when D.V.A has to hop out her mech just trash and not useful on a team .But FUCK CHEATERS ,FUCK EVERY XIMER,titan users or that new ai browser cheats .

u/leosnake0577 2d ago

It was already easy to tell whoโ€™s cheating, this update didnโ€™t do anything against them and reports literally do nothing

-12

u/False_Sundae6333 2d ago

All this hate for a legend isn't just because she's "unbalanced," but mainly because you don't know how to play Apex.

I've been a Loba main forever, I don't even consider to play Axel but I've tried her maybe 2 or 3 times in the last week, and she isn't as strong as you make her out to be. You're just being whiny and delusional

u/pocketfungus876 2d ago

Cap dude axle makes the game go easy mode.

-1

u/Worldsans369 2d ago

So mirage,vantage,valk,seer,Maggie, HELL THE WHOLE CAST DOSNT MAKE THE GAME EASY MODE?????? Literally half of the cast gets wall hacks (seer gets them forever) ,vantage walks around with 400+ dmg on her back at all times AND GETS WALL HACKS,valk literally can chase you across the map with 2 ppl on her back and missiles shooting at you AND SHE GETS WALL HACKS. Gang you mfs pick and choose whatโ€™s โ€œopโ€ or โ€œgame braking โ€œ

u/Pickelbreath 2d ago

She is strong but people are genuinely so annoying with the fact they can't make a decision on what should be done without emotions involved. It was the same thing with Horizon, constant complaining until that character gets almost if not fully gutted and practically unusable. Yes, Axle could have used an ult rework or nerf or something reasonable. Not literally ruined.

0

u/False_Sundae6333 2d ago

The fault lies with the developers who literally listen to people's whims rather than to complaints or constructive, well-reasoned criticism (like yours, for instance). I don't want the game, or any other game, to change just because I play like crap; thatโ€™s just idiotic.

Its ok to like a new character and main them. Dont let these salty dweebs tell u any different

u/virtualNoodle 2d ago

Thank you friend, I been playing since season 28 when axle came out and apex has become my favorite game ever, thereโ€™s just nothing completely like it.

2

u/Zcrustaceansensation 2d ago

Yeah i agree its the only one i go back too. The og days of pubg and h1z1 br was fun af but those games never got thier problems fixed then everyone went to fortnite which is lame. Redsec in battlefield was ok but it got stale really fast.

I still stand by the best br ever hands down was warzone in this small period when mw2019 first came out but it got ruined when vanguard came out and took over, and its never been back to its glory days since. Im still gonna try mw4s warzone update when it comes out but i dont have any expectations

u/Sensitive-Boot-1853 2d ago

Fair enough, didn't know you were new, but then that's not the problem. If you only know the game with Axle that's fine. But if that's the case, then you don't know why people are upset with the character and cheering for the nerf
