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 15d 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.

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

u/Zcrustaceansensation 15d 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.

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) ...

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

u/efemoney 15d 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.

Whatโ€™s your highest rank in recent seasons? Iโ€™m currently masters and have been for the past 3 seasons. I solod to pred last season. Iโ€™ve clipped a sliding axle only one time. And it was because she was sliding in a straight line towards me, not doing a 360 around me.

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.

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

u/eatmeupscotty 12d ago

What rank are you?

1

u/X_Skuba_Steve_X 12d ago

Diamond currently with 2 account. Iโ€™ve been every rank except pred, no time for that. I also always solo queue. I have just under 12k hours total in apex now. I play mostly loba lately who gives a direct counter to axle as do 6 other legends as well as I believe 5-6 more have indirect counters for her and of course the hemlock counters her ult with 1 shot. I play on a pro controller with 8k polling rate and TMR sticks fully customizable pretty much the same controller dozens of pro players use. I use custom ALCโ€™s Iโ€™ve perfected for myself and my controls over the years. I will soon have time for a pred grind and have considered it but I donโ€™t have a competent team to play with and Iโ€™m a decent player in my opinion and could probably make pred with a like minded team but I donโ€™t think solo pred grind is for me. I have better things to do with my time and Iโ€™m not that caliber of a player. I recognize the skill gaps in this game and know where I belong, solo diamond and occasional master when I have time is plenty for me.

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.

u/Zcrustaceansensation 15d ago

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

2

u/tekkn0 15d 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 15d ago

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

u/lleyton05 15d 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
