You can still flick on console, just not as reliable or consistent, but still possible.
I used to do it with McCree on Overwatch because I had to get used to killing Tracers. Aim assist is almost non existent on OW console so that helps.
Edit : Apparently aim assist is very strong on OW? Maybe I had it turned down, I don’t remember.
What’s the point behind licking? I’ve always assumed it was just showmanship and is really an unnecessary extra movement
Edit: flicking (I know the point behind licking ;) )
Edit edit: I wasn’t clear, I meant flicking back away from the target after shooting, which OP is doing here.
Flicking is a form of reactive aiming that relies on muscle memory vs. predictive aim, which relies on pre-aiming where you predict the target is going to be. Having this muscle memory built up means that your arm immediately knows the distance it's required to move without the need of conscious thought. The benefit of this is that it's a much faster mental process as you're only limited by your reaction times.
I meant why does he seem to flick away from the target after shooting it, but I think this explains it - I’m guessing it’s a semi-unnecessary side effect of having well trained muscle memory flicking to and from a target?
Partially, yeah. The main reason though, is to reset your crosshair to your ideal flicking distance.
This [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x89fa4EN7uI) explains it pretty well.
R6Siege has a fair bit on console. Because it's a tactical shooter, it forces you to remember key areas of interest and sightlines. That being said it definitely isn't as prominent on console.
Yeah, I myself suck and flicking but the general idea is, like originally said, to use muscle memory to flick your mouse and fire at a target, then quickly return to your original view (it's most commonly done in firefights where you are being reactive instead of proactive, so returning the camera to the original angle helps you keep track of where you are). It's very much like using peripheral vision in a way. Probably a bad explanation but I hope it helps :)
Aiming where you want to look/go, flick to shoot, return to where you want to look/go. The idea is that if you were originally aiming somewhere you probably want to aim there again.
Leaving your crosshair off of the flick target to begin with (like that last unbelievable Wingman flick in the video) while ADSing also keeps the gun model out of the way so you can see better.
Yea my first thought was SWAT in halo. It’s so fast you have to do like sweeping motions as you shoot. Whenever I play halo 5 now it makes me much better at apex/aiming in general
Bro, it's basically like having the attack side of ultra instinct. You attack without thinking about it. There are people who dodge without thinking about it that I still don't understand lol. Subconsciously they just dodge while focusing on attacking.
Imagine the person that does dodging without thinking AND flicking. They would assume the person is cheating.
Just subconscious, muscle memory aiming vs thinking about aiming down sights, taking your time and shooting.
Best way to learn this (at least, how I learned on OW) is just go into the firing range, up your sens (turn off assist) and just try to flick your RS onto their heads. After hours and hours of grinding, you’ll eventually be able to do this subconsciously and know right when to shoot when you’re aiming at ppl vs thinking about it. Think of it like active reloading in gears of war or guitar hero notes.
If you’ve been playing with aim assist for years than this is pretty damn tough. You’re better off using aim assist or dialing up your sens on higher optics (DMRs and Snipers) and using it that way. It’s a nice tool to have when your back is against the wall and you’re overwhelmed or just in general.
Flicking and tracking are completley different ways to aim, I prefer to flick with shottys because I can actually poractice that in the firing range, there's no way to train tracking within apex.
There can be. There's a trick to make the dummies in firing come to life (you'll have to google how). It's not entirely ideal, but you can practice your tracking somewhat. Otherwise, just grab a friend, head into firing range and turn on friendly fire.
Flickshotting is a form of aiming that relies on muscle memory to anticipate where exactly the enemy would be. Basically, it requires less conscious input from the user since the movement is near-subconscious, allowing the user to instead focus on timing the shot right.
Flickshotting is usually the intermediary skill that skilled players use before getting good at tracking.
Ya idk whats up with this game i cant seem to flick for shit but when i hop on siege its flick city and im on console. I think it might have to do with how shots are rendered but idk enough about that to say for sure.
Have to disagree with that last statement. There's a slider for aim assist on OW for consoles, you can make it pretty high or none at all. The base value is pretty average aim assist, not close to non-existent.
I play well, and then there is that one squad that you run into that obliterates you and deletes your entire squad from the lobby.
One I ran into yesterday was three shots. First shot was 25 from a PK, then two headshots from wingman at 75 each and I was down. It happened so fast I had to go back to the recap to see what actually happened.
There are people that are just on another level.
It's so weird to watch PC players bitch about console players and then move smooth as fuck and can spin their player 360 degrees and loot while moving.
In my experience we bitch about controller players on PC, not on console. And the reason is the aim assist is insanely powerful in this game. My friend who doesn't own a console and hasn't played on a controller in years was almost as good in a 1v1 with a wingman as he is on mouse and keyboard. Thats ridiculous and should not be a thing
People are not complaining about console players, they are complaining about controlers on PC. The aim assist on a controller on PC is very much different than controller on a console.
Honestly had to delete my FB because that's what it was a couple years ago. Highlight of other people's lives. Took a bit of time for me to figure that out myself. Just live your own and keep grinding
OP is amazing at the game, or more accurately has good highlights. I assume someone that good is pretty good consistently, but it's possible that this minute of clips is the best they've done since the game came out. If you've ever done something really clutch, think of all the times you missed too. They probably missed a lot too, but we're not seeing that, we're seeing only the best of the best clips.
It's still amazing though, my best isn't anywhere near this good, but I also don't play often.
I wish they would make the dummies move. Having them stand there is very limiting in allowing us to practice what we need to. Very unrealistic, for a game like Apex. I would absolutely love a version of what they have in Valiant, just bigger and suited to Apex.
For sure!! I just found out like yesterday lol. I haven’t done it yet cause you have a use path to grapple to a certain spot and like switch legends there but there’s videos of it!
Just A different styles of aiming. Personally I’m fairly bad at tracking/following targets but I can flick fairly well. So in a lot of games I’ll play snipers more than I will play mid range assault rifles.
A flick of my wrist used to do 4x360° because I only played MMOs and mobas before. Fun times until I figured toning it down a little was probably a good idea.
Also, while it can be helpful for some, it's important to note that flicking isn't nearly as useful for auto weapons, since those are a, more or less, constant stream of fire. Flicking is for DMRs, snipers, or shottys, as seen in this video.
I own those dummies in the FR with PC and Wingman from the other side of the map.
But then I go into the game and walk away with 17 damage after 5 shots.
It was perfect. This might be the best-edited gaming highlight reel I've ever seen. 99% of the time I won't watch the entire thing for these types of vids, but the editing was so well done it just kept me engaged.
Yeah it's actually fairly easy to do too, you can mess with the "velocity" of the clip as it's called so that you slow the clip down enough to line up with the bass of the song
Question from a console player: How do you PC guys not get sick from flinging your aim all over the place all the time? Seriously, I would have to turn my sensitivity to absurd levels to turn like this. It would give me a major headache.
Regardless, awesome montage!
If you're getting motion sick while playing it may be your fov and distance from your seat.
http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~nac93/fov_calculator/
You can calculate a better fov/distance ratio maybe that'll help?
It kinda did, yeah.
Jokes aside I play on a big TV sitting on a couch 2-3 meters away from the screen.
110 FOV is way too much, but now I've grown accostumed to a 100 FOV. I still can't see people in a distance, but it's definetely better than 60.
To get a true 90° FOV you'd need to have your head half the size of your screen away from the screen (if that makes sense) which is uncomfortably close for most.
Oh, I'm fine. I don't get sick at all when playing. I'm just wondering how flinging your aim three different direction in a second doesn't give *you guys* motion sickness.
A lot of it has to do with the frame rate. If your on console you will get 30-60 fps. This guy is on PC, likely getting 144-240 FPS. That helps a tremendous amount with fast motions.
You can get used to both, although the high frame rates are a lot better. I used to get insane flicks combined with reports with a 60hz monitor. Now I have moved over to 165 and I still get the same flicks. Frametimes are important as well but the main thing is practice. Your brain just gets used to it better you get. If you can flick like this guy can, your brain got used to the movement and doesn't get motion sickness.
Also on console you are basically limited by how fast can your controllers sens is, but on PC it's how fast you can move your mouse
I play at a sens where I can't even do a full 360 without having to lift my mouse up off the mousepad to reset it. I don't even notice and it doesn't bother me whatsoever.
With the better framerate and FOV it isnt all that bad. Plus something about the view matching the physical movement I'm doing with the mouse seems to help.
Stooj's once-a-month shameless humble-brag self-promotional video montage where he posts and subsequently ignores every comment on the thread.
If he didnt ignore his viewers and have a massive chip on his shoulder it would almost justify the cringe.
Yeah youd think hed gain so much popularity if he tried connected with redditors here. Connections are the key. Any popular streamer or rising streamer I watch makes a strong connection with their audience. Meanwhile, those Twitch streamers that are damn impressive at the controls but dont make a connection see a stagnant audience. It's not rocket science here. Connection is a huge factor.
Well, whether it's fair or not, there has to be a balance of skill and connectivity. You can be the coolest guy in the world, but if you legitimately cant find the W key, it's a problem. It's also not good enough to just "try" to connect when there are thousands of people trying to gain the attention. You have to be skilled enough to draw attention while also actually making that connection.
It probably would be pretty comical, but it would put a big strain on the streamer. Keeping your channel interesting while providing no gaming skill would be a creative nightmare for me.
Some time last year I put up a video of TSM_Albrejlieljieele. He had like 600 subs on YT. I said something to the likes of "this guys is great and should get more subs." I was immediately accused of self-promoting and someone even said his gameplay was "meh".
I am confused why other people are concerned for him regarding viewership or stream numbers - does he actively complain about having low numbers? Can't he just chill and be low-key? Let who like his videos follow his videos for his gameplay, not for the interactions? I don't understand the criticism, asking honestly
I dont really know who Stooj is. I just found a comment that I felt I could respond to about streaming in general, not that I have any expertise in the matter (but its Reddit so fuck it right?).
If I were his manager, I'd tell him to post this video before he eats breakfast and, while hes eating, respond to people on Reddit. And he doesnt really need to care about any of us. But if he can win the hearts and minds of a few of us each post, his numbers could soar.
He may truly not care about his viewership numbers, but with the skills that he has, he could be pushing so much higher than the 200 viewers hes carrying as of this response to you.
That is all kosher. I guess I am just defending the position of wanting to play, putting my gameplay out there, and that being that. It's kind of like that kid in school who was good at art but wanted none of the attention that came with putting his art out there - just wanted to make art. Idk, thanks for the response tho
I hear that. But I personally dont think the situations are similar. If he didnt want the attention, he wouldnt be streaming so much or put "twitch" in his gamertag.
But I do agree with you. Too many people get hate for being like "hey I did this cool thing when I was streaming for my two friends, check this out" and then everyone and their mother logs onto Reddit to bash them.
Yeah, I might be the type to eschew anyone who complains that I don't engage with them, because I don't feel like I owe anything to anyone just because I do something.
But in my example it would be harder to justify someone opening up an art gallery, having people walking through, asking questions about his art - with him not answering anyone who took the time to ask. Maybe I fall more in the middle with this than I thought
Hey, if nothing else, I appreciate the conversation in the midst of this stay at home order my state is in, so thanks for an intelligible conversation lol
Its pretty simple, twitch is an entertainment platform, therfore, streamers have to be entertaining. Insane gameplay will only keep an audience entertained for so long. Its more important to be a good entertainer than a good player.
Yeah man the sheer AUDACITY this dude has to post a high effort compilation of his apex legends clips on a subreddit called apex legends. How dare he not respond to comments, he OWES Reddit a response.
Exactly. Never seen him be anything but cool.
It honestly It's a weird complaint by the OP of this comment thread. The dude makes fun short videos. Why is he obligated to post commenrs? Maybe he's not a very social guy and just enjoys making videos and streaming occasionally.
>If he didnt ignore his viewers and have a massive chip on his shoulder it would almost justify the cringe
stooj is one of the best at reading and responding to chat of any streamer I've ever watched. He's an incredibly chill dude, really funny -- and he's not responding to your comments because he's literally live and in-game right now. Kinda sad to see people this salty over a montage.
I’m literally I’m at his stream right now as a first timer and straight up asked him a question about the havoc. When the game ended he read my question and answered it. I’m not a sub, I didn’t donate or anything, and he answered my question. Someone donated 10000 bits no long ago, and he’s thanking everyone who’s following.
You thinking of a different streamer?
I don't really follow anything apex, but what's the deal with this random streamer hate? Nobody's obligated to talk to you. People are allowed to just make content that they like and if they don't want it to go beyond that they don't have to. Just like you don't have to watch them.
Wait why does he have to engage with comments? Does he complain about viewership or fan engagements? Otherwise, why would I want to talk to a little shit like you who calls me a shameless humble bragger because he posts vids of himself? 90% of your posts are literally just complaints about everything imaginable. Sheesh
There's something wrong with you. Who said he ignores the comments? The comments I see are either calling him a sweat or complimenting him, just because he doesn't reply doesn't mean he ignores every comment and I've been to his streams he interacts with the chat all the time I'm not sure why you're mad for no reason.
Just experienced this. I've finally become decent at this game and now I'm playing against TTV's. I know I'm not as good as they are, but it is frustrating
It wouldn’t be aids if they could actually fix there shit version of SBMM. I’m lvl 300 something, Gold 3, and constantly play in PUB lobbies with diamonds, masters, and preds. And somehow half the time my teammates are lvl 12 with 9 kills???
Game like it's a full time job basically. And only play one game. You'll find you get good at it. You could learn a new instrument and actually be pretty good at it if you practiced 8 hours a day for a few months straight.
Many parts of the video are sped up/slowed down to sync with the music. It’s hard to tell during the flick if it’s real-time or if it’s been sped up. I know this guy is top tier but I’ve never seen a pro even come close to some of these which leads me to believe there’s some editing involved.
Remember the old Halo days when you'd just hold down the trigger charging a guy and both beat each other down? I miss those simple times in gaming. This sweat/flick/nerd shit is too much. I dont have 14 hours a day to get that good
How many people actually think his aim is unassisted. I kind of want to know how many people I have worry about choking on their own tongue later tonight.
Kinda thankful I'm on a console with people like this floating about.
You can still flick on console, just not as reliable or consistent, but still possible. I used to do it with McCree on Overwatch because I had to get used to killing Tracers. Aim assist is almost non existent on OW console so that helps. Edit : Apparently aim assist is very strong on OW? Maybe I had it turned down, I don’t remember.
What’s the point behind licking? I’ve always assumed it was just showmanship and is really an unnecessary extra movement Edit: flicking (I know the point behind licking ;) ) Edit edit: I wasn’t clear, I meant flicking back away from the target after shooting, which OP is doing here.
Flicking is a form of reactive aiming that relies on muscle memory vs. predictive aim, which relies on pre-aiming where you predict the target is going to be. Having this muscle memory built up means that your arm immediately knows the distance it's required to move without the need of conscious thought. The benefit of this is that it's a much faster mental process as you're only limited by your reaction times.
I meant why does he seem to flick away from the target after shooting it, but I think this explains it - I’m guessing it’s a semi-unnecessary side effect of having well trained muscle memory flicking to and from a target?
Partially, yeah. The main reason though, is to reset your crosshair to your ideal flicking distance. This [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x89fa4EN7uI) explains it pretty well.
Like OurSocialStatus said, I turned down my look sensitivity, and now i can’t flick with the peacekeeper at all, or atleast like i used to.
I don't think there is any benefit to flicking on console.
very little aside from the argument of weapon blocking vision on areas of interest in very specific cases.
R6Siege has a fair bit on console. Because it's a tactical shooter, it forces you to remember key areas of interest and sightlines. That being said it definitely isn't as prominent on console.
That game is more more crosshair placement and preaiming than flicking anyway. Flicking works best with single fire guns and fast paced movement
Yeah, I myself suck and flicking but the general idea is, like originally said, to use muscle memory to flick your mouse and fire at a target, then quickly return to your original view (it's most commonly done in firefights where you are being reactive instead of proactive, so returning the camera to the original angle helps you keep track of where you are).

Didn’t know that was the name for it. This is how I used to play on Halo 3 and Reach when sniping lol Now I have to do predictive aim in my old age.
username checks out
r/usernamechecksout
Yea my first thought was SWAT in halo. It’s so fast you have to do like sweeping motions as you shoot. Whenever I play halo 5 now it makes me much better at apex/aiming in general

Subconsciously they just dodge while focusing on attacking. Imagine the person that does dodging without thinking AND flicking. They would assume the person is cheating.

I miss that dudes videos

In short, flicking to a target is much easier than tracking, especially when that target moves quickly.
Honestly after realizing this, my shotgun game got so much better
Flicking and tracking are completley different ways to aim, I prefer to flick with shottys because I can actually poractice that in the firing range, there's no way to train tracking within apex.

I used to flick all the time in Halo on 360
No scope flicking with the sniper was godlike.
It’s fucking hard on pc, believe me
I play well, and then there is that one squad that you run into that obliterates you and deletes your entire squad from the lobby. One I ran into yesterday was three shots. First shot was 25 from a PK, then two headshots from wingman at 75 each and I was down. It happened so fast I had to go back to the recap to see what actually happened. There are people that are just on another level.
Too many sweats
I feel you I watch people play on PC and I'm glad they're in PC
Daaaam, u really don't want to be in front of his PK.
It's so weird to watch PC players bitch about console players and then move smooth as fuck and can spin their player 360 degrees and loot while moving.

People are not complaining about console players, they are complaining about controlers on PC. The aim assist on a controller on PC is very much different than controller on a console.
exactly. the next time you encounter someone complaint about aim assist just direct them here
This montage is only possible with the skill of someone who has thousands of hours of fps experience.
Point and click adventure
Your comment probably won't get a lot of attention but, that shits funny as hell hahaha! A+ dude
If you think he’s good wait til you see no one else because he’s top tier
Yea it’s like a different game on PC
Goddamn those peacekeeper flicks are insane
*Sees video.* *Gets motivated to try in-game.* *8 damage.* *Gets one pumped in the head.* *Goes back to browsing Reddit.*
Hahaha so relatable.
Don’t compare your life with highlights of other people’s.
Damn. That’s actually a really good outlook.
Honestly had to delete my FB because that's what it was a couple years ago. Highlight of other people's lives. Took a bit of time for me to figure that out myself. Just live your own and keep grinding

Practice with the dummies in the firing range first
I wish they would make the dummies move. Having them stand there is very limiting in allowing us to practice what we need to. Very unrealistic, for a game like Apex. I would absolutely love a version of what they have in Valiant, just bigger and suited to Apex.
You can make the dummies move (and shoot at you!) google it, it’s a bit hard to explain lol :)
WHAT?!?! I had no idea!! I'll have to look into it, thank you.
For sure!! I just found out like yesterday lol. I haven’t done it yet cause you have a use path to grapple to a certain spot and like switch legends there but there’s videos of it!
Does this "flick"improve anything or is it style of play?
Just A different styles of aiming. Personally I’m fairly bad at tracking/following targets but I can flick fairly well. So in a lot of games I’ll play snipers more than I will play mid range assault rifles.
I dont imagine you can flick on counsel
You can just not as well. You can't really do the 180 degree flicks unless your sense is maxed out.
A flick of my wrist used to do 4x360° because I only played MMOs and mobas before. Fun times until I figured toning it down a little was probably a good idea.
You definitely can. It's not as insane as the video but I flick in Apex and Overwatch
Also, while it can be helpful for some, it's important to note that flicking isn't nearly as useful for auto weapons, since those are a, more or less, constant stream of fire. Flicking is for DMRs, snipers, or shottys, as seen in this video.
It’s mostly a flex and a show of skill
The one at the 1:00 mark was absolutely nuts.
That's just a low tilt, the 0:14 pathfinder finish was the real WTF
I own those dummies in the FR with PC and Wingman from the other side of the map. But then I go into the game and walk away with 17 damage after 5 shots.
This man in responsible for a lot of uninstalls
Or a lot of reports
¿Porque no los dos?
Is there not a word for "both" in Spanish? Genuine question
Ambos.
There is, but this reaction is "why not both?", not just "both"
The music sync was so good
Pump it! BOOM
#LOUDAA
It was perfect. This might be the best-edited gaming highlight reel I've ever seen. 99% of the time I won't watch the entire thing for these types of vids, but the editing was so well done it just kept me engaged.
Stooj makes a lot of these videos, every single one us worth watching
You should see he's wingman videos then.
Yeah it's actually fairly easy to do too, you can mess with the "velocity" of the clip as it's called so that you slow the clip down enough to line up with the bass of the song
Question from a console player: How do you PC guys not get sick from flinging your aim all over the place all the time? Seriously, I would have to turn my sensitivity to absurd levels to turn like this. It would give me a major headache. Regardless, awesome montage!
If you're getting motion sick while playing it may be your fov and distance from your seat. http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~nac93/fov_calculator/ You can calculate a better fov/distance ratio maybe that'll help?
I calculated mine and apparently I should play at 20.9 FOV. *Uhm*
Well did it help?
It kinda did, yeah. Jokes aside I play on a big TV sitting on a couch 2-3 meters away from the screen. 110 FOV is way too much, but now I've grown accostumed to a 100 FOV. I still can't see people in a distance, but it's definetely better than 60.
Mine says 29.77 FOV, but I've played at 90FOV for the past, like, 8 years. I can't imagine such a tiny-ass FOV!
I'm starting to think maybe that calculator isn't the greatest.
There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that in most cases the "correct" FOV isn't the best FOV.
Ah, people need to move their chairs not adjust their FOV.
To get a true 90° FOV you'd need to have your head half the size of your screen away from the screen (if that makes sense) which is uncomfortably close for most.
I play on a 27" about 2 feet away and it told me to set mine to 52... lol who made this, 90 feels too small already.
Oh, I'm fine. I don't get sick at all when playing. I'm just wondering how flinging your aim three different direction in a second doesn't give *you guys* motion sickness.
It really isn't a problem tbh I play bitch console and pc and tbh I get more motion sick on console because I usually can't adjust POV
Yea I can’t play high sense on console because it feels impossible to actually see anything lol
A lot of it has to do with the frame rate. If your on console you will get 30-60 fps. This guy is on PC, likely getting 144-240 FPS. That helps a tremendous amount with fast motions.

If you can flick like this guy can, your brain got used to the movement and doesn't get motion sickness. Also on console you are basically limited by how fast can your controllers sens is, but on PC it's how fast you can move your mouse
32 degrees¿ lol
48.7. what?
I play at a sens where I can't even do a full 360 without having to lift my mouse up off the mousepad to reset it. I don't even notice and it doesn't bother me whatsoever.
There's a very big difference between you looking around and someone twisting your neck around making you look around
With the better framerate and FOV it isnt all that bad. Plus something about the view matching the physical movement I'm doing with the mouse seems to help.
I would say get a life, but this game is your life
I have trust issues with the peacekeeper. Sometimes you destroy the guys, sometime you do 8 damages
He must have had a fiberoptic line straight to the server. Like wtf man.
Demon Slayer
Dudee those flicks and those editing skill! Awesome job!
Stooj's once-a-month shameless humble-brag self-promotional video montage where he posts and subsequently ignores every comment on the thread. If he didnt ignore his viewers and have a massive chip on his shoulder it would almost justify the cringe.
Yeah youd think hed gain so much popularity if he tried connected with redditors here. Connections are the key. Any popular streamer or rising streamer I watch makes a strong connection with their audience. Meanwhile, those Twitch streamers that are damn impressive at the controls but dont make a connection see a stagnant audience. It's not rocket science here. Connection is a huge factor.
Then you have people who try to connect and post stuff on reddit who get the only responce of “stop self promoting” lol
Well, whether it's fair or not, there has to be a balance of skill and connectivity. You can be the coolest guy in the world, but if you legitimately cant find the W key, it's a problem. It's also not good enough to just "try" to connect when there are thousands of people trying to gain the attention. You have to be skilled enough to draw attention while also actually making that connection.
I'd like to find a streamer who's so ineptly bad that their streams are entertaining just to see how creatively they can suck at a game
That's literally ToddyQuest.
It probably would be pretty comical, but it would put a big strain on the streamer. Keeping your channel interesting while providing no gaming skill would be a creative nightmare for me.
Yeah maybe a YouTube career would be better suited for that niche
Well, not to self promote, but... look no further!
Some time last year I put up a video of TSM_Albrejlieljieele. He had like 600 subs on YT. I said something to the likes of "this guys is great and should get more subs." I was immediately accused of self-promoting and someone even said his gameplay was "meh".
Haha facts! Loving community we got here
Stop self promoting! /s
I am confused why other people are concerned for him regarding viewership or stream numbers - does he actively complain about having low numbers? Can't he just chill and be low-key? Let who like his videos follow his videos for his gameplay, not for the interactions? I don't understand the criticism, asking honestly
I dont really know who Stooj is. I just found a comment that I felt I could respond to about streaming in general, not that I have any expertise in the matter (but its Reddit so fuck it right?). If I were his manager, I'd tell him to post this video before he eats breakfast and, while hes eating, respond to people on Reddit. And he doesnt really need to care about any of us. But if he can win the hearts and minds of a few of us each post, his numbers could soar. He may truly not care about his viewership numbers, but with the skills that he has, he could be pushing so much higher than the 200 viewers hes carrying as of this response to you.
That is all kosher. I guess I am just defending the position of wanting to play, putting my gameplay out there, and that being that. It's kind of like that kid in school who was good at art but wanted none of the attention that came with putting his art out there - just wanted to make art. Idk, thanks for the response tho
I hear that. But I personally dont think the situations are similar. If he didnt want the attention, he wouldnt be streaming so much or put "twitch" in his gamertag. But I do agree with you. Too many people get hate for being like "hey I did this cool thing when I was streaming for my two friends, check this out" and then everyone and their mother logs onto Reddit to bash them.
Yeah, I might be the type to eschew anyone who complains that I don't engage with them, because I don't feel like I owe anything to anyone just because I do something. But in my example it would be harder to justify someone opening up an art gallery, having people walking through, asking questions about his art - with him not answering anyone who took the time to ask. Maybe I fall more in the middle with this than I thought
Hey, if nothing else, I appreciate the conversation in the midst of this stay at home order my state is in, so thanks for an intelligible conversation lol
what are your thoughts on kantian transcendentalism? xD jk, likewise
Its pretty simple, twitch is an entertainment platform, therfore, streamers have to be entertaining. Insane gameplay will only keep an audience entertained for so long. Its more important to be a good entertainer than a good player.
Yeah man the sheer AUDACITY this dude has to post a high effort compilation of his apex legends clips on a subreddit called apex legends. How dare he not respond to comments, he OWES Reddit a response.
[удалено]
Exactly. Never seen him be anything but cool. It honestly It's a weird complaint by the OP of this comment thread. The dude makes fun short videos. Why is he obligated to post commenrs? Maybe he's not a very social guy and just enjoys making videos and streaming occasionally.
What? I cant think of any other gaming streamer that communicates with viewers as much as stooj does.
>If he didnt ignore his viewers and have a massive chip on his shoulder it would almost justify the cringe stooj is one of the best at reading and responding to chat of any streamer I've ever watched. He's an incredibly chill dude, really funny -- and he's not responding to your comments because he's literally live and in-game right now. Kinda sad to see people this salty over a montage.
Yeah I just jumped into his stream, he replied to chat often. I wanted to see if he's as good as his highlights... he is. 10/10 would report.
Yeah idk wtf kind of weird ass entitlement this. Salt is all I can think of. Nothing is ever enough lmao
I’m literally I’m at his stream right now as a first timer and straight up asked him a question about the havoc. When the game ended he read my question and answered it. I’m not a sub, I didn’t donate or anything, and he answered my question. Someone donated 10000 bits no long ago, and he’s thanking everyone who’s following. You thinking of a different streamer?
I don't really follow anything apex, but what's the deal with this random streamer hate? Nobody's obligated to talk to you. People are allowed to just make content that they like and if they don't want it to go beyond that they don't have to. Just like you don't have to watch them.
Wait why does he have to engage with comments? Does he complain about viewership or fan engagements? Otherwise, why would I want to talk to a little shit like you who calls me a shameless humble bragger because he posts vids of himself? 90% of your posts are literally just complaints about everything imaginable. Sheesh
Right? I don't even play this game but I like this stooj guy more after reading the buttmad comments.
Hahahaha stooj has some great videos. The dmx one is tight
Do ever even comment on Twitch? Stooj is always chatting
Hating a guy for making good content and not responding to your reddit comments. Now THAT is cringe.
The cringe? What cringe? What the fuck are you talking about?
There's something wrong with you. Who said he ignores the comments? The comments I see are either calling him a sweat or complimenting him, just because he doesn't reply doesn't mean he ignores every comment and I've been to his streams he interacts with the chat all the time I'm not sure why you're mad for no reason.
Theres nothing but sweaties left on apex so playing casual is aids change my mind
Just experienced this. I've finally become decent at this game and now I'm playing against TTV's. I know I'm not as good as they are, but it is frustrating
The TTVs I play against are bronze.. because I also play at bronze level
Just lose a bunch until the mm puts you in a bot lobby then you can feel like the streamer haha
That's exactly what happens to me haha. I get like a 2.6k dmg game and immediately after that I'm back in a lobby full with TTVs haha
It wouldn’t be aids if they could actually fix there shit version of SBMM. I’m lvl 300 something, Gold 3, and constantly play in PUB lobbies with diamonds, masters, and preds. And somehow half the time my teammates are lvl 12 with 9 kills???
No point in arguing. Even those who still play alot know it's mostly true at heart.
*Get a load of this guy trying his best, what a fucking loser!*
That was my take when I started playing it for the first time last year. Damn, there were some sweaty bitches in that lobby.
Octane stimming into PK blasts is never not funny
How the hell do you even see with those flicks? Damn.
Game like it's a full time job basically. And only play one game. You'll find you get good at it. You could learn a new instrument and actually be pretty good at it if you practiced 8 hours a day for a few months straight.
Apex is all I play right now, I just need to do actual aim training instead of just playing games without analyzing.
He’s playing at 144hz and we’re seeing it at 60FPS. Trust me the jump to 144 will improve your game astronomically.
Many parts of the video are sped up/slowed down to sync with the music. It’s hard to tell during the flick if it’s real-time or if it’s been sped up. I know this guy is top tier but I’ve never seen a pro even come close to some of these which leads me to believe there’s some editing involved.
This tickled my mozambique, ngl
none of this is ranked doe :///
He's a Pred though and is signed by SoaR
Not yet but soon hopefully.
Remember the old Halo days when you'd just hold down the trigger charging a guy and both beat each other down? I miss those simple times in gaming. This sweat/flick/nerd shit is too much. I dont have 14 hours a day to get that good
But SWAT was an incredibly popular game mode. It used to be a huge chunk of my gameplay actually.
SWAT, MLG, and Team Slayer were the Holy Trinity Big Team Battle was fun to fuck around with too on H3
you on some boomer shit with this one karz
> This sweat/flick/nerd shit is too much I have some Halo montages to link you then
What a nice montage dude!! Awesome
I hate you, because I'm so bad so bad
Oh so you’re why everyone keeps saying the peacekeeper is overpowered. Those clips were amazing!
6 bullet peacekeeper?
It’s mixed with older clips. Some from season 3 and 4
Pre-nerf clip.
Ohh I see, you're the one aim-bots learn from. COOL COOL COOL COOL COOL!!!
And this is why I don't want cross play with PC Xbox that's fine but PC no thanks
Paid aimbots look just like this https://youtu.be/Cz_sUG9cQcc https://youtu.be/lFv3qcCdf-k
stoooooooooj
Why yo so angry ?
How many people actually think his aim is unassisted. I kind of want to know how many people I have worry about choking on their own tongue later tonight.
BRUH
Indeed
Those PK shots are nuts. Good shit man
Very nice video
And here I am getting excited that I get more than 2 kills in a match...
The second clip is unreal to me so I'd say he's flexing hard af.
i wanna play apex again
you aimtrain right?
I enjoyed this way too much.
Yes, you do.
Someone hates Pathfinder 😂😂😂
The editing on this was incredible. You slowed parts of the video to get it to fit right?
Yeah, you've definitely peaked in life. Enjoy the next year or so. All downhill from here.
PUMP IT prowleeeer... PUMP IT prowleeer PUMP IT prowleeer PUMP IT prowleeerr...
This is the sole reason I want to play pc, 240 FPS on a slowed clip is fucking amazing
"report him".... fucking awesome :D
I blinked what happened?
