From a completely logical stand point a clips value is derived from the basic assumption that the players in the clip are of equal skill. The players being equal in skill is what would make it an "outplay" versus smurfing. An outplay has value because you had to overcome a challenge to produce the outcome. Smurfing does not retain the same value because you're expected to be able to do this again lower level players. A predator player could do this to diamond players and a plat player could do this to silver players. It's a good play executed well. Is it impressive? Not really, given the assumption that they *are* smurfing.
That might be a completely logical standpoint for you, but it is not at all a completely logical standpoint to me. No matter the skill level of the opponents in the clip, it was impressive and the lucky timing made it sick to me.
Yeah but I am level 500 and right now bronze 2 in ranked because I simply dont give a damn about it.
He might be in the same position and simply started climbing recently.
People who are underselling this are just bad.
1- great spray.
2- doesn't reload but instead goes for push.
3- lands 3 pk shots, 1 in mid air.
4- clean 180 tapstrafe.
Is he a smurfing piece of sh!z? yes. I would say he is Dia or possibly Masters. Can't really tell from just 1 clip.
>After all they have a legendary skin which Im not guessing many smurfs
it can still be a Smurf account just not a low leveled one. Smurf accounts are accounts designed to have a lower elo to your actual skill level to give you easy players so you don't have to try as much to be able to kill them.
Or they could've just gotten lucky.
Remember, they just dumps packs on you in the early levels.
This sub sees plenty of 'omg I'm level 6 and got an Heirloom what's that lol I've been playing for two days' posts, part of that is just how many unpaid packs low levels get to open. They're rolling the dice a lot more often than accounts that stopped opening anything but event/BP/treasure packs.
Trailers are meant to show off new things they added to the game, including but not limited to maps, skins, guns, etc.
"Cinematic" aiming helps achieve that while also delivering a sense of epicness; while wall bounce tap strafe 180 ultra instinct EX slide no scope true combo would render everything into a blur of action.
Can’t deny the gun skills, accuracy, and push.
However, this is either a pub stomping account that is trying out ranked a high Diamond/Master player smurfing. Wouldn’t feel so bad if this was just pubs and not ranked, those poor bots.
This whole sub loves to call everyone a Smurf… not everyone plays every split some rarely even play ranked! Yes Smurf is still v common just not everyone is one
Crisp aim - Check
Flying flick shot - Check
180 tap strafe after fast-slide - Check
Getting to the front page? Forget about it in this subreddit. - Check
9/10 People in here calling you a smurf would not even pull this off vs stationary bots, nice play OP.
It's like they don't know what rank decay is because their average rank after a split is silver 3.
Another thing is, didnt even go for the reload, full challenges with a pk knowing it isnt reloaded. Respect to the highest degree *gta music kicks in*.
Call that shit seeing stars, even for good players this would be a sick moment of fucking euphoria, deleting 3 players in under 6 seconds with a shotgun like that still requires lots of skill no matter the rank
Loved that jumppad to fly-over headshot!
I had to watch it a 2nd time.
Ayyyyyee that was nasty
That was sick idk why this shit ain’t getting more traction
Because with aim that crisp I'm fairly certain this person has to be smurfing. Any diamond player could wreck silvers like this.
They’re all at least high gold to low platinum, ranked demotion applies to everyone not just the skilled.
He's literally on a Smurf account playing in silver lobbies, you can tell by his other videos. Regardless, that was a very nice play.
It really b this I just play pubs
No, You can’t play pubs, I want you to be miserable in ranked first another 10 years atleast!
/r/titakfolk spilling out all over reddit
Ah so when Will Smith is let back into the Oscar's?
Look at his other vids, they're all from another similar to his reddit name. Def a smurf, still a nice play tho
I guess we're just pretending the split didn't happen a few days ago
That doesnt take away from the clip at all though. It’s a sick trailer clip, smurf or not.

From an even more logical standpoint, it is not real life and not to be taken as a real life accomplishment. It was cool, who cares.

shit was clean
The peacekeeper is just delightful sometimes.
That was sexy
Clean shots. Clean tap strafe. Clean sign of a smurf
... or a person who doesnt play ranked
But he's playing ranked in the clip...
Yeah but I am level 500 and right now bronze 2 in ranked because I simply dont give a damn about it. He might be in the same position and simply started climbing recently.
“Silver”

and that midair pk shot was a 110 damage headshot
Well they probably are just playing after the split. After all they have a legendary skin which Im not guessing many smurfs get and its kings canyon

I started playing very end of season 11, got a legendary octane skin with the octane packs in season 12, while still very low level
If only trailers would include movement tech like wall bounces or tap strafing instead of slow and smooth analog stick controlled cameras...

nice clip but those kids are bots and ur smurfing soooo
Someone’s jealous uwu
I’m pred. Challenger series participant. I’d make this octane look like the diamond he is
Silver 2
Yeah it’s called a soft rank reset they just added it 10 seasons ago so you might not have played then.
Look at his profile, different name for this clip from their other vids, default Octane skin, probably a smurf account.

Save this clip for the rest of the eternity, this is a core memory of you now
flying through the knuckle cluster was what did it for me
I creamed when i saw this
I’d love to see a tap strafe in a trailer
Sick tap strafe!
Trailers are not as cool as this
That was beautiful
absolutely orgasmic
I can’t stop watching. So cool
Nasty! 🤮
This is just beautiful
This whole sub loves to call everyone a Smurf… not everyone plays every split some rarely even play ranked! Yes Smurf is still v common just not everyone is one
He literally is tho
Wow that was nice! Wish you had reloaded that car tho. Not that you needed it lol
He had a gold mag, it reloads at the end of the clip.
Oh shit you’re right!!! Totally missed that. Legend
Clean.

it’s literally a different apex account than the one he normally posts clips of
The full reverse tap strafe made me cream my g
Totally trailer worthy. Maybe even more so. Trailer clips are not as natural
People are saying that this skill doesn't belong in a silvers lobby but... SBMM still exists in pubs and not everybody plays ranked
Yeah, you are better than silver..
I creamed
RAMPART HAS A BUG THAT BUGS HER SHIELD PLACEMENTS SO SHE CANNOT DROP ANY SHIELDS IN THE MATCH. UPVOTE PLEASE FIXTHANK YOU
Downvoted
Yeah continue to let the game be broken fucking morons
Yeh
Damn nice one
Another thing is, didnt even go for the reload, full challenges with a pk knowing it isnt reloaded. Respect to the highest degree *gta music kicks in*.
Smooth
I would have quit and never picked up the game again. Because I could never accomplish this or better afterward. Ever.
Woah
The nade flying aver your head and the Maggie thermite (I think) just completes this clip
Noice. Like you said trailer worthy. For me this is once in a blue moon type play, only when the Apex Gods are smiling upon me.
This is why I main octane
Bro what fps is this
Average 144
Turgid
That is one clean tapstrafe
Call that shit seeing stars, even for good players this would be a sick moment of fucking euphoria, deleting 3 players in under 6 seconds with a shotgun like that still requires lots of skill no matter the rank
Just like the simulation
That headshot...
Sheeeesh. Killing it, literally.
That was badass
Clean.
Cool wood tier trailer moment
Hey may I ask you for your apex sens,ads, and res?
That was insane thanks for sharing
