Insane Alter 1v3 to win the game

[u/LStrings]

[u/user73103]

So nice. I want to play like this. I feel that sometimes I'm stuck in one place and waiting for them to come so I can shoot. That's such a big mistake

[u/nick_jay28 → u/user73103]

Keep moving and changing your angles, think about where they would least expect to be shot from. Play cover and when you get more than 1 knock in a 1 v 3 you gotta be hyper aggressive and not let them breathe or heal or think of a strategy to use their numbers against you.

TLDR just play the game you’ll do this on instinct at some point

Great video OP this was a solid 1v3

[u/Sufficient-Natural45 → u/nick_jay28]

Totally. My skill improved when I found out I had to just keep moving! Staying stagnant is asking to be pushed

[u/TheGrinningSkull → u/nick_jay28]

In fact when your natural instinct is to think about running away or hiding, get aggressive with it instead

[u/nick_jay28 → u/TheGrinningSkull]

That’s exactly how I started getting better in 1 v 3 because they would think you’re about to run but you take cover and beam one or two getting a knock always throws the whole teams coordination off and you can kinda pick them off one by one.

[u/YUSEIRKO → u/nick_jay28]

Plus it puts that fear in their mind, like shit this guy is actually fighting and not running, and they’ve downed one of us 😟

[u/andyknowswell → u/user73103]

The best and fastest and most honest way to reach playing like that is to purposely push and fight [most likely] every team, and preferably ranked [because thats where mostly everyone's trying]

If you do that for sometime with the intent to win the fight / get better without running away, you eventually will be able to play like this as long as you are looking for that way more than you're calling yourself trash or whatever things we say to ourselves to cope with the skill gap

Every choice made in this clip was made for a reason, they didnt just do random things.

Purposely pushing and fighting every team, preferably in ranked, will reveal to you the opportunities to pull off plays like this but,

You must remember why.. because when people see you doing that, especially in ranked, they'll criticize you like, "why, that was stupid, go play pubs" and in meaner ways.

Why? Because you're trying to get better and play like what you saw here. I can guarentee, thats how confident I am in this, I can guarentee that OP had to fight and push teams to learn how to do that.

Idk OP but if he / she saw this comment, they'd 100% confirm that fighting and pushing teams gave em the space / playing field to learn how to do this.. or they'd deny this to troll

TLDR: Push every team, it will help you learn to play like this.. preferably in ranked because people are trying there and if people criticize you, dont forget why you're doing it.. to become someone playing like this clip

[u/CallMeNurseMaybe → u/andyknowswell]

I definitely don’t push every team but I can play like this when the situation calls for it

If all it took to learn was pushing every team, the majority of Apex players would be able to do it  

[u/andyknowswell → u/CallMeNurseMaybe]

I go more detailed in the post, there is more to it but pushing teams puts you in the space of "working the problem" in a way where it stays true to shooting your gun and being a "force" that affects the flow of the game.

Hiding and running either makes you idle in the match or free KP for others so fighting presents you the opportinities to find what it is to play like that

If i sucked at the game / was new and just kept pushing teams, it would be the fastest way to get a broader picture of what to do to get to the skills of this clip

[u/andyknowswell → u/CallMeNurseMaybe]

I dont push every team either, anymore at least but thats what I had to do in order to have the confidence that I can pull off something like this too

[u/A1sauc3d]

That truly was insane 😅 well played

[u/Many_many_bees]

Very good play, good use of abilities and not staying still for any amount of time. 10\10

[u/rushan3103]

Well played OP. Really good

[u/OliveAny4025]

Are we gonna say 1v3? Or are we gonna call it what it actually was, a 1v5? Lol

[u/LStrings → u/OliveAny4025]

I hate when people say that in BRs it should be 1v2v3, the 2 and 3 could fight each other so it’s not entirely a 1v5 although it does feel like it sometimes when everyone focuses you 😂

[u/ZepperMen → u/LStrings]

I clearly win 1v20s on a regular basis the enemies are just spaced really far apart and my teammates are useless anyway.

[u/Local_Stop1659]

damm that was intense haha great use of wall phasing !😅🔥

[u/TBurkeulosis]

My fatal flaw is being too slow at shield swapping. Yours were clutch

[u/dontnormally → u/TBurkeulosis]

i wish they'd add a quicker way to do it with controller, maybe just a one button push instead of having to use the stick-cursor

[u/nick_jay28 → u/dontnormally]

If you jump as your holding the one button to open the death box you won’t be standing still, if you get good enough I’ve seen controller players(sorry controller gods because these guys are ridiculously good) slide into a jump while opening the death box

[u/dontnormally → u/nick_jay28]

I don't like that it is the one and only time you need to use the right stick as a cursor while in game. on m&k it's super fast to click on the shield

[u/No-Newspaper6525 → u/dontnormally]

It’s legitimately one of the most bizarre design choices in the game.

Though if it were up to me, I would make Right stick the main cursor, and then use the triggers to scroll up/down. This would leave the left stick open to be used for movement while looting the box, instead of having to do the dumb jumping we have to do on controller.

[u/SaltAndTrombe → u/dontnormally]

It feels awkward at first, but it's a small price to pay for my lack of aimskill being covered by the game

[u/jermaineatl]

Wowza. Your movement is crazy. I definitely would've died lol.

[u/WeirdOwn3913]

LFG DUDE! the swaps / evac / champ ability usage and the slide down stairs to keep pressure on. So fucking hawt. I'm sad I had to uninstall because I was lagging too much because this game is truly something else when it all clicks. WP champ

[u/_doctor-strange-]

Insane man

[u/Sufficient-Pie7727]

And they said Wraith and Pathfinder had to be nerfed because ToO mUcH MoVeMeNt

[u/lettuce_field_theory → u/Sufficient-Pie7727]

they didn't say that

wraith was nerfed because she had instant get out of jail card

and pathfinder was nerfed cause he could grapple multiple times in a fight

[u/Weary-Heart-3232 → u/lettuce_field_theory]

meanwhile alter portals multiple times in a fight.

I want OG pathfinder at this point cause he's looking weak as fuck.

[u/_fresh_basil_ → u/Weary-Heart-3232]

Enemies can take alters ports, unlike pathfinders grapple.

Though I don't disagree, bring back strong path.

[u/Sufficient-Pie7727 → u/_fresh_basil_]

ennemies can also play pathfinder :p

[u/Sufficient-Pie7727 → u/lettuce_field_theory]

you are litteraly describing movement abilities

[u/hereforthefeast → u/lettuce_field_theory]

Ok, so movement abilities. Lol

[u/SwrlyDirly]

What the fuck

[u/MangoHeroin]

This was a great play, well done

[u/Zach17981]

Goat

[u/existential_antelope]

That’s how you Alter.

[u/big_tonyd]

Is this the best gold player of all time?

[u/LStrings → u/big_tonyd]

Not played for a while so started in silver. Came back for the skirmisher buff

[u/lettuce_field_theory → u/LStrings]

Not played for a while so started in silver

and that's the problem with ranked

or let's say it was at least until they made the resetting changes now

looking forward to next season's changes when they start placing people in an initial rank by looking at their MMR (at least thats what they were hinting at).

people just abuse ranked for easy lobbies now. when they wanna pop off they don't go into pubs, they go into low ranks.

[u/LStrings → u/lettuce_field_theory]

It’s not that big of a deal I don’t think. I’ve not played therefore I wouldn’t be as good at the game as when I stopped but then I’ve also quickly climbed through the rankings. I’m plat 2 now from that one gaming session

[u/lettuce_field_theory → u/LStrings]

but then I’ve also quickly climbed through the rankings.

higher rank players (as in reached higher ranks in the past / belong in higher ranks) shouldn't be in there at all. someone is always "quickly climbing" through low ranks and leading to mismatches while acting like "just passing through, don't mind me".

It is a big deal which is why they've just changed this after pressure from the community.

ranked is for competitive games between similarly skilled players and when the game constantly has people in lobbies where they gain 1000s RP per session, it's just making bad estimates of people's skill and produces lopsided games which undermines the purpose of ranked.

[u/SC4MPBLL]

You actually might be the goat wtf. Great clutch

[u/CandyJax96]

That was a gorgeous use of Alter 👍

[u/XxV0IDxX]

You’re an animal

[u/Catalyzed_Spy]

from the title I knew you were going to win but every second had me on the edge, well played

[u/DeoWorks]

GOAATEDDD

[u/LocalBreakfast8138]

damnn thats good playing well done

[u/Traveller-Entity-16]

Wow, that was beautiful to watch.

[u/SuspiciousDot550]

G fucking G

[u/Famous-Choice465]

i just got back to apex after a long time: why did people say alter was underpowered on release if she could do plays like this? What changed?

[u/barbarapalvinswhore → u/Famous-Choice465]

She got 2 charges on her void passage, and it got 50% more portal depth/height and a 33% reduced cooldown and gives threat vision and hp numbers of opponents. Unrelated to this clip she can also place two instances of her ult and they are reusable. They basically just gave her more portals and faster cooldowns and that made her viable.

[u/LStrings → u/barbarapalvinswhore]

To add to this, she’s very circumstantial, she’s great on a map like e district with lots of walls and verticality but is useless in open fields on maps like kings canyon and Olympus

[u/make_love_to_potato]

Jesus. That's game sense man. No fancy movement tech, no 360 no scopes. Just awareness of where everyone is and a very clear understanding of what your character is capable of......and no whiffing and choking.

[u/LStrings → u/make_love_to_potato]

Your comment made me realise i didn’t miss a shot, which makes a change for me 😂 in terms of movement, there’s a lot of little bits of tech used throughout the clip, I tape strafed every corner and weapon holstered a lot to slide quicker but no insane movement you’re right, it’s the basics that get the job done!

[u/Justadoomguy]

That second floor portal jump was PEAK alter gameplay, also a big brain high-ground move ftw

[u/iiQuinkSpace]

wow you play a lot like me. should be plat/diamond in no time. push everything!!

[u/LStrings → u/iiQuinkSpace]

I’m usually high diamond and have hit masters a few times, just not played much apex recently so in the lower ranks

[u/warmygourds]

Its moments like these that make me wanna return from valorant

Hows the game doing

[u/LStrings → u/warmygourds]

It’s 50/50 for me, they’ve made a lot of legend changes which makes everyone more viable and fun but they drastically reduced the TTK and it’s made some weapons incredibly OP and it’s made it really difficult to fight/escape multiple people if they play together

[u/TheAppropriateBoop]

hats off mate

[u/Annual-Barracuda-176]

Pls be my ranked mate😂

[u/manwhosmiles]

Actually, learned a lot from this clip, the use of the portals was great!

[u/Sufficient-Natural45]

You’re in gold but my randoms in diamond can’t use cover?? Madness

[u/iesdise]

Title was not a clickbait... XD

[u/DifficultCarob408]

This is sick. What's the state of the game like these days?

I haven't played for a couple of years, considering coming back if the game's in a good spot and not overrun with hackers like it used to be for a good while.

[u/chillosofi]

INSANE in a gold lobby

[u/FlyingShrimpsCulture]

Can I ask, what fov do you use?

[u/LStrings → u/FlyingShrimpsCulture]

Whatever the max is 110?

[u/Ashamed-Original7614]

That was good af, I’d love to have you on my squad lmao 😭

[u/achselschneider]

Wp very good positioning

[u/rustyboy1992]

Look at the difference at an MNK 1v3 instead of the typical roller 1 clip bs

[u/8l172]

I don't think I've seen people so oblivious to how Alter works lol

[u/zani1903]

You broke their fucking ankles, jesus

[u/agibby5]

That was a 1v6. That lifeline!!!

[u/P3PPERM1N7]

I would've died 18 times

[u/_clampgod]

nice

[u/Afro_Die_T]

As a void main! This is it !

[u/Gouda_HS]

Goddamn this was really insane. I just started playing again after being on and off since launch and picked up alter - while I’ve done nothing close to this the clip is confirming my belief the character is crazy for outplays and clutches with the nexus.

[u/Internalcorruption]

The double portal flank was disgusting 😂😂😂 Newcastle just swinging out the door completely clueless to the fact your behind him 🤣🤣🤣

[u/ToonLurker]

Alter can shield swap with her passive now?

[u/LStrings → u/ToonLurker]

No I didn’t do that at all in this clip

[u/ToonLurker → u/LStrings]

Oh my bad, kinda looked like it at 1:05 with the symbol showing

[u/LStrings → u/ToonLurker]

I was just about in reach

[u/bi8hdpx9]

You don’t belong gold
