That One Guy

@ApexLiveComms Did you also hypothesize that you'll lose players? I personally enjoy playing with my friends and if I can't play with my friends then half the fun of ranked is gone. Playing solo or even duo so many times I get that one teammate that just doesn't care or does their own thing...

📋TESTING: From June 9th to June 23rd we will be conducting the following test in Ranked: Ranked will be solo queue only for all players Diamond and above. If you are Diamond or higher, you will not be able to squad up as a premade in Ranked. Our hypotheses are that this will create more evenly matched high-skill lobbies, reduce hard-carries into Diamond, Master and Predator and build trust in the overall fairness of these matches. While this is a commonly requested feature by portions of our community, we will be closely monitoring community sentiment and match data. Note: The in-game notification that some encountered yesterday (May 19th) was a visual error, and players are currently still able to squad up without restrictions.

@kevvwill De Jong is not sitting on the bench. I don't know how many more good seasons he must have for people to stop this unnecessary slander

If Rashford stays, Barcelona will have four subs: Rashford, Olmo, Araujo, De Jong -- all on starter wages. I only see people talking about moving Araujo, for the usual reasons. But a broader issue exists here re: cost to value for a strapped club.

@_PoolPartyPapi_ @Shxnski__ 100% but they shouldn't have a huge say on how ALGS should be played considering they don't understand BRs to begin with lol

@Shxnski__ Casuals are what keep the game alive financially

Maybe casuals are the problem bc holy shit 😂

@TTVdookiepox @Shxnski__ None of my rank games are running away to avoid fights lol. I always have fight in every game and I much rather play against players who enjoy the fight and grind then "pub stomp" players who want to chill with their friends.

Correct. ALGS is boring for the most part. Ranked is boring so I'm a filthy pub stomper. Big action, big fun. You better die trying to grab my banner, I don't wanna watch you run for ten minutes. If liking to fight, chasing fights, dropping hot and having fun makes me a "casual" instead of folks who hide and run, then I guess I'm a casual. Now which one of us has fun playing Apex and which one just bitches and complains about it?

@LFCLaurie Yes but it's not Fabrizio's responsibility to not make a post when the news is out already

All Pep’s done to become arguably the greatest manager in Premier League history and we have Fabrizio Romano announcing his successor before City have even put out any kind of statement. He deserved to announce it on his own terms like Klopp. Stuff like this ruins the sport.

@abrabor_ We've given Ansu a chance since 2021. He's been way too injury prone and at some point even lost his confidence. Can't blame him but we need to stop being emotional about this stuff. Ansu is not Barca quality anymore. He doesn't elevate the team and he won't help us win titles

Ansu Fati should please come back, if we can give Rashford chance, giving Fati a chance too shouldn’t be difficult

@ReshadRahman @Alfremartinezz I'm only ok with this if he's a Rooney replacement as long as he's not the main winger signing

🚨💣 JUST IN: Barcelona is going to try their best to keep Rashford, whether it is on another loan or a permanent solution. Hansi Flick is his biggest supporter. @Alfremartinezz #Transfers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🔵🔴☎️

@Rvssim @Trollkickoff What a horrendous take by the way. Just say you know nothing about Pep's Barcelona

@Trollkickoff Come on he had the best generation of barcelona even an average coach that time would've won lot of trophies with that team

🚨 Pep Guardiola on why he left FC Barcelona in 2012: "People think I left because we stopped winning... but the truth was much deeper." "Managing Barcelona is not just coaching football it consumes your mind every single day. For four years, every match felt like a final, every decision was questioned, every mistake became headlines." "The rivalry with Real Madrid under José Mourinho made everything even more intense. The pressure on and off the pitch never stopped. Mentally, it was exhausting." "Inside the dressing room too, I felt the energy changing. I loved those players, I loved that club... but a coach must know when his message is no longer as powerful as before." "I didn’t want to stay one year too long and damage what we built. So I told the club honestly my batteries were empty. I wasn’t leaving because I stopped loving Barcelona... I was leaving because I had given it everything.

@xThyQueen Completely disagree. Being able to see through walls while flying is the main reason

Valk is only a top pick because of the stupid axel movement. She's the only legend that can actually get away from her. She wouldn't be so picked if the movement was dealt with

@FutbolJan10 Yes. It's over for Ansu at Barca and the moment we all accept it the better it'll be be

Am I the only one who want him back in the squad next season? A backup ST, LW and AM, a 3 in 1 package.

@whotfisray_ Nah he wasn't that guy as simple as that. He was an impulsive transfer after seeing Endrick go to Madrid.

Xavi just had to ruin Vitor Roque man, we wouldn’t be so stressed about a Lewy replacement.

@EgbokaTobe @HYPERMYSTx I don't think if you're diamond you're considered a "casual" especially if you're grinding. Besides you got to understand 0.7% of the player base are masters or preds so it'll be impossible to make those players only ever play against each other

@GodMinusOne_ @HYPERMYSTx nope preds are still going to be stomping diamonds as usual this update said nothing about preds only going agaisnt masters and preds

APEX RANKED PRE-MADE TEST 👀‼ • Squads restricted to 1-tier difference (down from 2 tiers) • Starting May 19 – June 23.

@SemperFiMessi What a terrible take. Wages sure I'll give you that but saying he doesn't make a difference is such a terrible take.

The sooner Frenkie de Jong leaves Barcelona,it'll be a blessing for FC Barcelona. Highest wage among players, mostly injured, hardly any iconic performance. He is there only for the couple vibes with his gf. Time to get rid and upgrade to someone who can make a difference.

@Rayanwaves Let's be serious for once. I definitely want Ansu to succeed but it's extremely clear to me that he has lots to prove before he ever goes back to Barca. We've been saying what if since 2020 but injuries kept him out of the field. For better or worse his time at Barca is over

He’s going to tear it up next season and get a 100M move to the premier league like why can’t we bring him back !!

@fsuforevernoles @Smittcmd @Jack_Gaughan If we're back to the 1:1 I think we should be able to. My only concern is giving him a huge salary. If he joins he needs to accept he isn't going to be a starter. Therefore his wages should be reduced because he's a depth signing not a priority signing.

@GodMinusOne_ @Smittcmd @Jack_Gaughan I agree with all of that but can we afford to when other pressing positions are in need, such as a striker, a better defender and at least and a right back?

🚨 JUST IN: Barcelona and Juventus have both had a look into the finances around a potential Bernardo Silva deal. @Jack_Gaughan #Transfers 🇵🇹🔎

@F1BigData Horner goes back to RedBull once Max leaves and they struggle to win

Explain this in Formula 1 terms

@NealGardner_ I'm pretty sure it's been said he's prioritizing the world cup which I don't fully blame him for. League was over for a long time now

Does anyone genuinely know what’s going on with Frenkie de Jong? He was declared medically fit on the 11th of April, with no news of any relapse since, and yet has failed to play even a full half of football.

@ChronicallyMadx Knowing the abilities you have and the abilities you're going against is part of game knowledge

Apex can we start nerfing legends instead of buffing them so the game is more about gun skill and game knowledge and not ability spam 🙏🏻

@BarcaTimes @sport Good. He doesn't elevate the team in any way and if we keep signing mediocracy then we'd never progress
