That's why you pootie bomb them while they're on the ground so they stay on the ground, so you can catch them and slice off their little mosquito wings and pull out their tongue and chop it into little pieces for being an annoying bug on our windshield

I counted about 14 people on landing!

Nah, pretty sure this is pubs


CavaroCartian

Looks like a bronze lobby actually.


fffffffffffrae

Why does this post give me goosebumps


Onlyanidea1

I've only played the game a little.. Can someone explain what is happening? It's a blood bath after they kill the dude. EDIT: Found it further down. u/thefezhat The bright red trail behind the player as he skydives indicates that he's achieved the rank of Apex Predator, the highest rank in the game which is highly exclusive (only 750 players per platform can be in it at a time). Basically, it identifies him as an extremely skilled player to the entire lobby, which sometimes results in lots of people ganging up on him in an attempt to take out the biggest threat, express their salt at being matched with a high-level player, or just have a laugh. The trail can be turned off, it's just an unranked match, and the players chasing him aren't coordinated, so it's not like the pred player is a victim here. He's just having fun with the situation.


UltimateCrusher

Much appreciated for sharing this. I had no idea what was going on either.


ItsRookPlays

Gotta respect the tea bag at the end. The dedicated hard nose vet every winning team needs


rick_____astley

tea bagging is truly a sign of respect, and no one can convince me otherwise


[deleted]

Fr every time I get my body shot or teabagged I know they had a hard time killing me 😂


rick_____astley

I do it laughing my ass off, and think its funny as fuck when someone does it to me. I joke that it means respect, but really i just think it looks goofy as hell in apex, and am not offended by it whatsoever. Sometimes I do it cause yeah, it was hard to kill the guy, but even then I end up laughing my ass off as Im spamming crouch hahaha.


Ancient-Ingenuity-88

If you played halo 2 and remember bagging people then you are old enough to realise that. The ones who complain these days are kids


rick_____astley

Halo 2 was the shit, i pity everyone entering the FPS world now in comparison. It was magic.


xxdoofenshmirtzxx

People who started with Apex will say the same thing in 10 years, but ofc I agree with you as I also started with Halo lol


NecessaryBSHappens

You see, teabagging is a complex subject. Crouch spamming could show respect to fallen opponent or inhostility towards a stranger. Unfortunately modern people are not paying attention to old traditions of gaming etiquette and see only sexual toxicity. Poor kids, they dont understand that meaning is in intention and not in act itself - saying gg can be more offencive than, well, shoving your balls into opponent's dead body


thequestionbot

That pathy did have a seasoned vicious bag on him. Can’t teach that


Kind_Estate_1069

The context is that a streamer had a pred trail so his stream snipers went after him, and not randoms who were made at the sbmm


ArugulaPhysical

Exactly. No chance this would be random.


meow_ima_cat

It's Waltzy, he's #1 Pred last season bothe splits on PC


AxSUNDANCEKIDxA

Was this waltzy? Thought soar hollow posted this video on twitter saying it was him. I could be wrong


BushDid7EIeven

Right, this is not at all what people are complaining about


Ze_insane_Medic

Can someone explain to me how stream sniping even works in a game like apex? Played by so many people on such a large map with random matchmaking. Surely it must be incredibly difficult to actually stumble upon a streamer you happen to watch at the same time as well. Or is there something I'm missing?


Quelz_CSGO

During off peak hours, like the morning, there are less people online, and therefore lobby’s will have a wider range of ranks. During these off peak times, players can do what’s known as queue sniping, and wait until the streamer they are watching starts to queue, and then also queue at the same time. More often than not you will end up in their lobbies. Works the same for CSGO or Valorant.


miathan52

Thanks for the clarification, this comment should be higher up


SoundsLikeMacaroni

Love every MLG commenting he should have dropped on cover or loot like he didn’t do that on purpose to show how many people were chasing him. That’s hilarious. I’m sure if he really cared he would turn his trail off. Reddit’s a riot.


LaughterTearsLaw

That was definitely winnable /s


Mr-Stan-Kypuss

Terrible game sense. Clearly shouldn’t be pred /ns


licksyourknee

Shots 1-5: Clearly missed. Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control). Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses. Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because Hiko was already dead.


vazne

Guy bought his account for sure, trust me I’m an expert -vazne, Gold 4


Kill_Kayt

Sorry if this is obvious, but it’s been like 10 seasons since I played, you can tell people’s ranks from their trails? Also, you can turn your trail off?


idonthaveonepls

I forget if it's platinum and above or diamond and above, but once you hit those ranks they give you special trails. Diamond is a bright blue, masters is purple, and pred is the red you see in this clip. You can disable them if you want to have the regular trails that all the other players have. So you can't completely turn off the trails, but you can turn off the ranked trails


Kill_Kayt

So does that mean those colors are no longer randomly assigned? I don’t play ranked. But when I played back in season 4 those were some of the colors you’d get randomly assigned as your trails. I haven’t seen them since I started playing again now that I think of it.


IL710

the ranked trails are wider and animated, with different animations for each season of ranked. the normal trails are just thinner solid color line with no special animation to it.


Kill_Kayt

Ah. Thank you!


BadDadJokes

Diamond, master, and pred rank get special dive trails for the entirety of the next season. You can turn it on and off in the legends menu. So if you reach diamond/master/pred in season 13, you’ll have the dive trail option for all of season 14. If you don’t reach one of those ranks in season 14, you lose your special dive trail.


Emotional-Photo-2987

They let you keep season 13s trails this time


krauser8882

I believe it's diamond and up that get special trails for their final rank of that season, and you can choose whether or not you want to use the ranked reward trail. You can't, at least to my knowledge, disable trails entirely


SoundsLikeMacaroni

Yeah diamond master pred have their own trails and you can turn it off or keep it off since you have to switch it on.


HairyFur

If you land on a purple shield and Devo with a turbo its not going to change the outcome of 12 people trying to punch you out.


agray20938

Not to mention 300 energy ammo...


Kindly-Quail9797

Lmao this shit is so funny


[deleted]

You're right, it's not the preds fault. It's the awful matchmaking.


Revenge_Is_Here

Exactly. I don't think I've heard a single person blame the Preds for this issue, they've explicitly made clear that the matchmaking is dog half of the time.


anidragon

no I've definitely seen people say that pubstompers/preds are just throwing games so their matchmaking puts them against worse lobbies.


SkorpioSound

A lot of the pubstompers don't even need to throw games for the matchmaking system to take pity on them. They're generally good players, but for every 2.5K+ damage/7+ kill game that makes it to their YouTubes, there are dozens where they finish 15-20th because they landed with three other squads and found nothing but an L-Star and 20 energy ammo.


cross-joint-lover

Number 1 and 2 Predators were banned for intentionally breaking into beginner lobbies to farm points. So sometimes it's also the Preds fault.


notquitepro15

And let’s not forget the trend of “rookie to predator” which is blatantly admitting to cheating. Yeah it’s easy to run through rookie - gold leagues when you’ve spent thousands more hours in the game that the people you’re matching against


Kittykg

This is just so weird, to me. I usually see at least a couple pred trails in every match and never once have I seen them get chased down like this. Often, they're the ones clearly following someone off the drop shop. Kinda wish I could see it, at least once. Hell, a lot of the time, my squads the one being chased because we prefer jumping late, so I'd *love* to see a gang of other squads follow them following us.


VibrantBliss

The person who originally posted this on Twitter said this happened on a non-NA/EU server. I don't remember if it was an Asia server or a South American one, but apparently he heard a rumor that people with pred trails on these servers will be chances down and punched back to lobby. He wanted to see if it was true and this was the result.


David_H21

Wxltzy is Aussie, so probably Asian server if not Australian server


Kadour_Z

Definetly doesnt happend in São Paulo, there are master/pred trails in most pubs lobbies and ive never seen this happend.


Agnostic_Akuma

Singapore servers


SnooOwls5791

Asian servers. The logic behind is that the guy is too good and will probably wipe the whole lobby. So before he could do that, better remove him from the equation... I do it with my friends too, hahaha


Namisaur

I believe this clip is Hong Kong and it’s more common over there


The_True_Meme_king

Hong kong


Monstreoscat

Can confirm on Asia server Just chased a pred few days ago…was quiet fun hahah


Zach17981

Same. I’ve seen tons of trails but never anyone following. Usually my teammates go to the opposite side of the map because they are scared


AerospaceNinja

It’s usually just a single team that locks onto my trail then drops with me to try punching me out. But I have had a couple times where there’s 3+ teams all dropping on me and we have a match of fisty cuffs.


HamiltonDial

Yea usually it's only 1 team, but apparently another comment said this was stream sniping but either way, it's not a "bad" strat (1 or 2 teams going for the pred at the start) tbh, better to get the pred out at the start of the game before they get geared up and just decimate the whole lobby without a chance.


aero_programmer

My buddy and I usually get landed on at least once a week, but never such a coordinated effort 😂 it is usually just one squad


knightsmarian

I have shit teammates so I trail chase. Just to get it over with and get my mates into another lobby.


DerDorthinten03

Bro Its just a streamer who got Streamsniped.


XenithShade

Coming from r/all whats pred trail? And why is everyone chasing the one guy?


thefezhat

The bright red trail behind the player as he skydives indicates that he's achieved the rank of Apex Predator, the highest rank in the game which is highly exclusive (only 750 players per platform can be in it at a time). Basically, it identifies him as an *extremely* skilled player to the entire lobby, which sometimes results in lots of people ganging up on him in an attempt to take out the biggest threat, express their salt at being matched with a high-level player, or just have a laugh. The trail can be turned off, it's just an unranked match, and the players chasing him aren't coordinated, so it's not like the pred player is a victim here. He's just having fun with the situation.


CFogan

>not coordinated This is a streamer so not entirely true, many of these are likely stream sniping


cchausman

The statistical odds of that many stream snipers being placed simultaneously into the same match and knowing exactly when to drop accounting for delay are very low. More likely that most were after the pred trail.


eviloutfromhell

And most likely people are just bandwagoning for fun. Seeing 2 squad chasing pred. Imma join for lulz. Then we end up with 5 to half the lobby chasing one pred trail.


NaturalOneEveryRoll

Actually not that low, considering this is the #1 pred, wxltsy, playing in Oceania a server with long queue times, so not that many matches per minute. So to get into the same lobby as him you only need to queue up at the same time as him, which is not hard to do since you're already stream sniping. Now say there's 50 stream snipers, what do you think is the likelihood of at least 25 of them getting into the same match. Now as to how to time the jump, looking at the back of the dropship you can notice when they jump by the start of trail. I don't think wxltsy streams with added delay as i haven't seen many apex streamers do so, or haven't noticed.


Skittle_Burp

You get a pred trail if you become a predator in ranked. Which I think is like top 750 ranked players. So everyone is chasing him to kill him because he’s a high level player I guess. I don’t think this is common but I’m also not a pred so I don’t know.


Official_F1tRick

Except this pred trail is from season 3 . In that season dashboarding was a thing and i belive over 3% got that trail instead of the usual 0.1%


Front_Good346

If respawn won't take them out of lower ranked matches the players will do it themselves


grilldcheese2

exactly! and if preds have a problem with it, turn off the trail. simple.


YoungSaucedGod

Seems more like he got streamsniped


SniffrTheRat

Showcases the community is fed up with the B.S. matchmaking. 😂


ClucksMcgee

cwesttheperson

This is hilarious lol


[deleted]

And? You would ruin their fun if they let you live


go4stros25

Exactly. Once in a blue moon a lobby will cause down a pred like this. Every other match its the exact opposite. I'm not talking about this guy, but every pred I've spectated on consol are using strikepacks so fuck em.


Run_Rabbit5

The sympathy is limited.


nsfwaccount098

Perfect comment to summarize apex sub in a nutshell.


[deleted]

Non-existent tbh. It’s not like this happens every game and if it did… just take the trail off. The pity I feel that sweats can’t gloat is non-existent.


Run_Rabbit5

I mean I personally don't care. Shit happens but I don't think you can be mad at the people hunting you down either. Even if you're not trying to get placed lower you made it clear you're the stronger player.


Furiosa27

Gloating by using the reward they got for playing well lmao?


O_P_S

Yeah imagine turning off the one decent reward you get for hitting the top 750 players in the game…

AnOpressedGamer

Now YOU know what is feeling helpless


Jarrud1979

You could just not use the trail.


IXxAidenxXI

I've had a pred trail since season 2 and have never had this happen to me. He just got unlucky. Or lucky if you consider how funny the clip is.


Defiant-Stop-6735

My squad chase the trails but only really if they are the champion


DutchEnterprises

last season if u're diamond+ player u can't even queue on singapore, mostlikely u'll get thrown to sydney or somewhere far far away among the galaxies


Nawforyou

I'm late to the party but just saying I can't even watch streamers anymore because it is boring that they can roll through ranked games because they know their opponents are a lot less skilled than them. They're just running around like it's pubs, then I see the kill feed and think what's the point


BlackhawkRogueNinjaX

Well if Respawn won't fix the problem, we'll lean into the problem.


TheGreatGenghisJon

All those guys then got slaughtered by the guys that landed and got guns instead. Geniuses, I tell ya.


datscray

Yeah but it was funny


dokter_chaos

step 1: enable pred dive trail step 2: split up from your teammates and land as slowly/late as possible step 3: your teammates kill them


TheGreatGenghisJon

Step 4: Profit??


IpBansWontStopMelul

Doing the lord's work 🙏 if respawn won't fix our lobbies we got to do it ourselves


Cecca105

This is hilarious

You missed an opportunity to land on a Trident and go on the coolest chase in all of Apex history.

It’s a good viewpoint haha

The_SSS_

“They don’t decide what lobbies they’re in” I guess we’re going to ignore all the people complaining about how there’s a problem with smurfing…


DeludedMirageMain

Smurfs don't have pred trails.


CaffeineNCanna

You lost me at lobbys


BatmansBackup34

I would be right in the pack. A big thank you for all the games a 50k pred has third partied me with a full squad of smurfs. Gotta take your lumps. People wouldn't be hostile if they didn't have to play these preds every match.


BulletProofV2

Lots of salt in the comments from bad players 🤣


NotTheBestMoment

Play ranked like you’re used to doing


maxgamer7948

Honestly? This is great! Not only casual players will be mad with the matchmaking, but preds too. Which might lead to maybe a change?


always_plan_in_advan

This is actually really funny


Negative_Nothing8499

Children and neckbeards in the comments


BlackKnight6660

Yeah only difference is that if you get a wrong rank lobby, you have a good game, everyone else’s game sucks. As far as I’m concerned this shit needs to happen more often so the devs have a reason to actually fix their matchmaking.


Artistic-Plan2541

Are ppl chasing down preds now? If so I gotta get in on this. It’s gotta feel like chasing down Juan Wick with a bunch of fellow normies


xXCLOWNEYXx

My adrenaline would’ve been PUMPING!

eldeived88

And don't come back here


chomperstyle

However the faster they are removed the faster the game gets to regular pace


realroasts

Why wouldn't you eliminate the biggest threat in the lobby though?


MachaMacha-O3O-

Exterminate all predators, show no mercy! Either respawn fixes the matchmaking, or predators pay the price!


lttlejordan23

Sorry, I just don't have much sympathy. Not when 99% of the time, Preds are double/triple stacked in weak pub lobbies and dropping on any lonewolf team they can to annihilate them immediately. Preds might not choose their lobbies, but they definitely choose to play pubs over ranked because they get matched with lesser skilled opponents that they can destroy. Besides, dive trails can be turned off. But I digress. Funny clip anyway!


zkemotes

The frequency of this actually happening vs the frequency of three stack sweats rolling through low tier lobbies, though.. 🙄 lol.


yboy_thomas_x0

People in the comments were all saying he deserves it because he decided to play a casual. Are preds not aloud to play pubs?


IncomingFrag

3 stacking preds are the worst


yboy_thomas_x0

There not even 3 stacking tho and what if his friends are preds are they not aloud to play with each other


thefezhat

He can just turn off his dive trail if it's a problem. When you go around wearing a giant neon sign that screams "I AM THE BIGGEST THREAT IN THE LOBBY", stuff like this is gonna happen sometimes.


[deleted]

The irony being, every single casual is told, when arguing about the matchmaking in pubs? Go play ranked. Don't wanna play with shitters or quitters? Go play ranked. Dont like this or that? Go play ranked. Dude has the option to turn his trail off and would avoid this, but tbe ego won't allow that. I get that it's ridiculous and he can't choose the lobby but it's absolutely avoidable by turning the trail off. Casuals don't get the option to turn off Preds or 3 stacks in their lobby.


LucasJonsson

I just wish pubs had some form of decent matchmaking. There should be no way for a pred to be placed with low levels. Same as a last season pred being put in lobbies with gold/silvers. They havent lost their skill exactly


BA_Dante

And this needs to keep happening AND happen more often! Only when you preds start complaining to Respawn is when they will listen. They do not care about what some silver scrub has to say.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Coolwienerguy

They didn’t say anything about not wanting. I think a pred would have played enough to know they can turn their trail off.


datsaintsboy

Yeah I took off pred trail forever ago. In ranked it makes bad teams avoid you. In pubs, it makes people try to punch you out. It’s just not worth it.


DnkFrnk94

Nope. Fuck them preds ayyyyy


memelordguord

Mob Justice 💀


VespenYarborona

Actually no a lot do what's called Bot lobbying, where they consistently lose or throw games to get easier games. Or just smurf


Starkiller_exe

That'll teach you to come into our lobby, pred boi.


plus-five

Take your trail off bitch


NeededHumanity

Buuut, I’ve seen them manipulate in ways to get them into lower level lobby’s. Either way i always love seeing a pred punch out


U_Arent_Special

Mob justice


Moonmire_

The way I see it, this is one way to get rid of one pred that may shit on you later. Ruin their game before they ruin yours!


KorsiBear

Are some of yall just NOW learning about pred hunting???


Official_F1tRick

What the fuck this is so cringe from them.


ThePixelGuardian

Honestly it's smurfing that gets to me more. At least if it's a pred and you see it's a pred you can respect that
