If I’m being completely honest I preferred ranked because having br teammates THERES always something bad that could happen, also thanks for somehow not leaving apex through these hard times I appreciate your consistency
good thing about ranked is that players are punished for leaving. Pubs are full of people doing battle pass missions. Jump - disconnect, change legend and repeat.
You good sir an absolute legend of a creator. Due to life complications IV been experiencing a fairly rough battle with overwhelming depression and watching your videos have been one of the few things that has made it more manageable. And since there will always be toxic comments i wanted you to know there is at least but not limited to 1 person your content has positively impacted. Keep doing what you do!
Thanks for sharing your hardship with me, Brandon. I can relate to the depression, and there is light at the end of the tunnel. The secret for me was to become curious about how depression worked; spent time reading about it and learning about the tricks our brain plays on us. Not an easy road even once you have all the tools, but if I can do it, I know you can too. Couple the research with mindfulness and anything to do with the present moment. Eckhart Tolle has some excellent books on the topic and there are UA-cam videos of a very nice chap called Mooji who really helps with life perspective. Stay curious about the brain and how to stop the continuous internal chatter, and freedom will be yours. Join our discord for a nice community to surround yourself with too. Peace
It can be toxic comments but i Will always stay positive on you rag tagg. Btw i watched this video after it vas released and you are my favorite youtuber
I started eating my chips really fast because your first match was so intense and the video was only HALF WAY DONE. What a game!
In an all seriousness, even though the game needs some major attention and it feels like that's all the community has been hearing about lately - there's so many of us that still love it and it's the creators like you that keep the flame alive. Well done, and the Michael Scott scream was perfect.
Guys, I'm getting tired of seeing the "Did you know that Loba's ult breaks when she steals..." Yes, I know. Everyone who has played Loba will know this by now, surely. The point is that if you take what you want (ammo etc) then steal an item from the vault, it's considered to be deliberately breaking the black market. I have no idea why so many people have come to the conclusion that it is an accident. It's only an accident if they didn't know what it does. Otherwise, it ain't great behavior.
Ragg I’m with you that Loba was 🗑.On top of that she cost you all the match by not participating in a winnable fight til too late.It’s kinda infuriating just to watch honestly.
If loba wants something from the vault, she should still wait until her teammates get 2 non vault items
i love that part where it said 6000000 damage with the chage rifle
26:24 Storm is mistaken. Landslide is actually one of my preferred drop locations this split precisely because it actually does have decent loot like you found (and usually enough for a full squad), then pushing to Countdown to third party gets that early game KP. Good video again, Rag!
Also have to agree. Dropping too hot means dying. Dropping too far off means no loot and no fights.
But right inbetween is where it's at. Enough loot to start with some decent gear without having to fistfight with 3 other squads, while at the same time close enough to those squads that you can loot and walk over just when they're done, ready do pick off the survivors.
There's nothing quite like picking a Valkyrie out of the sky with a charge rifle. 🤣
Yeah, I've literally had a Loba in 2 ranked matches this week that only looted...never shot their guns. Is there a new challenge I didn't hear about.😁
I see that shit all the time. Then you've got me where it's like "If I didn't contirbute i'm putting my traps up and hiding in a corner until it's my turn"
Just yesterday had a match where the game crashed on me for switching a p2020 to a bocek, panic loaded in to see my team had earned me 6 very unwarranted KP. So yeah, just trap up the building and when they start to move grab the ammo/cells and whatnot that are leftover. I tend to play very supportive as a Caustic who prefers a Wingman+Charge/Peacekeeper so, only like 3/4 of my slots are used for ammo and I really only like to carry around 1 arc (2 ulti accels though) which is only to break a door for my ult.
Soooo true and they always place there black marker when they’re farthest away from the team so they can get all the good stuff then end up dying with only 27 damage done
The first match’s last fight was insane! Always a pleasure to watch these epic tales!
these videos are an absolute pleasure to watch he’s funny and the editing is on point, deserves more subs 100%
I was jumping around screaming at your 3v3 at the halfway point in the game. You are amazing both as a person and a entertainer.
You've definitely become my favorite UA-camr to watch! Your story telling is amazing, the quick wit commentary is what gets me laughing 🤣 I think the best part of these videos is everyone can relate to your stories of victories and defeats and everything else that comes with Apex. Keep up the amazing work!
So glad to see a video from you today. I've had such a bad day and seeing you play my main (Fuse) and shove some knuckle clusters down people's throats was just what the dr ordered. TY for making my day better, man. I hope you have a good one.
these are the only apex videos i can watch like an actual film/documentary. Its also been amazing watching you get better and better at the game
Yeah, I’m rather enjoying this split too. Yes it’s challenging, but incredibly rewarding. I am pretty sick of those randoms who like to hot drop in ranked. Quiet dropping really helps you get through to higher rounds most of the time, especially in the current ranked format. Yes, early kills are nice, but a quick trip back to the lobby with a minus score isn’t at all.
I think it's just people still adjusting, Season 12 ranked quality was terrible and encouraged this behavior. I feel like by the time this split started people have started to realize that behavior was bad.
@@PkmnLovar No they dont realize, the same people doing it have always and always will do it. They have far too high of an ego to realize that landing with 4 other squads is a bad idea, and it's on you for not being good.
I play 1hr or 2 a day sometimes I don't even play.. I ain't trying to just loot all game either cause it's boring af, if teammates could carry the weight wouldn't be no problem landing hot drop.. I be at 4-6kills then my teammates cant 1v1 so many times I'm at that many kills last dude drops me & I leave him low health & my teammates somehow manage to lose a 2v1 so if you think bout it goes both ways because after hot drop if you want to camp like if you landed far away you can & w good loot.. I always give jump master thoe for same reason I don't want people complaining where we landed so you choose.
@@BartBasquiato The simplest solution to this is land with 1-2 other squads instead of landing hot and then rotate to the hot areas. If you pay attention to the dropship path and especially if you have general map knowledge, you should be able to reliably find fights, especially if you're capable of hearing audio.
Or, drop adjacent to a hot zone, grab some loot and get some action while you're cleaning up the people who did drop hot.
@@PkmnLovar or like I said handle your 1v1s then we can kill off people trying to rotate to hot drop.. also that's why I said I give jumpmaster if they want to go hot drop I got no problem I just got a problem when they cant handle their fights.. trust me I know how to play the game but also I'm a team player in rank some people want to land far & we see no action all game that's what I meant.. I'm not saying I land somewhere & I don't find anybody my teammates just decide to land in the middle of nowhere w like 3 houses just by that it tells me they ain't willing to fight so I go at their pace then we die to the best team in the lobby w red evo while we gray or blue.. that's why I said goes both ways, yea I got RP but did I have fun? No
Hey Rag, I took a break from apex about a year ago and im just now getting back into it. I used to watch back then and coming back to you now. Your gameplay has seen leaps in skill good job man!
Man, you started cooking around 7:00 minutes in and never really stopped. GG
Also digging the editing. Can't help but love the various audio memes.
God damn the cyberpunk techno infusion while playing as fuse always hypes me up...love your editing and music choices...perfect comedic timing as well
...sending much love and appreciation from the USA....
I spent the last week actually going directly to your channel to see if I had been missing your uploads in my notifications.
Your content is that good.
Glad to see you back in the chair mate!!
I have so much fun watching you play and listening to your witty and funny commentary. Sincere appreciation for all the time and work you put into making these videos ❤️
I have binge watched all of your videos recently and you drive me insane about ammo 😂 it’s like you purposefully ignore ammo you’ll take on a full squad with like 16 rounds 😂
This is the first content creator Ive heard talk about the sweaty ass pubs games. For real. nice work Rag. Keep it up man.
youre definitely one of my favorite content creators. i get so happy when i see uve uploaded. another banger see ya at the next one !
one of the best endings to a game i've seen in a long time!! Awesome battle!
Damn Rag Tagg, you totally decimated that last squad on quickplay as Fuse. Great video as always.
0:10 I'm only 10 seconds in and already laughing out loud. Bashing your head from the jump pad and falling off the map. It's the kind of thing I would do!
This video format is so fun to watch!
I love this video. I've come back to it a few times and it's always just as funny. 😊
Your videos are always so engaging with the soundtracks you add to them!
Rag.. you are my favorite Apex Player of all time i swear. The way you tell the story of your games is just mezmerizing. Please do not stop ever!
You are one of my favorite creators and am glad to see the recent growth in your playing bud keep it up!
Been so long since i seen you - glad to know you're still making it online!!
Lmao not gonna lie def thought you fell in the hole when you brought it up ..I laughed out loud good stuff 🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic work. High quality. Great job.
Rag Tagg proving time and time again why he's my favourite Apex youtuber ❤️ also that first match was so intense I was at the edge of my seat hoping you get the win, especially since I really really like Fuse! 😀
As a fuse main. When they are in the ring in a heat shield, you should non stop bully them with knuckle clusters and nades
That 6 million damage was hilarious 😂
Love watching your videos, been watching for ages. I always get hyped to play apex watching your videos, I just got my 2nd 20 bomb and 2nd 4K. Keep up the sick videos. But look after yourself.
Dang! I was just going through withdrawal! Your upload came just in time!!!!!
great edits and commentating keep it coming!
Loved watching you play fuse, u were so close to that 4K
My favorite UA-camr to watch so farr i just love ur videos man
i watched one video and got hooked watched like 8 videos todat love the content
14:58 you are using the same R-301 skin as me. also love the vids
God damn you were a beast as Fuse in that first match, apart from that start where you got crushed.
Ngl you've gotten so much better at this game since I started watching your vids
Can we take a moment and respect how smooth that slide into the ad for Starfleet command was!
Outstanding content as always, and gets my adrenaline going. HA! I watch you with that Charge Rife, and think, Oh, I would love to try that, but then I come to my senses and realize I SUCK with the Charge Rifle, and should stick with the "Dad Guns". LOL! Can't wait for the next one. Take care.
It's hitscan, just stay on the target. But then, basically everything else has bullet drop, so going back and forth without adjusting can be pain
I started playing ranked and honestly I am having a bunch of fun more fun than just quick playing
The teammates in Belgium servers in ranked (atleast for me) most of the time almost make me quit the game and almost everyday i quit for the rest of the day
@@myst222 most of eu server are bad just some angry kids thinks they’re the best in the game and expect the best team and the best push just play in New York or Virginia server is much better
You just made my day, thank you!
Giggling at that squirrel moment during the ad astra
I love your content rag tagg
Gives me joy
This was my favorite ☺️
I’d really enjoy to play with you one day just to see how you play and how you would edit the videos after would definitely be an experience keep them videos up bro🤟🏼
Rag you are the Best. Love your stories!!! Also is it my luck? But this season tons of my ranked teammates disconnect as soon as they go down. Like wtf people?
Damn ragtag u’re one hella entertaining ytuber love ur vids
My phone was buffering so I got to see you you miss every shot on that ash in slow motion 😂
Your videos are so entertaining 🤣 keep up the good work good sir
Ahhh your words mean a lot “it’s ranked we don’t want to drop too hot” can’t say how many times I’ve had to repeat this to my friends who love to drop fracture
Yup. a good drop should be one that is closeby, but avoids the initial brawl. You can always rotate over after the loot is picked. By that time there should be maybe 1-2 squads left that are low on ammo and healing, so easier to pick off.
Love your content Ragtag!
The start caught me off guard LMFAOOO “if we die we die” screaming
Also gotta say the great Biddy is man keep up the good work Do you recommend any weapons for beginners
The Darth Maul Rebels reference was nice Rag
I have to say gold shield and backpack can in clutch when put together! I've had a couple games that were close because of them!
Very exciting final round to watch.
I can't wait for more of ol' posh tag
The most entertaining content creator 💯🔥 Keep up!! Always fun and hype
Thank you again rag tagg!
Sick video as always Rag! I gotta ask man, where do you get your background tracks from?
You are without a shadow of a doubt the goat of all apex content creators. Not only are you extremely nice to people you play with, but also to your fans. Because you are not the best at the game and you admit you are not the best, makes you the most relatable content creators around. Keep up the good work and good vibes, because you inspire me to keep on playing apex and improving.
Awesome clutch for the Gutter Tier!
hahaha that 6000 damage in the start of the vid got me like WHAAAT but noticed the 6 after 3 replays
That first game is 🔥 great win!
Love the editing
Awesome! We got the charge rifle song back HAHA!!!
Ragg ragg I’m on the road to diamond in arenas and plus I love your videos
That slow Valk scene was hilarious
Last split I got to bronze 2 after 2 weeks and gave up cause solo que and this split Iam in silver 4 granted it’s only been a few weeks since the change but I do think this system update has been a lot more effective
Yeah and it feels more rewarding to hit that rank. Like I managed to slip into d4/3 last season and thought it was LARGELY a result of the ranked system as i had always been plat, ending gold 1 season. Hitting diamond again was really reasurring and made me realize i'd actually improved. A LOT compared to the 0 fps experience me that started apex.
Great video! Your beaming with the R99!!! When are you and jelly teaming up again? Love the banter
@@RagTagg that’s a shame mate! But you are soon not gonna be known as the gutter tier from what I seen with that R99 🤣
Me and my brother play regular and have a little UA-cam channel! Would love a game with ya mate
8:39 When you don't know which is the real Mirage, just shoot at all of them 😂❤️
I honestly do like this split as well. I have played ranked more this season than any other.
BEST EDITING - when your 6pt charge rifle hit became 6000000 LOL
Love ya bro!
Hey Ragtag do you know why Caustic lit up orange in the middle of the fight?
EMPECCABLE edit this week. NICE! LETSOO!!!
I have been sick lately and depressed haven't really cared much for anything that includes play in the game but after watching this one oh boy my fancy just might be cold again thank you a good old rug tug 😏
Another amazing video. Thank you so much and hope you have a great day.
Love the video. But I’ve been hating how this seasons split ranked and map rotation in ranked. My jumpmasters always jump fragment like we’re playing pubs.
"HOOOOOO CHARGE RIFLE" + 100 harisma in this video,im dont know why,but im love it.
In todays video pubs feels liked ranked on steroids as per usual.
I've found that:
In pubs, either one teammate disconnects, or they solo drop and die immediately half the map away. Plus rage quitting is a an all time high.
Ranked however is either a full squad of sensible people who avoid hot drops leading to a good high RP match, or streamer building in fragment, which, 90% of the time ends into - 30 RP
Overall, Ranked is more enjoyable (most of the time) but we need some LTMs because in my opinion battle royale is stating to feel a little stale.
from what ive learned in the apex BR world, i have a new tastes in ranked play. in casual, anything can go wrong, plus a majority of the time, your teammates Arnt as focused on the game as you are, leading them to quicky die early in the game, when we clearly have god spot, but in ranked, there's a focus on aiming for a goal, stakes are higher, both you and your teammates are really in it to win it. it changes gameplay in a definitive level Wich makes looting different, rotation different, and make the fights so much more exhilarating. sure there will be that one sweaty wraith coming to ruin your day but there only a percentage to what ranked is truly all about.
Personally I Live for the FIGHT, every encounter can lead to anything, i live the moment
when it comes down to your skill, wits and your teammates by you side, its one hell of an experience
That is pretty much how i feel it's supposed to be. In ranked you want to win (or at least make it through the majority of the game with good RP) but in pubs anything goes. Try out new stuff, use different guns, play a legend for the first time, practice movement, learn maps. There is nothing lost, so people will do anything.
How did he fly back up after going thru the building into the lava while playing fuse and not valk?
I have yet to play a match in ranked that wasn't either a) a hot drop right into Fragment or b) a good drop followed by a mad sprint into Fragment and six teams with secure positioning.
The lower RP cost is great, except now people aren't afraid to hot drop and it's incredibly frustrating.
Yup, offensive always means you're on the move, defense means you have your spot secured. Running in blind is just stupid. Better be careful.
i still get some of those teammates that hot drop or drop terribly i usually leave them be then they get mad when they die lol thts y ive been using crypto to deal with teammates like that
Those R-99 shot hit different 😅
Rag tag doubt you could see this but one thing I wish that could happen is you carry me through games (mostly ranked trios)
Raising a grass fed bocek 😂
I love this guy
ive ran into that wraith, they got mad when they rushed a whole team and died with only 6 damage lol
Lower Decks is here now and available for a limited time in Star Trek Fleet Command! wehy.pe/y/2/RagTagg
Beans
Hey rag tagg what apex server do u play on?
💯💯
Dude you are actually good now. Or at least u play enough to have a good amount of good gameplay footage, lol
I love how you pick up your arrows from dead boxes 😂😂
