you made an extremly good point at the beginning that even if it just throws them off for half a second its effective, which is so ture in top tier and pro lobbies cuase half a second or so is more than enough time to win a 1v1 or change the course of a teamfight
The movement techs instantly give away the real 1 tho, idk feels like he could have done this with other legends, maybe better, I was waiting for a clip where he won because of the decoys
Mirage is like the tactic where militaries will paint false cockpits on the underside of their planes, its a tactic of confusion and isnt meant to completely fool the enemy but is meant to temporarily throw them off guard enough to gain an edge in the fight.
@@chaddfrancis2179 the reason he got into streaming was so he can help pay the hospital bills for his dad who had a heart attack and nearly passed away
Mirage is always getting hated on, and I will admit it have been one of those people to hate on him. But thinking back on my many hours of previous gameplay playing against mirages, I have to admit he is one of the hardest legends to fight against, and whenever I see a solo mirage in da high combats area I know I can’t really take the time to find the real him bc everyone is gonna 3rd party. So yeah, mirage is hella op also thank you Mr. Merchant for posting another reaction video I love them so much the really help me improve at apex! Also has anyone ever told you that your voice is sort of asmr like? Love u!!!❤️❤️❤️🐐🐐🐐🔥🔥🔥
as a mirage with almost 70k bamboozles i can honestly say that he is the most underrated legend to use in 1v3s bc really smart mirages can lead away and pick apart an entire team 1 by 1
The key buff mirage needs is to remove the glowwy bits on his arms during his ult. It makes it way to easy for anyone to tell where the real mirage is. I'll use his ult and then people will immediately beam me, even from far away, because its a dead giveaway. Or they could completely rework him and give him the ability to disguise himself as other legends, that could make for some interesting interactions
As a mirage main around the 1k as far as ranking I use the mirage ult all the times with pushing and kinda how this dude uses mirage he just has a little more movement then me. Plus his invis is op when it's chaos around
Another mirage player is JHallBaller0 he focuses on bamboozles and revives more than DSU and doesn't do much movement but is also great to watch i like watching both play styles
No one believed me when I said Mirage has High Skill Ceiling with his bamboozles in High level ranked plays and Pro’s should take him seriously because he is worth it if he is mastered in high ranks… His Decoys cause so much Chaos and give you information along with even making it almost impossible for people to find out the real Mirage if you slide fast back and forth his Decoys people should Take Mirage more seriously; Mastering his bamboozling is amazing and rewarding. He is REALLY powerful when it comes to Mind games and literally mentally and psychologically skill taxing the people facing him if the Decoys and bamboozling is done right with movement and he’s a force to be reckoned with… His decoys are also a great way to detect Third parties to quickly make a decision of Shield swapping in Midst of all chaos. Summary; Mirage is REALLY fun to play casually… but also incredibly “High risk highest reward” gameplay because he’s the only actual Legend that can literally mentally fuck with people facing him and that’s what I love about him so much.. No other Legend really has that “Mind game” potential as much as Mirage.
Even though you mention you can tell which bot is which through aim assist, you still have to test *each individual decoy* to know which is the real one, so even then this still works just fine.
something you did not mention is how bamboozles effect footstep audio, mirage moves silent after popping a Q, the bamboozle is not just a trick on the eyes, learn to trick the ears also.
I don't care how good he is with mirage if he resorts to jitter aiming. It's why I will never play Apex on PC. Too many unintended gameplay exploits like this that you don't have to deal with on console
A big % of PC players don't do it but on console everybody has aim assist and besides being op a lot of console players can go and buy chronos or strikpacks double cheating right there... And i Saw a lot of console players doing super glides , bounyhup , etc. Do you really wanna talk about cheats ? Console players cheats with aim assist when a lot of PC players don't do extreme movement , jitter or use cheats and we have to deal with PC cheaters and broken aim assist from console... And we can't Turn off cross platform when console can...Yeah... Poor console players....
I've solo queued to diamond/Masters every season and split in Apex on console and trust me you can absolutely outplay any sort of "cheat" available on console. Strike packs only get you so far, and typically you only see them in masters/Pred lobbies I would say it's way more common in pubs on console for kill farming Played ranked in a PC lobby with my friend and 2 out of 5 matches we ran into hard cheating on smurf accounts... in a gold lobby! Never again. PC cheating vs console "cheating" is a night and day difference
U are talking like jitter aiming is good,is basically useless, you probably saw some tiktok clips and you think you can beam everyone with no recoil, jitter aiming is only useful if you need to put as much damage as you can on very long distances and in apex is very rare,in medium range fights is much better normal recoil control or recoil smoothing
So the reason Mirage is "trash" is because aim assist does not lock onto the clones, which means it finds the real one. In "high level" play most of the players are on aim assist. That makes him weak.
I hate mirage so much, he’s the most useless legend in the game, when I’m playing ranked and get a mirage 99% of the time they die first, no movement no auto heals no cover no scans no weapons, god he useless
@@Spartan-bl4pq you can control his decoys… his ult controls decoys and if you slide back and forth while you are cloaked fast enough or do some crazy movement tech you are almost indistinguishable from the decoys and lets you get behind enemies even to beam them from an angle it takes them time to react to; after reviving you can use the Cloaked Mirage the SAME way or make your teammate do that.. you don’t understand Mirage’s true potential.
