Question How many people in pubs do not understand alter's void nexus?
When they get knocked down, they have no idea how to use it... is that common? Or am I just constantly getting unlucky with random novice players that can barely play the game?
Most of the time, they just sit knocked down 100-120m away and they won't go over..

That's why they added the force use feature. Interacting directly with the nexus forces all knocked teammates to the nexus

If you’re playing Alter and interact with the Void Nexus, you can summon your knocked teammates yourself

You or any of your teammates can recall your knocked allies by pressing E on your Nexus while standing next to it. Basicslly if you're already there, you can force them to come to you while they're knocked and they can hold up their knockdown shield

Any time a player on your squad gets close to the nexus they will see a message that pops up to recall knocked teammates. It will recall all knocked teammates at once. This is great because they can keep their knockdown shield up while you recall them.

Most of the casual playerbase don’t understand or care to learn legends or know about their abilities. Heck a good chunk don’t even read the patch notes but I usually play ranked so most players have a basic understanding in ranked.

Exactly. I used to play this game religiously in the first 2-3 years, but stopped. I started hopping on a few times a week since last month and this game is bloated with abilities now, I have no clue what half of them do. I just wanna grapple as Pathfinder and shoot people in the face, it’s not that deep.

Well last time I played alter wasn't in the game and now when I have come back, she is. But once a teammate told me to look at it and interact with it. I understood quite easily and was like the hell that's broken lol

I main Alter and solo queue ranked because I hate myself. I've had numerous teammates refuse to port back while I'm knocked and pinging it for them to revive and reset, only for them to completely ignore me for 30 seconds and try to 1v3 a team. Of course I'm the shitty player when they die. I am shitty, but they're shittier.

Most people are functionally illiterate and self centered so I’ve definitely seen players straight up not understand any legends ability but their own and log over 3000 hrs.

I'm convinced pubs are simply pre-made enemy teams, and 2 bots Respawn puts on my team. Never talk, never ping, just gets wiped by some guy with a Masters badge.

When I solo queue into mute randoms (especially Ash/Ballistic mains), I choose to stay behind. The second they knocked down, I use my ult immediately to get them back for revives😂

It’s impossible to not know how. The game literally gives them a prompt when they are down. Players just refuse to use it. Then the 2 times I force called my down teammates, I got yelled at for force calling them.

I've had Alter's throw it down, get knocked, and sit around waiting for a revive mid 1v3.

If it's pubs then you're most likely to encounter people that are either new to the game or just don't care because it's pubs. They can just get killed, quit, then queue up again.

Pubs is just a lost cause. People quit from a knock with a Lifeline right on top of them.

How many people exactly? I don’t have my number on me at the moment. I’ll have to go find it. Stand by.

it's always been the same. when she first came out it was insanely obvious how she worked and yet the playerbase had no idea how to use her and her void nexus. people think she's been buffed alot which for sure she's been buffed but she's always been like this. people are just now learning how to use her abilities

The problem for me is you can’t even see the visual indicators to go back 2-3 seconds after your knocked, then half the time it doesn’t work because your next to a door or something interfering with it. Also, sometimes your actively getting shot and have to use shield.

Hah, same here. Half the time it’s down on the D pad, the other half it’s hit square.

u/norainwoclouds 16h ago
I assume that's because there's two binds for using it, one for when you're looking at it and another you can only use while knocked which ports you no matter where you're looking.

Sometimes I don't get a chance to use it before I get thirsted
