Stop Using The OCTANE... FENNEC Vs. OCTANE In 2023

Give the editor a raise!

The biggest thing is switching Cars makes you think more, instead of zoning out and bumping your teammate like a npc.

The swap from Hybrid to the Octane feels really hard to do, but swapping to Fennec, I can almost perfectly carry over all mechanics instead of Octane. It's insane.

i'm a main fennec, but in the last few weeks, I changed the Fennec to the Octane and I'm feeling "lighter and more precise" in the aerial plays.. pure Subtle Variation

Glad I got the fennec a couple of days ago ! I feel so much more consistent and play way better, i'm not flashy and fast anymore but very regular and I feel like the car just does its job better cuz the hitbox fits the fennec better than the octane

I personally use the Scarab

I started off with the octane, but found more success early on using the Dominus and Breakout. But once I got the Fennec, it quickly became my main choice and most confidence boosting vehicle for sure

I've been maining fennec since about 3k hours, but I always love going back to the octane for a bit here and there. I always thought of it as kind of a honeymoon phase because it would wear off over time, but now that you talked about the "subtle variation effect", it makes a lot more sense. I will often slightly tweak my camera and other settings if I feel in a rut for a bit (I heard GarrettG mention one time that it can make things feel fresh lol)

I don't get how it took this long for the fennec to be the most used car in rlcs

I prefer the Octane myself. I find the Fennec feels too "bouncy" and "loose", where the Octane feels much tighter.

Seriously the video editing was on a another level. Congrats!

I tried maining the Fennec for a few hours, and surprising I was scoring EVERY SINGLE SHOT! I was not even missing 😁. Thanks for the tips!

The subtle variation effect also applies to different hitboxes. If you switch from Octane to Merc, then Dominus, Fennec, etc., in theory, you will learn faster. Confidence is everything in this game so it's good to have the mentality 'I can play well with any car'.

Love your videos man, such and inspiration and very helpful

Hey Luke, love the content man keep it up

Your materials are amazing in terms of content itself but also visual representation. Respect for you and team preparing it.

For me it's the feeling. Fennec feels more "clunky" and octane feels more "slim" and "agile" because of the skin. My experience

Youre always super helpful, hopefully someday i can get into some coaching too

Hey Luke! Just a quick addition to SVE (subtle variation effect). The effect doesnt work the same way as placebo which is purely mentality. SVE works by forcing ur brain to adapt to new environments (in the experiment its the slightly changed sens. You might not notice but your brain automatically tries to adapt which results in higher brain activity for the desired task. SVE is commonly used by high level aimers. It wouldn't work by just changing ur car design or color on the other hand. Just wanted to clarify that :)

good vid. i use both octane & fennec and feel like im quicker with the octane but more accurate with the fennec. both great cars.
