Ranked not fun more :(

[123]

I want to congratulate the developers of APEX.
They were really able to make a working ranking system that really gives rankings meaning.
But at the same time, they managed to kill the fun of the game.

I am a solo player and I love competing with other players.
I do not consider normal modes, and different events are just for fun, nothing more. It's not serious at all.
And only ranked gave me this feeling of competition.

Last season I finished on master, although I play maximum for diamond.
This season I was sent to the rank of "rookie 2", and I'm just in shock.
When I kill 2 enemies and 2 of my teammates with 100% shields fall against 1 enemy 5-10 games in a row, or run away 1 in 3...
My ass is on fire.
I understand that by climbing higher in rank there will be better partners, but these -50 spoil the mood terribly.

The developers said that there would be more points for elimination.
For killing 1 player I got - tada - 1 POINT! ONE!
We got 10-15 points for eliminating squad!
It doesn't make any sense to fight someone when viewed from a points position, you will need to kill 4-5 squad - what are the chances that you will not die?

Now I see only 1 option to increase the rank - either you are a super cyber player who breaks 50 people in solo, or Loba > red zone > first-aid kits, or just ratting.

In general, once again I congratulate the developers with the hands from in ass)

I didn't even play last season because they turned it into an RPG where you just go waste time and see your numbers go up. Now it seems like it's still the same?

Kills might not even exist. Just queue and waste time. Get points. Rank number go up. Brain go brrrr. You're not even playing the game anymore. It's the game playing you. I would understand if this made the game popular because at least then the devs/publishers could use that as their argument. But no it's the complete opposite. Game has been losing increasingly more players because of this change. (steamcharts dot com)

They don't want to put too much effort into it, so when everyone was upset at how easy it was, they didn't rework the system like it needed and just did some simple tweaks. People have been upset at ranked forever now, they did a rework. No one liked it and people will keep abusing and cheating the system until they really put thought into it. Chances are that wont happen. Last season was not even that bad people were just but hurt they weren't the 1% anymore. It was broken but it was not completely broken.
It doesnt help how OP and broken support is, if you aint got support you aint winning
no matter what preds will always on purposely and accidently get into rookie matches and do RP farms or LP as it is called now

The funny thing is that at high ranks it is easier than at low ones.
Low is the so-called "ELO HELL"

I hope that they will someday understand that people enter this game first of all in order to experience dynamic gameplay and not only at the end, when there are a couple of teams left, and you have already received points for the place, but throughout the WHOLE MATCH because the reward for the kills stimulated you for this. In this regard, the system of the 16th season was ideal. There was also a skill limit, your rank was determined by your level of aiming and understanding of the game, the entrance fee at a high rank was high. Right now, all they've done is stretch out the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ system of Season 17. So in the end, everyone will still move a little towards the Master, there is no skill limit, only this season there will be fewer of them because not all people will want to grind him with such gameplay and such bonuses for this gameplay.

I am impressed. Google translate worked very well.

I still wonder, where do you all think those squads that let people advance by ratting go?

[Seraphiel]

I genuinely have no idea why they changed the Season 16 ranked system. It worked perfectly.

The grail they are trying to unravel is the mid/endgame focused matches that are close to whatever that is in tournaments, problem is, pro-players usually have a brain.

But that's the thing, in season 16 you had stupid matches up until about Plat and then from Diamond onwards you had strong consistent games with solid positioning up until the final rings.

Well, may be they want to stretch it downwards, so yk, some Joe Johnson who watched algs grinds his 50th rank and enters the realm which rewards doing the same things he saw, not a CoD branch of hotdrop ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and not goes in, does 10 rounds and drops the game.

P.S.: tbh i can only wish respawn best of luck, although they are pretty much failing at this point.

Sorry but it sounds like a skill issue. It's harder now with tighter SBMM. Before it was easy mode, bots could get Predator, it was not difficult at all. Now its more challenging we're seeing who is actually good at the game.

That's just how it is every season beginning.. it will become less tryhard after a month.

Nah, I did some games and I received 50+ points for kill assists... You earn more it seems on kills depend on your top. Top 10 first you earn no points, then your kills and assist can actually give you points, like 5-2' points it depends on 1) kills 2) assists and also 3) if someone in your team killed someone and you did nothing ...

You earn less than previously and you loose more... So you have a slower increase of points. Masters and predators will definitly climb faster than the others, because kills assists etc.. give more than previous season.

of course it is skill issue. They said - kills need to become more valueable, thats why they lowered points for everything else. But there is one problem - for top one with 7 kills + 5 asists i got +45 for kills xd. It was never so bad
