Apex Competitive

If you’re going to be a smarta**, don’t even bother replying.**************

Anywho,

the way competitive is set up on Apex Legends doesn’t make sense. I’ve learned it the hard way on multiple games... Overwatch, Fortnite, Call of Duty, Battle Field especially etc... you have to fight to get better. Climbed in tournaments here and there, climbed tiers, it was actually challenging, it was hard, it took practice.

But here’s Apex:

1 pointper kill 5 MAX

Entry fee goes up 1 per league bronze being free

Top 10/5/3 2-4-7 points 12 Champion

120 Sil/ 280 Gold/ 480 Plat/ 720 Diamond/ 1000 predator

Let me start with Survival.

Top 10-

*****Gurantees at least Gold

Top 5-

*****Gurantees at least Diamond (this isnalready enougj for most players)

Right about here you’re basically at the top. Unless you’re shooting for Apex Predator assuming you want to grind 280 points with a 4-5 entry fee and having to survive top 3 every game minimum or having 5 kills and making only top 10 to continuously rise, that’s just it.

now with Diamond just being time consuming, what exactly qualifies as “similarly skilled?” The only thing similar is just being in the league.

In my eyes, and I’m sure I’m not alone here, a team that tactically moves is not the same as one that avoids confrontation. One that uses cover and one that doesn’t want to fight in a shooting game are not similar whatsoever. But there they are. Why? The system is flawed.

It promotes not participating at all (I’m not going to call it passive because even passive players try) to get points. Which can essentially get you Diamond rank rewards anyway hence making it, basically insignificant and not really an accomplishment as much as it is a waste of time. If i was in the Apex Predator margin, I would not want it to be a pointless achievement that everyone is capable of getting, yet it seems that way. Now that’s the only rank you’re literally forced to try an get. The others you can be as passive and harmless as anything you can think of and still get it.

So, why not promote fighting while still rewarding players for doing their best like they intended to anyway? Reward players for doing damage instead of strictly kills? Some go for scraps, some steal kills, other teams may even steal kills etc...

Survival being at least lowered because 4 points for surviving? Plus my kills, there’s literally no need for me to bust my *ss for a win.

entry fees? Words cannot describe how easy it was to get out of gold. And apparently that’s “high”

A cap on kills? This one kinda bugs me the most. If this is suppose to gather the most highly skilled players in a highly skilled rank, why is the kill cap  5? I never understood that. I mean, if a team gets their cap, why would they attempt to fight others? They could just hide out the rest of the game and demolish the last team. I’ve seen a ridiculous amount of things take place but I feel like the way it’s set up either doesn’t make sense or gather people of the same skill. Or just both...

i could be wrong but what do you guys think?

i get its supposed to give people a chance but if it’s meant to put you in the same skill bracket as someone else I’d be kinda insulted to be compared to teams who haven’t gotten a kill in the last 20 matches.

I wouldn’t actually be insulted but come on. If you say it’s going to put me against similarly skilled players I want a challenge.
