Apex Needs Ranked and here's why:
So Fortnite keeps people interested by putting ungodly amounts of new things in the game, which is good and fun, but its doesnt draw me in to keep playing the game. What i want for Apex is something, other than cosmetics to keep me coming back.
Ranking system. I know there are rumors of data mined ranked playlist but here is what i hope for ranked and i think would be THE most fun, competitive, and intuitive way to handle ranked in a battle royale.
1. Not a full lobby of ranked teams/players. First off, Apex has a feeling unlike any other battle royale where it almost feels as if you are playing a team deathmatch in some fps game. So having a team vs team going into either the same game or completely separate games would be more practical.
- this would mean that you would need a lobby to be able to connect 2 different party sets that at the end of the game(s) cross and compare the stats of the 2 opposing sides to determine the winner.
2. The idea is that it would seemingly eliminate some of the rng that battle royales have naturally and that it would be more fun/fast paced/ high octane than playing it safe and hoping for win. Kill dependency in battle royales is not only better as for a gaming experience but also as a spectator in my personal opinion.
- The rng that i believe it would help eliminate is pretty simple, if youre in a lobby full of great players, one lands and gets purple armor and a peace keeper. You land and get a inhalator with white armor. Theres a big advantage for that players to roll on and do well the rest of the game.
3. If the lobbies are implemented. You wont have to deal with the slow/ugly game play that comes from other battle royales because they want that W soo badly.
4. This would also be great for 3rd party sources such as UMG and CMG to really be able to have a definite standard of competition, provided that you are able to invite players to a versus lobby.
- the odd man out system is no way to play, especially for money. Going around trying to solo and steal your teammates kills is just not fun to watch or play in my honest opinion.
5. Solos would invetiably be in a lobby of all other solos, so if this is where you want to play slow methodical, this is the place to do it.
6. Until i see a custom lobby with up to 80 people being implemented, i just think this would be the most fun and exciting way to play ranked. Also unlike anyone else's.
7. lastly, I would love to see end of season tournaments with lets say top the 500 players in solos, duos, and trios.
- Also REWARD your players for reaching a certain rank. People complain about this in every game but no one seems to take notice.
- and if there is ever a pro league, i feel the pro league players should not be aloud to play in these end of season tournaments. Reason being is that this way players who are not noticed may be able to become noticed.
I would love anyone feedback or acknowledgement. I truly think this is the route Apex needs to go in or to keep a fresh and appealing game. Inherently i believe Battle royales are the least competitive games for the followings they have. RNG is the reason why. Especially in Fortnite because even a majority of the weapons have rng... ... .. With that being said I think this is the best BR yet for me personally. I deem that in terms of what is the most fun based on what is the most competitive by nature.
Ive gamed and competed for a long time starting with Halo, so i believe that i have the nose for these trypes of things. If anyone would want to contact me to tell me why im wrong or to just talk ideas thats not on the forum. Here's my twitter.
