Apex Ranked
Apex Ranked definitely shouldn’t be easy by no means. However, it’s supposed to be skill based match making right ? Yet! It’s such a large skill gap in one lobby. I’m constantly dying to triple stacked apex predator teams, master and diamonds as a silver rank.
My suggestion is it should be based on actual skill maybe Wins vs Loss percentages or Kill vs death percentage algorithm? Maybe even actually past and present rank achievements? A player who’s consistently ranked diamond or higher should be in a much harder lobby than someone who’s achieved it just once or twice.
Additionally I feel maybe when match making in a party it should scale based on the average skill level between all three players not just the host. Maybe? Even though it wouldn’t work if we can’t control these smurf players as reporting them doesn’t seem to work out very well.
I’m an average player at best maybe even labeled as trash or garbage yet I still enjoy playing competitively and there are thousands just like me. However, maybe with a new innovative match making rank algorithm it will give those who crave the highly skilled comp what they desire while give us at the bottom the same but with a chance to also be on the top in our deserved rank.
I can’t stress enough how vital and important it is that we do something about players who are Diamond through Pred ranked and get bored then smurf on new accounts. It hinders the joy out of playing competitively when you’re unfairly outmatched. I’m not suggesting another Season 17 repeat. Just no potential changes or updates will matter if can’t get a handle on these smurfs.
Lastly please bring back season 27s drop system. People are starting to treat ranked like it’s a pub lobby and you’ll have 10 teams hot drop which is crazy. The amount of sweats this season is insane.
Thank you for your time :)
