Ranked is feeling pretty consistent from season to season, but we will keep tuning things as needed!Create a True Measure of Skill in Apex Legends As of April 23rd we have the following distribution among players who played more than 5 hours of Ranked (versus last Series):17.54% Bronze (3.9%)27.2% Silver (29.1%)33.72% Gold (35.3%)18.82% Platinum (23.6%)2.51% Diamond (7.1%)0.2% Master & Apex Predator (0.2%)Remember that Apex Predator is simply the top 500 per platform of players in the top pool. This second split seems to have left many more players in Bronze, even when filtering out players who played less than 5 hours. But the breakdown of higher tier players is feeling like a more appropriate skill distribution.HONEST? You feel comfortable with this learning courve distribution? For real? Tons of posts here are explaining why this contradicts every single learning courve law of science with empirical science data and still, YOU FEEL HAPPY USING GAUSS distribution (which adjusts to probability and not skill) to measure a variable that has nothing to do with luck (skill is not a ranom variable).

Ranked Series SplitsWe won’t see any changes to the ranked split system. Changing maps, and the soft RP reset both performed well and kept things interesting over the whole season. As with last season, we’ll change maps around midway through the Series.

YOU SHULD BE THINKING ON THE 85% OF THE OTHER PLAYERBASE, WHICH DOES NOT STREAM ON TWITCH AND DOESN'T MAKE A LEAVING OF THIS GAME AND INSTEAD, PAYS TO KEEP IT ALIVE.NO SOLOSdo you even read this forum?????

Hey folks. Those of us who work here on Answers HQ are not the game developers, but we do read these boards and pass feedback along. As I'm sure you can imagine we get a ton of posts here every day, so we don't always have a chance to reply to feedback directly. However, even if you don't see a response from someone it doesn't mean that your feedback isn't being seen. That said, I do want to just remind everyone to stay respectful here on Answers HQ. You're welcome to share things you don't like about the game and ask for improvements, but keep it constructive. There's no need to disparage anyone. That includes your fellow AHQ posters and the game developers. The Apex Legends team is always looking to hear from the community, and they do work really hard on this game. Constructive feedback is much easier to work with, so please keep that in mind. Thanks everyone! /Kent

Your kidding me, Respawn doesn’t control the forms, it clearly says EA ANSWER HQ. Y’all stop crying as you have nothing else to do than complain. EA does read the forms and they clearly stated that solos is not well for the game. Y’all don’t read stuff because you are busy complaining.Quick Edit: They are pulling this off at home also, so the servers are not going to be the best. I think it’s funny how every word you said is wrong.ANOTHER Quick edit: I can’t take you seriously, I’m dying of laughter. You used the same phrase most of your sentences. You sound like a 6 year old kid asking “Can I have this please” with please being repeated 500 times until a long please at the end

1) Ekhm ekhm... think a little instead of spitting venom on left and right. Man, you even stated the reason to delete skull town - "I don't think so, because every single game half of the ship dropped down on skull town". I really have to explain to you how this isnt healthy for game when its focused around one small area and ignored whole other places all around map?2) Map rotation is always good since both maps are DIFFERENT. One is more focused on close combat with a lot of buildings and hiding points when other have large empty spaces for snipers. Trust me, there is A LOT of people who like different map than you. Oh no, we hit difficult topic - its matter of PREFERENCES. And these are different for everyone. What is better : coffee or tea? For me its tea. So lets delete coffee, i could life without it. Great logic, im sure a lot of people would agree <sarcasm> 🙂3) In every single competetive game it stats goes like this - most players are around silver/gold, next bronze/platinum and rest is 1% or even less. Something is wrong here with data? I dont think so. Check for example League of Legends - one of the biggest competetive game. Its pretty much the same. You landed lower than you expected? What a surprise...4) its freaking BATTLE ROYALE, not deathmatch. Your goal is to SURVIVE, not go rambo and get 40 frags per game. For that you have call of duty. If you can make it till the end of the game without fight then its good, if you can do this but also collect some fancy yellow stuff then its only better. If you see 3 squads fighting you dont have to go in and fight with all 9 people all by yourself. You can just wait till they kill each other, then step in and kill the winner who is weak after long fight and who probably goes looting corpses. Its called strategy. Shooting to everything that is moving the second you see them is rarely good option5) game never was designed for solo play. Half if not more characters would be totally useless. Heck, im pretty sure even more than half. And im also pretty sure they checked stats, figure that out and thats the reason why they dont make it permanent mode

@Dragondude1845Adding to all this, teh servers are worse every day, there are hours in which is truely impossible to play. Warping, lagging, packet loss, and no damage registering.I was waiting to play season 5 to see if I was goig to by the battle pass, and after what i've seen, I'm not aonly not spending a single penny, but also playing A LOT LESS.I'm actually making videos of all this HUGE BUGS, so they have evidence.Besides, using NetFiler i've seen that the game is mixing pleple from different servers and it gives a f**k where you are connected to. THIS IS INSANE, routing latency and lagging is completely random for everyone outside the US (like me in Europe). This may be one of the reasons why the netcode is SO disgusting, adding to the fact that servers are pure sh[i]t, balance is completely f**d up (even in ranked mode), and makes do much damn noise that if i was a Respawn programmer (I am actually but not for Respawn), I wouldn't know where to start.

@EA_KentFirst I want u to send to respawn my message:I want to say CONGRATULATIONS for the new studio, they deserve that and actually doing hard job in difficult times, Finally the devs got their own place for keeping great job and finally players will get a great gameI believe respawn will do now great job for keeping great work because they're actually working so hard in difficult time, so I believe these devs is the best devs I ever seen unlike fortnite and COD because these games did copied a lot of things from apexAnd why?BECAUSE YOUR GAME IS AWESOMEMuch love for respawn ❤❤And of course EA for supporting themThe community managers also trying to do the best for sending these awesome feedbacks and recommendations and trying to support the playersEdit: when the no registration has been in the game and I believe it's hard to fix but just say thanks for AHQ community managers and for the devs BECAUSE THEY RESPOND IT VERY FAST, they actually respond it very quickly after like 30 minutes we playing season 5SO SHOW THEM SOME RESPECTAnd RESPECT yourself and don't try to be idiot!@EA_KentPlease if u have time tell me if u send this for respawnAnd I have more recommendations ready to shareThanks!

Are You Serious?

No more skull town:
1. Really? the best place in Kings Canyon and you just remove it from the map? based on what did you do this? Analytics? I don't think so, because every single game half of the ship dropped down on skull town. EA, Respawn, What are you basing your decissons on?
Direclty from the patch notes:
1. TL;DR
  - Splits are working well. Staying with ~6 weeks of ranked play before a reset
    - Are you out of your bloody mind???????? do you even read this forum????? Do you even check your Stats??????
  - Tier and Apex Predator separation worked as intended.
  - reset gave a good incentive to keep playing.
    - WHAT????? motivation?????? I quitted playing ranked because of the TERRIBLE S**T IT IS
  - Switching maps mid season helped keep things interesting. Will persist.
    - Are you out of your bloody mind???????? do you even read this forum????? Do you even check your Stats??????
2. Series 3 Results
  Let’s quickly review our goals for Ranked and comment a bit on some of the Series 3 performance results. Ranked is feeling pretty consistent from season to season, but we will keep tuning things as needed!
  - Create a True Measure of Skill in Apex Legends
    As of April 23rd we have the following distribution among players who played more than 5 hours of Ranked (versus last Series):
    - 17.54% Bronze (3.9%)
    - 27.2% Silver (29.1%)
    - 33.72% Gold (35.3%)
    - 18.82% Platinum (23.6%)
    - 2.51% Diamond (7.1%)
    - 0.2% Master & Apex Predator (0.2%)
      Remember that Apex Predator is simply the top 500 per platform of players in the top pool. This second split seems to have left many more players in Bronze, even when filtering out players who played less than 5 hours. But the breakdown of higher tier players is feeling like a more appropriate skill distribution.

EXACTLY THE SAME UNSTABLE SERVERS
1. what can i say about this that i haven't said before...

To say the last, I used to believe Apex Legends was the best FPS game in history, honest, in season 1 everything felt SO RIGHT. I really wish you could be up to the game you created, that you were listening not to 5 or 10 mainsrtam players but all of us.

I too am extremely dissapointed in apex. 15 months to get through 4 seasons. I was patient with the dev's until now. They did have a great thing going and now I believe it is dying.
I would like to know what kind of setup these developers use for their job, because it must be hard to get the monitor inside their own *, along with their heads

You could have the best FPS game and the worst people workin on it, it will always be the worst & dirty game of the history. It is so obviously easy to ruin all that it was built before and these people seem to do it very well or witfully well... Sadness but players will mourn it with the next FPS generation as they always do.

@EA_Kent

First I want u to send to respawn my message:

I want to say CONGRATULATIONS for the new studio, they deserve that and actually doing hard job in difficult times, Finally the devs got their own place for keeping great job and finally players will get a great game

I believe respawn will do now great job for keeping great work because they're actually working so hard in difficult time, so I believe these devs is the best devs I ever seen unlike fortnite and COD because these games did copied a lot of things from apex

And why?

BECAUSE YOUR GAME IS AWESOME

Much love for respawn ❤❤

And of course EA for supporting them

The community managers also trying to do the best for sending these awesome feedbacks and recommendations and trying to support the players
Edit: when the no registration has been in the game and I believe it's hard to fix but just say thanks for AHQ community managers and for the devs BECAUSE THEY RESPOND IT VERY FAST, they actually respond it very quickly after like 30 minutes we playing season 5

SO SHOW THEM SOME RESPECT

And RESPECT yourself and don't try to be idiot!

@EA_KentPlease if u have time tell me if u send this for respawn

And I have more recommendations ready to share

Thanks!

@ReyleenKovacs Skull town it was a cool place, but many people complained that they died within seconds of landing. At least there was some shelter, and right now it's just an open space for snipers and the invasion from everywhere is brutal. But soon we return to rotation mode so everything will be fine.

You want to kill the way weak players and campers get Diamond?
• Points only for kills
• Points only for top 5.
Make ranked games harder and there will be a result.

So, you want a SOLO?
• Why? aren't you good enough to kill 1 person? You knock him but his teammates kill you???
• You want 20 kills badge and 4k damage???
• You're tired of noob players because of SBMM?
I feel your pain but let's imagine that they add "SOLO" and seconds after you landed 2-3-4-5 diamonds/predators melt you!
What are you going to do?
- You will come here and complain that the game mixes you with players of your caliber.

I will not comment on the servers, because the European servers are full of players who are very, very, veryyyy far from Europe.
