bring back POI-dropship to ranked, S13 split 1 ranked system

There is no difference in how pubs and ranked play out. Same thing. Ranked is supposed to be competitive, supposed to be hard. There's plenty of gamemodes in the game for casuals to play. Regular pubs, wildcard. Where is that competitive gamemode for people who wanna really improve at the game, and play a game something similar to pro Apex, ALGS? Yes, "casuals" won't like it at the beginning if ranked actually becomes hard again. But the longterm gain will be MASSIVE. With a good ranked system that will be content enough for people. And not how it is now when every gamemode is for casuals, where new maps, guns and legends are content that is necessary to keep them interested in the game. There isn't anything in the game for the really dedicated Apex players, something worth grinding for. And truth be told there isn't anything saying casuals don't like comp gamemodes. I mean, Counterstrike is a living proof of that. Valorant is proof of that, Marvel Rivals, League of Legends! Both casuals and die hard Apex players are in agreement that they want a good ranked mode. Please make an actual serious effort, an longterm effort (and not a revert after one split a la S13) in making a good ranked mode in Apex Legends.

  • I quit playing today. I’m beyond done with this development staff just not caring what we want.  
    If the only thing that they care about player attention, then I’m simply not turning the game on until they update ranked. 

    The dropship was the only thing holding ranked together. 

    Now that it’s gone, it is an absolute disaster. It is just as bad as pubs

    This is how you feel, but it doesn't help me understand why preset drops are harder than jump masters. I would have said that just the opposite is true. In my experience of last season I always felt like my preset drop was the developer trying to spoon feed people easier starts because the frustration of congested drops is too much for a lot of players who want to solo queue a ranked mode, and who want the match to be a series of 3v3 engagements instead of the more random (and honest) pile up  engagements that are an inescapable feature of multi-team battle royale. To me it's not supposed to be a series of playoff scrums. It's supposed to be chaotic, as it has always been. And players, if they care too, are supposed to learn how to manage the chaos. And not always by trying to shoot their way through it. That's a skill set that preset drops completely removed from the game, imo. To the its detriment.

    I agree 100%. As someone that solo queues constantly, I absolutely HATE having to depend on some random people in a hot drop. I don't even want to play anymore tbh.
