Change Ranked progression.

We need a more balanced system, facing predator badge players every game and literally getting chased down every game by said team is annoying. For instance having a dedicated ranked mode for ex pre...

Shooters with good sbmm will make you feel like you're often being fed to better players. Shooters with bad sbmm, no party restrictions, and an adherence to 30 second wait times no matter the consequences, will make you feel like you're ALWAYS being fed to better players. Cheaters don't help. Smurfs help even less.

In the end it's a food chain. It's literally in the title. It's in the rank names. It's brutal, it's reductionist, and it's unsatisfying. And I just keep coming back for more day after day as if I don't know better. Thank the Apex gods for bot royale.

    The thing is 99% of the time ex-Predators will regain their position, which is exactly why I believe they should be in an entire separate system.

    How is it a good SBMM if you’re being placed with predators who are climbing the ranks, when you know as well as I do, you’d never face them under any circumstances, because most normal players aren’t skilled enough to reach predator, but the issue with it is, you can have a decent game then all a sudden you get three man rushed, wham bam, thank you ma’am without a single chance.

    spectate to fine it’s a triple stack predator team basically, all have 3 pred badges etc.

    If anyone thinks this rank system works when those players should be in a whole different category/league and not with normal players.

    if you got pred last season, why should you be allowed to grind through all the lesser skilled players?

      I also think there is no middle ground for ranked right now. I enjoy it up till diamond. I reached diamond in 70games and 2,56KD while only soloQ

      After that it's basically unplayable. Threestacks jumping on me with shotguns, calling out every bit of damage they do.... just not fun.

      Wish it was different. I will not bang my head into wall just to hit masters. It's useless if i don't enjoy it.

        In plats and literally faced the number 1, number 2 and number 4 current predators today.

        Now if personally, if this happens your entry fee should be like knocked down to accommodate the lobby.

        it was a straight up loss, waiting to happen which even my team mates already typed ‘GG’ in chat before we had even dropped.
