I dont like new ranking system

grabs a beer and enjoys what he predicted ! Cheers Mates !

it’s so bad. rewarding rats more than people who get 5 kills off the bat??? ok

I give Respawn two weeks. Reworked ranked will be reworked again.

Yes, I totally agree.
During season 12 I managed with a lot of effort to pass Diamond. But for season 13 the costs are totally abused, you have to be a real machine to move forward properly.

Respawn forgot that we are for a majority of casual players, we can't all spend 8 hours a day on the game.

I'm really disappointed with this new system which only benefits pro players. 

Its good for people who want to play the game like the pros, because it rewards good positioning over everything else. However for solos and casuals, it does not reward aggression or early game outplays. On top of that, they chose storm point as a map for this, which is the largest map with too few good POIs. It has potential to be good, but rewarding ONLY late game play is not the move Respawn.

I finished gold 3 last season. This season I got put back into bronze 4 but to my surprise, the matchmaking was completely unbalanced. I saw a consistent ammount of people with diamond badges in my lobbies. The reason for that is that diamonds were put by default in gold this season, and since gold and bronzes can queue together, you understand how bad that becomes. 

I think there is a lack of communication between the devs and the actual playerbase. Most players don't want to play Apex like the pros, they simply want an action packed experience where losing in not as punishing as it is in other games with ranked modes. 

If it was 5KP at 14+ and 8KP at 11-13 it would be a completely different story.

Then high aggression at the start would still be risky, but viable in lower ranks.

And at higher ranks 5KP is too little to bet on. Getting 3 squad wipes then only rewards 45RP, enough up to gold 2. Allowing aggressive plays to be risky but potentially rewarding.

Getting to Diamond in Season 12 was the easiest it had been ever. It was easy in Season 11. But even more so in Season 12. In fact it was so easy even as a Solo player that I stopped playing ranked as soon as i hit Diamond with over 30 days left.

I was Diamond 2 in Season 5, and that was hard work for me, but was also fun.

In Season 11 I got to Diamond 1 without much effort, had not enought time for master. But when my 43 Years old self almost got master its definitely to easy...

Good decision to make ranked about winning games again! 

P.S.: I had to look it up. It used to be that you are under the best 3% in the game when you reached diamond. Now you have almost 5% Master player...

Rank will only be fun in a 3-man premade squad but a total nightmare as solo. Also, it also meant an indirect nerf to all "aggressive fighting legends" like Octane, Pathfinder, Wraith, Mirage. I predict that Diamond+ lobbies will be dominated by squads of one Valkyries for the rotation power + two camping/hold position legends like Caustic, Gibbe, Watson, Newcastle etc. I also predict that Diamond+ lobbies literally will be 20 squads avoiding fights at all cost until Round3 where 80% of the lobby dies at the same time when the circle starts to move and forces everyone to fight.
