My opinions on the Season 13 ranked mechanism

I'm an Apex player from day 1, and have played through all the seasons. For most of the time, I solo queue; sometimes I duo with a friend; but I almost never got a full squad to start with. I buy every heirloom and make it to diamond just to get the sky-dive tail at the end of every season. That's the background.

1) Before Season 13, I think the ranked games are bad only because of the matchmaking system. It always gets me teammates who are way worse than me, like if I'm gold it gets me silver teammates, if I'm platinum it gets me gold ones, just worse seems to be a must. I don't think giving them better gaming experiences on the cost of my gaming experience is fair at all.

Plus maybe because I play on Japan servers I always get teammate who avoid fights until top 5 or even top 3 or 2, especially when I solo queue. Sometimes I get into a fight and my teammates just walk away.

I always thought this should be fixed and it's not that hard. You can tell by data how good players (kills per game, damage per game, accuracy, time-to-kill, etc.) are and whether they want to fight in early stage of the game (whether or not dropping with other squads, fighting frequency before getting wiped out, length of time with no damage, length of time staying still, etc.). These stats are not hard to collect, some even already collected. For soloers, just make sure they get similar teammates, they'd have much less problems with how they're gonna play the game, because they share similar playing styles.

As I read in Season 13 ranked was gonna get fixed, I was so grateful thinking they finally gonna do something about it.

2) So as I played Season 13, I'm totally disappointed. The RP system is totally trash. I mean do the designers of this system even play this game? Or are they just those who only fight in last minutes? I remember when I was silver I or II, I land, I get 3 kills, I get wiped out by another team, and BOOM I get -33 RPs, WTF???? Am I supposed to just hide until top 5 and get 1 or 2 kills with charge rifle and get 100+ RPs? Is this how you decide who should rank up? Way too stupid design, totally brainless.

Plus the matchmaking system is not fixed at all! I was diamond III finishing last season so I started with silver II this season, and I've been getting bronze IV teammates for like TWO DAYS. They land in remote areas, pick up charge rifles but still can't land a shot with over 50 dmg, avoid fights, walk away from me and leave me die (even though they are Crypto), noob as fxxk but abuses me because I have a Chinese name, and they sometimes can't even slide properly and escape to a corner to get wiped without even pulling his gun out.

I mean… Respawn devs, why do you do this? You made such a wonderful game, the new legend is fun to play, but why you just can't get ranked right? It's okay if I'm just an exception, one of the few people who are still complaining but it's not. Seems to me almost everybody has a problem with this, so long as we are not pros who easily land 4k dmg and 20 kills. I enter a gold game and it's already full of diamond and master sky-dive tails. Everybody has a problem ranking up. And we're not streamers who have all day and every day, how long do you expect us to play until we can get to diamond as we used to be?

Play fix the ranked mechanism that's all I'm saying. The RP system, the matchmaking, as I mentioned the solution is really easy. Please don't encourage hiding in your FPS BR game, and let players with similar playing styles team up so they don't lose the game and hate each other. Thank you.
