Not a Fan of New Ranked System

Hello, I've been playing Apex sense the beginning and can honestly say this is an amazing game and I want to strive to keep it amazing as I've recently lost interest with the new ranked system. 

I've been able to reach Diamond 2 in the past and it was a great achievement for me (ie: it felt good). However, with the new ranked system I can reach masters with little effort - I can then troll for 3 games in masters and gain the lossed lp back by ratting for 1 game.

To me, this ranked system change makes me hitting masters feel dull as I believe anyone can do it with enough time played. It has been turned into a participation trophy and it does not feel good.

Maybe we can instead keep the change of matching players of equal skill level, but also make it so it still feels rewarding to hit a higher prestige by bringing back the old entry costs. I also don't like the argument of "well its a battle royale those that stay alive should be rewarded more" - being a battle royal can be a guideline, but your main goal (in my opinion) should be to keep the game fun, and the fun dropped for me this season. Please consider making it harder to reach higher prestige again.

Thanks for reading.

  • @Dwel1er yes it was too easy.

    My take on necessary changes needed would be to leave it the way it is for rookie to gold.

    Then decrease the placement points awarded for plat and increase the kill points for plat. 

    Then decrease placement points awarded again for diamond, but maintaing top 10 pp and again increase the kill points for diamond. 

    Then massively decrease placement points awarded for masters,  maby drop to top 7 pp and again  increasing the kill points, making pred a truly hard place to get to. 

    Then I would only give pred status out at the end of the season, as an end of season award.

    I wouldn't change the current lobby setup, as being cannon fodder for 3 stack masters and preds in solo diamond IV was not fun.

    No change to bus fare.
