PC player here and I agree on many points with couple exceptions..=)
- Ring damage is great! It is way better than before. You are unable to hang outside the ring and it's no longer a tactic what you can use for advantage.
- Ranked points is not that bad. If you are good player (and if you are lucky to have good friends/good players to play with) you will rise in ranks. That is 100% sure thing. My estimate is that most of the players who solo que will end up on gold/platinum and if you want to go diamond/predator then you definitely need to have premade team and you have to be good player overall.
Why there is so much anger and frustration concerning the rank system? I think it's because players feel they are having greater skills what they actually posses. Sure you are starting to get pissed when you are envisioning for diamond or even predator rank but you are stuck in gold. It is only natural to find problems all around but not in our own skills ( not saying I am any better. Still working on with my mindset).

Then to complaints. Hope this is somewhat constructive.
EA / Respawn should really make something to their servers and network issues. I don't want to even try to rank up when I get like 5/10 games drop ratio and if I try to play with friends then the error rate is even higher. This is also why I don't buy battle pass since I really can't play the game like I would want to. Don't want to spend money on product that does not compute.
Sound issues are also really really bad. I have tried like all the things that I can find from forums and so forth but still I don't get the sounds working properly. Laggin and missing sounds in every single game. If you ask me the sounds are pretty important in this game.

Upgrades / Suggestions
Reconnect feature. even if you drop your banner could be picked up and if you are able to reconnect then you could be revived.
LAN-mode. Would be so nice to play this game with friends in LAN.
@MassiveVernon the third zone shouldn’t hit for 10-15 damage since it’s still relatively big. I just thought it was crazy haven’t played because I quit after the crashing and unbalance issues, but to die from 3rd zone after fighting a team holding us out, and dying from it is crazy.
You definetly have good points there. It can be frustrating to fight on the edge and then have success on multiple fights and then just melt in the closing ring. This could be tweaked for just making the ring damage smaller or perhaps you could add layer to ring? Like so that in the first 10-30meters ring is havign small damage and depending how deep you are the damage is rising..or then your shields would burn down first and then health..dunno what could be the most ideal solution to please the whole player base. 💪
About points contribution. I cant deny fact that your notes how game have changed is spot on. It is way more cautios and players are really tying to survive longer and 3rd party even more in gun fights. Perhaps there could be more revarding early game or kill points? 1,5points per kill and you could have more points if you manage to wipe more than 5 opponents down?
In the end..lets keep positive and talk about these issues and keep up the suport so APEX can have at least good posibility ti grow and evolve into greater game.
