Ranked seems broken for bad players

I have the opposite problem to a lot of the other people posting here. I'm bad at Apex (415 games, average damage of 130.29!) - but I enjoy playing it any time I can get matched against other simila...

IMO this is an intrinsic flaw with the BR genre; what is fun (fighting) is not what is successful (surviving).

The RP reward system is necessarily weighted towards the latter, which inevitably means those who play intelligently (to survive) will rank up to the point where the fun aspect of the game (the fighting) becomes impossible.

So don't feel bad; this effects all players, not just those lower down the skill track.

As to what Respawn can do to rectify it, I've no idea; they've clearly put some effort into the problem;

- the current respawn system

- the Halloween event

- the automatic respawning after each ring closure 2-day event

They're all attempts to mitigate the downside of fighting; the fun aspect of the game.

fighting is successful if you win, cause you get way higher boost of RP surviving is good up till around diamond. sure its BR flawl, but thats the point, games like overwatch has its flawls as well ranked will never be flawless. I bet you can't name a game with a perfect ranked system. unlike Overwatch, apex forces you to get better or keep getting stomped, there is very little room for participation awards when u hit diamond or even higher plat. u have to play hard.
