this mode is awful most player just camp and spam sniping to get free kill and 3rd 4rd 5th party tactic.
Remove it and improve ur normal mode like make new player play eatch other insted to make them play with high lvl player
@xMaxrayx Ranked Leagues is a good feature for players who want to stand out in the Apex Games. Yes, it could be changed in that they don't reset ranks so Apex Predators stay as Apex Predators unless moved down a rank, just so new players in Bronze don't face level 500 players who don't play Ranked. But overall, it's a good feature.

Got my vote. Ranked should have never been added in the first place. It creates even more services for people selling accounts and/or cheats for boosting. It splits the community with people thinking someone is good because they might have a high level banner or * trail when they fall. I still think it's funny they added a ranked mode to an RNG mode. It means nothing to be ranked in a BR, I'm not sure Respawn understands that.
I also think the 3rd party will just keep going on. I think that because of how they keep adding buildings closer to each other. Season 1 was by far better than it is now, like 400%.

Not in my opinion. First the concept of BR is from a movie called "Battle Royale". You kill each other to be the last person standing. Ranked mode doesn't work in the mode at all. What are you ranked of, the best at finding random RNG loot / items? I want to be more clear on this. Having a Ranked mode for an RNG game is like saying you're the best at playing the lottery.
Sidenote Ranked also directly creates biased feedback towards public Apex. People who spend their time in Ranked will give feedback towards items that let them (camp) play ranked better, not to move around and/or shoot people. Wattson, Crypto, Casutic, are directly made with this mindset. Shoot, i want to bet that Respawn noticed that everyone was holding doors in these $100k games, that they designed Loba around it. Without taking into account what this creates for the people who don't play ranked.
I also think people are about to get 3rd partied a lot more because of Loba. The ult makes people not move around to get loot. If you don't need to move to loot, you're going to move from a location faster to go shoot at people.
Even the streamers that EA pay to show off new stuff make fun of the ranked mode in Apex. Ranked means nothing, and i mean nothing in Apex. All it's doing is creating false feedback for people who camp in money prize games, that's it.
Getting rid of ranked and improving the sbmm in their regular mode would probably help to have more balanced matches. So instead of splitting the high level people up between two game types and then having to bring low level people in to fill the gaps in matches it would make it so the high level people could only really play against each other. Right now with ranked, trios, and duos all dividing the player base up on an already divided player base from what platform you play on makes it almost impossible to have balanced matches that are actually enjoyable. So if they added cross play and got rid of ranked and then improved sbmm. It would probably be way more fun for the majority of players.

You say that ranked in a game with RNG elements means nothing yet 50% of all the posts on this forum are people complaining how Masters and Predators ruin their matches in the forever ongoing river of salty tears that is the threads about the "broken SBMM" =)...
I guess that would be true if players generally only played "a few" games but since we play "many" games, the RNG factor is eliminated. After "many" matches, the RNG of the game stays constant whereas the skill of the players playing the game differs, at least from like Platinum and higher, but that has to do with a poorly designed rank system where the RP entry costs in relation to possible RP gains is too low in the lower divisions.
In other words; you dont become Master, Pred or even Diamond if you arent good so rank means something.
@Babbediboopi
I stand by my opinion. Ranked is 100% useless. It's an online first person shooter, someone will always win. Also, i wouldn't expect more than 1k people use this forum for Apex, it could be even lower, not sure. With the amount of replies on the top topics and the amount of new messages you would think it's very low. So people talking about SBMM here wouldn't matter at all.
Also a sidenote, This whole SBMM thing was in S1 and no one had an issue (mostly). Once ranked came out it split the game so many times people started to notice it. Also Ranked creates another issue called boosting and/or cheating services. People selling and/or trying to sell accounts that are boosted. Just gives a person another reason to use cheats. I'm fine for consoles to keep ranked as most are causals there anyways, but on PC, something needs to be done.
"In other words; you dont become Master, Pred or even Diamond if you arent good so rank means something." It might to the person, that's there opinion, to me it's useless. I don't see nameplates or ranks while i'm shooting people in the face at all, and i'm damn good at it.
If you really want a good example how much ranked means, let me drop and get a R99 and use a controller with aim assist on PC at 144 FPS. That's a very quick lobby screen right there lol.
