@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.

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.
