So excited to play new update, however...
ED was stated to be the first ranked map so why are we playing? They're doing very well with the updates. However, I think having Kings Canyon is very disappointing. I also hope they fine tune ranke...

The problem was not entirely S17, it was the combination with S18 (which was the best ranked season imho).
Fake Master players thought they would just rock it again and were presented with a hard task climbing even out of Silver, thus they abandoned the game.
Since then kills got more weight by the season, and as a result they have perverted the battle royal into smth nobody likes anymore , especially due to the new TTK.
But thats a typical Respawn thought process, the original Devs would have never let it come that far ... it has a reason why most of them jumped ship and you can feel that since Season 6 ...
But hey, they are listening to "us" , thats why we got that stupid TTK, no fundamental changes to the Matchmaking, no inputbased lobbies, no quality server code, cheaters on end, ect.
i took a look at the latest numbers from apex.tracker.gg, and it looks horrible.
Last Split the numbers went up from 500K to a 1 Mio players, due to the new season and the "promised" updates.
Roughly 25% of the Ranked Playerbase finished the split in Diamond and above and most of them got reset into plat for this split.
Now take a look at the new chart :
around 600K of mostly rookie to gold players dont play this split ...
Thank you Respawn, you really listened to what the Players wanted ...
