State of Apex Ranked

How is it when you get to Diamond, you instantly get drop zone every game.

It is near impossible to gain rp when you get put in areas with no loot or when you are getting pushed by 3-5 different squads who are in main poi's next to you. There is no way to have a equal or positive chance of winning or gaining rp when every game is drop zone. Side note for drop zones, being dropped in certain areas on certain maps where there is no loot is diabolical, Mabey 2-4 bins for a 3-man squad and if you're lucky like 90% of the other players you get put in a good poi and get a care package drop in your poi.

I feel Masters to Pred should be drop zone not silver to diamond. 

Then the next main problem you run into is cheaters and people who are pred in plat and diamond lobbies. Don't get me wrong, you have to get better so you can win the fights... But 90% of the time you get sandwiched in-between 3 teams that you can't win against. The cheating on the other is probably the worst I have seen it. In a span of 50 games Plat to diamond games. more than 1/4 of the people in the match is using a Zim or some sort of cheat or thing to give them better aim movement or just all of the above.

I think one of the other big problems is the ping on Australian servers or not even being able to find a match or play one cause every time you get in one there is only 5-10 players on queue.

Tell me if i am wrong but how is drop zone supposed to work in ranked if you are always being put in a position you can't win or do anything about. makes the grind to pred or even masters so much more difficult.

    Loot can be fixed. I have the same opinion about ED. ED has 3 bad POIs at east side waiting for bully from every directions. WE is better because it has been modified many times. They surely have plan for map update but right now some maps are poorly designed for drop zone.

    I would prefer temporary upgrade to those bad POIs, like adding a Mirage's ship. They can also reduce the chance to get low grade of POI everytime. It doesn't feel random sometimes. Getting the same poor POI for 4 games consecutively is frustrating to everyone. Maybe set a score for POIs. Give people a better chance to get a rich POI after a game of the worst POI.
