@Arosial I don't get how their solution to being shoved into a pred lobby or getting litteral bots in ranked was to "allow anyone to play with anyone".
First, they made our ranks not matter. So, you can be bronze, but diamond level, gold, but pred level, pred, but rookie level, etc., and by allowing anyone to play with anyone, they're making ranks not matter even further.
The whole point of not being able to play with diamond and up players while you're gold and below, is so you weren't curb stomped as hard. Yet, they allow players, (mainly pros), smurf and destroy lower lobbies, and constantly match you against diamond and up players while you're trying to get into games of your same rank.
This whole thing makes me think they're using EOMM more and more. Ranked used to be around your skill level, then they allowed players to rat more in S17, which diluted the skill distribution of players. You have some preds hardstuck plat, because the matchmaking is so awful.
They might as well take out rank if our skills and rank means nothing at all.
Are they planning to rename the game mode?
It wouldn't make sense to call it "Ranked" if that's the case. How are you supposed to really determine your skill ceiling this way?
They have no idea what they are doing, anyone claiming that Apex has a ranked gamemode are entirely wrong. Competetive ranked play does not exists in this game just remove it.
