Apex is fun but ranked isn't

Unless you are Itz_Timmy, you can't hotdrop, you can't drop on multiple squads, it's not worth, you can kill 2 squads it doesn't matter you die before half squads remain you still lose ton of RP, in...

@damsonwhufndthis Nonsense. If you're legitimately good you'll advance to your natural rank even if you get unlucky with a poorly timed 5th party. Unless you're highly skilled and dumb you'll advance.

I do agree that ranked needs tweaking though. Rewarding pure kills is foolish but players that hide shouldn't be able to rack up the points either. I'd like it if they added a feature that gave something for the players to fight for in game.

Different points on the map that can be taken in a king of the hill style mini-game maybe? You win and you gain RP and maybe a small advantage towards winning the game?

I'd also like it if placement gives you nothing unless you have kills or squad wipes credited towards your team.

@heme725in solo squad with players that climbed the ranks by surviving? against coordinated stack? yeah perhaps slowly

  @damsonwhufndthis Depends on how good the player is and how high you expect them to climb. I haven't been playing as often as before but I'd expect Pred level players to at least make Platinum on their own. I personally feel that your rank as a solo climber is your "true" rank but obviously you'll go further as a triple stack.
  Of course that wasn't my main point. I hate that you can rank up to a certain point by just surviving and I want them to change the system without over valuing kills.

  @damsonwhufndthis Welcome back, friend! This is definitely the username I recognize, Lol
  
  Personally, I haven't really touched ranked since the changes at the start of S13, or whenever that was. I was hopeful about the changes before they rolled out, but it didn't lead to a more positive experience for me, so I am just waiting on another ranked rework, before I try it again. I've just been playing pubs, and mostly grinding in Arenas this season for challenges, because my playtime has dwindled in recent months.

    Ranked is dead since Season 13
