Apex Ranked is Punishing Smart Play - and Carrying Dead Weight is NOT Comp

Let's stop pretending the current Ranked system in Apex is competitive. It's not. It's a glorified endurance test for people trying to play the game correctly while constantly being shackled to teammates with zero awareness, no coordination, and a death wish for bad decisions.


This isn't just a "me" issue - it's happening to anyone trying to solo climb and play Ranked like it's actually Ranked.

 - You rotate smart, you position well, you avoid grief fights, and you play with discipline.
 - You get 3rd partied because your teammate decides to focus a team across the map while another is already riding our ...
 - You ping rotations, hold cover, scan the zone - and you still get -65 LP when they die in the open like it's their first match.

And the kicker?
You need 4+ kills and top 3 placement just to break even - because the game thinks your high MMR is high enough to be punished every time your squad fumbles.

That's not a skill issue-it's a garbage design problem.
