Apex ranked rework SUCKS
The new rework is insanely bad. I was gold last season and climbing, now I cant even gain 1 RP in bronze 4. The game now expects an unreasonable amount of teamwork from rando players, punishes going...

The objective of this game is die later then the others... not only kill the others... if you and your team managed to go negative in Bronze IV with 6 kills.. you probably died in a 14+ position... it's natural you get negative.
I reached Master last season, and also with the old system the only way to get points at high levels were to get a good placement... kills weren't enough.
I think the new system is better because it show the real skill of a player... if you want to go back to Gold, you should learn how to rotate effectively. In the old system, anyone who played enough could reach Platinum IV... and with a little skill also Diamond was possible. Now those ranks are more worthy to reach.

I totally get what you're saying here, but this rework just makes the game less fun for most players.
In bronze it was effective enough to get a few kills and you would slowly climb, then it would gradually make you play better to continue climbing. I don't think you should have to know rotations, have solid aim, and be able to coordinate a team in bronze to be able to gain even 1 RP. Not every rank should force out masters gameplay because its unrealistic, and like @Asmodeus566 said, time consuming.
I worry this new ranked will scare away new players because its extremely punishing at low ranks. Like its scaring away me... 😂 We will see once the lobbies are fairer in a week or so, but I have doubts.

Welcome to the forum. Nice Post.
Yes the new ranked system might be a turn off for new players but that is what the rookie rank is there for, to learn.
I do agree that the costs at Bronze should not be as punishing as they are right now for that matter silver also but by gold and above it should be harder just not as hard as EA has made it.
If I had the time it would not bother me because the skills are there but EA has made so that Time = Rank and well while some do not have the time.
All in all I feel that as it is right now EA is rewarding Apex players that have the time more than those that have skills in Ranked play.
You kids are missing 2 major plot holes here!
- Apex Legends hasn't dealt with the cheating problem, so if you think you have solid aim no recoil son your cheating
- Premade lobbies and Smurfs accounts are making this game so unfair. Hah there's no fun in Norms anymore
This new season was catered to the twitch streamers for obviously reasons. Most of them still cheat even with premade lobbies!
So since i have no time & patience & no solo queue, already decide to hang them up.
Obviously if you all have wife/kids and work. Guarantee you don't have the time to play all day. So spitting nonsense if you have all that and still get to Masters! I called those players living with folks still & unhealthily way of life.
An reasonable responsible Adult like myself would hanged them up I'm over 30+ My Game now is Eldern Ring starting to get the hang of it! ><
- @Lordvasilexx Are you saying most twitch streamers cheat?
- @Angelddddfffvcdf in this season i started Gold II
i managed to have time to play 10 games since the start of the season... now i'm 200pts to PlatIV... i don't think this is time consuming 3 full day passed... it's 3/4 games per day... plus some warm up in duo (1 or 2 games), i understand that still there is a big component of "how much you can play".. i also had this problem.. to make the master i decided to play the last split more than usual.. and got it with 400~ games, there is still this problem.. but it's not different from before... they just changed the name of the divisions... the old diamond is probably platinum now.. also the new game play is more Tournament like... i played some ALGS games.. and ranked now feels the same..as it should be.We want solos, they give us Streamer mode ranked.
