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...

@nwevolution So doing the easy thing = more skill?

@Abyssloli Work smarter not harder.
Sweat and stress for lots of KP and minus RP can be argued as skillful but is dumb.
Where is the skill in gaining minus points.
Balancing that out with placement is a skill and is not necessarily easier but is undeniably smarter.
The goal of Ranked play is to gain RP not lose RP regardless of ones gun skills or lack thereof.
Basically I see it as if one is a killing machine and losing RP or barely gaining RP they have a severe lack of skill. Same goes for lack of KP and high placement. The skill is in finding the balance between the two.
- @Asmodeus566 I get what you mean, however getting RP now requires a playstyle that doens't fit my definition of skilled. I understand its the devs who decide what skilled means and theres nothing we can do about that.
Btw don't you thing the placement / kill RP was more balanced last season? Like, in order to gain big points you needed kills and placement, but you did not lose much RP if u died early with lots of kills. Many early kills where like a safety net.S12 was pretty good, better than S10 and S11, but put to much emphasis on placement one could theoretically Rat to Plat 4 and be hardstuck and no help to true plat players.
S12 also allowed for Hot Drop Harry to go off on their own, screwing their teammates and rank up, fun for harry AKA Rambo but left their team in 2 v 3 because they could not bother to play a team based game with a team.
I think that S13 is attempting to fix the situation, encouraging team play and discouraging individual play. One can still get early KP and then play for placement to maximize.
One could still be Rambo with enough sense to think about placement and not push every fight solo in order to rank up. Just harder for them now.
Hot Drop Harry and Rambo are for Pubs now.
The game is not a TDM it is a BR so survival and kills both matter. I think the system is better now, but still needs tweaks to make it even better.
Back to basic's, what is the goal as advertised in the game since season 1, to win the match place #1. getting a 20 bomb and placing 11th is a loss.
- @Asmodeus566 Alright fair enough, Respawn can't make everyone happy at the same time anyway. A Permanent ranked control mode would be dope to for us gunplay focused Hot Drop Rambos.
Please Respawn ? 🙏
