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...

Yes, it does suck. What did you expect? They never adressed the key issues this game has.
I suppose the idea was to prevent people from hot dropping and dying immediately. Also they wanted to weed out unskilled players and force them to stay in low ranks instead of slowly climbing to where they do not belong.
But these changes did not change anything. It is the same godly frustrating experience for the majority of players.
I was watching a random stream today. The title was something like 'bronze to predator solo q'. The stream had 0 viewers until I joined. Obviously the guy was a smurf, he had only starting legends unlocked. He was in silver 1 when I joined. And he was destroying everyone. Now guess who his teammates were? He got 2 ppl with diamond trails in silver 1. What chance do real silver players have against this ream? NONE.
This is where you are mistaken those diamond players with diamond trials are most likely hardstuck d4 and slowly climbed their way to that rank and do not deserve it with this new system as they would most likely hover around plat or even gold. When the ranked system sorts itself out this will not be as bad due to the fact the higher skilled players will eventually leave your deserved rank and will then enter their deserved rank.
- @MajesticClaw Isn't the new system designed for players who prefer to play safe and want to climb slowly ?
The new system is for playing safely while not made for rats, this is because you need kills to gain points, and also, the better you place in the top 20 in the game, the more points you earn. This makes it more similar to the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) style, where people fight necessary fights while trying to avoid silly fights, and then they can play zone. Ranked should not be a system where you can easily get to a rank. It should be hard and not some speed run.
Again, this system does not do what it was supposed to do. Apex Legends doesn't do what it is supposed to do.
Constantly, the game is saying you should play as a team. But now, more than ever, you are better off on your own.
You really do not get that many more kills as a team of 3, sorry. The important parts of the new system are that it takes a huge buy in of RP now, and that you're getting your team mates kills, but NOT if you are dead when they get them. That means you have to place high for kills to matter as always, but also if you drop down as a team of 3 get a few kills and you are dead before you get half the other teams in your game dead, congrats, your score is going to suck.
People believe commercials too much. If Mountain Dew sold itself as a health drink, I swear at least 1 in every 5 people would not only believe it, but run around telling everyone else how wrong they were for thinking it wasn't.
Load as a premade with 3 if you want to play as a team. If you are a pug, there are people here who want to try playing as a team and some of them are even ok or good at it. But for the most part, if it isn't working, then ignore your mates and make sure you get top 5. Otherwise your extra kills from your team mates will not make a difference.
Er a Diamond IV is a Diamond. You mean they don’t deserve a masters trail.
A hard stuck Diamond was a Diamond from plat iii and above. You don’t get to Diamond otherwise. Just like a Diamond iii is a masters player who just hasn’t gotten to masters yet.
I don’t know where you get the crazy ethic from. People really are the rank they actually are.
