Maybe we need balance in apex ranked next split.!? PLAT 4 RANKED BTW!
Forum Discussion
@djentyman top 0,1% pred; 0,2-0,5% Master; 0,5-5% Dia; 5%-10% Plat; 10%-40% Gold, 40%-70% Silver; 80%-100% Bronze. (inspired by the aktuell Rank distribution)
A win count as 10 bonus kills, second place as 5 Kills, third place as 2 Kills, place 4 and 5 as 1 Kill. That system will kill the smurfs who destroy newbies for fun (after 1 round they are up against the pros again). the cheaters are in the top lobby after the first round (maybe easier detecting for Respawn). bad players can have fun again when they play together with other 0,5 k/d players.

@Teisen991 okay.... u showed us rank destribution and ....? for what??
and what the hell is this "A win count as 10 bonus kills, second place as 5 Kills, third place as 2 Kills, place 4 and 5 as 1 Kill." is this ur vision of "perfect" ranked system? Srsly? Are u high or what? U said 0.5kd is a bad players. I have 1 k/d and i am diamond. Am i slightly better then trash?

@djentymanIf a negative kd is trash and yours is 1 then yes, you are slightly better than trash. xD Obviously depending how long and often you have played and imo kills should earn you more points to discourage camping.
The idea isn't that bad with some tweaks actually. You could camp and get second place, worth 5 kills, or rambo and be 15th but having 5 kills would equate the same and reward an aggressive playstyle.- @apostolateofDOOM 15th place and 5 kills would give u +2 points, 2nd place without kills/assists would give +12 pints on the diamond rank. so if u want to rank up, then you should play passive till top 10 and then try to get some kills as 3d party, if attempt is failed, rotate and try again(this strategy worked perfectly for me in plat rank, but on diamond it is sooooo hard). or u have to be pro/semi pro player to kill everybody in plat lobby and rank up fast.(but this wont work for diamond, this is problematic even for master+ players)..
- @djentyman The current system does because it rewards camping, ratting or playing passive but that's the whole point. How many times do you hear people say they don't play ranked because of things mentioned above?
@djentyman This is not Call of Duty, you don't win a game of Apex (or Fortnite for that matter) by being jacked up kill monger. You play the game, and last until the end, which is predominantly survival.
Doesn't mean killing doesn't matter, and yeah unless you somehow regularly get to 2nd place you're going to need to kill people to get to higher ranks. But I don't see how a high k/d ratio matters until then. Even then, sorry, you know, not everybody should bother with the grind that is ranked diamond and beyond.
Personally, I find those ranks will be hard to move through once you get there. You're going to have to place high and kill people who are much better at the game. People are going to come out on the wrong end of that equation and quite often.
Not sure if it is worth it, really.
With King's Canyon, which I despise, I just get barely to gold then stop playing ranked. There are some challenges for ranked sewn into the weeks, but I'll wait for the split to get them so I can bash my way through them in bronze. Until they go back to World's Edge or make a new map which isn't a Flustercluck, I'll wait and play the regular game modes. Ranked is fun, that's for sure, for finding people who stick through games. But it isn't the end all be all, either.
