ApexTAB skill rating is a joke!
I am currently world's number 8 best Apex player according to Apextabs. This rating system is a joke! I'm all down for a 3rd party stat tracker/stat api. But you really need to work on your...

I still don’t see a problem with rating yes it can be fudged with by leaving games but most games you can fudge your stats I have never really cared about stats because most games they are denpendent on how much you play so none of them are really a good leaderboard based on skill
Moral of the story if you are going to complain about this rating system you need to complain about all of them since the beginning of time or just keep fudging it so you stay in the top 10

Community AdminI think @the_ambieneer's on the right track here, the current implementation may need tweaking, but posting specifics here probably isn't the best way to go.
Reaching out to them with feedback is going to be a much better way to help them improve.
It would go a very long way if you could nudge Respawn to publicly release the stats and maybe even an API. Currently all 3rd party stats are living off scraps that they can gather from what is shown on player's profile (so if the player doesn't have the kill tracker shown, even his kills will be missing; and all that only applies to only the currently active character). Any stats collected this way are very incomplete and worthless. And that's very sad since having good 3rd party stats pages (well, official would be even better, but that's really not necessary) is a necessity for any competitive game - so opening up full player statistics for 3rd party devs (in whatever way) should be quite high on priority list.

@Biochemikas I totally agree, and we have reported the community's desire for a stats API.
If and when we have any information we'll make sure to let folks know.

Then we'll have threads of "I'm great and my stats prove it so why did this noob kill me" or "why am I playing with people who destroy my well earned (I say manipulated) stats". Not forgetting the posts on here that will be "my epeen is bigger than yours".
The only judge of skill is imo is in game. Not a stat sheet.
Just takes Cods K/D ratio for example. Everybody wants to preserve their oh so precious stats which leads to more rage quits and an even more toxic community.
Just my 2 cents 🙂
