Challenge: How long the new system will survive? Make your bets !

Now we have a new ranked system that let you be the new Rat Predator. 🤓 Taking a project and modifying it to look like another game doesn't seem a good idea. Increase the entry points will not fix...

@VOTChaos We will find out mid season how effective this was. If the player count drops it could be really hard. I expect it will because people will hit max rank really fast this time. Will people play pubs or mixtape? Or will they make new accounts to do it again?

All this being said Apex has a few years of a trend where player count drops as the year goes on so that has to be taken into account too. Then player count spikes early the next year to a new highest ever level.

@hayhor I do actually believe that the playerbase will drop because ranked got very slow and boring.

@matzesingt We will see. I asked someone the other day what they will do after they hit masters so quickly. The response was that they will use a second account to help someone else get there. And they will kill grind. This person is someone that plays the game a huge amount of the time so we will see.

  @hayhorBut players no longer need help anymore, they just need to hide to be one of the top 10 or 3. I think it makes sense if they work with elojob, where we have so many smurfs putting so many accounts, third party accounts, in High Elo, like in League of Legends.

@matzesingt People are getting tired of getting destroyed by Predator players, just watch some streamers and you'll see that every one of them has at least 10/15 kp every game, because they get Silver players in lobby.
