Changes to ranked mode

After trying to grind to platinum all night, I have come to the realization that Ranked mode in Apex is extremely flawed. First of all, there has to be implemented some kind of “skill trial” before being able to rank up into the next rank. Starting already at entry to Silver. That way good players can’t hard carry bad players to higher ranks than their skill level matches or IQ for FPS games are at. Second is something I just wish would be implemented. It’s Loss forgiveness for having players that have less IQ than a doorknob. Players that ignore EVERY good weapon lying around, instead going for the P20 lying among r99 and 301/spitfire. And then continue to push two teams all on their own. Then dying leaving you 1v3 rest of the game if you even get out of there alive. The amount of RP I’ve lost because of r-t@rded teammates is unfathomable. So please fix this sht. Same with nerfing the Bow as well as Valkyrie

    Ranked is a hard one, there is a lot of times when I solo queue and I don't get the best teammates, it's then hard for me to max out KP due to the play styles of my randoms.

    There isn't really much they can do and there just isn't a system that they can implement to make everyone have good teammates. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose I suppose.

    All I have decided to do to combat this is play with a pre-made squad that way when I lose, the only people I can blame is myself or my teammates.

    I agree that ranked has it's issues. All the points you make are legitimate. I think that for starters, increasing the barrier to entry in ranked by a lot would make ranked a bit less frustrating, especially at lower ranks. It, also would also discourage smurfing, and cheating in ranked, because if a player has to reach a high level (say 300 for sake of example) well that is going to take a few days at least, and it would deny the insta gratification of reaching a high rank by cheating or smiting less experienced players.
    Then there is the fact that, imo, Apex wants first and foremost be a casual game, even in ranked. Ant that, again imo, would explain why servers are not updated, why re-balancing weapon takes a long time, why hit registration and audio issues are nor really resolved etc.
