It just really bothers me that they are happy with this and actually have the nerve to say it, in the manner it which they did knowing dam well the highest percentage of the player base is frustrated.
I find it to be a literal slap in the face.
@ComicBookGuy2727 Word to the big bird. But unfortunately we won't know until we play a few games and find out the result of this "new ranked-based system".
Yeah, the whole 'look at our graphs' approach just smacks of ivory tower thinking.
Don't get me wrong, I think data needs to be looked at. But the whole 'showing' of the data kind of rings to me like a statement of 'we're putting a lot of thought into this' and really there's not, or there's the wrong kind of thought.
If I look at those graphs, I can see last season was just a massive mistake and so is this one. So instead of being like 'we're making changes' I'd be like 'Someone was fired and we now have someone new on the job'
The gaming industry is incestuous, though, and Respawn isn't any kind of exception. Apex is going to keep on fixing its 'ranked structure' rather than actually fix the problem.
If the answer wasn't a bunch of graphs, but a bunch of 'we have a whole redesign of our levels, or games, or characters, then it would be (slightly) more promising.
But this? Expect people to play the exact same way they have been for over a year now. It's not going to change.
You just had to go back to S16 ranked matchmakingand delete mmr ... guess next season is gonna be dead aswell.
Can't wait for another hight TTK fps to remplace apex at this point."However, the data that we’re seeing (along with other data points) does suggest that players are struggling to reach their ‘true’ ranking at a reasonable pace with the peak of the distribution in Bronze instead of being in the middle of Silver."
yeah right , it's totaly not because everyone uninstalled the game after doing the 10 provisional matches in this worthless mmr system.
I just want everything to count in the game on how it was when instead of LP it was actually RP. For every kill, assist, knockdown and other bonuses should be deducted from the LP.
But they are counting more from what place you are in obviously.
