Evan Nikolich's opinion on Rank
It's a good read on the direction of rank, at least they're aware of the painful grind. https://www.theloadout.com/apex-legends/ranked-interview-season-13 "In terms of RP being a more accurate repr...

@Asmodeus566 if this small mid season adjustment does not attract players back to ranked, then it will be a big adjustment for the start of S14. They have already shot themselves in the foot and lost loads of players from ranked, it will be a much more difficult thing to attract them back after stopping. Small isn't the word you want to be hearing really.
Imo to get back to S12 player numbers (if they are lucky) they will have to swollow their dev pride and put the points back to S12 for up to and including diamond.
And perhaps include opinion from more than the top 1% of players in their decision making process. They need to engage with the majority of the player base with more than a short questionnaire asking "did you enjoy the game you just played" yes no.... That gives no real input.
Like i said we will see additional adjustments to ranked come the beginning of S14 however I do not think they need to rollback to S12 in any real shape way or form.
I agree that more than the top 1% should have input value but there are so many players at all levels that can not think beyond themselves or have no real input value that it makes this hard on the devs.
maybe they should look at the boards and see who posts what to get a feel for their value and ask those people for input. CM’s need to push this forward to highlight those that are fighting for the betterment of this game for all the players and EA/Respawn.
- @Asmodeus566 Sometimes I wonder if the devs even know about this forum lol. They always flock to reddit and Twitter, two very toxic communities...
I believe they do. However I also believe that due to how they see things and treat the Streamers/Pros and their hangerons that they are active on twitter etc and not on here. For an EA game you would think that their EA home forum would get some attention from the Devs, and I can see wher many here feel we in this community are neglected by them or just dismissed as not nearly as important as twitch. We have some pretty good CM’s and all but maybe EA Dev’s can pop in once in a while on their EA platform and chat with us.
@EA_David what are your thoughts about this? Could you share @Gabrielmojo26 ‘s and my thoughts on this up the chain so to speak?

An apex dev quote retweeted on twitter to answer this question “Game devs, what's something that you wish the general public knew about making games?”
And her response was:
“We listen to your problems, not your solutions
It's not because we think your solutions are bad. There are many solutions to a problem. Knowing the problem gives us more data to consider. And if something changes in the future, we can make sure we still avoid the problem, before it happens.
Taking a suggested solution instead of the problem is kind of like following driving directions from a passenger without knowing where they wanna go.
There could be road closures or traffic to avoid, but you won't know to do so unless you know the destination they want to reach.“I guess they want those threads that just says remove Stormpoint or remove this and that gun with no solutions. Lol.
