Future plans to curb cheating in Ranked. An idea.
Given some thought... My proposal for ranked play per season. Three methods.
Medthod 1: A "buy in" system using x ammount of Legendary tokens to access the Ranked Season game play. This is to curb people banned from making an immediate account and jumping right back into the ranked scene and ruining the game for most people, it may also offer some incentive not to cheat.
Method 2: Purchasing the Season battle pass includes access to the Ranked Seasonal game play. This may also help curb cheating seeing the use of real money.
I think Method 1 and 2 combined would help the most istead of using one or the other.
Method 3: A flat real money cost or use of Apex Coins of 10-20 dollar range. I would suggest making the battle pass purchasable the same as now but you dont get access to the ranked game play where is 20 dollars gives you the battle pass along with access to ranked game play. to some this maybe steep in price range but seeing it would be at most 60 a year or 5 dollars a month. thats not too bad. This would probably have the most substantial reduction in cheating.
In my opinion the use of the "f2p" format is dated, it was a time when cheating was less prevalent and in todays time, its rampant and abused for all types of reasons. The only real way to reduce the cheating is to add a model where it cost you someting to play, so you have something to lose. You cant just re create an account. Its like having a child who doesnt listen and you only correct the child by saying "dont do that". It doesnt work, there has to be consequences to actions as it is in the real world. When you can just recreate an account there is no consequence of value. I think with monetary consequences along side a better anti cheat software, gives the best chances of running a clean fair game.
Im open to all ideas on the topic! Give me your or ideas or Reword what ive proposed! Lets make a change or atleast try to make a change and have dialogue here!
