How do Rank splits work?
Does everyone playing Ranked get "demoted" by the same amount every split? If so, what is the point of it? What I mean by that is, If Preds get demoted to Pat II, then everyone in Plat II is a "form...

@Vdstrk It's basically designed to give more people a chance at predator, so for us mere mortals that aren't in the upper echelons of apex ranked ifs just a pointless set back.
As for the full rank demotions it's to prevent people deliberately bombing their rank to remain in ranked lobbies below their skill.E.g a diamond player decides he wants to noob stomp, so he reverse boosts his rank back to bronze. He can then noobstomp and repeat this cycle....it's basically like smurfing in concept.

I see. Can you elaborate? I truly fail to see how Respawn would think that by setting everyone back by the same lengths would change anything in the upper levels.
If all preds are now plat II, what all plat II be now? And so on, except for the lower ranks limited/capped by the bottom bronze IV.@Vdstrk So only the top 500 players in each season can be a predator, however the season is split and you achieve the rank rewards of the split you reached the highest rank in if that's makes sense? (This may be different for predator to be fair,maybe somebody else can confirm)
As for the rank drop its always 1.5 ranks that you're set back.
@MandatoryIDtag
Ok, so that is how I thought it would happen. Suppose only 500 pred players. Everyone drops by 1.5.
Only 500 people will be in plat II at the beginning of the next split, as all "real" plat II are now 1.5 below. What did change from the day before? Everyone who was in plat II is now 1.5 lower etc.How would it make it easier for a new player to get to pred?
