New ranking system is full of frustration

I don't understand why you change the game based on top 1% Pro players opinions. But ignore the bottom and middle level casual players. Apex was not friendly for new players in previous seasons al...

Yeah it is on reddit also.

Just way to much math for me to keep up with.

I just look at it this way if you are getting 3-5 KP yourself and the team is pitching 2-4 Participation Points your way at least up to Plat 4 with some good placement, one should be fine.

Of course the more of both the merrier.

@Asmodeus566 to me this RP system is making sense now, the only complaint I would say is the poor match-making system for solo-queue players.

Generally for someone below Plat, every game if then can ensure they get 2 kill/assist which worth 10 RP each and get another 2 team participations, the RP is around 30-40 without the team rank points, overall it does make sense that you will need to make sure you are in top 10 while you should also actively fight for it, not camping. I think I can somehow get the design here, just not with the poor match-makings.

Right now matchmaking is going to be a bit messed up due to the whole ne rework. I imagine and hope that after the split or later in this split it will start to balance out.
Solo Q has always had it's up and down sides. Right now it is a bit on the down side. However I have found so far that most of the Randoms I have played with so far (90%) are adapting to the new ranked system and tend to play more as a team than not so this should help out the Solo Q player and should get better as time progresses.
Enjoying the conversation with you. THX and wishing you GG's.
