I for one don't care for ranked mode, wish I could uninstall. I started playing Apex Legends because it was fun, I do not find these changes fun. Also, I'm not a fan of zipline fights, but if someone has the ability to do them, so be it.
It seems all changes nowadays are strictly for articles on reddit and/ or streamers that are part of the EA game changer program. Like your opinion seems identical from that NRG member who healed while in the storm with zero damage to get to Predator.
Also, in case people haven't noticed it, Battle Royale isn't about killing people, it is about waiting out the storm, so technically that's being competitive by not doing anything.
I also think that video will have a different effect than what that NRG member intended too. I think Respawn will say, okay the storm doesn't do enough damage, when the intention was to say that people need more buy-in to get into the rooms. I'm calling it now, storm damage will be increased.
One thing though is updates need to take into account that some people do not play ranked, so not everything needs to be made incount of it.
