Rank rework confirmed!

Any guesses on what changes will be made? Is it safe to assume that it will be major changes since they had to make a promo just for it? Full Blogpost: https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/ne...

I think there are going to be a lot of people quitting ranked if there is ranked demotion. I mean, there kind of is already. Will it help the remaining IVs in each ranked to not hot drop?
I don't think so. I think they hit their 'IV's and leave.
But nobody said they'd do that. You rise and fall through the ranks as it stands right now. It's just that a lot of people play badly, part because Respawn guides them to do exactly what you don't if you want to win. Things like:
"Stick together, and you'll win more."
"Don't loot your team mate's box."
"The ring's closing, better move."
I mean, we can go on, but no to all these things.

Does “rise and fall through the ranks” finally mean rank demotion? 😮

@KelRiever Ranked demotion would only benefit me as I just get to Diamond IV then quit.

Only other thing that I would want to see is major increase to ranked level cap.

  @MyName1sNotJohn Yeah I kinda agree with adding 1 or 2 ranks. The difference on how gold and platinum plays or feels is huge.

    @Cheese9Man
    Maybe just maybe revives and respawning teammates will be rewarded with RP in order to provide more of a reason for sticking with your team. This does not have to be much but enough for an incentive. I can not count how many times me saving a teammate or them saving me = winning the game or how many times one could have been saved but it did not happen and the loss was insured.
    I have suggested this type of RP reward many times in the past.

@KelRiever what? why would ppl leave because of demotion? I see no negatives in having it but i see alot problems with the model they use now.

  @Danskermand People would hit there rank and rather than risk demotion they would stop playing.

    @hayhor Only players that got there carried by someone will stop playing because they know they're not that good to remain in that tier. People that can play will still continue grinding.
    I think this would at least slightly increase the ranked experience.
