I am obviousl exaggeratingBut Arena Ranked has a MAJOR flaw currently where in the upper ranks of diamond 2 and above a player only stands to gain between 12 and 30 points depending on the enemyBut you can lose 60 AP or more if you lose to the wrong peopleWhat is the * point of a game mode if you risk more than you stand to gain?Every pred only gains +12 every game but if they lose to smurfs or cheaters they lose 30-60 AP and have to win 6 games to ONLY get their points backHow the * is this fair or motivating at all? Like who the * wants to play this * gamemode?And how isnt there already a cap on how much you can lose?

@Asmodeus566 @dSKyNafinchin LOL. Just check every BR game's twitter replies. There's always a "dying/dead game" reply .They really need to change something about arenas. I wish they could have done something like the valorant and CS:Go type of mode. You can win by either killing every enemy (like what arenas is right now) and you can also win by placing a bomb in a bomb site. It adds so much depth to the mode. Right now arenas is mostly (in my experience) both teams poking each other until they down one then rushes the other team to kill the remaining 2 players.

The game won’t die because no one plays ranked arenas that’s why the matchmaking is doodoo. Obviously an exaggeration too but ranked arenas does have a problem when it comes to the number of players playing the mode.

@dSKyNafinchin LMAO your comment to the big Cheese.Fartnight player gets to the point though in his first sentence, stating the obvious by saying " I am obviously exaggerating"@fartnitepalyer I agree the AP system needs some sort of fixing and clarity, I myself cant think of a way right now and am concentrating on BR more now either way.

@Cheese9Man The amount of times that Apex has had a death sentence...@fartnitepalyer This is why I stopped messing with ranked Arena shortly after it launched. I will sometimes play a round or two of Arena pubs, but haven't recently. Definitely hoping that leaked "Capture" mode comes to fruition!

@Cheese9Man Unfortunately this is true. My brother is playing Arena Ranked and what I have heard is just damn messed up. He is just a Gold player and has already predators/masters in his matches which is unfair to every player like him and even as a Platinum player he has almost every round a stacked pred team which is a huge problem imo. I have to add that he has a pre team bc solo q is not possible hereI play br the most time so I think that ranked is more fair here even tho we have an equal level of skill (but he is a bit better due to the fact that he has played more fps games than me, u know, AL is my first fps game ever).

Ranked Arena AP System NEEDS CHANGE ASAP OR THE GAME WILL DIE

I think I can say that this conversation and theme been up on the forum and on youtube numerous times the last months. Its a known fubar, I do think they need to fix the point system very soon or ranked arena will die slowly. I don't bother playing arena anymore because of the system. But I dont think the game will die, BR is alive and kicking still, but yes the arena game mode has some issues, especially with ranked 😉

@Cheese9Man Social media gives everyone a "voice" haha

I've never been a fan of SnD modes like that, especially on CoD, but I'd be open to give it a try on Apex. I don't even touch Arena for challenges anymore. I do well in it, but it just isn't fun for me. I get worse teammates in Arena, than I do in BR, which is saying something, Lmao

@fartnitepalyer Unfortunately arenas isnt popular and ranked arenas is even less popular. And most people diamond and above 3 stack so that is why solo queues get anyone on the same mmr.

@hayhor you are wrong. solo Q players get matched with ANYONE that is queueing. most of the time people at least 1 rank below theirs. it is absolutely not MMR based at all

anyway the whole mode is such a * mess, its sad. I could come up with 10 ways to fix it instantly

@fartnitepalyer so instead of just complaining here put your money where your mouth is @fartnitepalyer wrote: "anyway the whole mode is such a * mess, its sad. I could come up with 10 ways to fix it instantly" and suggest those fixes here so that maybe a CM will see your great suggestion and maybe if it is good enough flag it for a Dev to maybe take action on and make the game better. That would be great.
Otherwise words are wind.
