Re: How Ranked Leagues Will Work in Season 2 of Apex Legends

I won't have time for ranked games tonight, but Thursday I'll be giving it some hours and I'll pop back here.

I may be playing with randoms, but we'll wait and see.

On a side note, this has made me far more relaxed playing normal queue. If I want to "try hard" and win, I'll play ranked. For a casual fun bit of play, I'll play pubs. It's a win win for me 🙂

Im just gonna put this here. I finish with 1200 damage with 2 kills. My team mate finishes with 800 damage and 9 kills. He gets 5 points for poking people I did damage too (lets be real who the f wouldnt since you want to make sure you win the fight.)

Now I get punished for doing a crap ton of damage and he gets rewarded for nothing? 

Figure out something with this, because this makes me frustrated at my team for nothing honestly. Luckily I have a level enough head to not care as much, but you guys are already getting * on by the community for this. 

Utterly stupid concept for the kills and RP. 

My team is literally apologizing to each other for ksing by accident so we can level the same. WTF is this.

My thoughts on ranked so far...

So my friends and I usually drop skulltown, hot zone, or any of the new locations to try to rack up kills. At first, I was struggling to get kills because I noticed everyone playing ranked is a lot better than playing casual. I had to adjust to this and like you said, tone down my aggressive playing style. I had a couple of wins last night with max kill RP and I am currently Silver IV. The most kills I got last night in a win was 7 compared to the 8-11 kill wins I average in casuals so ranked is definitely more competitive. 

As for the ranking system, is there a leaderboard or will there be a leaderboard so everyone can see how they match up against their friends and globally? Also, I do not like how the bronze rank requires zero RP to enter. This means that everyone will eventually get out of bronze so there will be no use for the tier. To get out of bronze, you simply just have to play. This makes silver ranking the real bronze ranking because you are able to lose points in this rank so all the "bronze" players will actually be in silver. I don't have experience in the higher ranks yet but someone made a very good point about how in higher tiers, you will have to try to get the maximum amount of kills RP to actually earn points. Right now it is easy to rank up because 17 RP games are so common but I wonder how difficult it will be once players reach higher ranks.

Question: When you reach silver, is your team mate and champion also silver or still bronze?

I see youtube, it still mixed between silver and bronze (bronze > 4). I guess there's not enough silver to fill the lobby yet.

@asukojo 

I have been playing all of my ranked matches premade so my teammates have been silver. Since I am only silver IV, there have been a mix of bronze and silver players because I am on the border I believe. Once I reach higher tiers of silver, I should see less bronze players. Also, you are probably right about they're not being enough silvers to fill the lobby yet.
