Re: Predators Farming RP faster in SA servers
@Solid_EXC for people who have seen similar threads, read something more detailed on ranked in Apex and especially tried various locations themselves this is not a surprise.
I have seen nr.1 and nr.2 Preds at the time (last season?) actually go for the mentioned server and explaining in their stream exactly why...no surprise = they want easier matchups, easier grind vs the rest of the Predators who were chasing their desired nr.1 and 2 spot on the list.
Also, it is a known fact that:
- Asian servers are much more populated with hackers than any other
- NA servers on average are much easier than EU pretty much on any level
- Ping does not affect your gameplay too much in Apex (there is a whole official page explaining how 20hz servers work and why they are 20hz) = you can easily jump locations which would be a major issue in any other FPS game with a different setup where ping 100ms+ is close to unplayable, in Apex I actually feel the exact opposite and regularly play with up to 180 ping no problem
- pure number of people per location + SBMM = the more popular locations you play the lower the chance of running into higher ranked lobbies and vice versa
So yeah another pat on the back to Apex community and especially streamers who bring this loophole to masses!
