Re: Ranked is even worse!!

@CAGOA34Depends on playstyle too, if you play slow and go for wins more you will have higher kd imo. Besides kd is a rough representation of skill.

Not wrong tho, a lot of people on the forum have k/d around 1.5 and can solo queue to Diamond. That includes easy cruise through Bronze to Gold.

    Most games I have only last a few minutes because I like to drop hot and I might get 1-2 kills. Obviously then I have a few games where I die straight away and get nothing. 1 in 10 games I will have a good game where I get 6-9 kills. I struggle to get double figures and that has only happened a hand full of times. This makes my stats close to 1.5 kd.

    The main point I'm trying to make is that I find silver ranked a lot harder than pubs. Not sure why but I do. Maybe I play different I don't know but its just harder.

    Most the time I have just one or two kills while I have the most dmg of my team. Then I see the random Octane just has half of the dmg but 9 kills. 

    The main problem of this * rank system is the fact it measures skill by kill. 

    If you deal 199dmg to an enemy and this guy then falls over dead hit by a random bzllet from an other person you get nothing. But the other guy must be so op, he killed that guy with a single p2020 round.

  • I can tell you how to get out of silver easily.  It's the way the game was designed, and the way the rules work.

    You drop solo, you play alone until you hit top 5 then try to maybe get some kills.  Preferably you last until top 4.  Play a lot and you will rank up.

    Now, is that the way Apex is 'supposed' to be played?  According to players, I think they'd say no.  But according to Respawn it is exactly the way you play their game.

    @KelRiever Just hit Diamond a few days ago, and for the remaining 500RP, I did exactly what you said, but only because I queue solo.

    Getting paired with Gold teammates and hard stuck P4's equals to -36RP most of the time.

    OP, if you're going to do this, I recommend muting your team, and muting the pings lol

    @KelRiever Fair enough but why even bother them.  Seriously, what's the point of endgame for that?  It sounds like very little fun and nobody you come up against will care about your rank or super special dive tail or whatever so why bother then?
