With these changes to Ranked, I've seen a drastic change towards public games and its players, and I've actually witnessed players saying they're going to quit because of it. I've heard discussions that some don't have the time to just sit around camping rings and/ or even care for ranked play. All they care about is trying to do cool things.
Apex Legends in my mind became popular because of interesting kills and/ or shots, not because someone wasted 10 mins crouching.
I get there are people that want to win, but there are also those who just want to have fun. This update to Ranked didn't think about the majority of people in Apex Legends.
Respawn still after 3 years doesn't get this. Some just want to have fun, and don't care about competition. In my mind, Apex Legends is not a true competitive title, so I would think Respawn would at least give back, but it hasn't happened.
I honestly think Ranked needs a non-ranked mode to encourage team play so Public games can be a place for learning basic skills and/ or learning.
