I wonder how many masters will be at the end of the season(i bet percent of master will grow significantly comparing to previos seasons).. Its like every 3d kid ordered boost to masters.I even have one in my friend list who bought boost to masters(he has never ever been further than plat 4 in all previous seasons) and now he ruins every game for his random teammates in master lobby Previous split i ended up almost d2(i needed 1 ***ing point) and that was not that hard at all comparing to the season 7,6,5. But now it's so damn hard to get out from d4.. And i see alot of players with 2k dmg badges on them doing 3k+ dmg 10+ kills in d4+ rank.I also noticed my winrate fell(in ranked games only) from 10% to 6% comparing to previous season(but it has been growing ~+1% since season 5 when i started train kovaak) and k/a from 1.7 to 1.2(only for ranked).. It says that the overall level of players has grown up in very very short preiod of time.This trail reward made apex unplayeble for now .. courious does someone else notice that?

@rockyboy1998 My normal teammate when I play hasnt played ranked much since making diamond in like season 5. Because the trails came back for diamond he decided he wanted to do it again. He did it in like 7 to 10 days solo queuing the first split and said it was much easier than it was before. Now tho he is struggling with it on Olympus.

@djentyman As season goes, more and more players gain more skill and experience so it's natural it's getting more and more harder as season goes by especially on the higher end of the rank (Platinum and Diamond).It just like school, as time goes by, our kid school material is getting more difficult than the one we had years back. You won't realize on elementary/middle school but you could feel it on High school and college level, you can't help you kid anymore unless youself put extra effort on it !

@asukojodo you know what "Standard deviation/normal distribution" is? Scientists use it to look if election has been faked. This is like basics of statistical analysis. Basically it allows you to see the deviation from "normal average". So if graphic of rank distribution among all divisions deviates too much from the "standard pattern" it literally says that some kind of falsification has been revealed. So we will see this stats by the end of the season and if its deviates significantly from its average, we can assume that too much accounts has been boosted by acc boosters.Personal skill of specific person can not grow significantly in terms of 1 season. It differ from person to person, but there is average value for every person. Valuable progress needs hundred of hours of playing and reviewing own games/mistakes(and lots of time in kovaak/aim lab etc). If only you spend 10+ hours a day with the aim of improving(not like friends of mine just for fun), then you can grow higher then average value, but its still not that significant in terms of 1 season. If improving process had been so fast and easy, overall amount of tier 1 players will be much higher.

As a ranked player myself, I found Kings Canyon on split 1 to be incredibly hard (in diamond). I didn't feel much difference from the 'old style' of Ranked to be honest. Also, I'm unsure why this season encouraged people to play ranked more, surely it can't be because of dive trails?

@rockyboy1998 Could just be luck of the draw. I havent played with you so I have no idea how good you are relative to my friend.

Respawn made this split so profitable for rank boosters

@djentyman I reported a boosting site once but they never did anything. And that was like a year ago I think.

@rockyboy1998 i belive there are much more players then often who buys boost to diamond/masters to get trails. More then 50% of my friend list in apex now tries to get to d4. Some of them have already bought boost to diamond/master cuz it is not that expensive and they want fancy trails so bad.

@djentymanThey do realize that they allow cheaters to boost them and that will most likely result in a ban if they get caught?

@djentyman Either a respawn dev mentioned this in a tweet or I saw the stat posted by a youtuber that mined the info. it was something like from 5k to 20k. Huge increase which was credited to the RP change. Respawn wanted more diamonds masters and preds to fill queues.
