@djentyman Part way thru the first split of this season there were already 4 or 5 times the number of masters players.
- 5 years ago@hayhor how do you know that? does respawn reveal stats or there is services i can see it?
- hayhor5 years agoHero@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.
- 5 years ago@hayhor that's suspicious. think it this way. diamond players who were able to take d3 in previous season possibly could have taken masters. But for those who stucked on plat and even on d4 they are still unable because these ranked changes only give u an opportunity to have slightly higher final score and rank up a little bit faster. So where did these 15k new masters come from? Platinum lobby still the same, d4 lobby still the same. Only d3+ lobby has changed. It is now not against masters/preds like previous seasons.

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?
- 5 years ago@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?
- hayhor5 years agoHero@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.

@hayhor I would agree that olympus is a much harder map to play ranked on. Its a more open map and everyone seems to be carrying a sniper 😃 the final circles also seem to end up in more open areas too. Can get real real sweaty for a creeper who has avoided the suicidal point droppers, but I love it. 😃
