Thanks for adding duos!! How about ranked duos option
Is there any chance we can get a ranked option on duos as well? I see an unbalanced system in high and low kill rate players. Any thoughts on this?
Forum Discussion
@DoYaSeeMe That's a fact. But when becoming permanent this would be a great option to add to the game. Maybe i was to fast on posting this :P it's such a neat game!
@sTeAmAAAAAAA I don't necessarily agree with this becoming permanent or ranked. It would just generate many issues, like splitting the playerbase, people becoming angry that they're not adding a permanent solo mode as well, etc.. I'm fine with this being an LTM or one of a few modes that rotate weekly / monthly.
- @DoYaSeeMe I don't really see the issue in that matter. Or would splitting the playerbase highly affect the server response? If not, in my opinion solo and duos could be added both (permanently) so players can choose whatever they want to play. It all comes together at that point. And then just only ranked from that point on. I guess this would bring even more fun for everyone.
- @sTeAmAAAAAAA Splitting the playerbase can affect queue times and also the meta.
Just gonna chime in and say it probably wouldn't split the playerbase that much.
A lot of people are probably just playing becasue of duo's right now.
I mean i know i'll stop playing when its gone again.☹️
- @DoYaSeeMe If a mode is splitting the player base it’s simply because people want to play that mode instead of the trio. If solos/duos ranked got added and squad ranked que became longer its obviously nobody gives a flying F about Squads just the minority’s
- @SethCurry You got a good point there. But as like fortnite, is that game affected by adding a solo/duos option? I think not. I don't know if i can compare ea servers altitude with eg's fortnite. It is still a high ranked game. And i think Apex could be much bigger then it is already. Just by adding ranked options on solo/duos. Because it would be more player friendly in my opinion.
- @SethCurry All modes would be affected by dividing the players. Longer queues would destroy top ranks, making top players and streamers quit the game for good, which would be just the start of the domino effect.
- @DoYaSeeMe How could you honestly say that...Look at the state the games in now, People left in droves already for numerous reasons 'Forced 3s being one of them.
Soon as duos is gone, What do you expect is gonna happen?
Forced 3s is the hill this game is gonna die on.@FingrpistolsApex reached 70 million players before duos. Most of them are in Apex for squads, unless they're masochists, sticking to a game they hate. Sure, when duos is over, some will move away and rant, but the upcoming LTMs and Seasons will bring in new waves of players. Game is not going to die.
Also, why don't you people look at Titanfall 2? 16 game modes, over 20 maps, more weapons than Apex , faster movement, faster TTK. That game has many of the things most of you are looking for, yet its playerbase is around 10-15k. Why , hmm?- @DoYaSeeMe "Apex reached 70 million players before duos."
Yeah i remember the earnings call, It was a pump fake...The stock took a 5% loss after it.
Apex reached 50 million after its first month, Getting 20 million hits in a 7 month window for a triple A free to play game is meaningless when they dont speak on retention or revenue. It only points out how much the growth has slowed.
Heres what we do know...

Heres what i know....Players dont stick around, Go solo que and see how experienced the players your getting qued with are lol.
The game has little retention and im sure that teams are not fully at fault, Im sure season (whatever season we are on) has alot to do with it aswell.
