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?

@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 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.- @Fingrpistols Thanks for the links. I don't see anything unusual there. This is not a game for everyone, it's a hardcore shooter. It's amazing that it even reached such big numbers and earnings. The fall is just the hype bubble bursting, otherwise I'm pretty sure the game is still miles above the projected expectations.
I'd say the retention is very good. I'm still amazed by the amount of cash players are throwing on cosmetics in a first person shooter Also, the fact that many people are whining for months instead of moving on just enforces how strong Apex's hooks are.
