what's the point of ranked if you're penalized for playing good rounds and rewarded for playing bad ones?
I really only play apex from time to time and am bronze at the moment, but get ranked with platinum players every round. However, cannot play with friends who are platinum. Sense?
A friend of mine gets bad lobbies every round as he's really no good (0.4k/d) and is now currently diamond just for playing for placement. As a diamond player, he has easier lobbies than I do with bronze!
Prior to this season, he just barely made gold 1. In summary, the developers have really done everything wrong that can be done wrong. Ranked is dead. Will only play again as soon as something changes fundamentally. By far the worst season!!!
Ok, the MM in ranked isnt that bad since i reached diamond/masters imho ... i dont mind that the games are very challenging at times ( am i the only one without a dive trail ? lol) but you dont get those 50kill teammates anymore ... and thats what i wanted from the begin with.
In pubs it is still the same as it ever was, 9 out of 10 games you get the low kill count casual that plays an incompatible playstyle to me (frustrating for them and for me) ... i dont feel any changes being applied there.
