- @berlin433 My numbers are about the same as normal.
Are your numbers ranked only? Is it because you are fighting less?
From what I have found through the years KD and win rate are easily manipulated by play style. Aggressors will a lot of times have higher kds and lower win rates. Rotators will have better win rates and top 5s but lower kds. This season ranked had a huge change. There's literally no reason to fight for the first 10 minutes of a ranked game. - HappyHourSumwur3 years agoSeasoned Ace
@berlin433Lower KDR and win % than last season. By now, I know that is where I'll land. Only takes a week or two to know how the season is gonna go and this season is going to be an uphill climb all the way.
I fully agree with you.
With the new ranked system I have become more of a rotator and my win% and top 5% has significantly increased while my KD has taken a bit of a hit.
- @berlin433 I played maybe like 30 games by now since new season, and my kd also tanked a little and dropped from 1.91 to something like 1.65 or so.
I’m Right now in silver one and the games feel like algs with people camping in every building and most people avoiding to fight till 10 squads are alive.
Gg respawn you actually made casual ranked as boring as algs much love.
I understand what you tried to do with your attempt to only value placement so people without any kind of aim can still hit diamond and above. But please wake the hell up it’s a god damn competitive shooter stop trying to make it as easy as possible to reach high ranks… I see what you are getting at but ranked is competitive (not casual) and of course the goal is to win and or place high with some KP to go with it as well. It is not a a mode for lets go all guns blasting and die in a blaze of glory.
If you want more of a fun casual play, then pubs is the place to go in the BR format.
Otherwise there are the Mixed Tape games.
I am currently adjusting to the new Ranked changes and will save my full judgment as to the changes for about another 30 days or so.
So far I am not all that much of a fan of the ambiguous placement matches. Felt strange being placed in Rookie after placing top 10 in 70% (two top 10) of the matches and top 5 in 50% with a win to boot (5 top 5's inc the W).
@Asmodeus566Sorry mate but here you are wrong, the reality is that ranked is more casual than ever before. If you can camp your way up to pred with 0 dmg than there is a serious problem…
Time is valued more than anything else now, I mean cmon you have to see the problem here.
As i Said i understand what their intention was but it shifted completely in the opposite direction.
And btw if you wanna win algs you will actually have to fight. Kill kp is an essential part of reaching the points needed to win that thing.
Also why do you believe a battle Royale would be only about placing high and kp just beeing a side thing ? It’s called battle not camp Royale.
By that logic everyone should get minus points aside from the winner because only they won and all other 19 teams lost.
There needs to be a balance between placement and kp and this is clearly not given when I go out in silver wtih minus points when I have 6 kills and place 11 lol. While team 10 goes out with plus 20 with 0 kp and dmg …This has absolutely zero to do with competition.what you might not see here, but team 10 only placed 10th because my team dropped 2 teams and us dropping after. So if we didn’t fight the before 10th team would’ve gone out as 13th. So the only reason they actually got points was because other people fought… that sounds very deserving and competitive, great players Ngl
That’s just boring gameplay that only values time and nothing else.keep in mind in algs there are no multipliers for kp, wich means kills always have the same value. Having 6kp gives more points than placing 4th… even if you would go out as 16th. That’s how it should be, the whole multiplier system is horrible I am surprised that respawn still didn’t get it when even algs is not using such a terrible system

I agree with you that the new system has many flaws. However a lot of this is due to the MMR in conjunction with the new point system.
I really do not think you or me for that matter would be able to camp to pred. High MMR players like the person that made Pred in 50 games without causing any dmg or making any kills can (sad) and that is because they are getting way to many LP for doing nothing while in comparison lower MMR players are winning games with kills and getting comparatively lower LP. Also that person did get bonus points for what the other teammates did KP wise. So it is not like they did it alone.
Placement should be king as the goal of Ranked is actually winning and placing high, getting 6-12 KP and bowing out at 15th place is not winning, however I do not see it as a total loss and with that amount of KP one should at that point at least break even.
- @matzesingt I said this in another thread and you hit it on the head. There was balance to ranked pre-season 13. A killer could get points and a rotator could get points. Now you need to afk for 10 to 15 minutes to get points.
I want people to think about that. If a game is 22 minutes, you cannot do anything for over half the game. So let's say you have 3 top 5s in a row. That's an hour of play time with over a half hour of nothing. I personally only have so much time to play. I'm not doing that.
I got yelled at in bronze the other day for pushing. Funnily the randoms had no issue following as I killed people. The moment we died tho I got the "Bro your too good at the game. You should know better." 🤣 - @berlin433 My 1st 15 games I was above 1 for the 1st time in a along time. Apex didn't like that & now I'm in diamond lobbies every game.
