I’m looking to improve my game in Apex Legends, especially in ranked matches. What strategies do you use to increase your chances of winning?

That is not very helpful nor nice.
Try to stay on Topic.
Position is King.
Learn when and how to rotate to be in a good position in the ring. Do not wait until the last second to rotate.
Inside the ring find good defensible and if possible high ground areas to hold.
Holding chokepoints is good.
Having to rotate through contested chokepoints is bad.
Learn when to not push fights that are not good fights and reset/rotate away. Do not overcommit to a losing battle.
3 stacking helps a lot especially with comms.
If you are three stacking, one player needs to take charge of the team IGL them. The others need to listen to the IGL.
Die a lot, it is going to happen anyways. Think of the last 20 seconds before each time and what you could have done better and then think about the last minute before that. Learn from your mistakes. If you record that stuff you can review it.
Best of Luck.
Work on improving your basic gun skills, the above is great but if you cannot hit a target they wont help. However you can have mad gun skills but if you cannot learn the above it is harder to win games.
@RaginSam is pretty on point with what they mentioned "Staying alive over trying to fight everything. Fight for positioning, not for KP.
Prioritize getting to into the circle, rather than trying to gate keep, unless you have a really good position to do so. Like on top of a building, overseeing the nearest lane to zone.
Work with teammates, keep them up, revive, give cover when they're behind and need to retreat"
@Asmodeus566 "Position is King."
I would say my BEST strategy suggestion to win more ranked games would be to find people you know to play with and have similar interest in terms of gameplay.
I personally watch A LOT of competitive Apex because I love the strategic approach thats required. So I know something about the possible end circle locations, god (game winning) spots etc helping me to play this game better as I cant keep up mechanically or aim wise.
Reason why I dont win that many games (EDIT: besides me having 0 movement skills and below average MnK aim) is I only play soloQ since I dont really have any IRL gaming friends nor am I interested in making new ones from the internet.
Countless times have I dragged my randoms to good spot and told them to just lay low for a while. Get some kills when circles start closing okay?
And how many times have my adderall randos ran away after some KP and lost us the game just because they couldnt wait one full minute for the ring to land on us.
Without teamwork the position isnt really a factor for the win.
Made a meme. Hope it brings you a smile on your ranked struggles.
"Without teamwork the position isnt really a factor for the win."
Ahhh, well said and very true. Teamwork makes the dream work.
However I tend to put myself in the position of playing with a full premade stack so positioning is still king 🙂
