Albralelie claims Apex Legends ranked is broken after NICKMERCS, CouRage climb to Masters Twitch: NICKMERCS \/ LiquidpediaAfter seeing streamers like Nicholas \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff and Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop reach Masters \u2014 and even Predator \u2014 in Apex Legends without breaking a sweat, Mac \u2018Albralelie\u2019 Beckwith explained why the system is broken. Ever since some of the biggest Warzone streamers like NICKMERCS and CouRage jumped ship to Apex Legends, they\u2019ve been dominating in ranked games and quickly hit Masters \u2014 the game\u2019s second-highest rank. It\u2019s not surprising since their skills are crazy. However, it\u2019s left people wondering it\u2019s far too easy for relatively new players to break into the upper echelons despite having very little knowledge about the game itself. Albralelie weighed in on the situation and claimed that it isn\u2019t \u201csad\u201d to see them pull it off because they\u2019re \u201cpros in other games\u201d and \u201calready really talented.\u201d However, he believes it proves the ranked system is \u201cnot really that good.\u201d \u201cI think it says a lot about the ranked ladder and how it\u2019s not really that good when it comes to actually being a meaningful ranked ladder,\u201d he said. \u201cYou don\u2019t need game knowledge to get a high rank, which is really bad.\u201d \u201cI can\u2019t think of any other game that has ranked where you don\u2019t need game knowledge to get to the highest ranks.\u201d Albralelie didn\u2019t discredit NICKMERCS and CouRage for doing what they did. Instead, he focused on what their dominance means in terms of the game itself, sparking a conversation about how it can be improved moving forward. Albralelie called for sweeping changes in Season 11, including adding demotion from every rank above Gold. This has been echoed by other pros and streamers including Phillip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen. In the end, though, popular streamers like them are still a net positive for the Apex Legends community. Not only do they draw in new players with their daily streams, but their impact will help the game shine on for many years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
