Apex Legends dev confirms big changes for broken Ranked Arenas Respawn\/EAThe Ranked Arenas mode in Apex Legends is set to undergo a handful of big changes, especially when it comes to matchmaking and Arena Points. For most Apex players, the only way to play the game is to jump into the normal battle royale but there are different ways to play as well. Arenas was added to the mix at the start of Season 9: Legacy, and the mode has proven to be a hit. The unique 3v3 fight mode has its own economy and smaller maps, making for some fast-paced gameplay that is different from what you\u2019d usually expect. Though, while the mode has been popular, it has issues, especially in Ranked play. Fans have complained about the matchmaking \u2013 with random teams being wildly unbalanced at times \u2013 as well as the distribution of Arenas Points (AP). Yet, that all looks set to change. On October 7, complaints were once again aired by players who noted that their grind was all for naught after losing one match, given they lost more of their AP in the process. Responding to one annoyed played, Robert West \u2013 one of Respawn\u2019s senior devs for Apex \u2013 said tev hat positive changes are in the works. \u201cWe\u2019re working on making the Ranked Arenas experience better! We have some matchmaking and AP improvements in the pipe and will of course keep updating as we go,\u201d the dev said, noting that there bug fixes to come as well. We’re working on making the Ranked Arenas experience better! We have some matchmaking and AP improvements in the pipe and will of course keep updating as we go. I know of 1 bug at least that we’re investigating and will hopefully have a fix for soon. More in \ud83e\uddf5 \u2014 Robert West (@RoboB0b_) October 8, 2021 West noted that the extreme loss of Arenas Points comes either because your AP is way higher than your MMR but this \u201cshouldn\u2019t really ever happen.\u201d Secondly, if you lose to a much lower-rated team, you may also lose big points, but this is also being addressed. \u201cThis should also be better after the update,\u201d he added. Second is if you lose to a lower rated team. Thankfully, we have some updates coming that I think will make this much better. Lower ranked teammates usually just means their MMR is close to yours but they haven\u2019t grinded as much AP. This should also be better after the update\u2014 Robert West (@RoboB0b_) October 8, 2021 Unfortunately, there is no timeline on when these adjustments will be rolled out, but knowing they\u2019re coming should encourage Arenas players to fight on and not quit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
