Apex Legends dev reveals potential Ranked changes coming in the future Respawn\/EAAn Apex Legends dev has lifted the lid on some potential changes that could be coming to Ranked play, as well as touching on just how they\u2019re trying to keep hackers away from genuine matches. While most Apex Legends players stick to normal battle royale mode, there are plenty of others who want to test their skills against the best and rise up the ranks of the different in-game leaderboards. That\u2019s where Ranked mode comes into play. Players can put their Ranked Points on the line in a bid to move up the ranks, with the hopes of one day becoming an Apex Predator. However, the mode isn\u2019t entirely perfect. Players have called for different changes to Ranked Points, legend balancing, and even potentially paying cash to keep hackers out of the mode. Well, Respawn\u2019s John \u2018JayBiebs\u2019 Larson has lifted the lid on a few potential changes that could be made to the mode, touching on how they\u2019ve listened to fan suggestions for certain things, but aren\u2019t quite sure of them. Speaking on the Apex Uncut podcast, the Apex dev suggested that increasing the level requirement for Ranked is one of the more \u201cfeasible\u201d options out there, but there is a flip side, given that you might lock people out who\u2019ve only just hit the current level requirement. On the topic of adding two-factor authentication to keep hackers out, JayBiebs was a bit dismissive of that being the solution. \u201cFrom what I\u2019ve heard, I don\u2019t think two-factor authentication works quite as well as some may believe it to, because you can always spoof,\u201d he said, but noted there is action being taken on cleaning up ranked. Another highly-requested addition surrounds decay on RP for inactive players, so they can\u2019t shoot to the top and then hog the spots while not playing. \u201cCan\u2019t make any promises, but it is something we\u2019re aware of and looking into,\u201d the dev said. On top of that, players have also asked for a map rotation that mimics that of the normal mode. Larson noted that it is something that Respawn has considered but it has its drawbacks too, especially surrounding RP farming. Changes could be in the offing for the Ranked mode in the future, but we\u2019ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
