When it comes to proving you\u2019re the best of the best in Apex, there\u2019s only one virtual battleground to do it on \u2013 Apex\u2019s Ranked mode. Though it has been criticized has been players over the last few seasons \u2013 especially with the way points and ranks are dished out \u2013 it is still home to the most competitive players out there. Some players have urged Respawn to take the mode back under the knife and make some further changes, mainly with rewards, but there is another problem brewing. Instead of jumping into their home server, some players are instead using underpopulated servers \u2013 mainly Bahrain 2 \u2013 to queue up against lower-ranked and skilled players in a bid to farm RP and keep their top-tier ranks. Apex Legends players \u201cabusing\u201d unpopulated servers in Ranked It\u2019s an issue that has been highlighted by Apex YouTuber Garret, who noted that he\u2019s had plenty of DM\u2019s from players who have witnessed Predator taking advantage of this, and playing against Bronzes. As a result, players have urged Respawn to make a change and prevent this practice from propping up some Predator players. \u201cAll they need to do is make it so that once you have masters or specifically pred, they begin to limit the servers you can transfer to,\u201d said one. \u201cI hope full cross-play is enabled because solo only cross-play with other console or pc only is also helping abusing matchmaking like this,\u201d added another. \u201cThe only fix is to force players on the lowest ping server \u2026 then its FIXED,\u201d commented another frustrated fan. Some players noted that the underpopulated server can take hours to find a game, and then even when a game is made, the ping is super high because of players coming from further afield. \u201cBahrain servers are actually really empty, we need more players to queue for a match faster, but unfortunately no one plays in this server because of that issue,\u201d added another player. It remains to be seen if Respawn will address the issue any time soon, or if it will continue to be a bugbear for fans in the Middle East.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends players are \u201cabusing\u201d small servers for easy Predator rank badge Respawn\/EAApex Legends players want Respawn to make some changes to way the servers and Apex Predators work, as some are taking advantage of underpopulated servers.
