In the past few seasons of Apex Legends, developer Respawn Entertainment has made tweaks and changes to the way Ranked works. While many players have called Ranked in Season 20 one of the best seasons in recent memory, it seems not every player feels the same way. Now, some players in the higher ranks have taken to social media to vent their frustration about the solo queue experience in Ranked during Season 20, and why matchmaking needs to be fixed. Apex Legends solo queue players frustrated with Ranked mode A post on the Apex Legends subreddit sparked a discussion among fans after one user named trachion made a thread titled, \u201cSolo Queue Ranked is practically impossible.\u201d The OP made it clear at the beginning of their post that this was not aimed at \u201d the challenges of having bad teamwork, or the disadvantage of being randoms vs 3 stack,\u201d but instead at solo queue matchmaking. \u201c\u2026What has been happening almost every game, is getting teammates that are in Plat, sometimes as low as Plat IV, and being paired up against 3 stacks of pros,\u201d the player claimed. They go on to explain that the mode feels \u201d frustrating for literally everybody.\u201d Many in the comments vented their own frustration with solo queuing in Season 20. \u201cSame experience except I\u2019m your teammate,\u201d said one player. \u201cTrust me I hate it just as much as you do. I hate feeling like I\u2019m being put in your backpack, but I\u2019m just not good enough mechanically to keep up. Plat is the new Diamond.\u201d Alternately, many fans felt that Masters and Predator rank players should simply have longer queue times to get matched with players who are actually in their ranks. \u201cExpand queue times for Masters and Preds but let them f*ck around in the Range while they wait or something\u2026 I get complaining when your livelihood is streaming and you have 20+ minute queue times, it\u2019s understandable, but then fix how the queue dead time works,\u201d argued one player. While players have certainly come to appreciate some of the more recent Ranked system changes, it seems rank placement is still a hot topic among many Apex Legends fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends players call out \u201cnightmare\u201d solo queue experience in Season 20 Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends fans have taken to social media to vent the \u201cnightmare\u201d solo queue experience some players have gone through in Ranked during Season 20.
