For a long time, the Apex Legends community have taken issue with the devs when it comes to ranked play, with many pleading for changes as the system pushed \u201cratters\u201d to hide from their opponents rather than playing as intended in hopes of ranking up. With the release of Season 19, the devs attempted to tackle the issue head-on, forcing players to complete promotional trials to prove their worth before they can rank up to the next tier. However, the community is already hitting out at the change, claiming it\u2019s \u201cruining\u201d the game Apex Legends fans claim Promotional Trials \u201cruins\u201d the game In a November 5 Reddit thread, one Apex Legends player started a discussion regarding Promotional Trials, which they claim is \u201cruining the quality of the game.\u201d \u201cRatting and avoiding fights has always been an issue in ranked,\u201d they explained. \u201cBut with the promotional trials requiring multiple top 5s or wins to rank up it\u2019s encouraging this behavior exponentially more. \u201cPretty much every game we would take a fight and our third would dip immediately \u2014 including fights where we had the clear upper hand like when one of the enemies was knocked or we had better positioning.\u201d They added: \u201cAs more and more people get stuck in the promotional trials it\u2019s going to lead to extremely passive behavior across the board \u2014 everybody playing selfishly and trying to get their top 5 rather than playing as a team or working together. And it\u2019s ruining the quality of the game even more.\u201d Others in the replies agreed, with some claiming the concept of promotional trials is \u201chorrible\u201d and that instead of discouraging ratting, the change is only increasing it. The devs are yet to respond to concerns from the community.
