Apex Legends players demand fix for \u201cflawed\u201d ranked progression system Respawn EntertainmentApex legends players are finding the ranked progression in the battle royale to be \u201cinexcusably flawed,\u201d citing issues such as inconsistent point distribution, and imbalanced matchmaking lobbies. Even with the success of the Old Ways lore event, players are noticing that Apex\u2019s ranked component still leaves a lot to be desired, especially at the higher tiers of matchmaking. Progressing through ranks hits a wall of sorts, and the community feel like it\u2019s time for there to be some meaningful changes to a few facets of the mode. \u201cThe progression system of ranking up is inexcusably flawed and for me it\u2019s quickly stripping all of my will to continue playing this game,\u201d user \u2018scallywaggin\u2019 said. The player believes a few factors are contributing to the lackluster experiences from ranked games. They say that the matchmaking pools in Apex boil down to two factions: Gold ranked players and below, and then everyone else. Scallywaggin explained: \u201cThe matchmaking pool when you reach platinum is the polar opposite of prior ranks. It seems that there are only two pools of players and that there\u2019s not any kind of sliding scale at all.\u201d That problem is only exacerbated by the \u201cwonky\u201d points that make it difficult for people in higher elo matches to come out even in case they don\u2019t have a good game. \u201cThe fact that a Platinum IV player is required to maintain a KDR of 3.0+ in lobbies with Predators to just break even [that makes ranked Apex suck],\u201d they said. \u201cGod forbid you to have the errant teammate (which obviously happens constantly) who\u2019s out alone trying to 1v6.\u201d This creates a situation, according to scallywaggin, in which players will camp more than look to fight since \u201cthe design of the RP reward system [encourages] players to abandon teammates and camp the circle.\u201d While these aren\u2019t easy issues to fix, they still want Respawn to work on how ranked works. \u201cI\u2019m frustrated. I just want to be rewarded for doing well, punished for doing poorly, and feel good about my rank. None of this is what happens for players like me in Apex,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
