Apex Legends players are a dedicated bunch, with hardcore fans grinding the ranked ladder every day since the shooter launched over three years ago now. Although developer Respawn Entertainment has offered changes to the ranked system, the EA-published title still has continually left players wanting more.

In the comment section, many Apex Legends players shared their thoughts about what it would mean if their game had the same requirement. Although winning 50 casual matches on Apex Legends would take an absurd amount of time, Apex fans simply demand a barrier of entry to the game\u2019s ranked mode. One user said, \u201cApex mobile has a similar requirement.

It\u2019s part of the reason cheaters and Smurfs are such an issue. It literally takes like 2-3 hours to get to the level needed to go into ranked games.\u201d An Apex Legends fan jokingly added, \u201cThe last thing that Respawn needs to do is to take notes from Blizzard, lol.\u201d Despite players not wanting an exact version of Overwatch 2\u2019s barrier of entry introduced into Apex Legends, dedicated fans would like to see a stronger barrier of entry implemented to protect the sanctity of the ranked ladder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends players demand Overwatch 2 style changes to ranked EARespawn Entertainment is being urged by Apex Legends ranked players to \u201ctake note\u201d of how Overwatch 2 is changing its competitive modes.
