Apex Legends ranked plagued by \u201c12-man teams\u201d cheating to Pred RespawnApex Legends cheating conundrum infects every corner of Ranked, as players blast the \u201c12-man team\u201d takeover. Apex Legends has come a long way since it arrived in 2019, with twenty seasons of updates significantly changing the state of the game. However, one of the remaining constants has been cheating\/hacking, and it\u2019s been worse than ever this season alone. The middle of March saw the notoriously large ALGS hack during the NA Finals. Meanwhile, the Ranked experience is full of \u201c12-man teams,\u201d aka high-ranking players refusing to fight each other as they gang up on the \u201csmall guy\u201d to \u201cearn\u201d the higher ranks. The Apex Legends subreddit is full of posts ripping into the state of Ranked, with players begging Respawn Entertainment to act, given they might lose their hard-earned experience to cheaters. Despite the pleas, the previously mentioned ALGS hack has seemingly raised a layer of distrust among the fans. One such reply highlighted that sentiment: \u201cIt\u2019s gotta be worse because the ALGS hack clearly showed Respawn\/EA can\u2019t do sh*t about hacking or cheating. They aren\u2019t gonna fix it or ban anyone, so what\u2019s the risk in cheating?\u201d Other sentiments shared the game\u2019s over-reliance on bundles and the in-game shop versus working on the state of Apex Legends. \u201cYou want more shitty lore, overpriced skins, and collection events? I got you \u2013 Respawn, probably,\u201d one player jested. Posts and comments like these are a dime a dozen in the Apex subreddit, yet they highlight a steady concern each new Apex Legends season comes and goes leaving community irritations unchecked. How Respawn and EA opt to reassure the player base will be a sight to see, although meaningful change may be quite a ways off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
