ImperialHal claims Apex Legends \u201cf**ked\u201d itself by making Ranked changes too late TSM\/RespawnTSM star Philip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen believes Respawn \u201cf*cked\u201d Apex Legends by making the Ranked mode so easy for so long, and that\u2019s why players are leaving now. Pretty much since Apex Legends first launched back in February 2019, there have been tonnes of complaints about Ranked Play. The mode is designed to let players test themselves against the best of the best, but it\u2019s not always been that way. Early on in Ranked\u2019s lifecycle, players were able to qualify for top levels and then give up on the game for a while, essentially hogging the top spots and keeping them locked from other players. In Season 13, Respawn eventually addressed this issue with a change to how Ranked points work. It\u2019s now viewed as being much more difficult to achieve the Apex Predator and Master levels, and that has driven some players away. ImperialHal believes Apex Legends \u201cf*cked\u201d itself with Ranked changes According to Hal, it has all been self-inflicted by Respawn, and had they made a change sooner, they wouldn\u2019t be seeing players walk away now. \u201cApex has completely fucked themselves with the ranked system because they made it so easy for so long,\u201d he said during a recent stream. \u201cThey basically built a player foundation on an easy ranked system and if you ever want to backpedal out of that it\u2019s going to be very hard because you\u2019re dealing with a lot of players. \u201cIf they started the way they did with Season 13 in the beginning, they wouldn\u2019t be losing players.\u201d Timestamp of 0:40 Hal\u2019s reference to players walking away from the battle royale is backed up by SteamChart\u2019s data, which says the average player count has dropped by over 35,000 in the last month. Apex is still in a pretty healthy position, though, with an average of around 200,000 players. Though, he might not be completely off base with his take.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
