ImperialHal wants Apex Legends Ranked to be more punishing to improve matches Respawn Entertainment\/Twitch: ImperialHalTSM star Philip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen believes Apex Legends\u2019 new Ranked system is a \u201cgood step forward\u201d but he\u2019s still got some ideas for change \u2013 especially to try and mirror ALGS matches. Ever since Season 2, if you want to really see how you stack up against the elite players in Apex Legends, you\u2019ve had to hit the Ranked leaderboards. Though, that hasn\u2019t always been plain sailing for players. Over the last few years, fans have constantly urged Respawn to make changes to Ranked. Initially, their complaints were with those players who\u2019d hog the high spots in Apex Predator and then stop playing. Then, attention switched to how games were being set up. Gold and diamond players were able to match with bronze and able to farm pretty much every game. In Season 18, the battle royale devs have made a few changes to those they made in Season 17, buffing elimination bonuses, decreasing the LP gains to balance out rank distribution, and adjusting the timing of the ring. ImperialHal wants \u2018heavier\u2019 consequences in Apex Legends Ranked Those changes appear to have gone down well with many players, including ImperialHal. The TSM IGL called the new system a \u201cgood step forward,\u201d but he would also like to see games have more consequences. \u201cI disagree, there will always be a \u201chot drop\u201d no matter if there\u2019s 20 good POIs. This current ranked system is a good step forward but the consequences aren\u2019t heavy enough yet to stop teams from dying early,\u201d Hal said, disagreeing with his own teammate Evan \u2018Verhulst\u2019 Verhulst over the idea of adding more POIs to maps to avoid hot drops in Ranked. \u201cThink about it\u2026 what are the consequences of dying early in ALGS? Losing money\u2026 Opportunity\u2026 etc which is why there\u2019s always so many people alive in actual tournaments. Ranked doesn\u2019t haven\u2019t to 1:1 mirror the consequences but it can be in its own way like heavier loss in LP or more time in Que etc just like Season 13 was.\u201d While some fans disagreed with the idea of tougher consequences for dying sooner and off hot drops, Hal noted that players with that mentality will end up in the same rank as each other anyway. \u201cThat\u2019s fine those people will eventually de-rank and be in the lobbies of like minds and the same with higher tiers which is the point, everyone goes where they should be because of consequences,\u201d he added. We\u2019re only in the early stages of the new season, so problems could arise as things progress. Though, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see what happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
