NICKMERCS calls for major change to Apex Legends ranked play NICKMERCS \/ RespawnPopular streamer Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff has explained why he thinks Apex Legends\u2019 ranked mode needs to change. Apex Legends\u2019 ranked mode is incredibly competitive. Not only does it allow players to flex their skills over the game\u2019s best players, but it also enables you to face off against similarly ranked players. While the mode isn\u2019t free from problems, the competitive aspect of the game continues to draw in players from all over the world. One player that has been infatuated with Apex Legends\u2019 ranked matches is NICKMERCS. In fact, the popular streamer has been busy grinding out matches with the hopes of getting to the lofty heights of the Predator rank. However, during a recent stream, Nick highlighted one major change he\u2019d like to see added to the competitive mode. NICKMERCS on Apex Legends ranked mode While it can be tricky to climb up Apex Legends\u2019 ranked ladder, your ranking cannot drop from one tier to another. Once you successfully make it to one tier, you\u2019ll not be demoted the rank below. This essentially means you can lose matches with the safety of knowing your rank will never decay. \u201cI think this game has one of the best ranked modes ever created,\u201d said Nick. I think it\u2019s actually perfect, aside from one thing. I don\u2019t believe in the ranked protection. You should be able to lose and drop out of ranks.\u201d In its current state, there\u2019s nothing really stopping players from either trolling or just going on a huge losing streak. It\u2019s this overall safety that Nick believes is stopping the mode from being as competitive as it can be. \u201cI think that [ranked protection] promotes careless gameplay because you know that no matter what, you have this net that you can\u2019t go under,\u201d said Nick. \u201cThough I love to play crazy and get loose, I still don\u2019t think it should be in the game. It kind of hurts the game in some ways.\u201d Aside from this small change, Nick believes that Apex Legends\u2019 ranked system is pretty much perfect. Whether Respawn will make adjustments to the mode remains to be seen, but for now, there\u2019s nothing stopping players from comfortably grinding tiers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
