#SaveApexRanked trends on Twitter as top players call for changes Respawn EntertainmentA ton of Apex Legends streamers and players are calling on Respawn to do something to stop the battle royale\u2019s ranked mode from \u201cspiraling out of control\u201d from cheaters by getting #SaveApexRanked trending. One of the biggest issues for Apex players of all sorts over the last few months has been what seems like the constant presence of cheaters and DDoSers in matches. If you\u2019ve played the battle royale even semi-regularly over the last few months you\u2019ve probably noticed one or two players who seem to have invested in a brand-new gaming chair recently, matches ending unexpectedly, or a nice frustrating mixture of both. The same day Respawn said they were looking at various options to improve their methods of detecting and banning cheaters, Sweet, an Apex Twitch streamer and NRG pro, put out a Twitlonger on June 28 that basically summarizes the communities problems with how devs are handling, or not handling cheaters. An open letter to Apex Legends developers Empty Promises and False Hope. #SaveApexRanked before it’s too late. Read: https:\/\/t.co\/ruTdiQ7FGN \u2014 sweet (@sweetdreams) June 28, 2021 In the post, Sweet said he and other Apex content creators came up with the #SaveApexRanked hashtag because they could no longer sit by and watch \u201cthe game spiral further out of control.\u201d \u201cRanked is the backbone of apex and we can\u2019t take it much longer,\u201d the NRG pro wrote. \u201cWe have been offered empty promises of focus on the issue, which from a results standpoint have been complete lies.\u201d The problem isn\u2019t just cheating in games, but also DDoS attacks against Apex\u2019s servers when one of the cheaters does get knocked out. \u201cThis issue is not only a NA\/EU one, which all times of day you can almost 100% get a cheater in your lobby who even IF killed, will IMMEDIATELY DDOS the server and take it down so nobody can continue to play, and you then queue into the next game with them again,\u201d Sweet explained. \u201cThere are entire regions who are unable to play the game due to this, it\u2019s sad. I sparingly use the word pathetic, but in this case it really has been pathetic to watch cheaters all but control the ranked ladder for the better part of 7 months.\u201d #SaveApexRanked starts trending It didn\u2019t take long at all for the hashtag Sweet included with his Twitlonger, #SaveApexRanked, to start trending on Twitter with players and influencers alike tweeting out the tag. If you like ranked, or just wanna help the game to be better, very simply, fucking tweet out #SaveApexRanked \u2014 Rogue (@TTrebb) June 28, 2021 Like we mentioned, this all comes the same day as Respawn detailed how they were \u201cpursuing several options\u201d to fix this very issue, but whether or not they\u2019ll respond to this latest push from the community remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
