The Achilles heel of Apex Legends has always been Ranked, with the devs reworking the mode countless times over the years. It felt like no matter what Respawn tried, the community wasn't satisfied, and the competitive mode simply didn't function as intended.
As it's meant to be the ultimate environment for testing your skills and climbing the ladder, it has to be balanced perfectly. Well, while the devs haven't quite nailed it just yet, players are already dubbing Season 20's Ranked as the "best it's ever been."
Apex Legends Ranked heralded as the "best it's ever been"
Taking to the Apex Legends subreddit, the community have decided to give the devs some credit and celebrate Ranked in its current state.
The most positive changes for fans have been the removal of RNG armour, a fresh EVO system that encourages more playstyles, a perk system that's made more legends viable, the fact that kills and placement both matter now, and finally that lobbies overall feel more balanced.
"Yeah, I'd agree I always feel like I have a chance, even if my guys die off the drop," said one user, with another claiming, "There has never been a better season of Apex, many of my friends who quit the game completely have come back and described the sensation as addictive."
This is a huge step forward for the devs who have been going around in circles with Ranked for such a long time. Aside from a few flaws to iron out, they could be on the cusp of knocking it out of the park this time.
Apex fans think placement just needs to be fixed to make Ranked "perfect"
To make Ranked "perfect," the community have asked for one specific problem to be addressed, and that's placement. Fans would just prefer if placement was a little more balanced and rewarded a little more, as going for kills is still the best way to climb.
"It needs a slight tweak to reward placement a bit more, as it's a bit 'apey' at the moment, but I’m loving all the changes in general," said one user, as another concluded, "I'd be happy with the system if placement was a bit more rewarding."
Respawn always have their eyes on the community's feedback, so let's hope this gets implemented soon.
