He is telling the truth. Most Masters players are actually dogshit at the game and had to 3 stack to achieve their rank. If Respawn weren't subhuman they would release a ranked trio mode where you have to go in solo. That would be a true test of actual skill.

[@Meowthix]

I was super disapointed when I hit D3, getting diamond for the first time this season, to learn it was changed and i never learnt of it. Finally being able to test myself against masters/preds outside of pubs where the gamestate was bonked was most of the reason i wasn't content with hitting diamond and stopped. I had been playing with master players outside of ranked and they had given me a huge confidence boost so, i was curious if i was as good as they said or if they were just being nice.

[@3ildcard]

I like your idea with Diamonds being introduced to the Masters/Pred lobbies early on but that'd also mean separate 3 stacks that hold hand and solo players. There is so much wrong with Ranked that i highly doubt it can be perfectly balanced. But demotion/deranking is a good start since it'd ensure only premades/stacks or actually good players would make it to the higher ranks therefore it'd be easier for the solos too since then you'll be matched with better players or at least ones around your skill level. Split 1 was such a joke that Gold lobbies were way more fun to play and also had way better players than the so called masters and diamonds.

[@NZealandese]

Having some sort of damage threshold every round should mitigate this problem. I noticed this being used in competitive Fortnite a while back(idk if they still use it), Consequences for not reaching it should be rp loss(or something which would not benifit the player in game). Edit: In Fortnite it is called the 'Storm Surge' mechanic, seems like a fair way of weeding out the ratters

i reached plat this season. i think the placement RP system just made it faster for me to reach that rank. i was killing people how i normally would but the placement boosted it up a bit. and that's pretty much where my skill level should take me. PLATINUM. i refused to rat around to get higher RP and i'm staying in plat. diamonds and above always kicked my butt too easily so i refuse to be put in the same lobbies as them by being a rat.

[@TheWindows72306]

This video is the definition of : Rich people saying money doesn't matter. Beautiful people saying good looks do not matter. Skillful people saying skills only contribute to only 10% of the result. I personally disagree. The rank is kinda stupid but it doesn't mean it's useless. The only fix I would put in the video is that different servers, regions and platforms contribute to different difficulty levels. Rank can separate the good ones from the bad ones. I mean ratting and avoiding enemies is a kind of skill. This is a battle royale. Anything can be a skill. You a good camper? Thats a skill. You a good fighter? Thats a skill. You a good run away from the fight and survives at top 3 everytime? Thats a skill. This game is dynamic and not JUST a fighting game. Thats just your personal preference. For example, taken from my personal experience playing apex for a very long time already, SG server is one of if not the hardest server filled with sweats and pros and unfortunately most closet cheaters with scripts. Different server gives different chance of meeting good/sweaty/camping/cheating players. SG is the server with a high chance of getting sweaty/pro/closet cheater server type, JP is the server with a high chance to meet tactical/camping and fairly low chance of cheating players, and if you manage to get to server filled with Aussies, you get a mixed of both servers mentioned before. RANK DOESN'T MATTER ONLY when you compare different platforms and server locations fundamentally. It is only fair if you compare with all the constant being the same such as same server, and same platform. For example again, my Master PS5 friend from another region [I met him online and we become friends], never win against me 1v1 in firing range [Yes, Never] even though my highest rank is just -100rp below Diamond 2, and again he is a Master, 3 times in a row at that. But then is he noober than me? No. Because he camps and reposition better than me, just because I win in 1 section against that guy doesnt mean I am better than him overall. Conclusion, this game is dynamic, any type of gameplay is acceptable. This is not some 'Hey this is an only fighting game so you must ignore other not famous skills and fight, coz i said so hurr durr".

I got master last season and last split and if you are playing normal (going for fights and only rat if your team died) its not much of a difference.

people for some reason make it sound like masters is easy to get even with the rp change but if you look at last splits rank distribution it does show a lot more people got masters but at the same time there's only a small amount of people that got masters compared to every other rank. I think it said something like masters went up to 5 or 6% of players and pred was around 0.5 or 1% so it's still a massive achievement if you can do it as a solo. *DON'T LISTEN TO THE HATERS*

[@idontwant2beasoldiermama241]

This is not a fighting game, the main goal it's not to fight, this is a battle royale game, the point of it is to survive. So it makes sense that they designed the system like that, in a game like Third party legends, even escaping or hiding at higher ranks, takes thought and skill. It's chaotic af to be running from a 4th party with 1hp and then you realize you're in front of a rat from another team, so you fight. They probably wanted to replicate the feeling of the hunger games as close as possible, where you got people of different skills, and different IQ, different strategies. The game is probably healthier than just go around and be like "bbrrre go bullets brrr" as it targets a larger amount of audience

@@NZealandese look. As much as people wanna call it what they will. There are defensive legends specifically that play in a corner in a building. You can't just use a mechanic like that because there are legitimate strategies being used that cater to being in a holed up place. I get you on the not ratting. But it's a much bigger factor. Imagine you are one of the teams that got 3 squad kills in a d2 and up lobby. You get down to round 5 and there are still 8-10 squads. And you can't revive your guys or vise versa. What then? You're just screwed to 1 v 3 stacked squads. Or die because you can't rat?

[@gamersrise2490]

Demotion helps in the sense that players won't flood those lobbies, which is the bigger concern. Plats getting into Master lobbies because of ratting is what the issue is. I don't think badges are relevant when people are complaining that much. They just don't want plat-level teammates in their lobbies.

[@RelatableGamingClips]

you do realise there won't be full lobbies with master trails and badges? Masters yes is more easy to get if you rat but at the same time if you look at the last split rank distribution it shows that it only went up by 2% which makes it around 5% of players hitting masters while pred has a around 0.5 or 1% of players hitting it. I think because the apex community is toxic they think that everyone got masters/pred and it no longer means anything. I say if you solo queued to it amazing job but if you ratted as a solo or got to it as a team congrats but who cares...

I feel it’s a combination of several factors: Larger player base: players are returning from val, fortnite, war zone etc. Attracting competitive players looking for a high rank. Placement points changes: more points for all. Higher average skill level: people are getting better. Conclusion: I think the skill level on apex has always been low compared to other games. Now that the game is attracting higher skilled players, it’s outlining how easy it is to rat to diamond. Therefore taking away the value of the rank to long term players, who are insulted and now complaining “your rank doesn’t matter”.

I believe that whatever rank your in is the rank you play against because it proves if your better than the people in your rank therefore being able to move up. I also think that demotion was a great idea

[@agreen31]

I been stuck in Diamond for the last 5 seasons and once I hit it each season I don't even care about the game anymore. People get carried to Diamond regularly and I stg THOSE ARE ALWAYS MY PARTNERS. SBM needs a serious revamp 💯💯

8:00 this aged betterr than intended

[@Bllksem]

How about they just make getting kills matter the most? If the game is about, you know fighting, how about they actually reward fighting? I know its a revolutionary new idea, but maybe actually fighting and getting kills takes more skill than ratting all game.

[@katxwolphe6708]

Best way to tell if you earned your rank this season is if your stats line up with previous ranked seasons. If they do, then you earned it. If they don’t…well 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@agentprophet4001]

Anyone hard stuck Plat from season 2?

[@Dead-Eyed-Man]

YESS, PAIIIN. The split was a million years, idk why nobody has been talking about this. Respawn didn’t even explain or say anything…like as if we wouldn’t notice. 🤦🏽‍♂️ especially in combo with the RP change, giving everyone SO much time made it incredibly easy.

[@simonbttger5630]

Have you mabye, just MABYE thought about not all players r unemployed and had no life, some actually have jobs friends girlfriends family stuff homework to attend to, and some only have 1-3 Hours a day of gaming

[@Dead-Eyed-Man]

@@simonbttger5630 lol and? 😂. Respawn’s the one who made seasons 3 months long. I assume they factored that in when deciding it? But I’m not the guy to ask, sorry. Maybe just maybe don’t complain about YOUR time management to a stranger over the internet haha. Believe it or not but a lot of players juggle all of that while reaching their desired rank (yes, even Masters). Sorry the extra 3 weeks STILL didn’t help you. GL

@@Dead-Eyed-Man bruh i have all the time in the world, i just saying in general of the playerbase, and i reach My rank every season

[@cactuskouler]

I feel another way they could change the rank system without demotion is by having players who rat be stuck at 0RP (if they survive out the -RP) until they get KP (per person), allowing them to unlock the RP that they deserve from surviving/placement. This way, they have to get involved if they want to rank up! Also PAIN

[@jacobleblanc6159]

this is why i see about 80 master trails in season 13 pubs, good to know

[@deathbyvinyl]

I agree, but if they do the D3 wall again they have got to fix the teamates while solo queuing. When D3 wall was a thing I would always have Plat 4 teamates against a pred 3 stack. One time I even had a Gold 4 random.

[@hueycotton]

I laughed so fucking hard at the zombies part. That's me and my boy and the end of every split when we're nowhere near masters. We just grief the fucking lobby and big dick every fight. I'm so sorry lmao

[@BigBoiFire67]

Man really played the Mario kart saxophone clip

[@emilvogt6204]

At 3:46 you said it makes the diffrents in higher ranks but the titel says that ranks mean nothing xd no hate

[@mrbaseball3453]

I played a match with an octane that would not budge no matter what fight I was in, he picked a corner and sat there the whole game

[@HearMeLearn]

I think the current placement system is OKAY as long as they require you to have at least one kill or assist for it to start giving you placement points. Otherwise even if you rat to top 2 you can't get points. That forces you to at least push one squad even if you're ratting, unless you pushed a squad already and then you decided to rat.

[@vlads.3192]

I would do it from like 4 team KPs you can claim placement points. Coz there is so much losers having 300DMG 1KP and camping till TOP3 then they got 1v3 coz they are bad

[@barney7206]

How i describe it: Ranked is a rat environment and care packages are rat traps

[@devintruesdale196]

I feel like they should just put everybody in bronze 4 bring back the old ranked System so you have to fight at least one or two teams I like the demotion ranked as well because I’m D3 and I swear I run into some with a gold skill level

I love how out of all the numbers in pred you choose 69 for the tumbnail :)

These are the reasons I did not play a single ranked game since s7... and there is much more problem with it.

[@keyosh1152]

That’s facts I’m masters and I roll preds all the time while also getting killed by some plat player. Pub demons are scarier than preds

[@uncle_stulin390]

Me who never played ranked: ok, I guess ?

[@lemn2103]

Pain

Split killed my first time to Plat....now it seems harder to get back to it as a casual player.

[@tvberga9931]

I agree, but hitting masters for the first time was very satisfying

ummm diamond 3 in pred lobbys? and deranking? u gone mad lad

It is a BR. It’s about surviving. Cmon. A lot of people seem to forget this.

[@remedial1]

I get monkey plat 4 teammates who ratted into diamond and either W key into every team and die or hide and sit in a bush all game for +4 RP

[@victory7999]

Imagine trying your hardest this split and getting hardstuck in bronze, silver, gold, platinum or diamond... you can literally get to master without firing your gun!

[@kdotzz8966]

I have more pain from 1 week of kings canyon compared to the whole Olympus split.

[@simonbttger5630]

Bruh 3 days of Kingsc Canyon and i wanted to delete det game

[@Sebastian-um3ju]

The goal of battle royale is to be the last one standing so its more than logical to make it so that placement rewards you better than kills do… This is not a TDM/FFA where the point is literally to get the most kills.

[@averageaimer8533]

Placement should just be a multiplier of your KP.

[@ancientorphan3262]

I keep saying it is the negative rp system why apex rank is so frustrating and toxic nobody wants to push to get minus I keep saying it would be better if you just get a zero instead of a minus if you drop out early I believe this will be the solution to the camping and so many third parties

[@PhenonIV]

No? if you can't get any RP loss then nobody has anything to lose. Its the exact same problem with the 10k stucks. Are you even thinking? It would make it easier to get any higher rank and that would just break the system even more.

[@ancientorphan3262]

@@PhenonIV if rats and third party is your thing my guy then you replying to the wrong comment

[@StabbinDabbin]

For real like I'm a season one player and I avoid doing ranked because I can do nothing but get kills and wins and they still throw me in the bronze no matter how good I do

[@rz_daku]

The diamond talk yesss that should be added lol bcus I know I can keep up with diamonds and some masters and occasionally kill preds I so agree with you

Bruh he doesn’t kno the struggle of working 5 days a week 40+ hours then finally hopping on when all the sweats are on at 8pm est. dude trippin talkin about it’s ez tf u mean I have no friends so I solo que every split and managed to hit diamond last split and stuggling this split. You don’t know the absolute struggle of being alone playing competitive.
