It's funny how the game puts you into Masters lobbies while being gold, without actually changing the lobbies when you're not climbing. Brilliant game design. This is not a ranked system. This is a progression system with standard sbmm behind it
Welcome to hidden MMR that devs insist on shoving into their game at one point or another. And all the casual or even just relatively unskilled gold or plat and below don't notice. Makes it take forever to rank because if you start low and you're good, then suddenly you're gold but matched with diamonds or weak masters etc. Yet still have to climb thru gold.
@@ashryver3605 I don't mind hidden MMR. But if I am in gold and my hidden MMR is masters, then my MMR needs to adjust faster if I don't consistently win and actually reflect my rank.
This hidden skill rating in ranked matchmaking makes absolutely 0 sense. They’re pretty much giving you a rating and matching you accordingly regardless of your actual “ranked level/tier”. It might as well be pubs. The whole point of having a “rank” is to see where you stand against others of that rank… there should not be a second hidden rating, it nullifies the whole system.
The supposed "fix" was to just implement sbmm into ranked and make ur rank worthless. The lobbies you get put into are based on ur sbmm and not ur rank so idk what the point of your rank is.
there isnt one. which is why some people like myself are not playing ranked until it becomes a proper system. nice break to focus up on areas i was lacking in
@@ixLlama I would quit but there is no other game like apex on the mnk. No game is as satisfying to get good at than apex. I just cant find another game to replace it.
I've been Gold 1 for a bit. teammates are either competent vets or don't know what left click is. It feels better than last season where everything was free, but not what ranked should be. queue times have been really bad after 11pm, too. 7 minutes last night for one match that ended almost instantly after my teammates went down.
After reset ranked system is not playable without premade lobbies. There is a lot of randoms which are acting like NPC's. It's terrible how ranked experience go down (at least in my opinion). Yesterday finally i met 2 random guys, where we win 3 games in row and lobby was not so bad also with Masters and Preds. After this 3 games i get another randoms which were new to game XDD So please be aware of playing this game like that. I don't even complain anymore this is Respawn Enterteiment - don't care.
Being someone trapped in gold is hell even if you deserve gold like myself. Imagine the agonising torture of being stuck in gold while having actual professional experience.
just an fyi. for a myriad of reasons, gold+ is the top 6% of the overall ranked player base. maybe a reason why its been taking so long for a lot of previous dia/master/pred players to climb out of it. for reference plat+ is the TOP 1.5% of the game. absolutely nuts. Edit: I was in gold when I typed this and am now in plat+. it took mere days to get to gold and weeks to climb out. idk if this is a good thing for a ranked system since i've never seen a rank like gold take that long in any other game. but i think this is actually ok? gold/plat is normally the avg and above avg ranks but with a BR shouldn't it be the lowest ranks where the avg player base is? rookie 4 through silver 1 make up 90% of the player base in ranked, but maybe thats not a bad thing?
I just checked my stats in ranked and season 17 ranked: 400 games, 14 top 1, 59 top 5 i got plat III season 18 ranked: 400 games, 20 top 1, 79 top 5 im only silver I im never been trying this hard on apex i already played more ranked games than last season but its so hard to get points i just did a top 1 and got 170pts
It's not even ranked anymore, it's literally just a hidden MMR score that determines your lobbies. Solo q is even more insufferable than it was already. By far the worst ranked season I've played.
@@DeadxRaceyou're calling someone bad because of how this season plays when I doubt you've even peaked masters without playing season 17, stop trying to ego someone on RUclips comments lol
this lobby is looking like a masters lobby..... and it's only gold... no wonder I'm stuck in ROOKIE I after playing an hour of this (with randoms) every day...
It is beginning of season, it’s always like this. I reached gold lobbies last week and according to playerbase I was top 1.8% of concurrent ranked players. If you are top 2%, you will play against strong players obviously, regardless of what rank we are at. As the season goes, the top players will climb to diamond and master, and the gold lobbies will feel more and more like a real gold lobby. Everyone is cramped up between gold 1 and rookie 4, so gold is diamond/master level right now. To give perspective, Mande finished his provisional matches with a silver 2 rank. So like the rest of us, he has to climb through gold.
@@anthonyvega155 basically its like the same as s17's ranked system except theres a higher entry cost and overall less points for placement but kills and other bonuses like the "skill" bonus award higher points now and its 1000rp to go from gold 4 to gold 3 however when you get to diamond there is an even higher entry cost. so its basically s17 with less placement points, more kill points and other bonus points with higher entry cost but hidden mmr overrides your rank so you could be in braknze but be put in pred lobbies if your mmr ks super high
I doubt the RP/LP/whatever even matters. Respawn said that if your hidden MMR is higher than your LP then you will get matched using MMR. This begs the question - why are there two ratings to begin with and why is one of them hidden? It's just convoluted and dumb as hell. Just hire a math prof. instead of whatever diversity hire is working on ranked right now and let them figure out a system that isn't cringe. Hell, it's not just ranked that is screwed. I had a real good day (or got matched with bots) while playing with friends a while ago and apparently boosted my unraked MMR through the roof. Now when I play solo I get teamed up with complete two digit damage brainlets that die 20 seconds into a lukewarm drop. How is this supposed to be enjoyable for anybody? I know it's been like this forever, but we were promised fixes. Where are they?
Listen i drop 10 kills as silver 2 with a win and only got around 252 points like i was so mad and lowkey lost motivation to push aggro half of the game
i was so confused why its so hard for me to get out of gold as an average diamond player, until i realized all fcking players in my lobbyare master tier players, 1st i thouged thats only master players from s17 cuz they rated there master badge, buts that was not the case....
i used to be diamond last year when i played and some weeks ago i played a bit with friends and was hardstuck bronze cuz of -50 each game , like wtf hello?
Hahaha yall still suffering on this game ??? Last season was my limit I can't play it no more, fairwell apex legends i'll miss you even tho you stressed me every single sessions all these years✌🏽
Glad I am not the only one lol been 3days I am at gold one only 400 away from plat the problem is respawn are putting bronze players with gold and they are bad I have to look after them like I am there daddy 😂crafting banners and respawning them 2 or 3 times a game but I still end up 1v3 teams why they watch hopefully I get to plat Tom 🤞
Glad I uninstalled this terrible game. I wish we could all just stop playing games that do dumb things repeatedly so maybe companies will begin to ACTUALLY fix them. Its upsetting seeing the game get worse and worse every season, my favorite season was season 8 when I started playing and I hear the game was even better before then. Sadly this game keeps getting worse and I havent hardly played since season 8. Very sadly its every competitive game company doing this stupid shit and ruining gaming, I hardly play games anymore because they are all just terrible and all about running peoples pockets rather than making actual fun games. Saddest of all, making a fun competitive game is actually quite simple with a good foundation (which most of these games nowadays have great potential actually) and even I could tell you exactly how to make a good ranked system, a good matchmaking system and best of all a good game, but instead lets just ruin games for more money oh well.
@@R-E-D-U I’ve played every season since season 8 in hopes it’d get better and my point is they make the game worse every season. Ranked is pointless anymore it’s no longer a representation of one’s skill but rather who plays more, in other words it’s a participation trophy so I refuse to play ranked. Arenas could’ve been awesome if the matchmaking was any bit decent but they decided to remove it instead of fixing it, the matchmaking in mixtape is arguably even worse, and br isn’t much better. Again this game has the foundation to be an amazing game but they make all the wrong moves with everything because it’s ea and they don’t care about the game as long as they make money 🤷♂️ as someone who plays better than most masters I only play apex with friends and my friends just so happen to not be very good at the game but despite that I have to 1v3 masters and preds every single game. Seems like great balancing to me, friends can’t enjoy it and neither can I.
@@R-E-D-U also this wasn’t a rant about JUST apex but any fps game in the last few years. How did these companies have gaming down great ten years ago but seem to not know anything about making a good game now? Most people that have been playing games for a while now and aren’t below average players know exactly what I’m talking about since games are made to cater to low skilled players nowadays to bring in new people get more people buying things since they know the loyal ones will deal with it and buy things anyways. At least that’s what people have done however it looks more and more people are becoming sick of the current state of gaming and understandably so.
