Ranked is way better right now, they just need to fix the cheater situation, server issues and probably give some incentive to solo queueing or be in a separate queue since 3 stacks have better odds over solo queue players.
If you are unable to outplay 3 stack preds as your own team, you don't deserve master. Ranked shouldn't be about instant gratification. I got master in ranked with one other diamond friend and a random. So if I could do it, you can too. The biggest issue is the rampant cheating.
@@yashee3421 How do you not understand what I'm trying to say? Are you ESL or smth? If you can't fight your way through preds/mas/dia while in diamond, why do you think you should climb through diamond?
20,000 CHEATS WERE BOUGHT THIS MONTH. 30% of preds and Masters were banned each season. 1 IN 3 IS CHEATING. These are statistical facts. That literally means almost every team has a cheater. I can get Pred on XBOX. I can barely get through gold on PC.
@@YAYAYOYOY32can’t lie I reached diamond 2 this season and I would have to agree the cheaters are bad I could go for master but it’s not worth the time and hassle
If you are above average ranked is good, for rest of the player base it is bad. Any rank system that is filled with "solo bronze to masters" videos is a bad one by default
The current ranked system is damn near perfect. The only downside is the 6/9 man cheating + server issues. I’ve stopped playing ranked because if I don’t DC with a data persistence error and get a 10 min abandonment penalty, I’m running into teamers wearing the same coloured skins farming KP in the final zone. I was 180rp off masters last split before running into multiple server side issues + cheaters that I stopped playing ranked entirely for the season. But you’re pretty much right about everything
Perfect? Brother i didn't play last season, came back a week ago and started my first match of ranked. The champion squad was a masters team. Sbmm is fucked in the game completely
Same for me I lost 600 points bc my game kept crashing and I kept getting 10 minute bans. For me 3/5 of my games had me crashing in the beginning. Shits so frustrating since I was D1
The game literally crashes every other game. Solo queuing will only get you to about diamond. And if your game is crashing in diamond, you just won’t go up in a lot of cases, you’ll lose points for no reason. On top of running into masters and preds, only to not even get any real rewards for even making it to pred anymore in the first place🤷🏾♂️. I honestly just uninstalled like a week ago, I wouldn’t be surprised if other people are doing the same.
I started season 16 so I didn’t really get to experience a good ranked system and I just hit diamond 3 and I think if I actually got to experience a good ranked system for the past 3 or so seasons I would’ve been a bit better
as a new player who hit d4 this season, the system gives me the perfect reason to try to hit master; however, I do believe they should do something about solo queuing as a new player I don't wanna go into games and have to teach my teammates about the game when I myself don't know that much, the fact that you can get a silver or bronze player as a teammate in d4 is wild and while fighting against teams with preds or even premade teams. But the bigger issue at hand is the cheaters and teamers. If you play late at night due to work or school, the lobbies are filled with these types of players, making the game feel unplayable. But as it stands, the rank system this season seems to be hard according to this video, and that's how it should be.
This video is a bold face lie He said from diamond 4 they face preds Such a lie I've been gold facing pred 3 stacks that's why I quit it happened way too often when you'd go to the apex tracker website and see the guy that stomped you is currently a pred
@@iDuckie_i can guarantee he was rather trying to grind pred in the first few days himself or those people are ex preds who barely play anymore but can still shoot their gun. it’s damn near impossible to find a current pred in plat lobbies unless you’re playing at very late times, im in diamond 3 right now but i barely play and i rather get current pred lobbies or plat lobbies with 1/2 pred squads
@@jacthelad69 but that;s actually strange, I think MM should use up to 4 +/- ranks from your rank. That's like + 5 or 6 if we would count preds seperate from the Masters. Maybe they have P1 with -4 or +5 ranks in MM.

Great video man. Thanks. I consider myself a decent player but my mates always run in every fight and die. i am forced to pick a support legend to run away if my mates instantly die and craft their badges for a reset. What is bothering me really is that when i do that people flame, " pu**y , why u run " Why should i go die vs a team of 3 even if one is low hp xD after i respawn my mates we often win .. then all of a sudden they are friendly again .. as a solo .. its freaking hard to grind rank.
This happens to me too, when l am solo queue, l push fights with team when there been aggressive, l sometimes we win sometimes we lose. You can have good games and bad games in rank same with teams. Solo queue rank can be hard, l am decent enough player l have reach diamond rank a few times. What do not like is cheaters & 6 man squads it ruins rank & bad match making, the rewards are rubbish now. I miss dive trails.
I hit Masters in ranked 17 and it was nice, but this season I'm hard stuck in Plat 4-3, and having more fun than ever, realizing where my skill actually is and what I need to do in order to improve it.
Yeah I won’t lie this season was difficult for me too, I got Diamond in season 9 so I decided to go through the gauntlet again this season and boy was it a pain. I almost gave up before reaching Diamond 4, and once I got there I was absolutely hard stuck lol
When I tell you I almost quit i deranked from plat 1 to plat 2 a couple of times and from plat 2 to plat 3 several times, the struggle was REAL for that first split. I needed a break
Ranked is pretty good right now, but i honestly cant even say what ranks they are matchmaking. When i was plat 2 i was matched up with diamond 4 and 3. But when i reached diamond 4 myself i got matched up with diamonds, masters and predators and not plat 2 players. Felt kinda weird.
Honestly i've found that it depends on the time or day you are playing. Usually im only playing with one of my friends and if we are playing outside of peak ours then we might end up with platinum teammates. But playing in peak hours we very rarely see anyone outside of d4+
Had an epiphany the other day after matchmaking gave me bots and we got killed by a 6 man. “What is the point of this grind? A banner frame the 10th diamond badge? A weapon charm?” After that moment I can barely play 3 games
I always play until platinum and then stop. Pubs is impossible to play because of matchmaking. In every game you are thrown into the lobby with master and preds. I have the feeling that in Apex there are only master players with 20 bomb badges. I would like to play more, but you can't have fun like that.

trying playing in peak hours. Typically i play with just one of my friends and we duo queue and when we play outside of peak hours we might end up with a platinum teammate. But playing in peak hours we very rarely see a platinum in the lobby at all.
I consider myself slightly above average. Solo Q'd all the way to Platinum IV (no issues in about 1.5 weeks)....but yea Im now finding it difficult to rank up any further. I keep getting some less than stellar teammates, when I do encounter those rare good or decent teammates I almost never want the matches to end 😂. I always said If I had like 2 more Me's to rank with I believe I could at least scrape Masters. But again Im playing with randoms that puzzle me on how they made it to Platinum [or high Gold].
You could try and find people to play with. Join the official apex discord they have a really good lfg system there. Alternatively the battlecord server has goof lfg channels.
as a person that has been in pred multiple times and been in masters since before s8, your right and your wrong. You are way more right than wrong though. Im not sure how hard it is for average or above average players, but for a person who is among some of the top players, ranked is not hard. For example match making diamonds, masters and preds into the same lobby is good for making masters harder to obtain for most players, but when you are a pred or a good masters player, killing mostly diamond players is just to easy. And on the occassions you do run into a actual pred player or decent masters player, it is to easy to negate one bad game. This causes ranked for players at the highest level to get bored because there is no challenge, killing diamond players like cod zombies just doesnt feel rewarding. Its hard to say there is a perfect fix. The only way around this i see is going back to i think s12 or s13 ranked (i cannot remember what one it was). That was the true hardest ranked split, I think the reason it got reverted is to many people who were previous masters or diamonds complained about how hard it was. It made pred grinding and masters grinding more about how skilled you are instead of how much time you play, like it currently is. For people that do not remember, once you got masters every 1000 rp you when up was another -5rp added to the entry cost (may not be the exact system but is the idea of what it was). But no hate on the video its well made and interesting info on ranked, just leaves out the issues pro and semi pro players run into when playing ranked. (I am a challenger circuit finalist, and was 15th ranked in this last challenger circuit, incase you wanted some sort of proof I know somewhat what I am talking about). Though reading other comments, main issues are cheaters its acutually crazy how many there are and it ruins the game for everyone. But the one guy who is plat is right that he should not be in match making with imperialhal, ruins the game for a pro like him and for plat players.
maybe i was wrong about the season 13. I got to masters both splits that season without much problem but i was grinding arena pred that season, with Moorebid actually who is current number 3 i think. Then i stopped playing season 14 until the start of this season
bruh we in 2024 the masters isnt a flex, console pred isnt a flex unless your top 10 and pc is only a flex at top 100 if you cant get 20s in pred lobbies your not the top 0.1 precent and it shouldnt be so easy to get masters to many people that belong in diamond make masters.
No, Ranked isn't ToO HaRd. It's perfect where it is at. Problem is Respawn's lack of anticheat (PC) and lack of human reviewers against 6/9 manners (Diamond+ console)
i agree i love the current system. I've heard a lot about the 6 manning and it must suck. Luckily on pc we only have to deal with rage cheaters every few games
Great video! I think it's kind of OK right now. It's not hard and not easy either, but I feel it is more about benefiting more casuals. Currently, I'm Plat4, both splits in a row, while I have just around 250 games in Ranked this season as I have time just for 5-10 games per evening if I have time. Currently, my KD is higher in Ranked than in pubs and feels more enjoyable. I will try to get to Diamond, and I may have something more to say, but overall, getting to Plat as a casual and average-level player is relatively easy, even just solo q, IMO. Is it good? I don't know yet.
@@iDuckie_ I think so, for me low Plat seems like a deserved spot. But it's subjective. It's very hard in Apex to know where you stend by skill unless you are at the top or ont he bottom. The middle pack is very tight in skill IMO. At the momemnt I like this system, because I see that in Plat each tear start to add some resistence which start to test my skills, which in this case if I would get to Diamond, it would feel really rewarding.
I hate the ranked right now I’m hard stuck D1 because of cheater, now they can crash your game and make you lose 200 rp and a 10 min penality I was 100 rp of masters this shit annoys me but I will still hit masters one day
Absolutely crushed the video! Good content! However, what’s wrong with the rank system, is the matchmaking. I feel like there is still mmr and mmr balancing in ranked mm when solo que. Consistently getting lower skilled players, who I question how they are even the same rank as me. What do you think? Thanks for the video!
Never had any server issues just the statistical fact 1 in 3 players is cheating. 30 PLus% of Preds and Masters were banned each season. Thats only who they caught. Thats 1 in 3 cheating. I have zero server issues and even go to london at night on over 100 ping to get games. Your internet sucks bud.
This doesn’t seem like a bad change. I’m just getting into ranked so I could be wrong, but matching players with people in a FULL rank above them seems a LITTLE bit much. In theory no, but in practice, a lot of people in masters can be ALOT better than the people in the plat, so when you have a full team of platinum players going up against masters players every single game, who are better than them, how do you rank up?
Well it should be a sign that you need to improve. If you do die to players who are higher ranked than you try to think about what they did to beat you and what you did that could have made them win then improve on those things until you can beat them.
could’ve hit diamond last season split 1 if i didn’t lag out/disconnect 7-8 times and take -120 penalty each time. only split 2 counted which was stupid, hit diamond 4 times this season. twice on my main (half 3 stack/half solo queue) and twice on my 2 cousins accounts (solo queue). there should be a reduced entry cost for solo queue players in diamond bc -75 is ridiculous when i get dumb and dumber on my team
9 mans are insane right now, i was playing with 2 preds, we wiped 5 people within a minute and one of them runs off to kill last guy but the last guy ran to his other team of 3 🤣 games a joke in ranked right now
My problem is I play early morning and I'm stuck in silver. For some reason I get bronze teammates while I get killed by 3 platinum players. Is there a reason every game I get bronze players
Yep! I play on PlayStation and I saw an Xbox guy have zero left, right, up and down recoil. That's straight BS, no way he had that much control, everyone is using Zen. I got fed up, so I bought one, I hate it and I don't use it.
Yeah defo better ranked this season around put loads of effort in and made diamond 3 im usually platinum 4 to diamond 4 its hard on the ppints when you have randoms that have no ranked game sense
It is hard. But its only hard cuz in plat 2 i was getting placed with preds and my diamond lobbies are full of cheaters... like when tf are these cheaters going to be banned? Im tired of getting melted by someone with a cronus, xin, or p5mate. Also the servers gotta get fixed asap
@@iDuckie_ they didn’t like it became sweaty in lower ranks and it actually felt like each game was like algs but the pro players like it . Just search up season 13 split 1 Hal, sweet dreams or any other pro player and you will see they enjoy it but the casual didn’t like it at all that it even made the player base drop so respawn reverted it
In my experience was so hard Platinum 2 and 1 cause cheaters and boosting but after diamond eas easy normal good people playing no weird shoot no weird movements now weird teams playing together
I’m currently plat 2 as I started the grind really late, I want to get to diamond and I probably will but there ain’t a lot of time left of the season (I solo q btw)
to be fair ranked isnt meant to be easy, its ment to push you to be better, play better and learn from your losses, solo queing is possible but it might aswell be a 1vall, cause lets be honest the team work between random people doesnt work out aswell as with the people you play regularly.
I just play crypto and wait for a cheater on my team. Then just get fat off assist as i scan and respawn them. If ea doesn't care to do anything about them and i can't beat them, I join them. No cheats myself, and there no teaming with them. But if they end up on my team, I take that freè ride to the top.
I mean i almost only solo q and if i play with my mates i manage to make points in diamond but im defo gonna equip my double split dia badge when i dont got a 4k 20 on them
If not bcs of cheater and 6+ manning i might be in diamond 4/3 right now most of legit master or pred player can't climb to their suppose rank most of em only reach to diamond 1 and by some miracle they can plough through it, right now i feel like whoever with legit skill can reach to pred they also can handle pro league bcs the amount of cheater on those rank is so rampant.
I've had a lot of people say that but maybe i didnt pay enough attention that season. I hit masters both splits but i was mainly playing arenas that season for arena pred
When was this ? Because obviously if it's early in the season then those players start at bronze just like you. Also just because you see a pred badge doesn't mean it's a current pred badge. It could be a former pred who started ranked late in the season.
Sorry to say its hard solo if i get two useless team who hide rat die the first minute of the game then kill no one dont shoot there gun give zero help do zero damage and sure im good enough to kill some 3 man but it doesn't mean anything when third party are out of control and teammates with no mics if my kd is high why can't i get my level of teammates im always carrying people it shouldn't be like that i think they need to make it harder to get out of plat like if you're demoted 3 times go back to plat 3 or something
I think it gets way to hard once u get to D 4 I don’t know how many time I got demoted to plat 1 I guess I’m hard stuck D4 solo queue ing u loose to much Rp
No rank doesnt matter , rank system is stupid, theres a reason why there is a rank so i think , bronze should only play with bronze , silver with silverz whats the point of ranking system if you are bronze and play against platinum or diamond, and yeah 8/9 people are cheating , using cronus zen, or have aim assist on mouse an k, game is basically clown fiesta for cheaters that even if they get banned they have 99 different accounts to play on , move to a different game dont waste your time for this addixction theres no reward for that
6:54 LIES I'VE SEEN GOLD plYers get stomped out by pred 3 stacks Nothing changed Thats why ranked is dying Imagine trying to get out of gold and facing masters and pred 3 stacks 😂
@nulve130 i mean getting to gold honestly isn't too stressful. It's getting from gold to platinum that can be tough for an average player myself included but still doable with effort.
There is no actual game anymore to play, its just a cheatfest. Reading about direct access memory boards last night and no wonder.. Easy anti cheat is completely out of date, Apex has No legit security for 2024 cheats.
With 1 in 3 pred to masters being guaranteed cheaters not including the broken AA, zen, scripting and those undetectable and 20k estimated cheats bought for Apex per month, I’m afraid you’re flogging the wrong dead horse. There’s the reason ranked is hard and the game only gets worse.
Ranked is way better right now, they just need to fix the cheater situation, server issues and probably give some incentive to solo queueing or be in a separate queue since 3 stacks have better odds over solo queue players.
I think cheaters is the #1 issue by far, followed by a need for better matchmaking, and then 3rd better and more consistent servers.
Until diamond, I think the system is fine. But going against 3 stack preds once reaching diamond 4 is very extreme.
If you are unable to outplay 3 stack preds as your own team, you don't deserve master. Ranked shouldn't be about instant gratification. I got master in ranked with one other diamond friend and a random. So if I could do it, you can too. The biggest issue is the rampant cheating.

For people that do not remember, once you got masters every 1000 rp you when up was another -5rp added to the entry cost (may not be the exact system but is the idea of what it was). But no hate on the video its well made and interesting info on ranked, just leaves out the issues pro and semi pro players run into when playing ranked. (I am a challenger circuit finalist, and was 15th ranked in this last challenger circuit, incase you wanted some sort of proof I know somewhat what I am talking about).
Though reading other comments, main issues are cheaters its acutually crazy how many there are and it ruins the game for everyone. But the one guy who is plat is right that he should not be in match making with imperialhal, ruins the game for a pro like him and for plat players.
I ain’t reading allat
maybe i was wrong about the season 13. I got to masters both splits that season without much problem but i was grinding arena pred that season, with Moorebid actually who is current number 3 i think. Then i stopped playing season 14 until the start of this season
bruh we in 2024 the masters isnt a flex, console pred isnt a flex unless your top 10 and pc is only a flex at top 100 if you cant get 20s in pred lobbies your not the top 0.1 precent and it shouldnt be so easy to get masters to many people that belong in diamond make masters.
( i say this having 2 acc in masters and my main in pred. again console pred isnt a flex lol)
It would be amazing without cheaters but not worth grinding anymore
you're right cheaters are annoying
No, Ranked isn't ToO HaRd. It's perfect where it is at. Problem is Respawn's lack of anticheat (PC) and lack of human reviewers against 6/9 manners (Diamond+ console)
i agree i love the current system. I've heard a lot about the 6 manning and it must suck. Luckily on pc we only have to deal with rage cheaters every few games
I just wish they had solo queue ranked squads.
Great video! I think it's kind of OK right now. It's not hard and not easy either, but I feel it is more about benefiting more casuals. Currently, I'm Plat4, both splits in a row, while I have just around 250 games in Ranked this season as I have time just for 5-10 games per evening if I have time. Currently, my KD is higher in Ranked than in pubs and feels more enjoyable. I will try to get to Diamond, and I may have something more to say, but overall, getting to Plat as a casual and average-level player is relatively easy, even just solo q, IMO. Is it good? I don't know yet.
Thank you! Do you think getting plat is good? If so then that's awesome! Next season you should make a push to get diamond and really improve.
@@iDuckie_ I think so, for me low Plat seems like a deserved spot. But it's subjective. It's very hard in Apex to know where you stend by skill unless you are at the top or ont he bottom. The middle pack is very tight in skill IMO. At the momemnt I like this system, because I see that in Plat each tear start to add some resistence which start to test my skills, which in this case if I would get to Diamond, it would feel really rewarding.
I hate the ranked right now I’m hard stuck D1 because of cheater, now they can crash your game and make you lose 200 rp and a 10 min penality I was 100 rp of masters this shit annoys me but I will still hit masters one day
Absolutely crushed the video! Good content!
However, what’s wrong with the rank system, is the matchmaking.
I feel like there is still mmr and mmr balancing in ranked mm when solo que.
Consistently getting lower skilled players, who I question how they are even the same rank as me.
What do you think?
Thanks for the video!
Never had any server issues just the statistical fact 1 in 3 players is cheating. 30 PLus% of Preds and Masters were banned each season. Thats only who they caught. Thats 1 in 3 cheating. I have zero server issues and even go to london at night on over 100 ping to get games. Your internet sucks bud.
Thank You! I'm happy you liked the video. Personally im not entirely sure about mmr but i think thats just how solo queueing goes
This doesn’t seem like a bad change. I’m just getting into ranked so I could be wrong, but matching players with people in a FULL rank above them seems a LITTLE bit much. In theory no, but in practice, a lot of people in masters can be ALOT better than the people in the plat, so when you have a full team of platinum players going up against masters players every single game, who are better than them, how do you rank up?
Well it should be a sign that you need to improve. If you do die to players who are higher ranked than you try to think about what they did to beat you and what you did that could have made them win then improve on those things until you can beat them.
@@iDuckie_Oh buy cronus zen for no recoil ? 😂 that’s the answer man ? hey guys ! let’s buy everyone cronus zen !
This season has been pretty easy to climb honestly, it make people play how I like to run games
I hit diamond this season and it actually felt rewarding
I grinded to Diamond and stop playing in first week of this season. Can't get higher so no point playing, nothing to achieve anymore. 😢
well if you dont want to play in diamond then thats fine. but just not playing means you wont improve at all.
@@iDuckie_ i know my limit 😃 been playing since season 0 and got 50k lifetime kills. Plus i am 35 years old, not getting any better that's for sure.
Currently D2 trying to get master before the split is over!
could’ve hit diamond last season split 1 if i didn’t lag out/disconnect 7-8 times and take -120 penalty each time. only split 2 counted which was stupid, hit diamond 4 times this season. twice on my main (half 3 stack/half solo queue) and twice on my 2 cousins accounts (solo queue). there should be a reduced entry cost for solo queue players in diamond bc -75 is ridiculous when i get dumb and dumber on my team
Rookie to diamond solo is fine, beyond that its absolutely horrible
All this talk of the ranked system, when it still doesn’t matter since the rewards suck
9 mans are insane right now, i was playing with 2 preds, we wiped 5 people within a minute and one of them runs off to kill last guy but the last guy ran to his other team of 3 🤣 games a joke in ranked right now
My problem is I play early morning and I'm stuck in silver. For some reason I get bronze teammates while I get killed by 3 platinum players. Is there a reason every game I get bronze players
Yep! I play on PlayStation and I saw an Xbox guy have zero left, right, up and down recoil. That's straight BS, no way he had that much control, everyone is using Zen. I got fed up, so I bought one, I hate it and I don't use it.
im d4 and most games i get in the champs are always 3 stack preds
Yeah defo better ranked this season around put loads of effort in and made diamond 3 im usually platinum 4 to diamond 4 its hard on the ppints when you have randoms that have no ranked game sense
Great video bro! Subbed
Glad you like it bro
I love your vids keep up the good work
Im glad you still like them grizzly
@@iDuckie_ i just enjoy the vids
Ranked is trash right now when you get into diamond because there are many cheaters
It is hard. But its only hard cuz in plat 2 i was getting placed with preds and my diamond lobbies are full of cheaters... like when tf are these cheaters going to be banned? Im tired of getting melted by someone with a cronus, xin, or p5mate. Also the servers gotta get fixed asap
Season 13 rank wasn’t easy lol. Split 1 apex rank is considered the best rank system the issue was the casual didn’t like it
what was it that casuals didn't like that season? Granted i didnt play BR that much that season i was grinding for arena pred that season
@@iDuckie_ they didn’t like it became sweaty in lower ranks and it actually felt like each game was like algs but the pro players like it . Just search up season 13 split 1 Hal, sweet dreams or any other pro player and you will see they enjoy it but the casual didn’t like it at all that it even made the player base drop so respawn reverted it
In my experience was so hard Platinum 2 and 1 cause cheaters and boosting but after diamond eas easy normal good people playing no weird shoot no weird movements now weird teams playing together
best ranked system! big up
yes, everyone loves the purple badge
It’s impossible to win a game because everyone is apex master in normal lobby’s
This movement is crazy. Making me wanna go try KBM
I’m currently plat 2 as I started the grind really late, I want to get to diamond and I probably will but there ain’t a lot of time left of the season (I solo q btw)
On pc I think you’re right, but console is unplayable due to 6 mans
yeah i've heard alot about the 6 manning and its a shame really.
to be fair ranked isnt meant to be easy, its ment to push you to be better, play better and learn from your losses, solo queing is possible but it might aswell be a 1vall, cause lets be honest the team work between random people doesnt work out aswell as with the people you play regularly.
Its really only too hard once you get to Diamond 3 which is the top 1%
Too many points in diamond. Actually I am plat 1 and I am so proud it was not so easy to get it
Anyone who can get plat 3 is above average and should be proud ( excluding boosted players ofcourse ). So gg.
Umm I'm Plat 4 and play against diamond 2s so I'm pretty sure there's still "ranked fill"
I just play crypto and wait for a cheater on my team. Then just get fat off assist as i scan and respawn them. If ea doesn't care to do anything about them and i can't beat them, I join them. No cheats myself, and there no teaming with them. But if they end up on my team, I take that freè ride to the top.
Rank to easy = complain
Rank to hard = accusing someone as cheater and have no life.
But that’s true, if is easy not many cheats if is hard people use cheats
I mean i almost only solo q and if i play with my mates i manage to make points in diamond but im defo gonna equip my double split dia badge when i dont got a 4k 20 on them
skill issue I'd say
Real
If not bcs of cheater and 6+ manning i might be in diamond 4/3 right now most of legit master or pred player can't climb to their suppose rank most of em only reach to diamond 1 and by some miracle they can plough through it, right now i feel like whoever with legit skill can reach to pred they also can handle pro league bcs the amount of cheater on those rank is so rampant.
System is fkd even when you are in bronze you see those fking no lifers how is that fair?
Did bro just say rank season 13 was easy? There’s no chance he played that season; that was was the hardest ranked season to hit masters or pred
I've had a lot of people say that but maybe i didnt pay enough attention that season. I hit masters both splits but i was mainly playing arenas that season for arena pred
Just too many cheaters in the game.
I’m #300 pred right now and it’s not hard or easy it seems just right just get better I guess
#300 console pred*
Tried to hit masters but my teammates (Xbox players) sold
This ranked split to me is the easiest 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No! I suck balls and I’ll hit Diamond SoloQ both splits this season.
dog i was in bronze and im always fighting preds how tf does that make sense
When was this ? Because obviously if it's early in the season then those players start at bronze just like you. Also just because you see a pred badge doesn't mean it's a current pred badge. It could be a former pred who started ranked late in the season.
great video. ranks now is best
Sorry to say its hard solo if i get two useless team who hide rat die the first minute of the game then kill no one dont shoot there gun give zero help do zero damage and sure im good enough to kill some 3 man but it doesn't mean anything when third party are out of control and teammates with no mics if my kd is high why can't i get my level of teammates im always carrying people it shouldn't be like that i think they need to make it harder to get out of plat like if you're demoted 3 times go back to plat 3 or something
im plat and get put in games with diamonds and masters
trying playing at peak hours
I think it gets way to hard once u get to D 4 I don’t know how many time I got demoted to plat 1 I guess I’m hard stuck D4 solo queue ing u loose to much Rp
full of xims and zens on console lol
and no one got ban
sadly they can be really hard to detect
I feel like it’s pretty widespread on pc as well or i just suck and miss to many shots 😂
I stopped playing because to much Smurf accounts. To many booster and carries. And cheaters. And hate to be that guy but controller players in pc.
Diamond is pred. Pred is just cheaters and 6 man teams
Answer: No
No rank doesnt matter , rank system is stupid, theres a reason why there is a rank so i think , bronze should only play with bronze , silver with silverz whats the point of ranking system if you are bronze and play against platinum or diamond, and yeah 8/9 people are cheating , using cronus zen, or have aim assist on mouse an k, game is basically clown fiesta for cheaters that even if they get banned they have 99 different accounts to play on , move to a different game dont waste your time for this addixction theres no reward for that
6:54
LIES
I'VE SEEN GOLD plYers get stomped out by pred 3 stacks
Nothing changed
Thats why ranked is dying
Imagine trying to get out of gold and facing masters and pred 3 stacks 😂
bro skipped season 18
Wrong ive been playing against preds in plat
my goal is bronze 4 :D 0:10
Hell Yeah!
Now it should be silver 4, coz no entry cost in bronze means you can only go positive.
I just can't bring myself to play comp
@nulve130 i mean getting to gold honestly isn't too stressful. It's getting from gold to platinum that can be tough for an average player myself included but still doable with effort.
There is no actual game anymore to play, its just a cheatfest. Reading about direct access memory boards last night and no wonder.. Easy anti cheat is completely out of date, Apex has No legit security for 2024 cheats.
Its not hard just full of cheater's
Whoever this gameplay is from is cheating. Nothing has recoil at all and it's on mouse n keyboard
the gameplay is my own. and no im not cheating lmao
skill issue
this ranked season is bad because of cheaters
can I drop my username so we can grind to diamond together??
With 1 in 3 pred to masters being guaranteed cheaters not including the broken AA, zen, scripting and those undetectable and 20k estimated cheats bought for Apex per month, I’m afraid you’re flogging the wrong dead horse. There’s the reason ranked is hard and the game only gets worse.
