While adjustments have been made, Respawn Entertainment has noticed that players are struggling to achieve certain thresholds in Ranked.
Due to a few issues with Season 18 ofApex Legends, Respawn Entertainment shared some ongoing updates (supported by statistics) that were recorded throughout the current season. As it continues to make adjustments, Respawn makes note of struggling players who fail to achieve their “true” ranking at a decent pace due to a certain peak in the ranking system’s distribution. One aspect that will be removed is the ranking difference restrictions for three stack premades, allowing players to freelyplay with their friends inApex Legends, though at the cost of fighting against higher-level players. Additionally, there will be less Ladder Point drops once provisional games come to a close. This all comes with the advantage of more bonuses that players can look forward that were previously being withheld by certain amounts.
