Ranked is broken. By far the biggest BLUNDER (The words I want to use would not be allowed on this forum) is that, as a Plat 4 player I have lost to Diamond (4s and 3s) in the last 4 ranked matches I have played (almost a 400 RP difference) ... I mean what in the actual frank is going on. Apex had all this time to create league type play and instead of umm having placement matches like every game that uses similar rank structure play, we'll just start everyone at zero because that's the easiest way to do it. Also, what could have been a fun way to motivate people to play turned into a turtle show of the slowest matches ever. People don't make fights, running away for hopes of higher position finish is the name of the game. I have had team mates literally drop solo to the cage area to sit in some little hide away hole that can't be seen from outside of it in the hopes of ninjaing their way to the top 3. What a waste of hours. Reward more for kills, reward more for kills, reward more for kills, reward more for kills... And whats more is they kept everything just as expensive in the shop. Costs an arm and a leg to purchase anything which means I won't. If EA had invested more time in the game and less on what they can make in the item shop this would be a much better game. At this point I'm actually considering transition back to battlefield until the next game comes out because this will not have the longevity of FN/OW/Siege/etc.

Although I understood your pain at first with ranking issues, the post eventually became "I want Apex more like DM than BR" ... shame.

@RandomCZActually I haven't even played the newest BF I only like the first person shooter aspects of battle field which is why I would consider going back to that if Apex isn't fixed. Apex is not anything like the FPS style of BF and it shouldn't be. Apex is a great FPS the differs from most. All I want is for ranked to be fixed and EA to spend time on the game instead of their greed... so I actually only mentioned BF once and that was your only take away, and I did not compare the two either (I'm pretty sure BF doesn't even have ranked?) so I'm not sure where you conclusion is coming from. Only said if it's not fixed I would play BF instead. (don't even know what DM and BR is...)

@iBlockHead Very true, I just think there are enough online rank systems out there that work that could have been used for apex for a smoother start. But, you're right that things take time. Hopefully it gets taken care of sooner rather than later. The online gaming scene is pretty competitive and I think Apex could be here for a while if they can keep fixing everything.
