The map rotation we need: night e-district, worlds edge, stormpoint

The map rotation respawn wants to give us: Olympus, Olympus, Olympus

Apex Legends Ranked has 2 major problems right now in Diamond+

1) KP is still worth way too much RP/Value in Ranked

-Killing the entire lobby is a forced TDM meta

-Respawn ignores that there is also value of killing players like loot, space control, and armor upgrades.

-When players land at a POI their first plan is to find a team to run at to kill or 3rd party (the ring / zone is irrelevant because playing for a win rewards nothing in comparison)

2) Lobbies are incredibly hard to balance due to 60 player games

-the skill difference between players in the upper ranks is so vast that 3 stacks of Pros/Preds will drastically out farm the entire lobby especially in a forced TDM (end the game quick kill meta)

-if players are forced to play for wins/end games then more teams will be alive making it much harder for “stronger” teams to cleanse the lobby early

Forcing Solo Q only in Diamond+ Ranked will 100% help the balancing issue but I think this will have an overall negative affect on the game because it removes the ability of playing with friends/organized teams. The meta will remain the same and lobbies will die out just as fast. Nobody has incentive to rotate / play smart / play for wins. The toxicity/unfun aspect of being forced to play with random teammates is also going to become a normality.

Solo/Duo for Masters+ is probably the best middle ground solution along with the introduction of a Dynamic KP Cap system of lobbies to reward WINNING games

Also we have been asking for Solo or a no-group PUBS mode for years.. where is that?

Image 1 - shows the rough “macro” of how competitive RANKED games should be played because teams need to rotate to play for positions
-naturally you mostly have teams playing for position in the zone that might still take some smart opportunistic fights
-controller legends will actually become viable
-some “edge teams” will still fight for upgrades and space control
-your comp should be picked based on the POI you start at just like real comp
-obviously some teams will ignore this but not ALL teams

Image 2 - shows the current “kill meta macro” as if the ring doesn’t matter at all which leads to “10 teams alive ring 1” scenarios constantly

@zachmazer Good luck today king

@Chambo_afc @SkyFondu @DemoniioTV I strongly believe he can use his platform however he wants to use it. If people dont like it then can just easily block or unfollow. As much as they used their freedom to follow him, they can use the same amount of freedom to unfollow him 😂

[Draidy @Draidy_]

@DaJanTRO @HYPERMYSTx I agree but thats a different topic. They already made the change where you can only duo with people 1 tier higher. This is about restricting it to only soloq insted of trying restricting it to duoq first to keep the "playing with a friend" harmony.

@NixAims Hear me out..

[Draidy @Draidy_]

@connorcrd 3-0

[Draidy @Draidy_]

@HisandHersLive I would say its way less than before in Apex. But might be copium and just completely placebo - me just adjusting that this is the new normal 🤡

[Draidy @Draidy_]

@SkyFondu @DemoniioTV How is this even relevant

[Draidy @Draidy_]

@HYPERMYSTx Axle usually gets banned in first two-three rounds, NC and Gibby usually gets picked Game 4 and later.

Devs not watching comp:

[Draidy @Draidy_]

@Slayerburner @HYPERMYSTx Putting it that way..yh. Also keeps it hard to reach master so the "competitiveness" is still intact. Ngl, you actually might have changed my opinion with just that. But they should also somehow make it harder to reach Diamond, game has s17 pandemic but in Diamond.

[Draidy @Draidy_]

@EvoArchers @HYPERMYSTx Yeah, high copium brother

[Draidy @Draidy_]

@EvoArchers @HYPERMYSTx I mean, looking at your profile I bet u never even reached Diamond without using a zen/or any other tool. Nice pinned video fker. And you're out here crying 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Draidy @Draidy_]

@EvoArchers @HYPERMYSTx I think this would create a good balance in ranked generally if they stick to DuoQ insted of SoloQ and only apply it to Master/Preds. Generally, if you cant reach a rank without your friends in master/pred...oh boy let me tell you.. 😂

[Draidy @Draidy_]

@EvoArchers @HYPERMYSTx Im SoloQ, DuoQ at most so I CBA about that. This change would be more of a buff for me. Yet I still think it's unfair to pull this strong to one side insted of meeting in the middle first to see how things turn out.

[Draidy @Draidy_]

@d1amxndttv @HYPERMYSTx Playerbase isnt big enough to make that work.
