Hello fellow Apex Legends enjoyers, we appreciate you guys bringing hype to the tourney scene🫡
"How do we balance our Apex Academy leagues to maximize lobby quality?"
1⃣We make everybody submit their current season Ranked/Pubs stats.
2⃣Based off stats we give everybody a rank 1-6.
Rank 1 = 1 point
Rank 2 = 2 points
etc..
3⃣We limit how many points your team can have depending on the event. For an 8 point event your team can have a 5 2 and 1 or a 4 3 and 1 etc... your team has to equal 8... no more or less.
4⃣People improve quickly so we are adjusting peoples ranks weekly.
5⃣We manually make the teams for solo queue events to put stronger IGL's with shooters, we put similar personality types together, etc.. to keep team dynamics & vibes high.
6⃣We manually rotate teams every other game in our solo queue events. This allows us to see who's overperforming and underperforming and team them together to maximize balance.
Cheaters***
We personally host and cast every event & often have spectators helping. We review suspicious play quickly and remove anyone we confirm is cheating or violating rules. A lot of people trying to make a name for themselves cheat even in customs sadly.
@PlayApex@Respawn
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
