How should battle royale rank be determined? Respawn says 'placement above all,' but some Apex Legends pros aren't having it.
Is the point of battle royale games to survive, or to eliminate competitors? The latest season of Apex Legends has centered that question with a new ranking system that's stupefying top players. To"prove how bad the system is," NRG prochallenged himself to hit the game's highest rank, Apex Predator, without scoring any kills. After playing for almost 19 hours,"I mean, that is just so dumb," said sweetdreams after climbing into Predator rank on the stream.
The 35 LP entry fee replaces Apex's old"Ranked Points" entry fees, which scaled from 10RP for a Bronze match to 70RP+ for matches played at the highest ranks. That scaling was designed to"filter out unskilled players from higher ranks," according to a Respawn, but the dev said that it put"excessive" focus on eliminations at those ranks because competitors needed every point they could get to offset the higher fees.

"We want everyone of all skill levels to have the same Ranked experience with the same common goal in mind: winning," wrote Respawn."This helps create a common team goal and helps players learn from each other. It ensures macro strategies from lower tiers continue to be valid throughout the tiers."
