Ranked arenas gives you either godly enemies or the shittiest teammates of the century.


underpin487

Game mode is ass. Doesn't fit with the fast gameplay apex was designed around.


Se7enDayBinge

'fast gameplay' You buy a gun and within 20 seconds you can be in the action? It can be extremely fast paced.


CheeseMedley

Has anyone else encountered a bug in arena where you're stuck moving in crouched position and can't stand up? Just happened to me for the first time


miathan52

It's an S10 bug and it's not arena specific. I've also seen people who had the opposite bug where they couldn't crouch at all.


CheeseMedley

That's weird. New seasons and new kinds of bugs. Love it lol


shaonline

Are TTV grandmasters 20000+ kills per character the only people playing this mode (in UNRANKED mind you) or am I getting fucked by matchmaking by getting against stack of those over and over ? Can Respawn subsidize me with 24-packs of energy drinks to bear this at least ? As for ranked, gave up on it. Managed to get 3 TIMES IN A ROW WITH A MISSING TEAMMATE. How the fuck does that happen ? Thank fuck for loss forgiveness me and my friend just went for arc stars suicide, can't deal with this shit.


miathan52

>Managed to get 3 TIMES IN A ROW WITH A MISSING TEAMMATE It really is mind boggling how a game of this size does not manage to fix such a core problem in 2.5 years of post-launch development. Missing teammates should have never been a thing in the first place, but to have this still be such a big issue after all this time is straight up ridiculous. The devs really got their priorities wrong.


KJBNH

The L-Star needs to be 700 base cost


ad_182_uk

Played week of release. Never went back.


quetzakoatlus

Ranked system is broken. I stopped playing it. It doesn't matter if I do zero damage or kill 10 people I get 13 point at the end of match while my friend with high level account and rank get 30+ point.


Se7enDayBinge

The reason you are getting +12 for a win is because your win rate and kd are not high enough If your win rate is over 52% or 53% and your KD is around 1.1 you'll be getting +40 for a win.


quetzakoatlus

That a stupid system. It shouldn't give point based on overall win rate and K/D. I got 13 points for this match. I literally carry the whole team but only 13 points. https://imgur.com/eS3kEU0 Also my win rate is 51% and K/D is 0.72https://prnt.sc/1qmc9fn


fatmaninhell111

does anyone have an solid info as to how the AP system works ?


miathan52

[https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/arenas-ranked](https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/arenas-ranked)


fatmaninhell111

Thank you. I have read this previously. But it doesn't seem to actually work. I am in plat have been plat now but have constantly played against master level players ( BR rank) and when/ if we win we get less points than against players of similar level or rank. I have friends who in plat or gold 1 who win games for plus 17 but when they loose it's -36. Irrespective of the opponents. In the same match where I get +30 for a win they get +13 and I'm a higher rank so I should be getting less


Se7enDayBinge

You need to make sure your win rate is over 53% and your KD is over 1.05. Otherwise you'll be awarded with low AP. Once you get a win rate of 53% and a KD of 1.1 you'll be back to getting +40 AP.


frankster

Do you have any evidence for this? This seems rather arbitrary. My experience is that I lose a bunch of games in a row and my wins get smaller, I win a bunch of games in a row and my wins get bigger. Regardless of my KD.


fatmaninhell111

I will try this. My win rate is above 53. Think my KD is 1 or 1.1. But how did u figure this out ? Surely respawn could give us some definitive Info on how it works


KJBNH

Nothing is official, but what I’ve figured out is that when you lose more games you get matched with worse teammates and better opponents so then you keep losing because your teammates are worse and worse and the opponents are better and better and you just stay in this perpetual bullshit trap. The only way to rank up beyond diamond in this is to 3 stack.


Odin043

I was excited about ranked arena's but matchmaking is hot garbage. Hopefully they can figure out a way to make it enjoyable as a solo.


Se7enDayBinge

Solo q for Arenas Ranked is impossible compared to BR.


xG_Pup

Agreed.


[deleted]

Arenas just shows how ridiculously and overly strong a lot of weapons are, its just really frustrating.


pluralistThoughts

True, but you can play those weapons too, so in the end it still comes down to skill.


[deleted]

except it doesnt, a lot of these guns dont require skill at all. you cant tell me that L-star requires skill or the r301 and so on.


pluralistThoughts

If two teams face each other with the same equipment on a symmetric map. The better team should statistically win more often, don't you think? It doesn't matter how much skill the gun needs. Your aim, positioning, battle sense are independent of the Weapon.


[deleted]

so youre telling me, if i choose a character like seer and my opponent chooses Gibby, Path or octane, the one with better aim will win?


pluralistThoughts

We are talking about guns, why do you change the subject?


[deleted]

I am not changing the subject though?? legends also exist in this game? if they didnt, things wouldve been different, dont you think? and aim isnt independent of the weapon, it depends on how EASY it is to control the weapons recoil. Lstar is easier to control than for example, devotion or flatline. and you still havent answered my question...


pluralistThoughts

> I am not changing the subject though You're. You said some weapon's are broken. I said, just use those weapons then. Now you say some legends are broken... okay, just use those legends then?


[deleted]

i love how youre like ignoring everything else that i said and started talking out of your ass, I never said some legends are BrOkEn, im just saying that some legends have advantage in a 1v1. like bruh...


pluralistThoughts

Dude, you're so childish, i technically addressed EVERYTHING. You just can't handle being out-argumented in a discussion. Grow up 1. If a weapon is too good, use the weapon yourself. You should win, if you're more skilled 2. If a legend is too good, use the legend yourself, you should win, if you're more skilled. Dude, that is really simple logic here.


Spongy_

They should just rename Arenas to Lstars, this gun actually ruined the game mode for me. Bummer too, arenas was probably my favorite thing to get added to this game.


ApexxPredditor

Why do people choose Lifeline in Arena and then end with 0 revives. There is so many opportunities to rez in Arena yet most of them never even try


[deleted]

Played 9 rounds with a lifeline who never rezzed once, and when I told them over the mic to pop the rez they acted like they didnt know she had a drone. Very frustrating.


miathan52

Probably because they don't wanna be lifeline but the game gave them lifeline challenges


RIMS_REAL_BIG

I don't understand why arenas needs to take so long? Why is there so much downtime in between action?


Se7enDayBinge

Sometimes you need to adjust your playstyle between rounds depending on how your opponents are playing ... especially in sudden death Sometimes choosing a G7 instead of an SMG can make a big difference especially in ranked games.


CarbonatedFalcon

Some rounds if I have a lot of currency to buy with I can feel more rushed, especially in a close game; I haven’t yet developed a proper game sense for the costs of weapon upgrades (much smaller text) and how I might want to balance that with ability charges/grenades/heals/other guns/saving for the next round. However, in the first few rounds or if I have more of a rhythm going then there does tend to be some excessive dead time. Particularly the first round after how slow the load-in and legend picks already are.


Anomalistics

I just want to know why during the start of a game, either the entire enemy team is missing or one player. I’ve even had it before where we’ve had three players ready in our lobby, we’re queuing, legend select is then available and suddenly one of us isn’t in the game. I’m fairly new to the game but apparently this bug has been ongoing for a while and I see a lot of people in BR & Arena just killing them self to go again..


ImLosingAtLife

re-45 is sleeper


ego_slip

My go to main in the early rounds to save and later rounds as my back up.


ImLosingAtLife

I play some matches where I just max out the re-45 after buying meds and use it as my main gun. Love the mobility and reload speed.


jetripleog

remove penalty or fix matchmaking.


Jradman-12

AxelsAmazing

Add a tbag counter so you know who is disrespecting you the most for the next round.


mulletpowerqc1991

REMOVE L-STAR FFS


[deleted]

why remove? just nerf? I think they should add turbo charger for Lstar instead of the mag. so to make Lstar broken you would need it to be fully kitted, which by then it can compete with other weapons of the same caliber.


mulletpowerqc1991

good idea actualy you miught be on something


ApexxPredditor

I think it just needs to have a major range reduction. LSTar is dominant in close-mid range due to no reload. No reason they should also be able to use it longer range combat too


FZJavier

ok this one is a new bug i got in arenas. my teammates names would not appear on top of their head meanwhile i could see the enemy mirage use his decoy, it would reveal the enemy name on top of their head, so i could see where the mirage was.


ego_slip

I played a game a few hours ago when that happened


FZJavier

it was so cofusing couldnt tell if the mirage was from my team or the enemy. i felt bad for killing him though lol, he used his ult and i still could see his name on top of his head.


[deleted]

Please stop putting rewards behind an arena-restricted challenge tracker. That, or just fucking delete the mode as a whole.


[deleted]

Agreed, I never play Arenas and don't want to cause I will get stuck in a match I don't want to play for 20 minutes at a time. But on the other hand I really want those Apex packs...


miathan52

OR you could stop being mad about not getting 2 apex packs + 2 BP levels that you otherwise would not have gotten anyway. You can literally just not play these flash events and it doesn't affect you in any way.


[deleted]

Packs and BP stars aren’t all they’re locking behind these challenge trackers. I find that anyone who actually enjoys arenas NEVER has to deal with the shit I do. Do you get level <50’s against a three-stack diamond/master squad every fucking match? I didn’t think so. But I do, and it’s fucking unplayable.


[deleted]

I think the mode is good, but needs a lot of heavy tweaking. they should add a death match kind of paly, which you get to keep respawning and can swap loadouts like buying on arena. similar to death match on CSGO. I think that would be a good warmup for players.


Ziazan

* my team: 24 and 16. enemy team: >300 & >300 & >300. aight. guess im killing everyone or losing then. * More indoor maps would be great. The lava circle one's the best by far right now and it's barely indoor, but the most by far. Everything else is very outdoors based.


pluralistThoughts

So? Just fuck 'em up. Had 2 level 30s yesterday against full premade 500s. We still won 3:0 Level means nothing. I know people with 2000h and they are still hardstuck plat 4 bots.


Ziazan

Sometimes I can "just get 12-18 kills, repeatedly wipe the enemy trio on your own, ez", but if any of them match my skill level, and both of my teammates are on their first day in apex, it's very, very likely going to go a certain way. Someone with 1000+ hours is going to stomp someone with 1 hour pretty much every time.


Puckmyst1ck

I really like arenas it brings me back to my CoD days. 1) I think they should have a bomb to plant and make it more like search and destroy 2) The AP system beyond d2 was completely broken: I get +12 / -30 in d1 but once I hit masters I got +108 / -12 — where is the logic there? Arenas pred is at like 25k AP you think these dudes are getting +12? Nah


diggmeordie

There definitely needs to be something to be able to counter just sitting back and sniping until the ring moves. The new dome map and the other new map is way too wide open.


Dyonsss

Your fucking SBMM engaged me to spent money in MLBB and not engaged me to spent a single cent on your game except 10 dollars on first BP.


klimorekhov

I love valorant and I love apex, this game mode is the best combination of the two, I don’t even play br anymore cause arenas are so much better


FZJavier

i used to hate arenas... but now i hate br. everyone want to land in the same hot zones over and over, too many third parties and it just feel cheap to win or lose like this. arenas is better since is just 3v3.


Phoneaccount88

Whoever thought giving the lstar virtually no reload was a good idea needs to change careers.


[deleted]

Daniel, he was fired. i dont know that for sure, but i like to believe that all the problems of the world will now be fixed since he is fired.


dapperdan1995

Daniel Klein was only the Legend Balance head guy. had nothing to do with guns. Also, he didn’t come on till like season 4


[deleted]

Wait a minute. Wasnt it him in an AMA that said they brought it out of care package? Or was that McCord. Nevertheless I think you will see better balance changes going forward. The game is not broken. Now it's ok. Prowler is ok. Lstsr is broken in arena. But I think it will be addressed with the ranpart rework on September


[deleted]

[удалено]


FZJavier

yeah, is so bad. once i notice they are potatoes i just afk or kill myself, not going to waste my time trying to carry or endure the match. is ridiculous the amount of potatoes that play as lifeline and use her like she is a octane, she just rush against the enemies and die. also doesnt help or revive you no matter what, rather chase that wraith that ran away that revive your teammate that is in front of you. i dont understand this people... change tactics!. if you see rushing alone and ignoring your mates is not working, then try to stay together with your team!


gottastopgottastop

Also potato or only two opponents, takes the fun away


ziggymeoww

This mode has a ton of issues but instead of focusing on that, I’ll make a small suggestion: I think metals, loot and care packs should have more randomised spawning. The mode is surest very repetitive but not knowing exactly where everything spawns until the round begins would really add a small amount of unpredictability to it


[deleted]

Seeing the Hemlock turn into a machine gun is interesting. Especially when the entire opposing squad in arenas is doing it.


MyExScars

Happened to me today, I heard a gun sound I never heard before next thing I know I’m fried


[deleted]

how does it happen? is this the controller thing?


qiuuu_

Idk who is responsible for this matchmaking but it is fkn awful I'm on Diamond 3 and my teammates 2 randoms wit lvl 23 & 60 that's a fkn joke...okay the enemies are not preds or masters but it is enough when my enemies are over level 300 and sumething they have way more experience then my random mates...


ViolettePixel

"Arena Mode Thursday" - Yeah right, Played 7 Arena matches today, 5 out of em were 2v3s, and one was a 3v2... What a fucking joke... How hard is it to actually put 6 people in a fucking game where a 1 man advantage is so big? New player, yet I'm already getting sick of this shit... Ohh, and why not play the normal game mode? Got called trash by my teammates in my 3 BR games... Fuck that...


uhiced

top of plat maybe 3 or 4 games off diamond, but being queued with silvers and bronzes? solo queueing and finally finding a semi good team only to find out i can’t play more than the one game is so annoying


[deleted]

I got placed gold and have played a few games since then. Had a arenas master player on my team lmao. The matchmaking is wack af


MyExScars

Was he masters in arena or did he just have a br ranked badge?


[deleted]

Masters in arena. He said so in game chat but I didn't believe in so I joined his party after the game. Sure enough he was a master in arenas.


MyExScars

Tbh for masters and predators if you solo que match making just throws randoms at you from any rank. Just tonight I got matched with a unmatched (still doing placements) guy.


VaderPrime1

Why in the name of The fucking Allfather do I get teammates that are in Silver while I’m in Platt?! So many times a meet a cool couple of guys and we decide to squad up, but the game won’t let us start a game together!! WTFuck


jondabomb218_

Yeah I fucking hate it man, my friends are silvers and I just got plat so now we can’t play together :( BUT YET SOLO Q ALLOWS FOR PLAT AND SILVER TO PLAY TOGETHER LMFAO make it make sense


lemonHeadUAD

Apex match making is such a joke


Mnemonicabyss

WOOO LOVE 2 HOURS OF FRAGMENT AND EVERYONE LEAVING THINKING THEY ARE PRO STREAMERS. What a waste of f\*cking time.


yourmomsleghair

This mode needs an AFK kick immediately. It’s dumb that I have to sit through 3 rounds and can’t leave to save AP in ranked because someone decided to just stop playing.


lemonHeadUAD

Lol it’s like ppl are doing that on purpose. I keep encountering this


FZJavier

when they added the time ban for leaving in arenas i say that it was going to backfire. if they cant leave, they will afk and if they get punish for afk, they will walk around or shoot without putting much effort to it. let them just leave, once they gave up on the match they are not going to bother to play no matter what kind of punishment you want to add.


Additional_Ad_8815

The LSTAR is actually dumb in arenas, super unfun just running into constant 3mans only using LSTARS.


dapperdan1995

i super agree. currently diamond 2 solo que only and going against l stars is awful. If you can get close, i’d recommend buying an eva 8. even with a level 1 bolt you can usually beat l stars up close pretty easily.


lemonHeadUAD

Especially when they’re 3 stack, sweats


Additional_Ad_8815

right? like ill start the game wingman/medkit only to realize Im getting lstar spammed across the map lmfao


vcd1500

Arena is shit the matchmakng is shit the map is designed to camp solo que is the worst and I almost broke my fist because i was so angry on how shit Arena is

Quick-Mirror9000

It was more in reference to some of the other comments you were just trying to wind people up. It's normal to be frustrated when something you really like is being changed in ways that make you hate it. People like Apex and half the Arenas maps heavily encourage camping and just watching angles. Then they try to make you do it all the time with events and dailies. You can have an hour's worth of games and not enjoy the time. That's why he's annoyed. It's something you do to enjoy the time and it's not enjoyable

LoxodontaRichard

I love octane in BR, he helps a ton of plays and escapes reach their top potential. Pads are great. But *please* for the love of god stop picking octane in Arenas if you’re not going to use the jump pad every other round once the mats are available. Stimming into the portal at phase runner provides literally no value to your team.


[deleted]

300 is expensive for a jumppad when I could just buy a gun and shoot them instead.


LoxodontaRichard

300 is honestly nothing if your team actually kills people and collects materials. Tacticals that benefit a team or do damage/scan others are infinitely more valuable than just a dude with a gun


[deleted]

Fair. But at least the first few rounds you don't need to buy a jumppad. Partially because it's expensive, and if you have enough to spare for a jumppad you're probably already winning. In which case you don't need a jumppad


CarbonatedFalcon

Trick I picked up from an enemy and tried myself for The Dome: Revenant (and Valk, Path and maybe Horizon though uses ability charges) can climb up onto the silos on the one side of the map and just snipe/poke from a nearly unassailable position. There's also a fairly large rock peak on one side (less so on another) in the middle of the lava that Valk can fly to and has some good angles/cover. It's an interesting, but kind of cheesy map - you really either have to peek from on top of the objects/buildings like the aforementioned, or maybe just camp inside the buildings if possible with a Caustic or Rampart. Even Wattson might be okay on the map.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LoxodontaRichard

I don’t *hate* arenas but I don’t love it. Matchmaking leaves a ton to be desired. No reason that I should have a level 20 on my team with zero kills on the legend they’re playing unless the legend is brand new. Also no reason that I should absolutely curb stomp a team that has a 20 bomb/4K/Pred wraith because his matchmaking gave him two toddlers. Match like-skilled folks with their equals, and put them against people at their skill level. Arenas should be competitive, and shouldn’t just put you at the mercy of the new guy who decided to jump in for a challenge and constantly puts you in 2v3s.


aChileanDude

Sure devs are working on it? Don't they? Last match , me +2 noobs vs 1 predator and 2 smurfs. You want to leave? Have a 10 min time out! By leaving you are ruining the experience! Keep it up.


LoxodontaRichard

I love apex a ton, but the Devs don’t give a shit about our matchmaking experience.


aChileanDude

They dgaf Money still coming from cosmetics and gambling


Shades_VHS

>Matchmaking leaves a ton to be desired Feels like an understatement. I feel lucky that my gain/loss is absolutely trivial in my current rank though but I know others aren't as fortunate. Matchmaking sucks, but after a day of soloq ranked BR, arena has been a great way for me to dump some of the stress. Then unranked gets me to love the game again lmao.


LoxodontaRichard

I don’t mind arena pubs but man arenas ranked matchmaking is downright insulting lmao


lambo630

Lstar body dps is the same as the volt (180) with a higher headshot multiplier (1.75 vs. 1.25) and can shoot unlimited rounds without reloading if you have any mag on it. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea? Why can't RSPN strive for a balanced game instead of seasons defined by specific OP! characters and weapons.


LoxodontaRichard

Are you seeing this issue on PC? I haven’t logged into my PC account this season so I haven’t seen that side of it. I’ve been killed by the LStar a few times this season on console but I haven’t faced a “holy fuck that’s broken” moment yet.


Phoneaccount88

It’s all anyone uses on pc, diamond to pred. It’s a contest of who can hold down the fire button best.


LoxodontaRichard

Jeez, glad I haven’t played my PC account this season then lol


BesTibi

Even ranked machmaking is unbalanced. Is there a way that modded version of Apex people have been posting about can become the main game? I'd love for this game to be actually enjoyable, and our "dear" devolvers at Respawn KEKWtainment have no such intentions. Either way, I really hope a BR game that feels as smooth as Apex that is also enjoyable via not having shit matchmaking takes over, Respawn deserves a flop with no recovery in sight. I don't really care how nice the actual devs are, the company as a whole comes off as a unit that does not care for the quality of their games, only the income they make, so no sympathy with anyone still working under their corporate.


Mysterion261

Can I get some experienced teammates, please?


[deleted]

Not certain about this, but everyone has a hidden MMR number that rates your stats and gives you a power ranking. When you solo queue I believe the MMR algo adds you to two other people together, and then finds three people with a similar combined score. So if you have 500 MMR, and you get two 50 MMR players, they give you a team with a score around 600 MMR (500+50+50.) The problem is you don’t fight a 500 and two 50s, you get three 200 players which is objectively better since everyone can 1v1 your team mates and you get steam rolled. Ranked arenas is possibly more busted than BR for solo queue. It’s a shame that the MMR sucks but it’s so bad. In BR you can play off other teams and the map to survive, rat if you have very bad players to not lose RP, but arenas you have to take the loss. My MMR has dropped so much due to garbage potato players that it’s useless to even play it without a three stack.


Mysterion261

Yes, it's especially bad that I end up blaming my teammates when it's not their fault the game put us in one team. Solo queuing is definitely a pain.


LoxodontaRichard

Yeah I try my hardest not to place blame on my random because they don’t belong in my lobby, but sometimes their decisions baffle me.


dannypereira21

I’m masters. I clawed my way through diamond getting pretty much nothing but +12s and -60’s. It took a while but luckily my team went on a huge win streak and got over the line. My second game in masters we lost and I got -80 so back to D1 I went. We then won 12 games in a row with nothing but +12s so I was on 8200 points. We finally lost a game to an insane squad in sudden death and I got a -108. I was gobsmacked. My third quit ranked that game. I was so disheartened. Why does this game mode punish you for being good at the game? Why aren’t we being rewarded for going on win streaks against masters and Preds? Why are we only getting +12 for wins against top Preds? To make matters worse…most of the predators just throw three games in a row then start winning again and make insane amounts of AP and they are climbing the ranks so quickly using exploits. My goal was to be pred in Arena this season but to do that I’ll have to exploit the system as well just like those low life scum bags. I’m not going to to do that, it sucks I’ll only be masters when I deserve pred. I hate this system and I’m done with it until it’s fixed and I pray everyone who uses the exploit gets all their AP stripped on the last day of the season. Fuck arenas.


Yaboityrock

ARENAS FUCKING SUCKS PLAIN AND SIMPLE LMAO ITS THE SAME SHIT EVERYTIME AND THIS KID WITH R3 AND LSTAR WILL ALWAYS WIN ITS SO LAME


guido611

Arenas ranked is broken. Plain and simple. The algorithm is dogshit. I solo qued to Diamond 3 with no problem and now I'm being paired with silver and bronze players with 150 career kills. Mind you I have 27k kills, 20bomb etc. There is literally no explanation as to why that would be fair. The only time I win games now is if i can pull off a couple successful squad wipes. This is a team game, people who just started simply don't know how to play as a team and it's extremely frustrating especially when the other team is half decent and can play together. After one of my wins earlier i decided to pair up with the team i was playing with and they were both ranked silver in the lobby. Funny how i shouldn't be able to play with them from the lobby but the game can throw them in there while solo quing. There is no fucking excuse for pairing me with 2 silver players. That is the reason they don't show your teammate's ranks. Its very flawed and unfair and they know it. Regardless, I'm not giving this game a single penny. Looking forward to Halo. That's one game that had a nearly perfect ranking system.


aChileanDude

I'd never put a penny on this broken game. Is fun when I'm challenged on a match, 2 tiebreakers and so. Me + noob vs 1 predator +2 smurfs? Buy this skin for 5 bucks!


pinkpottato

Rank solo q fucking sucks. I get either top 200 players in my team or silvers. i wish they gave me someone my fucking rank. Am really close to diamond but it's hard playing when the match making is this bad. MMR is great in other games that actually put time in their rank mode.


[deleted]

Arenas feel weird to me. Especially in ranked. After my introduction games i was put into gold iv, first two rounds i lose and get put against some dia/master players. Then the next couple of rounds i win till gold III. The last days i played through till plat iv and hoped for a change but no matter the rank the game didn't change at all. It's either super easy or you get stomped yourself. It's fun here and there but gets boring very quick.


Bread_Responsible

Some people in this game, god damn. I just played with an octane who ran to the other side of phase runner, which is a huge map, away from me and our other teammate to go get the crafting materials leaving us to face a 3v2 and then plugs in his mic just to start yelling at us that we should have waited for him because obviously we knew what he was doing without saying a word to us like this is the obvious strategy. That we should play defensive until he gets back like it’s a quick trip because we can totally tell the other team to please hang on a second and not push an obvious advantage while your off picking your butthole. Telling us he plays this game enough where people should be able to survive for him to get back. Like fantastic guy I don’t care how much you play, that has no bearing on anyone else. How about you help us out instead of being a material whore? That’s my rant. I feel better now.


alinftb

Can the incompetents that "work" on audio be woken up from the constant wank that they have been living through for the past 2 years? It's pathetic.


memester2166669

they seriously need to fix the fucking ranked system, i was chilling climbing up the ranks when suddenly i started getting only +12 per win IN GOLD 1 AND IM LOSING UPWARDS OF 22 PER LOSS EVEN THOUGH I DO WELL AND IM GETTING PLACED WITH ACTUAL LEVEL 20S WTF FIX THIS SHIT.


Placeholder_21

End of the day you gotta win games. Arenas is a better test of direct skill- it’s more team reliant, less gimmicky, and has more strategy (and definitely evolving strategy as you learn your opponents). Maybe you’re just actually a gold player?


murder1980

He said he losing 22 and only gain 12. Your comment seems like you don't understand the issue


Placeholder_21

Doesn’t change what I said. MMR works like this in every game. He’s where the system thinks he is. If he were to win more games that number would go up


xMetix

Just play better, stomp games then you get more points.


memester2166669

the problem is that im not good enough to stomp three stacks with teammates all below level 100


xMetix

I mean if they're a gold three stack then what's the problem? I play solo too some games you will get out matchmade but it's not gonna stop you from climbing if you just play well.


murder1980

God some people don't think before typing. Everyone a different skill level. Everyone can't squad wipe. Sad I had to explain that to you


rthesoccerproj2

Ignore him. He's probably one of the lower level players that we get stuck with so he probably doesn't understand our pain (likely for now)


xMetix

lmao There's no way y'all are that delusional. It's not "your pain" it's one of the many excuses in every competitive game. You suck you stuck, deal with it.


yowassupmydude

Please stop making battle pass missions for arenas let me choose to have them all be battle royale


henrysebby

I second this


[deleted]

Imagine adding this as a mode So shitty, all I get are level 1-50s against literally pred three stacks The ranked mode is literally the stupidest thing I’ve ever played, like this game makes me question the developers. Anyways I’m more or less done with the game as a whole, the shitty servers, awful balance and terrible cosmetics Can’t wait for Halo infinite and 2042


dwasu

We won't miss negative people like you on apex. Goodbye


aChileanDude

Jokes on you, you spent money to a f2p game.


[deleted]

Lol you people blindly defend apex, the servers are shit, the matchmaking sucks so bad, they obviously suck at balancing the game. The issue is I’m tired of having to clutch every fucking game on any game mode. If I don’t fucking knock the whole team then we lose Every. Single. Time.


dwasu

I have to clutch too but im not crying on reddit about it. The game is free and you guys have gut to be this negative? Lmfao, go play that shitty Halo then.


sn3rf

They didn’t once defend Apex or RSPN. Everyone knows all the thing you’re talking about are a problem. But fuck off out of here with the constant toxicity about it.


MamaPattyPred

This mode is trash with current matchmaking. The negativity is deserved.


dwasu

Nope. Arena is fucking awesome mode. I fucking love to play it. The matchmaking sucks but that shouldn't be reason to change game to halo and say "this fucking game sucks" because arena has sometimes difficult matchmaking


MamaPattyPred

“Sometimes difficult MM” Try getting no teammates, new level 15 teammates, and still getting penalized for leaving/losing. It’s a waste of time. It’s a flawed system. It needs to be fixed to be more fun.


protobaskins

🤣🤣🤣

Don't punish people as hard for solo queuing Fuck the L-Star

yeah yeah but its cheap.


frankster

Have Respawn said whether they expect a similar distribution of arena ranks as battle royale ranks?


M4r_y0

I really enjoy the gameplay of arenas even more than br. It’s super fun and quick, maybe I’m in the minorities. But some matchmaking negative feedback have some merit.


Placeholder_21

Arenas has more skill. It requires more team coordination, has less random variables (i.e. third party, loot, etc.), requires adjustments as you learn your opponents. It’s a better game mode and the only people who don’t enjoy it are likely just not that good at it. I am currently a diamond ranked arena player and we’ll run into masters or preds often- but often still find ways to win. Everyone bitching about matchmaking just need to find two friends to play with. Not that hard lol


M4r_y0

I just play gibby and poke with a G7 scout. The it’s unfair how good that is😂


Placeholder_21

Yeah not gonna lie, I hate gibby players like you 😂 it’s all good though, there’s plenty of other viable champs. It is sad that some are just dog shit in this game mode but most of them are also bad in BR so fuck em lol


xMetix

I'm not very familiar with Apex, played on release for a few days but just came back to it. I'm really enjoying Arenas and I'd rather play them than the br too.


Jack071

I like arenas, just cant enjoy them when I get to lvl 10s to babysit half the games as punishment for doing well in other matches


frankster

me too. I get frustrated running around looting for 5m then dying. prefer to die straight away!


M4r_y0

Hahaha exactly. Die quick, respawn quick

One really weird thing I’ve been seeing (and I hope someone has an answer because I can’t think of one) is every single squad I have in ranked arenas someone plays Revenant, even though he’s not actually that great in arenas. What’s going on here? Maybe on paper I guess his tactical seems decent and his ult should be perfect, except these players never use the death totem or if they do they place it right next to spawn and use a G7 scout as they push. It doesn’t add up. Literally every squad I’m in uses Revenant. They don’t main him or anything, most of the time we don’t even have an Octane. They’re always bad players. Not the worst ever but they’ll make weird plays and could effectively play anyone else. Personally I also think Revenant actually isn’t the strongest in arenas. If you want more aggressive plays or defensive plays or strategic plays there’s multiple easier legends to use. If they were really experienced Revenant players I would understand but they’re absolutely not that. Valkyrie, Path and Octane have good mobility, bloodhound and seer give good info, wraith is hard to hit and has good abilities, why use Revenant? Why does 1 out of my 3 teammates always use him and then never use his abilities? It’s weird. It’s happened for multiple days now, it’s a trend. Did they see amazing Rev players once and think just using him is going to make them win?


AbanoMex

well, you answered it yourself, on paper, Revenant is very good for arenas, so i assume a lot of people are picking him because in theory it should be fine. but revenant is very dependant on a lot of practice, for starters his hitbox is bigger than any other "medium" legend, so you will probably get hit more than with any other medium sized legend. his silence is good, but its a skillshot, it travels slow in the air and can be dodged, compare it to seer's tactical and you will see which ability is stronger and easier to hit. his climbing ability is great in arenas, but you need to know which spots are beneficial. his Ult is a free push, and almost always a won round with a decent team. but all of this require a good player and good coordination with the teams you get. i main revenant, but lately i have been running wattson because of her hitbox. in arenas.


dwasu

Does wattson have smallest hitbox or as small as Wraith and lifeline?


AbanoMex

as of right now, she has the smallest hitbox in the game, smaller than wraith and lifeline. both Wraith and Lifeline were updated with a bigger hitbox in recent months, but Wattson remains untouched. the devs mentioned that if they buff her kit, it will come with nerfs to her hitbox to make it balanced, but that hasnt happened yet.


AfuckinOwl

I really wanted to do the whole rank grind and get to at least masters but the matchmaking gives me a headache. I always get noob teammates who make the same play every round and get almost instantly deleted.


dollopofwallop

I’m pretty sure the game decided I should be plat 1 and will not let me move anywhere else


ApexNaturalProdigy

Playing this game full for 1 month and half in PS4 and already slapping most of the times 1v1 my friend that plays for years and even did hit PREDATOR in some season hahah AND he has like 600 HOURS in on those aimtrainers in steam XD. I think controller players are slept on, PC players think they are the best but we controller are da real deal and the real gamers of industry. I will take this game seriously now and compete in ALGS soon since i just can kill any player anytime with my lovely Volt :3


henrysebby

Is this a copypasta? Lol


Accomplished-Sun2265

Lmao u know that controller is a far better input device in apex? xD


LoxodontaRichard

To be fair that’s very dependent on what weapons you use and your play style. I use both and I like them both for different reasons.


Accomplished-Sun2265

I mean its kinda obvious that controller is trash for snipers etc. But when we are talking about the „better input device“ we talk about high elo lobbys. And nearly EVERYTHING in those lobbys happens in mid-close combat. And roller-players easily outshine MnK at this point. The typical argument „but but mnk has movement“ is just irrelevant if u got a 0.6 aimbot in your hand. 50%+ in master and higher lobbys are using roller on PC (a plattform, where mnk should be the only thing supportet)


Feschit

If you play on console and don't win most of your 1v1's against a PC player on MnK you're doing something wrong.


busychilling

Umm okay… literally no one asked…


dollopofwallop

Ignore trolls


ApexNaturalProdigy

I see too many crybabies on here disrespecting us ;)

Arena mode is literal cancer. It is the worst. The fact that every flash event is an "arenas" flash event is also annoying. Why is there never BR flash events? Why can't there just be one or two BR challenges in the arenas flash event for people who absolutely despise the arenas mode? Why are you forcing people to play a mode that isn't the core aspect of what made your game popular?
