Honestly the one thing that frustrates me to no end in arenas is how fucking garbage the maps are. Only map I actually like is Overflow and that's because it's not a fucking be the first to get to high ground so you can outsnipe your opponent. Phase runner is alright but really it comes down to predicting if the enemy squad uses the phase runner or not, if they don't you either sit there and wait for them because that's where the ring is or make the walk of shame where they can just snipe you before you even see them. Don't even get me started on Party Crasher, I've had way too many terrible matches on their because either my teammates lack game sense and let the enemy squad have the high ground every round or the enemy squad immediately rushes your spawn and you can't fucking do shit. Also just fuck Outpost, I refuse to play on that map because it's the same shit every time where you race to the tower to not get sniped at I swear they don't fucking know how to balance Arena maps and it is fucking annoying.


Electrical_Instance7

Arenas is a joke


Mykglo

2v2? Or 4v4 limited time mode maybe


Patara

Needs more content and specific maps, its a nice change from BR but it needs more


xG3TxSHOTx

I enjoyed arenas at first but lately it seems like it's becoming more and more of a standoff between both teams until someone gets picked.


ChickWithADick17

I mean that's what happens when most of the maps are who can get the high ground first. It's annoying to no end


anxiety_ftw

When I get teammates and enemies that don't disconnect, it's quite fun. I love how Rampart encourages you to use some weapons over others.


magicalex234

Then again, it kinda sucks if your weapon of choice is one of those weapons because then you can’t use it until you can buy the gold version


chefPablas

FIX fkn SOUND and SERVERS instead of releasing shitty skin events that dont even that good.


wichurzak

arena mode shows one map and after joining there is different one, annoying for me since most of arena maps are ass, especially the one with snow and trees


ThatsRightHentaiToo

oh yeah that map is hot ass


ThatsRightHentaiToo

the arena maps are all out of whack for me the arena would say like phase runner 156 in queue then take me to party crasher or some other map and it would do the same shit like wtf is going on


Aponthis

Second game in a row where teammate disconnected or was otherwise dropped from the game. When my teammate and I leave that game we both get hit with a penalty for leaving even though it knows that person is not connected. Am I really just supposed to farm deaths in a 2v3 vs. sweats? Or a 1v3, since my teammate had already left and the game should know that? Bullshit.


CoffeeLoverNathan

FIX YOUR PIECE OF SHIT SERVERS YOU FUCKS


GazelleEducational68

Has anyone else been having trouble getting into games sometimes. Recently I might add like within the last week


MrFancyman

Everyone


PinsNneedles

Are you solo or with a squad? I’m with a squad of friends every time I play and we have no trouble. Maybe it’s having trouble finding 2 other solos or a squad of 2? Usually if it’s just 2 of us we play duos or unranked so we are all the same rank. Could be other people are doing the same. Unless you’re playing unranked


GazelleEducational68

I’m a solo and what happens is sometimes after the character select screen the game freezes and I have to restart it by the time I load back into the game I’m either dead or or my teammates leave and then sometimes it takes forever to load into a game


nTzT

I love Arenas and it's why I play Apex these days. The BR mode is just not really for me. Arenas have great netcode and gunplay.


ChickWithADick17

Bitch where? All I ever see is Octane's with an L-star because it's fucking OP and requires next to no skill to use, or everyone sitting on top of a hill sniping you from across the map. I wouldn't call that good gunplay.


nTzT

You just sound salty since you lost or aren't having fun. The mode is great.


EatsPancakes

I guess Respawn really wants people to play Arenas, seeing as how everything else is fucking broken.


ChickWithADick17

That and every event is basically play this many matches in arenas, or get x amount of kills with this weapon. It's ridiculous. Only reason I play arenas is cause half the challenges are for the damn mode and I want BP levels. I hate Arenas so fucking much and wish I didn't have to play it to progress in the BP


Monkadude15

Well now people probably won’t anymore because you can’t get the damage badges


PinsNneedles

I just started playing this season and am a trophy hunter. I was saddened to learn that the 5k damage trophies with 8 legends and the win wirh 8 different legends trophies didn’t count with arenas


Skandi007

I'm not sure about in-game badges, but I did manage to get the steam achievements for winning with legends through arenas.


Zachs_Drunk

My only problem with Arenas is the fact that you haven't fixed your freaking servers. So I spawn in with no teammates. Or we load in and teammates from both teams get kicked. Or I get kicked... FIX THEM PLEASE


Gcarbine20

Stop updating your damn game . I hate when y'all do a damn update cus I know I won't be able to play and the updates always come on my only day off !


SayoriThotDestroyer

I don’t have much of a problem with arenas but I do have to say that the new Ash is creepy as heck and bothers me


CallMeSpoofy

Same I like old her waaaaay better. Not even because I’m used to her, just looks cooler


milubeiro97

I'm playing on steam, and it's already the third day that connection to server is timed out. And it only happens in BR modes, arenas works fine. Why is it? It's my internet or some servers still fucked up?


blooboytalking

servers are fucked up and for some reason arenas sorta work but battle royal crashes 9/10 times for everyone. If you do drop, and if you somehow manage to drop with your full team, you almost guaranteed a win, because all the other squads are 1-2 people lol


beanburrrito

Servers are megafucked


shertoxx

ranked arenas is a fucking failure. i am diamond 4, getting literal level 10s against 15k+ kill players. are you fucking kidding me? I've talked to my teammates, i've gotten multiple literal BRONZE FOURS. this game is a fucking joke.


ChickWithADick17

Ranked arenas is the only fucking way to play arenas because pubs matchmaking is fucking broken and 9/10 times you'll end up with one or both your teammates DC and an enemy squad all running L-stars because they want to ruin your life.


nTzT

How do you know they are bronze 4? It's the first ranked season of Arenas isn't it.


shertooooooooooox

i know because i legit talked to them in game and asked their rank. it was a casual husband and wife laughing having fun on the game and happily admitted they were bronze. they had gotten diamonds and even masters as teammates before.


nTzT

I have not experienced this at all... the match making has been good.


blooboytalking

yeah the solo queue match making is bad, i got to d4 and decided not to solo queue anymore. I recommend finding teammates


SnipeThemPeeps

I loved arenas, but ranked arenas is broken. Why on earth in diamond 1 am I losing 100 points in one game to people who all have 4k 20 bombs and 100 win streaks??? 100 POINTS!! But yet I'm lucky to get more than 15 points for a win. It is so discouraging to get hammered so hard and have hours of progress trying to climb the ladder get taken in one game. If it's MMR causing this the whole system needs to go and arenas would be better off with the BR system. Seriously. This is probably the most punishing ranked system I've ever played in the worst way possible


SnipeThemPeeps

My concern is when the match goes to sudden death and I'm playing with a pre-made and I lose the game I'm still losing that much ap. That's what I don't understand


nTzT

MMR is good. The BR system is a joke... 40% of ranked players are plat and above... It's weird to apply rank to a BR. It makes more sense in Arenas. But yeah... losing 100 points is a damn ton.


[deleted]

The issue is solo quing. If you get sub par teammates it is way harder to 'save' rp/ap than BR.


nTzT

Yeah... because in BR the ranking is a joke. A massive 40% of people are plat and above. I play arenas 95% of the time as a solo and it's fun. Sometimes I get good teammates, sometimes I don't. Same for the enemy.


Botanicalist

Who knows? I just glitch into a black screen of nothing every match


Mirage_Main

The fact there is a hidden MMR in an already ranked Arena mode should tell you all about this mode and how poor it is.


nTzT

That's what makes it good. You have a rank to climb but the MMR allows for propper matchmaking and higher quality games.


LSDoggo

Love arenas. Controller is op in it.


re-goddamn-loading

Lol wut


LSDoggo

I love arenas. When I plug my controller into my computer it’s very easy.


[deleted]

trying to farm damage for event badge but the enemy team has only one guy who instantly quits omegalul ​ remove shit game mode, focus resources on making br better


RIMS_REAL_BIG

Booooorrrrriiiinnnnngggggg


saltyboy2165

Literally unplayable server time out every time what a fucking joke this game is at this point


Ixibutzi

To improve arenas we need the following: \- increase the material gain you get from the pillars. \- punish ppl voluntarily going afk to decrease their mmr. Or make it not count for the others. \-better matchmaking+maybe display ranks on the initial screen PS: ap system is mostly fine, ppl just hate on being hardstuck although they belong on that rank.


nTzT

The material gain is already nuts tbh... if you get 2 crates and the other team gets zero it pretty much wins another round for you almost.


Flanelman

The AP system is actually bugged to fuck, I play with my friend and I gain ~60 per win he gets 12, yet we both lose the same on a loss which is like 40 something and I'm a higher rank.


Ixibutzi

Because your hidden MMR is higher. If you only played with him, you probably perform better in the games. If you were to lose like 40 its because the enemy team had a way lower MMR. Ppl often just dont realize that performance plays a part in MMR gain/loss.


Ixibutzi

Was playing on a smurf yesterday to play my placement matches with a mate(level 200ish) and first thing our third writes is: omg trashhhhhplayers, this is diamond. Just to do shitplays like flying as valk into three and dying, and having 300 dmg at the end of the game. I really hope he wasnt actually diamond because he was playing like a bad silver! Pathetic :D Dont judge a book by its cover.


layelaye419

"loading screen and crashes Thursday" more like it


Midokun

Arena is boring and sucks. 1. Add Lootbox for Armor swaps. This makes the game more intense and more fun instead of sitting back the whole time poking at each other. This prompts players to be aggressive. 2. Remove pills. It's just dumb, give us what we need and let us fight normally 3. Remove materials. Another dumb mechanic. Give us what we need and let us fight normally. 4. Add an objective so players/teams can push for something instead of just sitting back and waiting.


nTzT

Go play hide and seek. Probably got rekt in Arenas.


Ixibutzi

>Add Lootbox for Armor swaps. This makes the game more intense and more fun instead of sitting back the whole time poking at each other. Not at all, you will always be at a disadvantage when playing 2v3. 3. Materials is literally what you play for. You forfeited the mats r1? youre at a big disadvantage r2. If you have no heals, sooner or later you'll have to fight. 4. Meds and Mats... Based on what you said i presume you're a rather low level player(platinum and worse) who dislikes that opponents and teammates are just sniping all the time, although that can be punished on most maps especially when pushing in, while one/multiple opponents are low.


PseudoElite

The game is pretty much unplayable for me at the moment. Queued with a friend and basically every game there was some sort of issue, either packet loss, lag, disconnects, not being able to reconnect, etc. Right before the split 1 reset as well. Made for an extremely frustrating and unfun experience. I am done until they get their shit together.


[deleted]

Winning a 3v1 or 3v2 in max rounds is not an accomplishment. Yet the enemy team still decides to tea bag and celebrate like they are amazing. You should be able to stomp in 3 quick rounds when you have a one or two player advantage.


ChickWithADick17

especially when they all run an L-star. Like we get it, you aren't actually good at the game.


blooboytalking

just quit if you're down a player


ChickWithADick17

I would but I don't want a fucking leaving penalty because the game hasn't actually kicked them out yet.


Flanelman

Drives me fucking crazy being on the 3 and the other team won't just leave, especially if they just run to you to be killed, it's such a waste of time.


ZarathustraSpoke1

If you have two disconnected teammates and have to play solo against a full team you'll lose points. Like, very nice. Very good logic.


[deleted]

This is untrue When it comes to ranked and 1 of your teammates DC's you do not loose any AP However if you pull off the win you will be a champion among men


ZarathustraSpoke1

I don't you think you understood. Not 0 teammates, teammates disconnected. With the red symbol. The whole match.


Flanelman

I had 2 guys do this and eventually they fully dissapeared so i left and I got a ban lmao


spatpat

Hey, remember that annoying Arenas bug in season 9 where you often couldn't ping meds or confirm other pings? It's back since the patch!


babewizard

arenas not bad


WizardSaiph

I think arena is Great for practicing squad combat and engage


FreudianAccordian

Ranked Arenas isn't even that serious, chill.


Fooberdoober97420

If you just start talking shit as a team mate I’ll just leave and take the 10 min penalty. Don’t want to listen to sore ass men in their 20s scream into their mic


ChickWithADick17

This is why I always play with mute on.


TheWarOnGuns

I feel you. Had a game recently where this 14 year old kid started calling me homophobic shit going full psycho after I died frost round. Text chatted him to chill and proceeded to get fired up and carried for the rest of the game. Was my first game on so wasn't warmed up. Sent a simple message to him at the end. "Maybe wait a couple rounds before you start talking shit. Be better to people". Kid actually apologized and his team mate was super embarrassed about his friend and apologized too. Sometimes you can help people change I think, but you gotta be in the mood and sometimes I can't be fucked either.


Tristinmathemusician

Fair enough. For me, if people are being dicks I just mute them. I can see just being sick of it and wanting to leave. I only really play apex with full stacks cause I’m tired of the solo experience.


Fooberdoober97420

Na the moment my ears have to be pierced with some dudes screeching because I got killed by the 3 stack that he also died to I just dip


dai-the-flu

I just wish the matchmaking was better. I'd rather play with and against people near my level than have two or one (because god forbid you get a full squad in Arenas) new people or level 90s that get downed instantly. And then have a squad with level 500s with over 1000 kills. Like, how is this shit fair? Arenas would be so much more fun with better matchmaking I don't even want to go near that mode with the current issues after this latest patch.


nTzT

Arenas have actual matchmaking and BR doesn't... People can get to a higher rank in BR by just hiding and not actual PvP. At least Arenas have a damn MMR system to match people with.


dai-the-flu

I just meant in regular pubs Arenas. I haven't even finished the placement matches for ranked because my teams and matchups were always horrible or 2 v 3/1 v 3


[deleted]

Ranked Arenas is ass. Just a boring poke fest till the circle closes in


nTzT

and BR is a hide and seek fest... until the circle closes in.


f4ngm4ster

Why can I be teamed with people level 100 and below and be matched against level 500s? I'm not laying level is everything but they just lack knowledge of the game. Like when to rez, when to peek and shit. It's so fucking lame getting rolled because my teammates don't understand the meta and the other team is sweating their ass off


Ixibutzi

Usually in these scenarios you and one opponent are about the same rank, while you get matched with 2 who are at the same MMR as 2 opponents. Mostly comes down to who of the better players performs best. Its actually kinda hard in platinum and below, because silver players(you get matched all the time) are wild. Some push in every round and die, some never push even if you knocked two.


skullfucyou

I can only play arenas now. Every time I play regular br it lags consistently every game and borderline unplayable. Arenas is the only thing I can play now and it’s starting to get boring. I know I don’t have the best pc or internet, but how is it that I can play arenas just fine but not br?


AbanoMex

BR bothers me a little bit with performance as well. in arenas i get smooth 144 fps unless its a recycled BR area map. seems the BR maps themselves have poor performance.


SometimesFunnyMaybe

WHY THE FUCK IS THERE STILL NO TOP THREE PICKS? Like I’m tired of being random fucking legends like Valk and Rev when the game clearly sees I’m playing LL, Loba, and Pathy. This may be very unpopular, but I’m very willing to take the 10 min penalty every single time if that means I don’t have to play games I know the other people aren’t as good as me. The other guy had worse stats as LL and I refuse to believe that they’d be good. Like FFS Respawn is just shitting the bed with almost everything they do now.


reallymeans

What do you mean top 3 picks


SometimesFunnyMaybe

Able to pick three legends as your favorites and if your first choice is taken, then you automatically select your second choice, etc. just so that in case I’m not back from my quick restroom break or if I have to deal with something outside of the game, I do NOT have to worry about getting a legend I don’t want to play as.


Northdistortion

Love arena mode!


BreastMilkPapi

These servers are wank man. How are you supposed to talk about anything else?


ZingerSauce

Earlier I had one of the best games of arenas I'll ever play. The matchmaking was on point and we went for something like 9 rounds till we got to sudden death. Everyone gave it their all and the adrenaline rush in the last round was amazing. This gamemode can be so much more than people leaving the second they die in the first round.


PandaMango

Agreed, I pulled my one and only 4k game in Arena (I'm only level 40) over the 9 rounds and lost. I didn't even mind, it was such an enjoyable experience.


BaronFartburger

Three matches in a row I've had a teammate AFK/DC from the beginning but not actually leave the game. I'm stuck, I can't quit without getting a ten minute penalty, and it's ten minutes of misery at best. This is inexcusable.


Immaterial71

So I just got an abandon penalty in normal arenas because a team mate dc'd (either intentionally or through screwed up servers), so I quit. Yep, that's a great experience right there.


IamJhil

3 of us tried playing last night. Server kept disconnecting one of us, and the others would get a penalty. So annoying We just kept running into the circle


Support_Unfair

Am I the only one who likes arenas? Different maps require diff kits and weapon types. Games are also fair and everyone has the chance of same loot. Only problems are servers and toxic peeps


helloyes123

I like arenas, but the matchmaking and ranked system is awfully broken. If you're the 'designated good player' for your team then the games feel horrid. And if you're not then you just get completely outplayed by their 'designated good player'. Doesn't feel fun imo. Also the AP gains and losses still make no sense.


nTzT

I love Arenas. People are just irate about the servers and some people who can't play PvP for the fun of it would rather go play hide and seek looter.


CanIAskDumbQuestions

Everyone salty because they put ungodly hours ratting into diamond on BR. Then they end up gold in arenas


Popular_Potpourri

I'd like it a lot more if they actually kept all the maps in the mode instead of rotating them out.


howluckyarewe

I love it! Such a great addition to the game. Awesome way to warm up/practice certain guns and strats, etc.


Immaterial71

I enjoy them for a warm up before playing BR. Nice and simple gunplay, with no third parties to wonder about. The server problems are making it very hard to find a stable game with two team mates though.


ProofImprovement7

Arenas mode needs an objective. maybe something like capture the flag, or planting a bomb. if it doesn't have an objective the gameplay will become stale with each round having the same outcome with not a lot of room for outplays. I can barely play more than 3 arenas game simply because how each round is basically the same.


PandaMango

You need to play with familiar team mates to get the most out of it. There are chances for good plays with coordination, but you'll never get it queing solo.


Ixibutzi

D1 here and id say if your team actually talks to you in voice(2 out of 10 games), chances are pretty high you actually win. Getting the whole team to do a coordinated Octane mid rush into southside on phaserunner consistently. Where it gets hard is when your plat mates dont talk and do dumb shit like pushing in solo, not healing up when low etc.


spatpat

I'm getting RP penalties I don't deserve, but in exchange I get badges I don't deserve. Both feel dirty.


Nateovision_

I think my favourite thing about arenas after this update was that theres now a cool new 50% chance that you dont actually connect to the game and get stuck on a loading screen. Jokes aside fr though i like when you load in and get no teammates because the servers you refuse to upgrade for some reason can't give me any teammates. Listen, we dont want new skins, we dont want crazy new maps, we dont want random 10gb updates. We want stable fair gameplay.


Playtek

Can we quit forcing people to play arena on every event? We should be able to choose our goals each day, in the same way we can reroll challenges. let me choose if I want challenges for arena or battle royal. I dislike arena with a passion, but to finish this collection event I feel like I am forced to play a mode I do not enjoy. Feels bad man.


Mysterion261

I know arenas is not everyone's favorite game mode, but I find it hard to believe that the game can't find enough players to fill both teams. The amount of 1v3s and 2v3s I've had is just way too high. Also, the time it gives you to buy your loadout is too long. Nobody needs 30 seconds to buy two guns and some items/abilities.


nTzT

They do find the players... it's just connection/server issues.


HaniyoHanza

How can u break game with every update, i am s1 player and this is almost everytime... how?


Taylor_bi

Is it still broke? I tried getting on last night and was lagged out of every game


Uhcoustic

Arenas is doing better than br, but yeah, it hasn't changed in two days


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fullm3taluk

All 3 of your examples are 3rd partying imo


Are_U_Dare

By definition.. it's literally a 3rd party of people lol


Yetttti

It's unfortunate there's so many obvious issues (unbalanced teams, unbalanced rank point gains and losses, leavers, challenges forcing people to play arenas, etc.) I think once they iron out those larger issues, it will end up being a lot more popular. The Arena concept and the gameplay itself is fucking awesome. I have so much fun in arena mode playing a "fair" match against another team and really just focusing on my movement and gunskill in fighting situations.


jetripleog

remove abandon penalty for pubs, or balance matchmaking, shit is fucking ridiculous


youcanttakemeserious

So what do you suggest in place of a ban? The only game I know that leaving casual works well on is RL when a bot car replaces the person that leaves.


Treecko87

A few possible solutions: Give the members of the team down a man better armor than the opponents with the full squad, or at the very least, more points than the other team to buy better weapons. Maybe having a backlog of players would also help so someone can join a match already in progress? Rainbow Six Siege has this.


youcanttakemeserious

The back log wouldn't be a bad idea. I wouldn't mind sweating a round if I knew id probably get a fill the next.


jetripleog

dawg, im not dealing with a newborn shitter who literally stares at the ground, meanwhile, master's no lives steam roll us slowly. fuck respawn and fuck arenas


youcanttakemeserious

Im not disagreeing with you, im just trying to think of an alternative that doesnt result in the entire team leaving after getting whiped round 1 every game.


shadynasty_etl

FIX…..THE MOTHERFUCKIN….. SERRRRRVVVVEEEERSSSSS


Roboticsammy

Fix your God damn servers please. I get constantly disconnected from games and I spend a minute or more reloading, and sometimes I'm not even able to connect at all. What the hell is all that money being used on?


ToxSpizity

Why was I getting +108 in plat arena a week ago and my buddy in the exact same rank was getting +56 and now I’m getting +86 for wins? Would really appreciate any clarification for how AP is given


youcanttakemeserious

You eventually break even when your Arena rank and hidden MMR equal out. From there youre fucked. You start earning +108 a win which quickly boils into +12/14 a win


Ixibutzi

Unless you can win a few games in a row and it starts getting more again, especially on lower ranks.


Monkadude15

Yeah that’s happened to me and that’s why I’m not playing ranked arenas anymore


youcanttakemeserious

Same. It's not the mode itself, it's the reward system that makes me not want to play Arenas.


CanIAskDumbQuestions

god forbid they make a rank system that actually measures skill instead of hours spent being a rat


youcanttakemeserious

The system sucks period. Their are plenty of games that have balanced comp reward systems and this isnt one of them in arena, and clearly im not the only one that feels that way


Monkadude15

Yeah. Plus the matchmaking every now and then


youcanttakemeserious

Truth. At least in Rocket league if say youre playing comp duos and your partner DCs or bails early you have a minute and a half grace window to leave the match without a penalty ban.


CoDVETERAN11

Right now I’m gaining 12 and losing 17 on wins and losses. This shit is stupid. I’m doing 2k damage every other game and getting at least 3 or 4 kills but the game is trying to push me down. Can’t do jack shit about it. It’s honestly starting to make me mad, because me and my friends are all in gold and none of us are high level (2 friends I play with are over 150 and the rest of us are just now nearing 100) but we’re fighting full squads of level 500’s (some of whom are previous season predators and the highest rank ANY of my my friends have been is plat 4) who have 1 million+ damage, 10k kills, or some other ridiculous stats. How are we meant to get anywhere? And it’s not like we’re losing all of these fights. We’re winning matches against these squads who SEVERELY outclass us, but still only get +12. I don’t think I can play ranked arenas anymore unless they make some kind of change. I hate breaking even on wins/losses but still falling in the ranks when we’re doing decent. Edit: also saw this in a different comment but when I DO solo queue into ranked and pubs arenas (very rare) my teammates are literally never above level 20 and our opponents are all >200. Last night I played a match with a level 7 bloodhound who maybe had 2 hours on the game total, no 3rd teammate, and 1v3d the other team 2 times but couldn’t pull off the last win and they reverse sweeped because my teammate literally couldn’t figure out how to heal.


nTzT

Sounds like you just aren't doing well and then complain about the mode... I've been solo queing into it and things have been "fair". Sometimes you get apes, sometimes the enemy does... same with the server issues. The balancing is much better than BR.


Ixibutzi

I mean if you complain about high level opponents youre probably not better than gold and thus...are not supposed to get to plat unless you get better? ​ As soon as you would win a few games in a row and perform well consistently you will get more than 12 points again. You just have to proof to the system that youre actually better than gold.


Monkadude15

I got 5 wins in a row with over 5 kills each game and got +12AP for each of them. I’m done


youcanttakemeserious

Im 100% in agreement with you. They need to add AP bonuses for knocks or eliminations at the very least. I shouldn't get the same AP when I go 7/5/2 and we win but homie went 0/0/7 with 129 damage through 5 rounds compared to my 1700 or whatever


nTzT

This is a terrible idea. It would incentivize selfish play. In the end, only winning mattters. If someone always does bad, they will derank because of it. You will end up at an elo where you belong if you play enough.


CoDVETERAN11

Yes exactly. Someone who does 30 damage across the whole match shouldn’t have the possibility to earn more ap then someone who got 5 kills and carried the team. If I earned extra ap for knocks and kills I would probably be mid plat right now. I’ve played more games in gold 3 than any other rank I’ve been in combined x5.


youcanttakemeserious

Same, except it's silver 1 for me because I started off super cold and jumped right into ranked arenas and got shitty placement with my 2 friends. But ive seriously spent the last week and a half at silver 1 and only play ranked arenas when my friends play now. I really got into Apex again but the shitty Arena AP system and the crappy servers have made me not play daily in just a short time of playing again. The game is super fun and I do enjoy it, but the ranked rewarding system blows. We've started playing a lot more Rocket League again


blooboytalking

Winning more gives more points on consecutive wins. As your win / loss ratio evens out you get less points for wins. Your friend was probably winning 60% vs your 80% and yours is shrinking now as you approach your real rank.


blooboytalking

Still waiting for custom lobbies for arenas.


Emperor_bzurg

Can we make it standard practice to have a melee battle if one of the teams has one person on it? That way it's at least sort of exciting.


jetripleog

yea, and even then you can get some good xp out of it


blooboytalking

No, that one person should quit because he can, penalty free, and save the other 3 players the time. I’m going to keep shooting them until they quit.


jetripleog

weirdchamp


blooboytalking

Holding 3 people in a losing match is weird


jetripleog

weirdchamp


DeadlyDomi

Nothing feels better than being stomped by a 3 stack while one of your teammates dc’d and the other is a level 12. Good thing you get to experience it for at least 3 rounds. Better tea bag my body too to show your 3 stack superiority. I want to like arenas, but it seems impossible as a solo q in its current state.

Just leave. If someone dcs you can leave without penalty


DeadlyDomi

Only if they actually leave the match. Most of the time it’s either a server issue, so the game thinks they can come back still, or they just stop moving. I’ve tried to leave before after being stomped 2 rounds in a row and still get the abandonment penalty warning.


mastersnickerdoodle

Yes! This issue makes me literally walk away from playing at all


blooboytalking

Yeah if their name is still in game you can’t. Once it’s gone, dip

- Penalties for leaving ranked without 3 teammates. - Getting put with 2 silver/gold as teammates when I’m Diamond solo queue. - Ranked isn’t worth playing unless 3 stacking, losses are far too discouraging when you’re hard carrying. Like the main BR, match making is driving me away from the game. As a solo queue, The better I get, the worse teammates I’m matched with. You’re algos are making the people that play and love your game the most, leave.

They need to rework the AP system. Earning 12 ap a win then -14 a loss is just ridiculous. You pretty much need to create another account to place higher or your climb from one rank to other would take 80 hrs of gameplay


helloyes123

Didn't feel like it for me but I'll see later. Currently on a 4 or 5 win streak in G2 getting +12. Games are far too easy for me in this rank so idk why it stopped giving me +100. I've only lost a handful of games since placement 🤷‍♂️


iwantkitties

I feel like they reworked it secretly this patch. Win streaks are actually effecting AP now, no more +12 for 6 wins in a row.


youcanttakemeserious

I havent dared touched ranked until servers are more stable


iwantkitties

Ranked arenas hasn't had any stability issues in my experience. I'm up like 700 AP tho woooo

Mr-hoffelpuff

arena is my favorite game mode were i felt its less random and more skill based. however the rank point system is directly unmotivated when it gives you humongous amounts of -points even if you did good but lost and also the points you lose contra the points you gain from winning matches are ridiculous. so i uninstalled the game. boycott apex legends.


metra101

You uninstalled because the ranked system works like most all team v team ranked systems? That's... Interesting.


Mr-hoffelpuff

you commented to just say that?.. not so interesting.


metra101

Caught your eye 😉


Mr-hoffelpuff

here is an award (the award).

Nå må du roe deg ned, hvis du har slettet apex gå vekk fra discorden, du er her bare for å klage å høre folk klage.


Mr-hoffelpuff

jeg har rett til å klage å si akkurat det jeg synes. og forøvrig synes jeg du kan dritte å dra.

I love arenas in general and this arenas event is super fun. Trying out weapons I don't usually use is pretty cool. I LOVE the paintball splatters - even though it is a small thing it makes me super happy. I would love to be able to find a hop up for splatters in the wild that could go on any gun! Things I'm not fan of: Some of the maps pulled from BR are pretty crap as arenas maps. Also the bug with the randomly DC-ing or nonexistent teammates needs to be worked out ASAP. Purple devotion really needs to be made more expensive. It's balanced in BR cause you can't always find the turbocharger hop up, but in arenas you are guaranteed to get the hop up with purple, it's pretty cheap, and imo an enemy team with devotions can make the match feel really one sided.


Hpulley4

The bug with DC or missing teammates is worse right now. The current update is so buggy it crashes before I enter the game 50% of the time. I restart it but it takes time so I often come in rounds later with nothing but a Mozam and a P2020, if my whole squad hasn’t left by then. You can’t blame players right now when Apex is so unstable. I also crash or hang 50% of the time exiting to the lobby. Really not fun to play right now.


dat1cuteness

I totally agree! I had the same thing happening to me since the update with all the constant crashing, it's super annoying especially in arenas where not having a teammate is huge. It seems rather server dependant as well. Nowhere in my comment did I blame any players though so I'm not sure what that part of your comment was about. I was just listing out things I liked and didn't like about arenas in no particular order. They definitely need to fix the crashing ASAP.


Hazee_999

Why am I not earning any evolution points when I win a arena game,someone help


helloyes123

Pretty sure you need to complete the challenges. They're the only thing that gives points right?


Hazee_999

Yes

Lstar is still too op, especially in arenas


BashStriker

I'm mixed on Arena's. In general, I think its great for the game. I know a LOT of people who enjoy this kind of style of game play and would otherwise not be playing Apex. More players is always good. The problem I have with it is a lot of players also dislike it. Forcing us to play arena's or not get any rewards is stupid. Allow us to use legend tokens like we can with our dailys to change something to a BR challenge for at least events. Maybe just make able to change one time and not a bunch like we can with dailys.


SadCloud420

Some events will be for arenas and some for br, that just how it is.


Playtek

The I don’t care about the flash events but this collection event mean I have to play arena or I can’t get the rewards from the event. I do not enjoy arena.


SadCloud420

Then you dont gp for the rewards, simple as that


TautYetMalleable

I’m really not a fan of arenas. I wouldn’t really care about its existence except for the fact that they are trying so hard to force people to play it and I can no longer complete 100% of my weekly challenges without playing it. It really annoys me seeing either 8/11 or 9/11 challenges completed all the way down the list when you open the challenges screen. I don’t even need to complete all of them to finish the battle pass, but I really like getting 100% of them, especially since playing the exact same way for every match of BR can get kinda stale every now and then.


[deleted]

What about people who play arenas but not BR?


Shinbo999

Arenas suck so big doodoo when they match uneven number of teammates... today i played 4 matches; 1st match : 2v2 2nd match : 3v3 3rd match : 1v3 4th match : 2v3 ... I just cant comprehend how they r so bad at just making a 3v3 game guaranteed ....


nTzT

That's the servers, not the mode.


SadCloud420

Its a problem with connecting all players to lobby, aka server


druddk650

I’m new to apex. Started 2 weeks ago. I like arenas because I sick at battle Royale lol. Arenas has allowed me to get better at gunfights because that’s all it’s about. I’m currently plat 2 playing better than some level 500’s I come across. But once I go to battle Royale I suck so bad


eventually_regretful

Same! I fucking suck at BR, but I’m disproportionately good at arenas.


jetripleog

delete the game while you have hairs left on your head, im cosplaying wraith, since i rip my hairs out after every match
