@MyDecoyy As someone who’s reached the highest rank by myself and now just vibes with friends, if you can’t hit pred previously, you are just terrible at the game and this won’t change that. If you can’t at least wipe a 3 stack masters team, why are you even wanting the change?

“let me play with my homies” is code for “i need my boost” & thats the hard pill that some of the community isn’t willing to swallow. if EVERYONE is solo, what is the problem? its an even playing field🫩

@ApexLiveComms This is terrible…

📋TESTING: From June 9th to June 23rd we will be conducting the following test in Ranked: Ranked will be solo queue only for all players Diamond and above. If you are Diamond or higher, you will not be able to squad up as a premade in Ranked. Our hypotheses are that this will create more evenly matched high-skill lobbies, reduce hard-carries into Diamond, Master and Predator and build trust in the overall fairness of these matches. While this is a commonly requested feature by portions of our community, we will be closely monitoring community sentiment and match data. Note: The in-game notification that some encountered yesterday (May 19th) was a visual error, and players are currently still able to squad up without restrictions.

@randomacc7897 @HYPERMYSTx Or if you die to a pred/masters as a lower rank, have less rp loss and vice versa. When I kill a pred as a P1/D4 I should get a HUGE rp boost. That person more than likely have thousands more rp than me and I beat him. Reward me and punish them.

@randomacc7897 @HYPERMYSTx I agree with that as well, the best solution to everyone’s problem is to just make sure that anyone D2+ battles only similar ranks. They need to bracket the ranked system. A pred should never see a plat or even low diamond.

The solo-queue message appears briefly, then disappears after restarting the game or rebuilding the squad Suggesting the Devs still haven’t decided whether to release it.

@KinKodoku @HYPERMYSTx I agree that the 3 stacks of preds/masters is a huge problem in plat/diamond, I just don’t think that low diamond should be forced to solo queue. I play with my wife just enough to get us both diamond and then I’m done. I don’t a problem with that is. D2+ should be the cutoff.

@Phillyburn695 @HYPERMYSTx time will tell what difference this will make, at least the game will be fair, no more 3 stackers in high rank is healthy for the game do you know the percentage of masters/preds that are 3 stacking to get to that rank?

@KinKodoku @HYPERMYSTx As someone who’s been pred, there is a HUGE drop off between casual diamonds like myself and D2/1s that are aggressively pushing to masters. The fact is that if you couldn’t hit masters, you still can’t. I know a lot of people will throw once they hit D4 just to play with friends

@Phillyburn695 @HYPERMYSTx i think masters and above is the same as diamond and above, i don't think it makes that big of a difference in balancing the teams in the lobby server side it will be easier and way faster to make lobbies where diamond and above are solo q, fast q + balanced lobby = a win win

@KinKodoku @HYPERMYSTx This should be for only masters and above. If you think differently you take this game too seriously. Solo queuing to masters is very easy.

@HYPERMYSTx look at all the people that are used to getting carried by their friends raging in the chat box, if you can't solo ranked you don't deserve your rank solo ranked will make balancing lobbies way easier

@Demonwraiths @iTempp @PlayApex Yeah, I play mainly after school or work as well. I typically just get my fiancee and I to diamond and then we compete with her battle pass. I have never tried pushing out of Diamond. I’m thinking of going for it next season though if I get more time with grad school.

@Phillyburn695 @iTempp @PlayApex Ye I agree with that plats shouldn’t fight preds just atm the state of the game the player base is so low that they can’t have players to make a diamond master pred lobby. I usually play when I get back from school or work so yea it too me a little longer to move up

@Demonwraiths @iTempp @PlayApex Most don’t care for the Masters/Pred rank, they play to have fun. I agree that if you are a D2/D1 then you should play against them, but when I was plat 1 and my fiancee was Plat 3 explain why we should play against the number 8, 49, and 148 in our lobbies?

@iTempp @PlayApex As mad as people are at the rank system if they made it only master pred ques, ques would take for ever the way I see if ur diamond and can’t compete against masters/preds you don’t deserve the rank it’s simple

@Demonwraiths @iTempp @PlayApex So you’re an ex top 20 player and it took you 2 days to climb D4-D2? Ima current D2 and it took me 5 days to get from gold 4 to D2

@iTempp @PlayApex Also I’m recording on my alt to show it’s rough quing against preds but I legit solo q from d4 to d2 in 2 days for majority of these diamond players that want a rank adjustment is coping and I was ex top 20 last season

@PlayApex @Respawn why after I lose 600 rp in one night do I only face preds as a Diamond 3?

@Exodus_txt If only you were #444

Ok thats satisfying.

@YaaBoiiFusion @PlayApex Hell ye

Lesgooo finally got to diamond !! Been playing since s3 😀 #ApexLegends @PlayApex

@ScratchedVui To be fair, you guys were alive 12-13 minutes and did less than 500 damage

@zerbow_ @PlayApex Farming Diamonds, Plats, and Golds. Honestly too much skill. People who have 1/4 of your days played and probably play around 2 hours a day.

Been playing a lot of Ash the past couple weeks, most fun I've had since old Horizon meta @PlayApex
