Respawn details big Apex ranked distribution shift, promises more changes in season 19

Most Apex Legends players realized that ranked in season 17 was a bit of a joke. Respawn also recognized that fact, and it shared information today about how this season’s updates helped fix that—and how season 19 will feature even more ranked changes.

Ranked in season 17 was historic for all the wrong reasons. In a Reddit post, the dev team revealed the official ranked distribution from both Arsenal and the current season 18, Resurrection, revealing that in its official numbers of players that logged more than five hours of ranked in season 17, nearly 20 percent of that player base reached Master. This was due to ranked changes that enable players to quickly and effectively rank up simply by hiding and securing decent placements every game, eliminating the rank disparity that gun skill and fighting normally create.
