The ranked experience in Apex Legends is no stranger to grand and sweeping adjustments, with Respawn Entertainment ever diligent in its attempts to improve the foundation it’s built upon. Even so, the overhaul coming to ranked in season 20 on Feb. 13 might be the biggest yet.
Next season, Apex’s ranked mode is returning to the Ranked Points (RP) system. With this system reinstituted, they plan to make changes to both scoring and matchmaking parameters—the hope being players will have a greater trust that their time is well spent. As lead progression designer Chris “C4” Cleroux described it in a recent press event, they want players to have “confidence that the system works in the way that we say it does.”
