Respawn sides with Apex Legends players on ratting: ‘We want all players to run the race’
The community’s negativity around Apex Legends’ ranked experience in season 17 has been near universal.
The sweeping set of changes the season launched with failed to deliver the improvements that it aimed to, instead allowing more players than ever to achieve the rank of Master and Predator in a damning case of rank inflation. This was in part thanks to the prominence of ratting, a playstyle made more effective with LP gains now favored toward high placement over kills.
