Teams that made Pro League Finals in NA A = 6 B = 5 C = 9 Group C was stacked

Apex Legends Ranked has 2 major problems right now in Diamond+ 1) KP is still worth way too much RP/Value in Ranked -Killing the entire lobby is a forced TDM meta -Respawn ignores that there is also value of killing players like loot, space control, and armor upgrades. -When players land at a POI their first plan is to find a team to run at to kill or 3rd party (the ring / zone is irrelevant because playing for a win rewards nothing in comparison) 2) Lobbies are incredibly hard to balance due to 60 player games -the skill difference between players in the upper ranks is so vast that 3 stacks of Pros/Preds will drastically out farm the entire lobby especially in a forced TDM (end the game quick kill meta) -if players are forced to play for wins/end games then more teams will be alive making it much harder for “stronger” teams to cleanse the lobby early Forcing Solo Q only in Diamond+ Ranked will 100% help the balancing issue but I think this will have an overall negative affect on the game because it removes the ability of playing with friends/organized teams. The meta will remain the same and lobbies will die out just as fast. Nobody has incentive to rotate / play smart / play for wins. The toxicity/unfun aspect of being forced to play with random teammates is also going to become a normality. Solo/Duo for Masters+ is probably the best middle ground solution along with the introduction of a Dynamic KP Cap system of lobbies to reward WINNING games Also we have been asking for Solo or a no-group PUBS mode for years.. where is that? _______________ Image 1 - shows the rough “macro” of how competitive RANKED games should be played because teams need to rotate to play for positions -naturally you mostly have teams playing for position in the zone that might still take some smart opportunistic fights -controller legends will actually become viable -some “edge teams” will still fight for upgrades and space control -your comp should be picked based on the POI you start at just like real comp -obviously some teams will ignore this but not ALL teams Image 2 - shows the current “kill meta macro” as if the ring doesn’t matter at all which leads to “10 teams alive ring 1” scenarios constantly
