Yes, we are considering many options, and also open to community ideas, as always.

Yep, that's how the system is set up to work right now.

While we do plan on making changes to the circle speed/damage etc for Season 2 (see patch notes tomorrow for full details), there are currently no plans for there to be rules differences in Ranked versus Unranked, i.e. the circle will behave the same in Unranked versus Ranked at the start of Season 2. This is something we will be keeping under close observation and will make adjustments if necessary.

Level 10 takes a normal player around 3-4 hours to reach. Hopefully that helps gate smurfs a bit and also stops total noobs from getting in over their heads. Cheaters need to be dealt with regardless of ranked play, and we're continuing our efforts on that front regardless.

If the level 10 cap is too low, we'll look at raising it later on. Expect lots of iteration to all aspects of ranked as the season plays out!

Ah right, I guess that wasn't clear. When we say you can't drop out of Gold, we mean you can't lose the RP to drop out of Gold.

No, you can't fall out of Gold once you hit it. You can fall from Gold 3 back to Gold 4 however.

Yes.

We try to match parties of 3 against parties of 3; parties of 2+1 similarly; and finally parties of 1+1+1. We've always done this, and we're always looking at ways to delay matchmaking to separate the three. We'll especially be looking closely at Ranked, in this respect, now that it's more acceptable to have slightly longer queue times.

1. Please report hackers, regardless of whether they are in ranked or not. If you think a teammate on your team is purposefully throwing a game (as opposed to just having a bad day) you should report them too. 2. Apex Predator badges will show their current RP on the badge itself, so even when you reach it you can still see your rank score increase in comparison to others. We are aware however of the very real problem of having "nothing to strive for" once you reach Apex, and we have plans in place to address that, hopefully at the very latest by next Season. 3. Allowing people to drop between divisions but not between tiers is done for various reasons, e.g. to allow some kind of "safe spot" for a while once you hit a major milestone in a tier promotion, as well as to simplify making sure that your current rank (with regards to tiers) is also your highest reach. We will be planning on doing some sort of soft reset between Ranked periods, so you will be asked to prove that you ca...

Yes, you can still play unranked games, just like you do now.

No, anyone who earns enough RP to be in Apex Predator will be allowed into the rank. However, we expect the overall number to be fairly low. I know I won't be in it lol

Yes

It's different than last season and allows for a bonus to solo players, and a larger bonus if playing with friends. Full details tomorrow!

e see that the reward for predator is a Dive trail! Adding more than just emotes in the sky!!

No, they are 2 separate things.

Your team gains placement points based on where your team ended up. You gain individual points for the kills you got.

Oops! You got us! :)

When the patch goes live tomorrow!

Hey everyone! We’re some of the Apex team responsible for Ranked mode (Tangentiallogic, pinedsman, and SpamminBandies), and we’re here to talk about the new Ranked Leagues feature in Apex Legends. Let’s dive into our philosophy, goals, and the nuts and bolts of how Ranked Leagues will work when they launch with Season 2 on July 2.

We believe that Apex is a dynamic game that takes time and effort to master. Ranked Leagues should be the place where competitive players (or players who feel competitive now and then) can go to prove their skills and gain recognition for their efforts.
