Apex Legends players have been clamoring for changes to Season 13’s Ranked Play, and according to a new leak, those changes are on the way.
With the Apex Legends Season 13 update, Respawn Entertainment made controversial changes to Ranked, but a leak reveals that entry RP costs are being adjusted after the Awakening Collection Event.
One of Apex Legends’ most popular modes, Ranked, allows players to see how they improve as they progress through the ranks. While the new Legend Newcastle in Season 13 was praised, the Ranked Reloaded update was not well received.
Players believe the Ranked distribution is completely off this season, with Gold and Platinum players competing against Masters and even Predators, and many attribute this to the higher entry fees.
However, a new leak claims that Respawn is lowering entry costs across the board, indicating that change is on the way. While pro player Albralelie claims that the Ranked changes in Apex Legends Season 13 will make you a better player, many players, including top streamer NICKMERCS, have called for change.
Respawn Entertainment will reduce Ranked entry costs by 10 RP across the board, according to popular dataminer AG420. In this breakdown from YouTuber Grrt, you can see how the entry fees compare.
This, hopefully, will allow more high-skilled players to rise through the ranks, resulting in a more competitive player distribution. It remains to be seen whether this will solve the problem of Gold players being paired with Predators.
According to leaks, the change will be implemented following the Awakening Collection Event on Tuesday, June 21. It’s unclear when this change will take effect, but June 21 appears to be the earliest date.
Despite the fact that it came from a reliable leaker, keep in mind that this is just a leak for the time being, and there’s no guarantee that Respawn Entertainment will adjust the entry fees. We’ll just have to wait and see what Season 14 has in store for us.
