According to player analytics sites like ApexLegendsStatus (opens in new tab) and Tracker.gg (opens in new tab), Diamond and Platinum are practically barren right now, with maybe only a dozen managing to make it to Apex Predator. With a new staggered entry fee system and higher fees across the board, the ranked climb has slowed to a crawl. The start-of-season reset is usually chaotic, but even more so now, with players who used to be the best of the best fighting desperately through the lower ranks.


Players who were previously Platinum are now in Bronze, Masters in Silver, and so forth. In addition to kill point changes, an unspoken change saw everyone moved down two and a half ranks this season, instead of the usual ranked and a half.
