What can be expected from Apex Legends Season 18?
Ranked changes
Season 18 promises to make some much-needed changes to the problematic Rank system. Having been launched in Season 17, the whole inclusion was filled with a lot of loopholes that players abused. The developers at Respawn have acknowledged the faulty Ranked system and have addressed its flaws, assuring fans that effective changes will be implemented in Season 18.
Furthermore, the Ring's specifications have also been changed. With Season 18's release, it will have a wider radius in the first two rounds, ensuring players actively engage in surviving and fighting rather than ratting outside the zone. The increase in damage tick will see that games are more action-packed and intense. This may result in some substantial changes to the meta that has been dominating Apex Legends.
The previous iteration of this title's Rank system was extremely generous at providing LP (Ladder Points) to players in their matches. Paired with a low entry cost, Season 17 saw an over-inflated crowd of players at Masters Rank, the second-highest rank within this game.
The developers have assured fans that necessary adjustments are made to fix the LP awarding system in Season 18.
Mixtape joins Broken Moon
The newly introduced LTM playlist, Mixtape, will also feature Broken Moon across all the game modes. Players will be able to queue for Gun Run and Team Deathmatch in The Core or even queue to play Control in Production Yard in Broken Moon.
