Apex Legends Season 17 Arsenal Arrives With Revamped Ranked Update

The ranked mode is getting a complete overhaul with the upcoming season through a new matchmaking system, scoring system, ranked split removal and much more. Here’s everything new coming with Arsenal’s Ranked Update.

There’s a new matchmaking system on the way called hidden Matchmaking Rating (MMR) by Respawn Entertainment. It will look to team up players based on skill adjustments to account for ‘competitive advantages gained’.

This new system will track your placement in battle royale matches and also your performance in eliminating other teams. This will influence the matchmaking of your battle royale games.

A new scoring system for ranked is coming and it will replace the current Ranked Point (RP) system. The new Ladder Points (LP) system will reward teams with better placements in the battle royale.

There’s also a dynamic bonus system that will revolve around placement objectives during the match.

There will be 3 major types of bonuses available in ranked matches:

• Elimination Bonuses which you’ll get for eliminating other teams. It also includes assists.
• Rating Bonuses are awarded when your MMR ‘out performs your Ladder Points’
• Skill Bonuses are given when your team ‘interacts’ with a stronger opponent or does great in an ‘unfavorable match’.

Ranked changes are coming with Apex Legends: Arsenal, with updates to matchmaking, scoring, and the Season structure.
