How the New Changes Will Affect Apex Legends' Gameplay

Apex has a long history of issues with cheaters in the game. Despite their efforts, Respawn couldn't pinpoint the root of the issue. This new update, however, marks a step towards improvement. Introducing a 3-rank tier difference between players will balance opponents and contribute to a fairer and more enjoyable experience.

Another change players eagerly anticipated was the correct display of Ranked badges. Following issues arising from the latest April Fools update, players reported losing their account progress and previous rewards. Although Respawn is now restoring the correct Ranked Badges to everyone affected, some players still do not see their rightful rank. Hopefully, this issue will be resolved as time goes on.
