Crypto apex legends series#

New in Series 2, Apex Predator ranked players will no longer just have their RP shown - but will now see their standing worldwide. The new combined kill & assist score is still capped at 5 per match, but with a placement multiplier.

Previously damage dealt 0.75 seconds before a player is knocked down or before a knocked player was eliminated counted as an assist, so it was technically possible that you could earn 2 assists on one target. A player cannot get a kill and an assist on a single opponent.

Assist credit is only given to teammates of a player who earns the kill. If a player is revived, the assist credit is cleared. Assists are defined as dealing damage to a player within 5 seconds before they are knocked down. This time we’re also adding assists to the kill count score. We’re also updating the match entry RP costs slightly. At first glance this may just look like point inflation, but in reality we need to be able to reward something in between 1 RP and 2 RP, so going to 10, 15, 20 RP gives us that flexibility. First off, we need a bit more granularity in the point spread, so we’re 10x’ing all the points in the whole system. Here’s what we’re trying to accomplish, and how the new system works. The Series 1 scoring system worked well, but we want to make some improvements.

This means that players will need less time to climb to their true skill ranking, and will have more time to compete at their actual skill level and try to climb higher than before. Players in Platinum IV will be reset to Silver II, and Apex Predators will be reset to Platinum II. That means if you ended Series 1 in Gold II, you’ll be reset to Silver IV. The reset will be 1.5 Tiers down for all players. At the start of Series 2 everyone will be soft reset on their ranked position, and the scoring system will be updated.
