The update on August 13 included fixes for issues like Ballistic’s abilities causing crashes, players losing mouse input, and the “Training” button malfunctioning for new players. However, the issue of Ranked mode was not addressed. This has since been fixed now as Respawn quickly added another update.

This Feels Like a Continous Loop With Respawn and Apex Legends

Respawn temporarily disabled Ranked mode for those affected by the glitch. However, this move wasn’t well received by the community. Players who were already frustrated by the rank reset were unable to play the mode at all.

And despite Ranked being reinstated, there are still reports of some who can’t play the mode even after the update. This issue has also brought upthe age-old topic of the quality of Respawn’s communicationand their handling of the situation.

While the developer has acknowledged the problem and promised a fix, many players feel that their responses have been too slow and lack the transparency needed to reassure the community.

With Ranked being such a core part of theApex Legendsexperience, especially for competitive players, its absence left a big void in the game. Much of the game’s player base now is probably the veterans and long-time ranked grinders so the situation was especially troublesome.
