As explained in our article here, the entry cost will be static and scoring for placement will be consistent in every division. To compensate, bonuses will be applied to scores based on kills, assists, the caliber of opponents, and more. The FURIA star doesn\u2019t like the sound of it, though. He believes it could be a good idea for those in Bronze to Diamond, but is bad news for skilled players who will quickly break through that plateau. \u201cIf that\u2019s the case, that\u2019s a huge step back,\u201d Wattson stated about the change in terms of how it could affect those ranked Master and above. \u201cWhy are we getting rid of that scaling entry cost? Why are we going back so many steps?\u201d HisWattson wasn\u2019t all doom and gloom about the patch. He liked \u201c90 percent of what he saw\u201d in the patch notes, which included things like the new legend Ballistic, the addition of Weapon Mastery, a new survival item, and more. He even said he\u2019s excited to see how the new ranked system will play out, but the removal of scaling entry costs was one of the things he definitely \u201chard disagreed\u201d with. It\u2019s not the only ranked change coming in the next Apex patch either. Other upcoming features include a new skill rating like MMR to help the matchmaker build lobbies based on skill rather than ladder placement, tweaking LP to make it harder for teams to farm points with beacons, new methods to detect cheaters, and more. As HisWattson said, it will be interesting to see how these changes take shape once they\u2019re implemented, including the removal of scaling entry costs. So, he\u2019s reserving judgment until that happens. The Apex patch is slated to release next week, on Tuesday, May 9.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/apex-legends-hiswattson.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/857949"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2123"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=857949"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/857949\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":857971,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/857949\/revisions\/857971"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/857956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=857949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=857949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=857949"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=857949"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=857949"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=857949"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=857949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
