The player base is steadily growing from decent updates and queue times hasn't looked better in years. I know the Apex community wanted Duos on ranked for years, myself and a lot of people I know included.
You don't want the third to throw the game when you are queued with your friend? Great, now you and your friend can throw instead. Perfect solution.
Hey,we added a thing called zone drops,now at zone 3 there are 15 squads,everyone is complaining. Lets remove this feature ONLY below diamond so that diamond+ can keep suffering from the feature. What is the point?
Zone is closing,you have to fight a squad infront of you,you get thirded,and the guys who thirded you gets thirded,and they get thirded again. Because there are still 15 squads on the map and everyone is moving from the same position.
