Respawn Entertainment is making some changes to Apex Legends’ ranked matchmaking systems in Season 8. Some of the changes are geared towards the higher levels of play including the Diamond rank and above while others will affect players no matter what rung of the ranked ladder they find themselves on. The changes will take effect starting on February 2nd whenever Apex Legends kicks off Season 8 with the ranked adjustments, a new Legend named Fuse, and more.
With a new Season comes all-new Ranked rewards! Check the blog below for a look at all the changes coming when Season 8 launches Feb 2.

RP rewards begin at placement 13 instead of 10 in a match.
Earn RP for more of your kills and assists in a given match.
This is a slight nudge to give really good players a slightly faster trip back to their competitive rank, while giving our top tier players more ways to pull ahead of the pack in the Predator ranks.
Earn assists for up to 10 seconds (up from 7.5 seconds) after dealing damage to a target that is killed by someone else.
Allowing more players to enter predator should improve queue times while remaining an exclusive tier for the highest levels of play.
Players below Diamond will matchmake much more often within their own Ranks.
