The ranking system in Apex Legends is interesting, as some players can reach the second-highest tier, Masters, within weeks. It has been possible for players like NICKMERCS and CouRageJD, who are obviously not the top players in the game, to rise quickly. Mac 'Albralelie' Beckwith pointed out that this is evidence that the ranking system is broken, as everyone has been saying.
CouRageJD became an Apex Predator using the Duos system and a top-ranked friend. NICKMERCS and CouRageJD should be able to hit Diamond on their own easily, according to Albralelie. He argues that they can go even further into the highest tiers this way shows the game's flaws.

In response to a question about Nickmercs and Cloakzy, Albralelie responded thoughtfully. The pro did not claim that NICKMERCS, Cloakzy, or even CourageJD deliberately broke the system. He claims that they possess the skills required to reach Diamond.

"@Albralelie you think it's kinda sad that players who have been playing for only 2 weeks can get into masters (NICKMERCS and Cloakzy)"
Albralelie's response:
He went further to say that this is just evidence of a broken system.
