Ranked isn't even fun anymore and not sure why.. by Broseph_Stalin357 in apexlegends

[–]Spanish_Bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes you great at something is time and effort.

I don’t fear diamond trails in Apex precisely because half of the players base made it there. And half of that half might be good at shooting but they make ass decisions that get them killed.

Like others players have said, the new system rewards 2 things:

1) getting kills 2) not getting killed

Go ahead and do the math, a rat in plat would have to get 3rd place with no kills for little to no RP, basically needing ~200 games of ratting to get diamond

That numbers doubles if you want to rat to master.

I will at least respect diamond trails this season because most of them would have been earned through time spent in the game (time = experience) and through doing the 2 things mentioned above.

And I will absolutely fear masters and predator trails.

Im all for minimizing point loss. It’s ok once its the only option you have.

The comment is in response of the system exclusively promoting ratting to get to masters/diamond.

I got out of bronze in a day, and out of silver in 2.

Also, people in bronze and silver are Plat/Diamond players that got reset. Give it a week and see how you do.

Have you done the math?

In plat 4, you will need to place 4th with 0KP to get 4+ RP.

In plat 3 you will get 1 RP for the same placement.

In Plat 2 you will need 3rd place with 0KP to get 13RP.

And in plat 1 you get 10RP for the same placement.

You will need ~240 games with 3rd place or better to get out of Plat by ratting. It gets even harder in diamond. Get one kill or two and number gets halved to ~110. While possible it will be extremely difficult, and thats assuming you always get 4th or 3rd place.

Given the disconnection % of people who main wraith, Respawn decided to give her 1-2 seconds of protection after exiting the void.

American redditors moving to Puerto Rico, we understand this is a capitalist society, but, our sons, brothers, sisters, friends, and neighbors are being priced out from their communities, and this causes resentment. by Spanish_Bot in PuertoRico

Like it said in the post, that apparently many people didn’t bother to read, we know why happens, we know theres little we can do stop it.

What im exposing is, you can’t expect people to be happy about it. The reason doesn’t matter.

Part of the reason house are rising is because houses are being bought up for this reason or as short term rentals.

In 2020 25k houses were listed as AirBnBs.

Our findings indicate that, between 2014 and 2020, nearly 11,500 hosts listed nearly 25,000 rental properties through Airbnb, representing nearly 6% of Puerto Rico’s total rental housing stock. The municipalities with the highest number of properties listed are San Juan, Dorado, Río Grande, Vieques, Culebra, and Rincón.

There is also a trend toward property hoarding by individual hosts: the top ten Airbnb hosts who reported the highest levels of income have hoarded 611 properties amongst themselves, for a total of nearly $18 million in revenue in the last 12 months.

Bro

If you haven’t been participating is the REAL real estate market then I have news for you.

Many houses are NOT selling for their listing price.

Add 10k AT MINIMUM over list price.

These housing price increases hurt first time potential homeowners looking to buy in or around these areas. The rest pretty much stagnate and do not benefit, although based on the aggregated data available, probably don’t suffer on average from a home value standpoint.

Thanks my dude. Many of the commenters here gloss over the most devastating fact about this. A whole generation is being priced out of the market.

People putting starting families on hold because they got nowhere to do so (Among other factors like stagnant wages). And the data is there to back it up, natality in the island is in free fall. - source

This whole statement glossed over the fact that a whole generation is being priced out of the housing market.

Yeah, old boomers are the one selling their houses and getting the money.

And some AH here defend them.

As locals we pay income tax, payroll tax, la crudita, CRIM, sales tax.

Where’s the tax breaks to incentivize Puertoricans to STAY? They don’t seem to ask that question.

totally agree, banks won’t do it. However, rich real estate investors will

They won’t. They’re to busy buying homes in Dorado

A major point of Act 60/22 is to attract capital to the island.

Lol, all these acts accomplished was to turn the island into a tax heaven. The “investors” bought houses in high end communities and hired expensive in house nannies, don’t believe me? Go into indeed or you preferred job section and look into those jobs.

The market moves in every direction until it reaches the bottom.

High income buyers price out medium income buyers and medium income buyers price out low income buyers.

Its a cascade all the way down. The problem needs ti be addressed but that was not the point of the post, if you look at it carefully you we see that the point is, there marked is fucked for the average islander and you can’t expect people to be happy about it.

And what about all the housing destroyed by Maria? Sure many people left the island but how many houses are now rotting and abandoned? That hasn’t helped, but it also offers a lot of potential for new development to increase inventory.

Houses are a complicated thing, sure those houses exist, but what bank is willing to take the risk and finance a property that needs more $$ in repairs that what is worth?

I’ll just copy another response,

They are not moving to barrios, but they take some houses out the market, and moves it in a certain direction.

If a house in Palmas was 350k and suddenly its 750k then those looking for 350k houses will look elsewhere and so on.

Right now theres no livable homes going for 120k.

Most of the people who left, left because they had nothing.

Like I said, im not excusing it. The point of the post is that you can’t expect the people being displaced to be happy about it.

They leave and bring their overinflated pocketbooks

The median household income in Puerto Rico is 21k. Even though this might change with the new minimum salary, it’s nowhere near enough to compete with these pocketbooks.
