Later, Apex Legends experience design director Aaron Rutledge elaborated on the studio’s anti-cheat efforts.
Rutledge added that developers had decided to “decouple MMR and LP.”
The developer also warned that ban-waves are incoming.
“The team is continuing to work on refining bot-detection and reducing the time it takes to ban.”
“We also have some new detection methods that we’re rolling out.
Rutledge also brought attention to an important distinction regarding a frustrating issue players have experienced in Season 16.
“That being said, we’ve already launched actual DDoS-protection, and that is working as intended.”
