Apex Legends Season 21 recently replaced the competitive playlist with Ranked Rumble and a new bug that puts players in Rookie rank has surfaced. This latest glitch has plagued a huge percentage of the playerbase and caused a lot of matchmaking disparity issues among squads. However, the developers did not address this problem through any official channel.
The Ranked Rumble mode completely replaced the regular ranked season and froze all Ranked Points (RP) gain and loss. This means that the playerbase cannot put in a last grind to push ranks before the new Season 22 update goes live for Apex Legends.
This article will highlight the rank placement bug in Apex Legends Ranked Rumble.

Ranked Rumble bug puts Apex Legends players in Rookie
The Ranked Rumble mode requires players to play 10 placement matches before the game assigns a profile rank. This ranking system is completely separate from the one that is obtained by playing the normal ranked matches throughout the season. However, the placement process seems to have a glitch that keeps putting players in the Rookie rank even after playing 10 matches.

This means that the Rookie rank that is shown on the screen when players check their standing in the mode is likely a bug. The only workaround is to play a few games in the Rumble mode and let the game correct the rank badge on its own. But if this does not fix the glitch, it is best to reach out to the official EA Support Team - players can raise a ticket to get the necessary assistance from the support team.
