Apex Legends Season 31 Ranked: Legend Bans, Goliath Matches and How to Find a Trio
Apex Legends Season 31 (Cipher) began on 3 November 2026. Ranked now has Legend Banning in any match with Diamond+ players, where each player requests one ban and two Legends are drawn at random weighted by votes. Squads two or more tiers below the lobby's median tier play a Challenger match with a 30% lower entry cost, and squads two or more tiers above play a Goliath match with a 50% higher one. In a premade, every player counts at the highest teammate's RP, so a trio of similar ranks is now worth more than ever. On PaxJax you can filter Apex players by rank, region and platform and save a standing trio.
