Alternative RP System - Reward kills and wins, reward hiding less.

This would certainly make the game much more competitive...people wouldnt progress beyond where they should be skillwise so i like it.

@AnlbrdNot gonna say I agree with anything of the point system . But I do absolutely agree with removing the current placement points system. Playing in Diamond is just sad. People are literally hiding to the top.

Season 3 ranked has to be placed on damage/kills, because it is a team game, not a solo game. It's also a fast game, not a slow game.

I agree that the RP system needs to change but in my opinion you can't get rid of some kind of RP reward for placement. Like others have said it's a battle royale game but more importantly you have to stop the hotdrop get 4 kills and die, rinse and repeat kinda games. Now although it makes for a slower game rewarding RP for placement counters this. 

I'm sure some will disagree and that if someone wants to engage opponents more often they should be given the opportunity but there should be a significant risk in doing so early on, hence the reward for placement. What I do agree with though is after/if you get 5 kills there is then no incentive to engage opponents and this is when players may 'hide'.

IMO I don't see why, especially in higher ranked leagues, a kill cap is needed. Good players will know when and when not to engage and kills are harder to come by anyway. 

Somewhat related and on topic why not remove the squads left counter from the HUD? Then instead include (or increase) legend vocals that identify how many squads are left at certain levels like 10, 5 and final 2. It would then make the killfeed a vital source of info and players would have to be more aware rather than simply glancing top right. You could argue it would make it (hiding) worse than it already is but personally I think without players knowing their current placement and only X squads away from X place it would reduce it somewhat. Of course this is still on top of an a redesign of the RP system. 

This is not meant to be directed at anyone in general but more of an observance. I have seen multiple threads saying it is a "battle royale" game not a hide royale game for placement.

I am going to throw out the "F" word here, Fortnite. One of the items from early on in game development for arguably the most popular BR game was a bush. I am not saying I am a fan of camping in BR's, but it is part of the game. The end goal is to achieve victory or get as close as you can and for some that means camping for others it means looting everywhere and looking for the enemies as fast as possible. 

Ok got that out of the way, the RP system definitely caters to campers. I am still in gold because I play solely random games and only play ranked a bit each day. I have no interest in ranking up. My preference, but I do see a lot of low level low kills players at gold 2 and 1 and while playing with them they hide on edge of storm and slowly work their way in. It sucks, but it is the hand I am dealt. 

I would actually like to see an RP system based on damage done  versus kills, If hobbled wit h2 bad teammates I might down 2 out of 3 on a squad and never get my kills but leave the match with 400 damage for that one fight. Just my opinion. 

As far as ranked evolving and being able to match players in the same rank that would be nice, but the amount of variances between play styles alone makes this a huge task. I would much prefer definitive ranked games based on last games performance. You drop 10 kills and 2000+ damage, next game you are playing with and against people who also racked those numbers or close to it.

You want to hot drop skull town every time? Go ahead for every good game you are going to have the next game where people are racking kills like you did. A little more balance in my opinion. 

Overall I think they are doing what they can, but the process is slow and I don't really have the patience. I do my dailies if I feel up to it now and am slowly shifting away and moving on to other games, because this one is just becoming a grind.
