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

@WHITEyy6969 I've come around to the idea of a kill-cap within the context of the rest of their system : because if you didn't have a kill-cap, 1 good game out of a Skulltown hotdrop could earn you enough RP that you then don't NEED to worry about hotdropping skulltown and being instakilled for another 4 or 5 times. I think the cap was brought in specifically to avoid this culture carrying over from non-ranked. Personally I prefer games where people are more evenly spread throughout the map. Fights happen in more interesting places because of it, not at the same locations between X and the winners of Skullfest 2019. Even though I hate the new cascades area - it's the same story with that. Making Cascades less popular has helped make the player spread on the map a little more diffuse.

I'm absolutely in favour of rewarding placement - but I don't think placement PURELY for hiding deserves a big reward because it's just too easy to do and if you don't encourage fighting enough : a lot of players basically never want to be the one to engage first in ANY situation because of the fear of being ambushed. There's a reward for placement in my suggested system - but if you're consistently hiding to get placement and not winning any fights : the reward is that you'll stay where you are, not that you'll climb higher in the rankings : because you didn't actually BEAT anyone.

@mastiffslinger I get you man, and I didn't mean that playing sneakily was totally invalid. Like the title said : it was just about rewarding hiding LESS. At the minute the reward is stacked disproportionately to favour hiding, and whilst a minority of people hiding for placement has and always will happen in a last man standing situation - if you make it THE go-to strategy for the majority, the game grinds to a standstill for most of the time with a clusterF at the end in which individual skill often can't influence the result.

To be honest - I love your idea about removing the squadcounter, but I'd also remove the killfeed : or at least FORCE everyone to see a streamermode version of it.

It might be because I'm in a lower population region : but we all know who everyone is. Where they like to drop, how they play in a lot of situations, which characters they main. If someone wants to make it their mission to take you out of the game, even if it costs them their game - they can easily do it with the current kill feed. I've got friends who target me specifically just for the laugh -but I also know who I have to most concentrate on if there's a 4 way fight because I notice a lifeline using a specific skin and I've seen his name in the killfeed : I know that's who I don't want to fight in a small ring at the end (Hey Keen!).
