@nebwise 

Again thanks for your comments.

If you look you can see from previous posts I have written that I am a big supporter of team play. 

The recent changes to the ranked RP system I think have been overall good. it allows lower skilled players the possibility to gain more RP however it has also had a negative impact as well in so far as encouraging hot drop and the me me me way of thinking which of course not cohesive with team play as you mentioned.

Team RP would be great if it was added in some shape way or form.

I would also advocate the possibility to being able to gain some sort of RP for reviving  downed teammates along with re-spawning boxed teammates. This would need to be capped so as to limit and or avoid abuse. I think this would go a long way into incentivizing team play. We all know that not every player is the good gunman.  How many times has a good revive/respawn lead the team to victory or higher placement. Supporting the team other than performing kills and assists needs to be rewarded more and it would provide more of a reason to help out that other player and reduce the me me me mentality.

What do you think about this?

@Asmodeus566 Yeah, I like it. I've thought a lot about RP for revives and respawns, but have the same concerns about abuse potential. On the flip side, this would be huge for Lifeline and Crypto players who sacrifice kills to play well.

    Thanks for your reply. 

    Adding RP for revives and respawns would def help out Crypto and LL more than some other Legends although it would also be useful for Gibby within his dome, Valk could Ult to get to a beacon, Fast movers Path and Octane could also get to beacons pretty quick and Bangs smoke would provide some cover in both situations.

    I pretty much believe it would help out all Legends, players and teams giving them a motivation to play as a team more. I agree that the two biggest benefactors of this would be Cyrpto and LL.

      @Asmodeus566 Definitely, but how do you balance it? Players can knock and box themselves on most maps (accidentally or on purpose). You'd have to distinguish how the player took damage, or revive/respawn RP would essentially be free and have no impact on rank distribution.
