Its good for people who want to play the game like the pros, because it rewards good positioning over everything else. However for solos and casuals, it does not reward aggression or early game outplays. On top of that, they chose storm point as a map for this, which is the largest map with too few good POIs. It has potential to be good, but rewarding ONLY late game play is not the move Respawn.
I finished gold 3 last season. This season I got put back into bronze 4 but to my surprise, the matchmaking was completely unbalanced. I saw a consistent ammount of people with diamond badges in my lobbies. The reason for that is that diamonds were put by default in gold this season, and since gold and bronzes can queue together, you understand how bad that becomes.
I think there is a lack of communication between the devs and the actual playerbase. Most players don't want to play Apex like the pros, they simply want an action packed experience where losing in not as punishing as it is in other games with ranked modes.
If it was 5KP at 14+ and 8KP at 11-13 it would be a completely different story.
Then high aggression at the start would still be risky, but viable in lower ranks.
And at higher ranks 5KP is too little to bet on. Getting 3 squad wipes then only rewards 45RP, enough up to gold 2. Allowing aggressive plays to be risky but potentially rewarding.
