Knockdowns and damage give RP in ranked

@Ironflower196 There's a few things to consider if you're wanting to get them to change or improve the current system that aren't a priority to you or me (the users) and/or would go against the improvements we feel should be added.

Player engagement - With the introduction of rank splits keeping players to carry on grinding or to return for the second half of the season. Anything that effects this negatively would be turned away. One of my issues is predator being determined by time played now as some of us have full time jobs and family that can't play x amounts of hours everyday. Skill should be the determining factor in the highest brackets of ranked, not time played where kids, unemployed or those that play games for a living (streamers) have a much higher chance of maintaining pred.

Increasing the amount of kills for RP - Not only would this bring you to your respective rank faster but also potentially being detrimental to what i mention above as you would have no need to keep playing once you plateau. It would also increase the speed of matches with kills being a priority over placement also being a negative multiplier for player engagement. This would lead to more inconsistency between matches where fights are increased early on (fighting less equipped teams for easier RP early game) but leaving 5 teams after the first ring leading to dull moments throughout the rest of the matches when they want the action evenly spread out.

The very late changes we saw for this seasons ranked also reflect this.

Servers and connection - With the only choice we currently have being the lobbies data center that you connect to but the algorithm puts you in a different regions server anyway (or sub optimal server providers) to either accommodate SBMM, reduce que times and other factors with people potentially from a different continent in your matches effecting gameplay. This inconsistency is what killed ranked PC with many ''pro'' players leaving Apex quite early on. This is without mentioning the poor netcode, server tickrate, bug, exploits, prioritising bad connection clients and a whole host of other problems with the current competitive mode and Apex in general.

Because of these things and many, many more.. They'll likely never change ranked into something that i would consider seriously investing my time and effort into again. This is from someone who kept pushing hard for a ranked mode during season 1 on AHQ, achieved pred in season 2 (series 1), didn't play much season 3 ranked because of dashboarding/alt f4 exploit and lost interest while watching it slowly degenerate with very minor changes into what we have today.

Apex is and always will be just a casual cash cow game so treat it like such. 

Edit: Typos with some probably left as last night was a late one. Cheers! 🍺
