Ranked Changes I would like to see

Just wanted to put some non toxic things I would like to see changed/added in Ranked..

1, Points for overall damage instead of kill assists:  Numerous times I have done 90-95% of the damage and the time to get credit for the assist passes or a 3rd party takes the kill.  Even if it was small like 1pt for 100 damage..

2. Re-spawns: If someone brings you in - i think that person should get a small point boost.  It would help the support role better

3. A rank between gold and platinum..  I breeze through the levels till I hit platinum and then everyone turns into a pro ( lol )..  I am obviously not one of the best players but I stop playing once I hit platinum since I hit such a huge wall. 

That's really it - add more or debate if you want to..

  • @xR7MEx 1. This game is built on teamplay/trios what if instead of everyone being individually scored, it changes to team score instead and all 3 scores are combined to 1 total?

    2. Ive seen quite a few boosting in ranked with beacons not sure if there working, i wouldnt give a point boost but maybe let them respawn with a p2020 or mozam

    3. Ranks dont really mean much dude just depends what days you climb hoping the good players are taking a break

    I actually never thought of team score and yeah - that would solve a lot - I am going to steal that idea ( ill give credit lol )..

    I am aware that the ranking doesn't mean anything but I am "goal" oriented.. You also get a lot less people quiting in ranked then you do in normal rooms.
  • @xR7MEx Imo the biggest change that needs to happen is the REMOVAL of the 5 multiplier cap. If you get 10 kills in a play lobby, let you get those points and move the hell up to similar skilled players.

    The other issue is, someone who camps and hides to endgame and has no kills should NOT be getting more RP than someone who has 4 kills and 3 assists but dies with 12 squads left.

    There shouldn't be an emphasis on placement besides maybe a bonus for the winning team. A squad that avoids fighting and waits out the 20 min match for placement and takes top 5 shouldn't be rewarded more than teams who actually get into gunfights, whether you place 20th or 2nd you still LOST. And ranked which is meant to be SBMM should be just that, progressing players based on SKILL LEVEL, kills, assists, damage, etc.

    @CocoaHyena - I agree with the cap - shouldn’t be one. I also don’t think a team that camps should be awarded either - which is why I want to see some sort of points gained change to encourage the people who fight, pick up banners, respawn teammates.
  • @xR7MEx Too bad we've been saying this forever now and they just keep saying "Ranked is working great, so we're not going to change anything! Except of course adding in a reconnect feature that allows your teammate to disconnect mid fight, and then not give you loss forgiveness while you watch your teammates character stand there until the ring closes and kills them".

    Pubs sucks because everyone just quits and its basically just team solos. Which would be fine, if ranked didn't also suck and doesn't actually separate or reward players based on skill and ability. Also influences players who have a couple kills or assists to leave their teammates to die

    as much as i don't like campers and i hate the living soul of their play honestly its a part of the game and i don't feel like making this game somekind of arena battle would do the trick , i believe that the only change needed is the removal of tier demotion protection, then people hitting a certain rank would either demote to where their skill is at not creating problems for people that can climb or just go for pubs (where there should be no sbmm according to their own statistics..) .

    The counter argument here what i usually hear is but wait people will demote willingly just to feed their ego .. ok on that point there wouldn't be that many people that can demote to do that if sbmm wasn't a thing (5% of people are diamond + so to say that sbmm helps the 95% that would have a 5% chance of getting a pubstomper in their lobby is just ridiculous..)

    Second argument would be but there are not enough players and this would make so many not play ranked at all since they can't climb , i believe they said this game has millions of players weekly so honestly if the ranked players drop from 3million to 2 million i believe that wouldn't create any problems, also I don't think that would happen , I think it would incentivize players to improve more and more.

    Third argument i get is "Bro if i demote from plat 4 i will quit this game" well to be honest I don't believe the people that say that, they will most certainly not quit but if they do.... i think that maybe its a good thing, getting rid of a few toxic players create a great community that can have constructive criticism and not only moaning about things.
