Ranked is way too placement biased.

For me, rank should be the metric of how good player you are. Yeah its not always accurate and in battle royale its hard to get right, but this current point system is WAAAY out of whack.

Like if I get 10 kills early game and then our squad dies, I get like 1 point per kill so still heavily in minus and barely any better points than my teammates, who did nothing.

Then on the other hand you can have a guy just ratting the ring every game, and lets be honest, you can get top 5 every time without firing a weapon. And he just gets a bunch of points for effectively not even playing the game.

The current point system has barely anything to do with skill so it's really frustrating. Kills and assists should count up for more, even damage.

Also what is this "skill" bonus points supposed to be? I never get any but my clearly inferior teammate just gets a bunch and already caught up in rank because he might get 100 more points than me even tho he had less kills and damage and everything in the game.

    If all squads were 3-man premades, I would support a placement biased rank system nut this isnt the case since many (most?) players play either solo or as premade duos.  A placement oriented rank system just creates so much incompatibility between random players since there now are so many different ideas how to play this game seriously and tryhard. It also allows player who lack in the key aspect of the game, i.e shooting, to gain ranks way above his shooting level which isnt good either.

    A player who lacks the skills in aim and movement will now make it his playstyle to just avoid fights and just run when your team get the first bullet shot towards you. Why? Since this strategy is the only way they can, and will, get RPs.  So Respawn must really find a better balance between placement and kills/dmg dealt whatever. You should NOT be able to rank above your current skill level of either shooting/movement or "getting good placement-skill"

    @USAno54 Yeah winning is the ultimate goal but I doubt you win more than 5% of your games. So... rank is meant to be Skill based which is about fighting skills not about hiding skills. Hello?!

    BR is a first person shooter which means you have to shoot and kill , hiding is not a skill. Any 5 yo can learn to hide in a few hours.
