Ranked Play - Fixing the RP system.

I ran ranked with the same 2 players until Plat 4. They are both in gold now. They didn't play ranked last season and were willing to run to Plat with me this season. Right now they are playing to plat by themselves so I am now stuck with the dilema of waiting for them(which is probably what I am going to do) or I can sludge through with randos til they catch up.

I tried 3 random games this weekend first "team" I got was a gibby and a caustic. Within seconds of landing gas traps were placed in front of doors and about 30 seconds in I hear dome shield up. 

Ok so how do these players even get this far? Camping? I am not sure. Once the circle proved to be in our favor, the little village between capitol city and Geyser, they camped in the building closest to tunnel with gas traps everywhere. One had white shield the other none. They weren't looting just sitting there. Of course the first squad passing through after first circle wiped us out. I roamed the country side around there pinging other spots to move to. Nope just gonna sit here. Frustrating to say the least. But since I entered Plat 4 on a win I had extra Rp to lose and voila close to the bottom of the barrel.

Next game Lifeline and Wraith with decent stats on their cards one is rank 4 the other 3. Want to land refinery as it is the first stop on the drop ship. Ok maybe they can handle spread and cq fighting. We land one gets a P2020 the other a longbow an dI have a wingman. No shield nothing else we are in the main building the lifeline calls out an enemy at the tower to the left and they both jump off our building to go chase down the enemy there. Well it was 2 there and their buddy up at the house who was fully geare up. I followed about 20' behind my teammates and they just charged through the little doorway at the bottom. Guess what theo other team had a player on either side of the door and my teammates got downed without firing a shot. I was at this point less than 20 meters away from said doorway when their teammate blasts me with a charge rifle from by the houses cutting my health in half. Now I am committed on firing into a squad of 3 with a 40 per shot damage weapon. Ok sounds like fun.

It didn't end well.

One more game of ranked randoms and it was ok I did my own thing and stayed close to my teammates but pushed forward on my own clocking of the circle and edge guarded most of the game. Running around the edge sucks sometimes, but at least this game I walked out with 4 kills and some banked RP. Placed 4th or 5th. 

My point is that it seems like the ranking system may work, but there has to be better emphasis on kill points, reviving and less on just surviving. I want to find where I am at my ceiling not where my  teammates ceiling is per se. 

And with all of this I am just going to have to wait for my 2 man pre-made to catch up to play ranked again which sucks, but a helluva lot less frustrating.
