Ranked should be Based More on your Ability to get Kills

I'm not saying that the entire survival number of the squad you placed in should be eliminated. I just think it should be more based on your ability to earn kills. If this actually becomes a change, there needs to be a way to eliminate the desire for players to just earn kills and not help their teammates such as making your entire team's kills a factor in your ranking.

 

In ranked in this game I'm at a level where it's sometimes difficult for me to earn kills because there's one player who's obviously far better at fighting in this game. And sometimes there are players who are so easy to kill for me. Clearly there are people who are better running away from the ring and hiding than others which probably explains the reasoning behind some players being much better at dueling than others.

 

I don't think this game would be fun for players who are at the bottom of the ranking based on dueling other players. Because they are not placed in a ranking where they are playing against people who have equal fighting skills as them which makes the game more of a runaway and hide game. And for the players who are good at dueling, they might not be able to find a good match for them in battle because of it as well.

 

I'll tell you that it's not fun getting killed so easily by other players who are clearly much better at dueling than you. Sometimes, these players are my teammates I can clearly tell that they are far better at dueling than the rest of the squad.

 

So I think making kills more of a factor in your ranked would make the game better off.

  • @endtime00 If other people are far better than you and if it’s a continuous thing, you might have met your ceiling, cause if you can’t hold your own you may only drag your teammates down.

    I also think ranked should lean more towards killing/teamwork skill than placement cause I see it so many times that there’s 10 squads left in the 4th circle... it’s ridiculous to check every damn corner.

    ITS A BR Not a call of duty, Kills are important. Placement is everthing. W Key is not the way all the time its about strategy, Teamwork Comes with team shooting and useing your alt at the right time. Good Team work + Kills/Assist = Placement. Sometimes the RNG is crap but that's a BR

    As of this season, kills *are* important for rapidly earning ranked points.

    Without 5 kills/assists, you'll be ranking up very slowly even if you finish top 3.

    Of all the questionable changes that've been  made this season, those to the ranked scoring system have IME been the best received.

    @CrazyPlays54 Points for revives/respawns is a definite thing.

    Maybe a minor point for actively targeting an enemy. By actively I mean when you actually see an enemy the ping follows them instead of just a general direction. Maybe 1 point for 10 actively marked enemies. Cause some ppl don’t even point out enemies until they engage and get downed.

    @paRafaRcc, cool, go hide in corners and get high placement if you want. I’m tired of spending 10 mins in the game only to see 10 squads in the 4th circle.

    May I ask what rank you are? Because when you get a little bit higher up, like Platinum and higher, Kills and assist come super important if you wanna continue to go up in rank and not get stuck in Platinum4 or Diamond 4. There is no way you can only rely on placement when the entry fee is 48 RPs. For instance, A 3rd place with 1 kill will only give you +2 RPS, which ofc wont work in the long run. You need to at least average 3-4 kills/assist and get placed fairly high to have a steady increase of RPs.  

    So I guess it can get a little uneven skillwise in the lower divisions, like silver/gold because there are so many players there who are actually too good for that division but are on the way up and just "passing through" so to speak. So even if kills gave more contribution to the RP-gain, those individuals "passing through" would get to his correct division just a little bit faster, but I doubt that would solve the problem because there will always be good players on troll accounts or returning to Apex from a break in the lower divisions. On the other hand, more RPs for kills would probably increase the mass early hot drops and there will only be 10 teams left in round 2.

  • @endtime00 I definitely agree with this, I think the whole point of ranked should be based on your skill and playing with people that are in the same skill rating as you
