Re: Ranked Point System
IMO, the point system SHOULD be harsh, just like it is in Diamond. 60 is a perfect number for the RP entry cost. I think the goal is that the RP given minus the RP taken for each lobby should be as close to 0 as possible and I think -60 RP per match would make just that.
The biggest flaw of this game when it comes to the ranked point system is that too many bad players is moved up through the mid elos like silver-platinum, where said players totally lack the appropriate FIGHTING SKILLS for their current rank. It hurts my eyeballs when I get into a team with a premade duo in silver and all they want to do is avoid fights and loot and when they are forced into the first fight of the game, they die with 50 dmg dealt... THIS IN SILVER! The goal of the ranked system should be to correlate player skill with player ranks and sadly, there are literally no correlation between skill and rank between bronze and gold4 I would say.
I really think Respawn was on to something when they made the RP entry cost 60 across the board for all ranks. Finally, we had actual true hardstuck silver and gold players. 60 RP entry cost pat least made it harder for rats and players who only can get carried from climbing the ranks. Sadly, Respawn couldnt handle all the whinning crybabies, who were used to reach diamond4 with 0.2 KD but with the -60 RP system was actually stuck in mid silver, so they reverted the system back.
