RP too Low
Now that Split 2 has begun and some time has passed, I really feel that the adjustments made to the entry cost and RP distribution this season have significantly improved the experience. While the m...

In a way I would actually try the "stick" method if anything as positive encouragement to "fragment droppers" have not worked for 26 seasons?
Meaning I would actually introduce a system where RP gained for kills ARE NOT placement related but TIME (when kill was done) related.
As many say / well working practice is to take early fight because people will be on white / blue armor, worse loudout / limited heals / other teams still be on their POI (less chance of 3rd party arriving) = easier fights. So I don't really get why say 3 KP gained in first minute of the game should be multiplied by X just because you managed to "survive" till say top5.
And the opposite = rotating into the zone, being alive and able to kill stacked teams later in the game = harder fights and harder tasks in general = should yield more RP for kill done.
IMO that would work better for players like you and me who post stuff like this because say our randoms from soloq rush like crazy, get say even 5 KP while accordingly 19 and say 17 squads are still alive and are given say 1 RP and 2 RP for each kill = at the end of the game they get placement (delivered by you and me) + e.g. 3 RP in total for first 3 kills and 4 RP for last 2 kills in total = placement points (same as us) + 7 RP. Instead if we get a kill as TOP5 we might be awarded 10 RP = end result we get less damage, less kills but more RP because we used our head + had mechanical skill to convert a kill on our own in later game stage. = no bragging rights to rushers / overall insignificant yet still better result rank wise to us.
This way I would say fragment droppers would be either forced to leave the game (raging) and miss out on placement points or in any way potentially gain less than the person who tried -> forcing them to change as only option for them to outscore you in RP would be winning like 2-3 fights 2 vs 3 (assuming you don't drop fragment with them into 10 teams) which is hard task to do and kudos to them if they are able to do that.
Current system unfortunately makes players like you and me like fools = we have bad gaming experience not able to play like we would prefer / like game should be played, players who by luck get those early KP then gain more RP because of placement we bring, overall gain more RP than we because they gambled and won (this time), potentially matchmaking also then views us (no KP, just placement, lower damage etc.) as worse players and put us in worse lobbies with worse teammates...
The process of translating your extensive response, analyzing each item, and then generating my reply in English consumes a considerable amount of my time and effort. I ask that, moving forward, you formulate clear and concise points before presenting any further arguments.
I welcome the increased disparity that Top 5 RP gain would create. As previously stated, I appreciate how the current strict RP distribution has intensified match quality, and I do not object to this gap.
This clear distinction is essential for easily identifying violators and maintaining the quality of high-rank lobbies. Those who have sloppy playstyles early should not reach the top tiers, and players who are too focused on themselves to contribute to team coordination—even when playing solo—should not be present in high-rank lobbies.
I favor rewarding players who demonstrate strong teamwork. However, the unfairness of matchmaking itself is a separate issue that should be solved by the matchmaking system, not by RP distribution adjustments.
My core concern remains that the overly restrictive RP gain is unnecessarily increasing the number of matches required and causing player burnout.
your alternative raises serious questions about its technical and environmental feasibility for players. in contrast, my proposal to increase rp exclusively for top 5 placements requires only a bonus multiplier on the existing system.
Finally, I must correct a potential misunderstanding: I do not share your way of thinking. I do not believe that I am right and others are either wrong or inferior. My scope of understanding is limited. That is why I frequently frame my arguments as hypotheticals, beginning with "What if...?" and concluding with an open question like "Why?" or "What do you think?"
