S20 Ranked system brought nostalgia, but is deprecated and outdated now (HOWTO)

Hi! The old ranking system was brought back with improvements. That's a good and bad idea. Some suggestions, the purpose being to bring everyone at their proper placement faster instead of having e...

@Doc2FX Looks really nice, except for the "10 points for reviving, per teammate, starting round 3".

You would get teams that would get knocked by the ring, and then revived by a teammate over and over again, boosting their points.

If you think players won't abuse easy points like this, look back at S17, where placement was heavily rewarded for placing at least top 10. Rats everywhere.

@Midnight9746 Try that in any game, especially ranked, after round 3, you'll tell me how it goes. 🙂

Also: could be round 4, but at this point you just trigger a drop ship and you get snapped out in 3 seconds.

(Also where do you get all those beacons and res points? ^^)

Also: I don't use the words "rat".

There's zero concensus behind that, and having teammates wiped out doesn't mean you should suicide and ruin hopes just cause your kiddy teammates died early.

Fighting for every point is not being a rat, it's being a tiger.

  @Doc2FX I meant the teammates who, (off drop in S17), would land in spots, like on the back of the game's banners, on mountains, on cliffs, off the edge of the map, under the map, etc. and would be not moving, (or AFK) for most of the match to gain points.

    @Midnight9746 Oh yeah. People who actually fight against the "blobbification" of Apex Legends maps.
    
    Well, if the maps were designed so that it would be possible to properly hide (it is, but only against dumb opponents), I would somehow support this. But long gone is the time of Counter-Striker maps, we need complexity, not deserts with a couple of square buildings.
