SBMM - RANKED
SBMM - RANKED
What is it based on? Does anyone know?
1. I think there should be a permanent mode that is based purely on damage per game or KDR. IMO, DPG or KDR is the only real measure of skill. If wins must be factored in they should account for no more than 20% of the equation.
2. Ranked mode is broken in this sense, anyone who spends enough time playing can camp or get carried by friends and rank up even if their skill level (KDR) is negative. Depending on the amount of time they play they could maybe even make it to plat or diamond. Avoiding fights and camping until 3-5 squads left is no indication of actual skill. Ranked Mode's purpose is to get you into matches with SIMILARLY SKILLED OPPONENTS (and teammates presumably). Staying alive while eliminating others is MUCH MORE indicative of skill than just staying alive.
The multiplier in ranked mode should be the number of kills and place finished points should be reduced.
Something like this...
9 - 10th = 10. 8 - 5th = 20. 4 - 2nd = 30. Champ = 50.
1 kill/assist x10. 2 k/a x 12. 3 x 15. 4 x 20. 5+ x 25.
5 kills, 12th place = 125 RP minus entry. As of right now that performance would be 50 points minus entry.
2 kills, 5th place = 44 RP minus entry. Right now its 60 points minus entry.
8 kills, 3rd place = 220 RP minus entry. Right now its 140 minus entry.
Place finish is important but again, staying alive WHILE ELIMINATING OTHERS is MUCH MORE indicative of skill than just staying alive. Currently, this is not reflected accurately in ranked mode.
