Why promoting camping

i always saw this game as a kill or get killed game, like Quake, that's what i love about it, very intense fights, but now on plat, everyone is just camping because of those points you get from top 1...

I believe all the changes were intended to produce an environment promoting camping, and the use of characters such as Caustic, Gibraltar, and Watson.
With the ranked system taking into account placements, camping is definitely the outcome desired.
I believe that in ranked damage should be rewarded instead of placements and kills.

@Vdstrk While you make a valid point and that it does make sense I still have to disagree. Doesn't mean to say you're wrong though.

In regards to rewarding RP on placement, it's a BR. Why wouldn't you? The idea is to survive the longest.

As for rewarding damage this has been discussed on multiple threads and I side with those that say it's too easy to farm damage and will go totally the opposite way and even before the first ring half of the server will be dead.

    Sure, I respect your position.
    I disagree with the fact that farming damage is as easy as farming kills. I often enough see people with a few kills and maybe 150/200 max damage. How? Easy. They wait for their team mates to either reload, or for them to heal and jump in preying on the player weakened and score a kill. They are kill stealers specializing in just doing that.

    To answer your question about why not rewarding placements? I have a better question, why rewarding them?
    More specifically, because it is a BR, the goal is to be THE last surviving team. Everyone else won't matter at the end.
