@Vdstrk @NNeil6991 Sure, perhaps you are correct and it is was they wanted but I for one hope that's not the case. Surely there were, and are, other ways to make the defensive (not campy) legends more viable.
As for learning from Apex Elite all I would say to counter that is do you think the developers and EA are really that quick? I don't believe they would be able to anyalze half of the data that they obtained from the Elite queue before ranked came into play. I wouldn't argue that it was a so called beta though but again more than likely to test multiple queues, player count and the basic stats.
The biggest problem here is just the one scoring system (RP) but multiple ways to earn it. Don't limit it and people will just play game after game in quick succession looking for the most kills and never win it. Not an issue to some but if your solo and your squad are running into every battle when you are more conservative then there's the issue. But on the flip limit it and then only allow for more RP for placement people will camp after 5 kills.
I still think there are other ways around it and kills and placement should be rewarded differently for a start.
