Goldie Locks of Ranked?

I'm a new player (Ignite will make my third season) and I just played ranked for the first time yesterday since I figured the season is over anyway and I wanted to see what it's like.

My impression was that it is a lot more stressful than pubs because you have to hot drop, kill everyone around you, if you survive hold down the location,  so sniper attacks on anyone that happens to walk by, move when the ring changes, rinse, repeat.  It just didn't seem as fun to me as pubs and mixtape.  It seemed very formulaic and it felt like everyone was avoiding close confrontations in favor of long range battles and sniper sneak attacks.

For me it was more something I could see people doing because they have to do it as part of their grinding rather than for fun or relaxation.  So, I think I agree with the OP that this should probably be reworked somehow.  I didn't like the feeling of getting negative numbers and when I managed to make it to the top two it felt like my score wasn't high enough to reflect all the work I did.  

Since only one team can win, maybe they need a better scoring system.  Also, length of time you survive should be considered.  I get it they don't want to reward hiding, but the game should reward using your brain, which sometimes means avoiding a fight.  Maybe some kind of combination of map movement with kills.
