But to your point, this is a thread about RANKED mode where the purpose is to show who are the most skilled and elite players in the game. In its current state, it's hypothetically possible to become earn Apex Predator without every firing a shot. You just have to camp to top 3. This is not a measure of skill whatsoever. It does not take skill to hear gun shots and run in the opposite direction.
If they simply removed the kill cap, all play styles would be rewarded. But as it stands, camping is the most rewarding playstyle, and that is not a measure of skill.
No, my friend. It's very difficult if you ask me.

Yes, it's possible t o camp to top 3 and grind your way to higher rank.
However, it's extremely difficult to do it constantly.
Trust me, it won't happen very often. The higher you climb, the more difficult it will be. Players are human, human can adapt.
For example: if someone really play extremely passive, hide and seek the whole game, just move when he really needs too. He will lose more than gain.
In the highest rank, entre fee costs 5 RP, which mean he needs to kill 5 or top 3 with 2 kills just to pay the entry cost, right ? In order to earn positive RP, that player need to work alot harder than others
If he dun kill anyone, he will lose more RP then he earns in the long run. Don't fight = less equipment, basic weapon. Don't kill = he relies only on the RP from placement. Maximum possible RP is 7 ( after minus the entry fee)
How far can he go? If he reaches top 3 in 1 game, and die early in another 3 games. He gain nothing.
Trust me when i say only the skilled players can play in the rank. Period.
There are videos of people in top 10 on leaderboard of pubg on pc and getting there without a single kill it will happen in apex but honestly who cares it seems to me like people have already realized that they are not good enough to get to apex predator and just want the excuse to be ready on why people are better than them

I think the original XP calculation was better, than the current RP calculation. Right now it is all about the placement and the kills. The current ranked pointing system does not reward you for any act that is gameplay wise a GOOD thing in battleroyal.
The RP pointing should be based on damage, instead of placement and kills.
Everything else should be an addition point to the final score, like revive, resurrect, assist, kill, or placement.
