is it normal that I get 3-4 kills a game but die early and get 7 points max and still get minus -42 and also there is an entry fee of 50 every game is that normal in rookie ?I need help please

@TheRedLion93 No it isn't. It's now 50.

I have no problem with people losing ranked points if they don't finish top 10.But for sure kills should count for more when you do, because the grind is too much on number of games you play, now. Ranked is extremely grindy. I understand the problem last season was too easy to get to Diamond and Masters, but Respawn can control that with a variable scale, based on number of players, rather than have it be fixed. They could do that with all ranks, really but it's a bad idea if you don't scale both finishing top 10 and make kills worthwhile to do it. Last season it was too easy to rank up, this one it is too hard with grind.Again, this is a headache because people want to take ranked seriously and then combine that with Battle Royale, an idea that, when formed, was completely for just having a good time and not a main format.I always find it funny how something like Control is considered a secondary format now, and the most ludicrous game mode...send 20 teams in, see who comes out 1st...is something people want to be all serious faced about.

@TheRedLion93 Technically, the entry free IS -35 but it's very oddly worded. The entry free is now factored into the amount of LPs you get depending on your finishing position. So for 15-20 it's -15, plus -35 fee = -50. For 11-14 it's +5 (-30) and 9,10 +35 (0).It's unnecessarily confusing.

You don't have a problem withh that but we do!! Rank is not a tournament and even tournaments reward the losers look at ALGS point reward system and monetary rewards.You get positive points from each and all kill regardless of your placement..You may not see a problem there but there is one actually because if 50% of the lobby don't make points it means 50% played for nothing... they don't want to play anymorethey find the game pointless and a waste of time. Staying alive by hiding and avoiding fighting is not a valuable skill... it is a pretty mediocre skill so that means you keeprewarding this mediocre skill and punishing those who actually want to participate in the killing of teams to win. That also means that less players will enjoy the game and your numbers will go down as well as your revenue.There is no reason to go that route... not for skill not for increasing the player base either.

@tentop Yes.The entry fee for ALL ranked games is 50 LP.You only get +LP if you finish in the top ten.Kills are basically worthless this season in ranked.

I'm rookie IV and I need 1k LP for every division

@tentop Yes, best thing to do to rank up is avoid fighting until top 7 or so.

Rank distribution from reddit post.
Respawn decided to go to opposite direction than last season. Aaand because the top players need to have decent match queue times they are being put in the lower lobbies.
Its safe to say 2/3 of the whole player base is in rookie/bronze after 3 weeks (even with people who stopped playing ranked after those 10 first matches).

Personally I have been going back and forth with few points from silver 4 for week now. It kinda feels like I am being intentionally kept from climbing. SoloQ few matches with 0 braincell hotdrop teammates and I drop to 600/1000LP and then get the surprise win + another good games to be 999/1000 and then back to 600/1000lp. Anyone else with the same issue?

System is definitely broken.

@BallisticMVP I mean its a total hot mess for soloQ people who dont have the time to grind up. You could get matched with some plat level players or with some actual rookie players. Dont really care for rank itself (didnt even play in S17). Trying to have fun and get some challenging matches. I know my level which is not high anyways so this kind of bottleneck means if I play now there is huge chance I am playing against players way above my rank. If I play later those people who grinded their main to max will be smurfing.

@Airish85 and? You would like to get the rank for free ? It doesn’t really change anything. If you get it easier then everyone else will also get it easier resulting in the same scenario just a couple ranks up.

@BallisticMVP You trolling? Dude its not about me. I am only trying to get my thoughts on the matter through using myself as an example. Its a problem that affects everyone. Regardless I think you are missing the point. I havent asked about making it easier or anything.
