Kill cap on ranked is way too low
Seriously should be worth a lot more , I just got 11 kills 2 assists in plat lobby but came 8th so only got +34 points . Was such a long match with 8 squads still alive in round 4 and I did really w...

@MassiveVernon Yep, ranked needs a lot of changes to be better. Currently it's not that lucrative for grinding. Tier demotion protection, splits etc needs to be removed.
@BaldWraithSimp I dunno about getting rid of tier demotion protection. I know I'll rage more if I JUST made it into diamond or even Plat only to hot drop and immediately die.
Teammate hot drops while I have demotion protection "ah annoying but whatever."
Teammate hot dropping with demotion protection and I'm venting.
Multiple games where teammates stupidly push fights while I repeatedly ping "I need ammo" and there'll be a few more holes in my wall.
- @Zamaha400 they hot drop and lead you into a bad spot then run away and leave you alone with no gun.
- @Zamaha400 If you can't handle fights in Plat or diamond you deserve to go down. I am tired of getting matched with Plat IV who are so useless, you would understand if you were solo queue player.
- @Zamaha400 The thing is, if they removed demotion protection, the people that play stupidly would drop back faster.
My voice of disagreement:
while the kills vs placement is off, I think overall the system is all right.
There’s a lot of grief over the way other people play in this thread. I’ve always argued, however, that you’ve got to play as a team. And if that means someone lands 700 meters out, do your best with that person.
People overemphasize kills. I get it, adrenaline is an addiction. But one reason Apex is good is because you use strategy not just kills. A kill cap of 5 is to me the best way to point that out.
Not to mention there’s always a line and in this game it’s platinum. You can’t get past plat without kill ing people of your own skill level, or out performing when you have a bad team mate. So yes, this is going to be where the complaints are.
Best option is to party up with 3, as a pug myself I think you have to be extraordinary to solo and advance to diamond. But hey, that’s where the line is snd I understand the frustration. Everyone wants to be a predator.
