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...

@DarthValtrexWell said , i agree wholeheartedly. this is actually exactly how I feel about it and not sure how anyone can argue with what you’ve just stated there.

Absolutely needs an overhaul for fairer point distribution and to prevent people that just plain and simply do not belong in the higher ranks from getting there by just hiding .

@MassiveVernon It would likely make the top lobbies even harder and increase queue times. But you would be able to solo queue through it.. You would have nothing but good players in the lobbies so it would definitely make things harder.

I just think the RP system can be improved. Things that could be changed..
1. If you get eliminated and your banner expires than the RP you get is for the placement achieved when the banner expires.
2. The LL revive drone should not be stealing kills and assists. At the very least the assist timer should reset when the LL drone starts, so that the player who initially downed the enemy has 5 seconds after the drone revive to get the assist.
3. increase the KP you can get. Possibly doubling it.
4. reduce the Placement RP maybe increase the placement RP for a top 2 finish. So the solo campers are not getting positive RP for placement alone.

You can still play passively...

@DarthValtrexYeah I agree entirely again . All good, valid points that should really be considered by the devs . I can’t see anything to argue with here , and a few of those points should really stand out to everyone. like really , why should you get extra points for dying then spectating your teammate hide their way to the top 5 or whatever ? And yeah don’t even get me started on the LL drone revive kill steals lmao.

The mode is absolutely in need of improvements like these , would really make the whole thing better .

@DarthValtrex Also it isnt a person's fault if their deathbed expires. Some people wont even try for the box. So I'm not necessarily for placement at that exact time. It seems odd people get placement points when they have been dead for 10 minutes but again how is it their fault their teammate didnt get their banner? The game doesnt know circumstances. It is too complex.

I'm all for a boost to kill points but what really needs to happen is disabling tier demotion. Because players that get to play 4 cant go back they keep playing their dumb ways.

We also need this split and season reset stuff to be limited. Preds shouldnt be able to sit out 3 splits and be bronze. Platinum is the lowest they should drop.

  @hayhor Good points, I might be going a tad extreme. I just think the system can be improved upon.
  
  Trials might be alright for one person to go while the others drop to sky hook or something. But there is not enough loot there for 3 people.

    @DarthValtrex One lands inside trials. One lands big building just outside. The other lands in the back. Plenty of loot. But the team must pay attention and be ready to move when someone gets attacked.
    
    I agree the points stuff should get tweaked for more points due to kills, just not to the extreme where hot drop killing means more than placement. That is all we need is hot dropping in ranked.

  @hayhor Yeah that is a good point , didn’t really consider that . But still , definitely room for compromise.
  
  @DarthValtrex I agree , for me personally I’d never land at trials - but I guess that’s all just down to personal preference in the end . I mean there’s plenty of times a day I choose to land in perfectly reasonable places, get a building and a few supply bins to myself and still end up severely under looted regardless haha
