I know this guy is like one of the king of whiners in Apex but is this true? Haven't really noticed it since I've played like 3 games of ranked this season.
edit: So people are having max RP without winning so they would let themselves get killed by the ring and repeat the next game. Not really a rank grinder. What do you think are the implications of this in rank? Did Respawn lack the communication of making this more clearer?
@Cheese9Man in the notes it says:
"the maximum kill point RP is 175"
and if you place first there's 100 points.
So isn't the potential maximum RP 275? There dosn't appear to be a mention of an overall points cap

@OldTreeCreeper that was my understanding of it too.
That being said you could probably still get quite far in ranked just by cheesing 175 rp a game.
(I haven't checked if the ranked rp costs have been amended too so take this with a pinch of salt)
@Cheese9Man @MandatoryIDtag I don't play crypto, does he get a kill with any player who is killed after a scan or just team kills?
@OldTreeCreeper assist for team kills I think.
@EREGDS Agreed that I think it favors the more run and gun method of gaining RP. I thought Respawn's stance over not adding solos back in the game was that this is a team game but this rank change says otherwise. I still think that it should go with a team based RP but I can see people not wanting to share that sweet KP with toxic random teammates.
@hayhor You probably explained it the best for me. You can gain max RP even at 7th place hence people are purposely killing themselves already once they reach that.
@OldTreeCreeperThere is a points cap. If you win only 7 kp count. If you finish 7th 12 kp count. This ratio changes the higher you finish. This is why people could use crypto to scan, get kp and then kill themselves. Or two squads can join a game together, get to 12 kp and 7th and then quit the game. There is zero incentive to win in BR now if you can get more than 7 kp early on.
@hayhor I can't find that in the patch notes, can you link please. Seems very confusing to me and if true favors hot dropping in a bit way.
