Kill Points uncapped in BR Ranked?
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 w...

@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

@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.
- @OldTreeCreeper It is in the picture cheeseman showed above. The dev states it. 7 kp max for a win. 12 kills count tho for 7th.
@hayhor I'm not sure I understand the picture but after looking at it, care to elaborate for me please.
With regard to tbe dev, its someone quoting the dev, including the words "somthing like" which is not definitive imo.
@OldTreeCreeperFrom season 11 patch notes:
"The kill RP cap (as we have traditionally thought about it up to this point) is effectively being raised from six to seven. However, this kill-related RP cap can be reached in different ways, depending on tier differences and placement. Placement is still paramount, and you still must place first to have a chance at max total RP."
From what that says, the only way to max out with 275 RP is to place 1st in the match, and max out kill RP. You can get a maximum of 175 RP from kills/assists, and an additional 100 RP if you place 1st, for a total of +275 RP. I don't play ranked anymore, but the patch notes indicate that you can not attain +275 RP without placing 1st (See screenshot). You can max out kill RP without placing 1st, but apparently can not max out total RP without placing 1st.The thought strikes me that this could be an encouragement to people who are inclined to kill boost.
