@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.
@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.
@pandareno1999It is already happening. You can do it faster. Kill boost until 7th place and kill yourself. Should cut the game length almost in half.
- @hayhor I believe I am reading/understanding it incorrectly. Wouldn't that scenario only net them +195 RP total? 175 being the max from kills/assists, and then the 20 RP for placing 7th? You could still get up to +275 RP total, if you simply finish the match. I know I'm not thinking about some aspect of this correctly, because now I'm confused, Lmao
