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

  @dSKyNafinchin I dunno. Somehow he says you can get max earlier. I don't play ranked so I haven't really studied the points. But even if it was 195 vs 275 if you could play 10 minutes and get 195, is the remaining 10 minutes worth 80 more points? Or should you just die and start again.

    @hayhor Haha that's my problem with understanding it too, I just play pubs. You have a point though, and maybe that's more what he was referring to? This would only work for better players though. I didn't often max out KP when I used to play ranked, so I would still need to get my placement points. If I could get +195 or even +150 in a matter of the first few minutes though, I might be inclined to do the same! Although, at higher tiers, I would probably still want placement points to help offset the entry cost? I should probably jump into a little ranked sometime soon, to see how I like it these days
