Max points in ranked should be higher

As it stands now the game rewards more placement than kills, so maybe a guy that has 3 kills but dies out of the top 10 loses points while a rat that camps the entire game without doing anything can get to top 5 or 3 and earn easy points. I think that a player that goes for the kills should be more rewarded, maybe increasing the max points by 2 or 3.

  • What level are you at? This works in early game but not late. Your still going to need kills.

  • Points should be geared towards kills/assist more than placement.

    We're playing a BR yes, but it's also a FPS. You can't be the last team standing unless other teams are dying...and if you're taking the risk to kill said teams you should be properly rewarded for this endeavour.

    I personally think placement points shouldn't kick in until 5 teams remain and the cap on kills/assist should be removed with point adjustments on both to make this system viable.

    This would eliminate rank scrubbing at the lower tiers entirely, and allow players to reach the ranks they're supposed to be at much quicker. 

  • @Ragarath  I am currently gold, was diamond in the past... But it doesn't matter, you can camp and hide until top 3 and get free points without doing anything, is that ok?

    I agree with @MandatoryIDtag . In lower ranks you reach top 10 and you already get points even with no kills.

    Maybe increase the points you get for kills in top 5? like now you get 10 each kill, it should be 15 or 20, because you are killing the best people of that lobby.

    @MandatoryIDtag I'm going to be curious if the armor changes impact ranked at all. if you had to level up your armor through fighting I can almost guarantee it would weed the campers out of ranked. They would get destroyed late game if they were running around with white armor.
  • @DarthValtrex  They'll likely just switch to charge rifle damage farming lol. You can get a red evo almost instantly with a charge rifle and good positioning. 😛

    @DarthValtrex Biggest myth in this game right now is that you have to fight to upgrade armor. If you find white armor in a crafting spot it is instantly blue. If you find blue you can pretty much make it purple by crafting it twice and then popping one person with one sniper bullet.

    I will not engage a team close up with white armor unless I'm with them right away. It is utterly stupid to do so.

    @MandatoryIDtagMost people are amazingly bad with the charge rifle, they have a hard time tracking targets. They would flock to replicators though. I'd probably camp the replicators and pick people off. hahaha

  • @Cro_Pittt The first thing they should do is remove the '5 kills/assist multiplier' restriction. If one player has 5 kills and the other has 10+, it is obvious that the second one is better so he should climb the ranks faster since his aiming is better and should be treated as such. It's really stupid that both the players get the same amount of RP. Let's face it, it's only that way to make the noobs feel like they actually did something.
