Ranked points idea
I was playing Offthegrid ranked and noticed they have a more complex ranked point system where knockdowns are rewarded, respawn also but most noticeable is that deaths are punished with ranked point ...

Well who cares if some low effort leech happens, this will happen in any ranked system. The goal is to measure result to get players classified at the right place in the end. Right now you think there is NO low effort leeching?? Just hiding for placement point is actually a thing.
So if you die many times it means you are a burden on your team that have to revive you because of your risky behavior,, that penalty point could have those type of players grind slower or lower so the good players that play smart can grind the ladder together and faster. Right now the opposite is true, reckless players go up fast as long as they have decent teammates.
Then you contradict yourself by suggesting using stats like time alive, damage taken , damage done which are way worse for Low effort leeching than what I suggesteed, a player would hide to have more time alive, he would snipe from far away to do useless damage and not help his team, hide to not get damage received.
"The fact that it happens in any system" does not justify leaving it unaddressed.
If the logic is that no measures are needed because "leeching already exists anyway," then your proposed penalty system would also be unnecessary because "reckless play already exists anyway."
Rightness is not absolute. How things appear changes easily depending on the situation and one's perspective. Of course, I do not believe my proposal is absolute either.
However, regarding the concern that it would encourage toxic play, my system multiplies the rankings of each category within the squad. Because it utilizes the product of these rankings, any unbalanced or biased gameplay will fail to yield a high score, effectively suppressing any advantages from such behavior. As shown in Examples 1 and 2, Player C receives a point addition for individual RP on the strategic side but a deduction on the tactical side. This clearly demonstrates that executing extreme or biased gameplay is ultimately fruitless. ( Conversely, Player A receives a deduction on the strategic side but a point addition on the tactical side.)

Yes it does because there is nothing to address here... some players will always try to go the lazy way and you cannot stop them from doing that... no system can perfectly make this impossible, it was already address in the past and what you proposed as damage done and damage taken is exactly what would be way worse because people already knew this would mean players doing damage from far away with a sniper at the expense of team integrity. The fact you suggested that shows you are the last one anyone should ever listen about addressing leeching.
I am confused by your words.
This is because you contradicted your own theory by stating that because "reckless play already exists anyway," measures including the "Ranked points system" you proposed this time are unnecessary.
You think sniper leeching is still possible in the current environment, but I disagree.
- Regardless of the rank, because we belong to the same rank tier, they know how to manage lines of sight and use cover enemy too. They are not without a brain.
- There is more than just one or two enemy squads. There are 20 squads in Apex BR, and because of the increase in survey beacons and the buffed scanning of Valkyrie, finding hiding or isolated players is easy.
- Due to the movement enhancement of accel and Valkyrie, you will be easily pushed if you are isolated.
Plus, My proposed evaluation system does not directly reflect raw individual stats instead, it ranks players' stats within the squad and multiplies those ranks (3 ≧ 1).
Therefore, unbalanced play is at a disadvantage. In fact, in Examples 1 and 2 mentioned earlier, both extreme players A and C do not get gains.

My theory is correct I played the game so much I know what Im talking about. You can't push a Vantage easily since she will snipe you while you are and kill you in 2 shots and then she can fly away. But she wouldnt just do damage with no brain she could farm damage from distance as a 3rd party and other players also would be sniping you non stop while you fight.
And then even if you kill her, she will be respawned by teammates and continue farming damage. Damage farming should never be part of ranking rewards this would be exactly what you warn about; the biggest point leeching of all time. I agree some will exist because of behavior but right now it is at a minimum it is not a problem. We already discussed it here... you could reward first respawn and punish death. There is no mystery in here.
Also crypto could farm damage, invisible in his drone he could keep doing useless emp damage for no other reason than farm damage. This destroys the whole purpose of the game: killing other teams to get points .
