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 ...

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 .
Season 13 and 17 were big points leeching seasons, it was a big problem they had to revert it, it was at the point that anybody could hide and get Masters. That is where I stopped playing, didnt see it as meaningful. To appease pros whining about low team count in endgames as opposed to big cashprize tournament like Algs they rewarded placement way more. To the point solo q players would hide in a corner to farm points and so you would be left alone or duo vs tree stacks or the only other way was to hide the whole game like him, hiding for 15 minutes without shooting your gun, that was the most boring thing ever, it also screwed team integrity. Like your damage proposal it would damage team integrity and create farming. Happens often I get 2 kills 1 assist with 400 damage and a teammate get 0,0 with 70p damage, because he didnt participate at the right time, he tried to get an easy knock from far while I waited for the right opportunitime to get my team on the wining side. We dont want to boost players doing useless damage.
It is true that Season 17 was a season with many issues, and it is important to learn from the past. However, in order to learn from the past, you must properly analyze the causes behind the results, or it will not lead to improvement.
In Season 17, factors such as MMR-focused matchmaking, the LP system, point allocation heavily weighted toward placement, healing outside the ring using heat shields, and a character balance different from the current state all interacted.
In short, the situation is vastly different from the current environment, and there is no overlap with my proposed evaluation system. Survival time is merely one of the three target categories, and since it multiplies the within-squad ranks of each category, its impact is limited, unlike in Season 17.
As I have told you many times, I proposed an evaluation system that multiplies the within-squad ranks (not the raw stats themselves) of each category. Not just for survival time, but even if someone farms only damage like the teammate you used as an example, the system is designed so that no bonus is awarded. Your concern is irrelevant to my proposed evaluation system.
