RP loss?

So i have a question about RP in ranked.

So if I die with zero kills in the beginning and they refuse or cant take my banner, will i get the same amount of RP loss if i leave straight away when my banner runs out or do i lose less points if my team wins or get top 3?

  • @netroopia if you die and leave right away, after banner goes away, you'll you get negative RP, but if you die right away and stay until the end game there is a chance you'll get positive RP.

  • @netroopia Basically what @spimmy_x said. If you are downed and finished with 0 kills at the start of the match, you can stick around and hope that your team mates get you good enough placement to gain positive RP. I believe placement RP starts at 13 squads remaining?

    I believe how it works, if you are downed and your respawn beacon fully times out, you can then leave the match with no abandonment penalty, if I am thinking correctly. If your beacon has not timed out though, you will still receive negative RP and the abandonment penalty/timeout from playlists. There should be a prompt that you have to acknowledge when you attempt to leave a ranked match, indicating that you will receive abandonment penalty if you leave at that point. If you do not get this message, you should be ok to leave, in theory. If you do leave after that point, you would only miss out on any potential placement RP that your team mates might earn during the remainder of the match.

    Also, Bronze rank has no entry RP cost, so as long as you don't leave early and get the abandonment penalty, you will not lose any RP, even if you don't get placement RP or kill points (KP). The entry costs begin with Silver rank.

    @spimmy_x I can't speak for all, but I got over 100 AP for my first win after my placement matches. I have only played the one match after placement, so I can't speak to how it will adjust as I play more.

    Arena ranked is a different method than BR ranked. The link below, explains how it works, and how the AP coincides with your rank and MMR.

    @dSKyNafinchin I know how it works and its different. I was questioning him on losing AP for winning a game. I got 100+ and the first couple wins after placements, but now getting like 50's.

    @spimmy_x That definitely sounds more like what I am expecting for my own games. I'll hopefully be getting into more ranked Arena this week, so I'll just have to see how it goes! I don't understand how people would get negative RP for a win though. Curious to see if it happens to me too, as I get more ranked matches under my belt.
