Second place but champion, bug or feature?

So I jump into Apex for a few rounds of frustration (wasn't disappointed with average lv15 teammates being put with lv90 me). And after a couple matches I got into a lobby ALONE. nobody else got put ...

Well there's only 1 squad that wins the game. If 2 previous game winners are put in one game, then another game will have none of the previous winner. A game always has a champion, so if there are no previous winners, it only makes sense that a 2nd place gets champion.

Another factor that may impact this is the kill count. I wonder if 20 kills 2nd place squad would get champion over 2 kills winner squad.

I had 2 cases of being champion after 2nd place game, in both of these cases my squad had 20+ kills in the 2nd place game.

I still think that even if kills do matter, the 1st scenario (no previous winner in the game at all) is the more usual cause of 2nd place champion.

P.S. I've seen a lot of lvl2-5 0 kills champions, so I think that being part of a winner squad has a much bigger impact on becoming champion than kills.

Makes sense I suppose, to put a second place player as the champion but unless every champion squad are premade the odds of there not being a champion for each server is extremely low considering how many matches are being played simultaneously, and for me to get that twice in the span of a couple weeks seems even more weird but idk
