Teammates running away from every encounter in ranked

What does a ranked system that favours placement over kills and knockdowns get you? 

a game mode where everyone does nothing but camp until the final ring or runs like the wind at the slightest sound of gun fire 

literally so many ranked games these past few days have been a team pushing us and both my teammates run away in opposite directions, so even if I do manage to down an enemy I’ve got no backup whatsoever. Or if one teammate gets knocked the other one will just bail on the fight and run 1000 miles away to hide in a corner 

Now don’t get me wrong I’m all for playing smart in ranked rather than just full sending every fight, I know how RP works. I will however stand my ground if we do get pushed as I’m fairly confident in my ability to win fights, something that clearly can’t be said about my teammates.

You’ve created a point system that’s so messed up that people are terrified to get into a fight before the final ring, you’ve effectively taken the “Battle” out of Battle Royale

I dunno about the rest of you but I’m sick of the current ranked meta of camping, ratting and abandoning teammates at the drop of a hat. The RP system needs to be reworked so there’s more emphasis on kills, assists and maybe knockdowns and far less emphasis on placing, not winning but just placing

  • @Bean2kay9 Preds doing everything they can to avoid committing to fights while charging evo till top 5 then farming golds and plats... Love it!  /s 😞

    Still bad matchmaking, still several exploits, still bad RP system, still preds not based on skill but time played, still bad or random server/connections/network/netcode/simulation w/e it is, performance is inconsistent and complete dog poo, still not much support for ranked on AHQ or by the devs...I have tried fighting tooth and nail but honestly, it's a lost cause.

    Apex ranked absolutely sucks and very unlikely to get much better.

  • It really depends on the situation.

    But... oh, come on... which map is in the current Ranked Mode?

    King's Canyon!!

    It has small, conjested, many choke points terrain...

    Do you think it is a good idea to fight in early game?

    Then you will be 3rd partied.

    (If you want to fight, maybe it is not enough to just down 1 enemy.)

    And anyway, you will be faced many enemies in the later game.

    IMO: Kings Canyon is not good for the ranked mode.

     I never say it is a bad map.

     But it is not suitable for the ranking system. 🤔

  • The ranked system favors kills over placement.  Always has and always will.

    @KelRiever not really.
    You have a limit to how much kills/assist you can get in a game and after that it all relies on your teams placement. The higher your team places the more multiplier and placement points you'll gain so it's much smarter to just play it safe as much as possible.
