Exactly. The game system is entirely broken in terms of "ranked" and skill. I do believe the ranked system is broken in many regards right now. We've had 15 seasons of the SAME SBMM and ranked system. However, let me be very clear, the "skill based matchmaking" is failing me astronomically. I maybe 5-10% of my games am I being paired with players of equivalent or even better than myself (heaven forbid I be carried).
In regards to kill stealing, I think damage would negate your issues as well. Snipers are nothing more than rats currently only adding stress to games while adding zero value to the sniper unless you get the knock/kill. Which in turn, needs to be addressed.
However, again - I should not be paired with players doing 200 damage every game expected to carry them. Those same players are making the most ridiculous mistakes in the world as well. Then half of those players will talk crap to me, because I didn't push into 99% certain death.
When will damage and just survivability give positive RP?
When will they
#FixTheMatchmaking ?
When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When your Crypto quickens again, and you get cash from FTX. Then Apex will be good, and not before.
@maximas1986This the only case that's really frustrating when it comes to kill stealing but having average damage determine RP is not the solution. All those snipers will just exploit it.
@hayhor Yeah, if damage gets you RP then everybody would just play with a charge rifle in order to farm damage, ruining the game.
@hayhorI don't agree. Charge rifles are already part of the game and people are farming with them already. I can deal out massive damage with a flatline, 301, or spitfire very easily. I don't think the idiots in this community would care anyways. They are still going to charge into a 99% certain death situation and duke out 200 damage for the KP. As long as KP outweighs damage, then the issue for damage would resolve a lot while maintaining the integrity of the current situation.
They need to find a way to implement damage into the ranked system regardless. Good players are going to push those charge rifles very easily. If the charge rifle becomes that big of a problem, remove it from the game straight up. I can use any sniper effectively and often love using a sentinel for how hard it hits. I can get one shot knocks very easily while amped.
