When will damage and just survivability give positive RP

The most frustrating part of ranked is the fact my team mates average 200 damage per game, while I can range anywhere from 1,500 to 3,000 per game.  We truly need a ranked algorithm where average ...

@anab0lix enemies stealing kills need to stop, especially now everyone is just ratting and using snipers.
I shoot someone for 190 damage and some dude from another team shoots him once 300 meters away and gets the kill, the game should at least give me half of the RP as per the damage that I did.

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 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.

    "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."

    There is so much wrong with this statement, at least the way I'm reading it. I would love for you to elaborate on what you mean, and also talk more about "needs to be addressed."

    "Snipers add stress to games." Are they supposed to send you flowers before they shoot? Are they supposed to send a thank you card after they knock you? Is there any part of this game that isn't stressful? Any part that isn't supposed to cause stress? And what does "while adding zero value to the sniper" even mean? If I use a 301 up close and don't get the knock is shooting in general stressful and adding no value... to what? The game? The player? The squad? I don't understand what you were trying to say there.

      I didn't mean to make it sound like an attack. I was just truly shocked by the statements and did not understand at all where they were coming from.

      I read every word and I get it now. Your last paragraph is a 100% accurate description of me as a player, just several rungs down the skill ladder from you. The other difference is that I long ago gave up on any notion of balanced matchmaking in this game. Which is why I count a match as completely successful if I snipe my way to third place, get a kill or two, maybe even tip the win between the other two squads, and quit before anyone can kill me. It's sad as that is hardly the way the creators envisioned people playing their game, but they've got a lot of work to do if they want it played some other way. And at season 15 I'm really not holding my breath for any big changes. But I still appreciate your disappointment.

        This is an entirely different situation as well. I'm almost 100% convinced that Respawn and EA are actually trolling all of us. This game won't clean up until EA starts listening and allowing Respawn to make serious changes.
