Another thing thing to consider is why certain sports have "man of the match". Sure, the other team won, with like 3 kills, but man of the match showed the most raw skill with 20 and just messed up somewhere and died. Best player was still him, with or without the win. And it's not even an opinion, just truth.
- hayhor3 years agoHero@Unitee01 In other sports typically man of the match is on the winning team. No one will remember who took second at the recent world cup. I'm quite sure mbappe would trade all his goals for the win.
- 3 years ago@hayhor Who cares? Can be winning or losing or whatever...point is, best player is recognized for being the best. Huh? would you trade your kill for the win? Kills are earned, win can be cheesed. period. I won't explain Apex to you again. You know how this game works, if you wanna defend that hide-and-seek is a better skill than reflex-and-killing at the drop of a dime go ahead. Or wait, don't do that, because it's stupid. No one is lining up to see that game play.

@Unitee01 I couldn't care less about being the "mvp" of the game if it meant I lost the game lol. In ranked only winning matters.

If we want to argue this point around what other games do, I could bring up COD and R6S, which highlight the final kill instead of the top performer.
If your ranked team mate runs away from your POI off drop and hides instead of helping your team fight, you can report them for sabotage. My buddy and I do, in ranked. It doesn't happen very often. If this happens a lot to you, consider whether you might possibly be making poor choices of which fights to take, which your randoms are smart enough to avoid.
Don't worry about them climbing too far where they don't belong. Just imagine how long it would take to climb through plat or diamond earning 45 or fewer RP per third place placement.

Blame the game not the player.
it’s funny how there’s like this ethic in games, rather than looking at what the rules are. If you want a game that encourages fighting, then, sorry, don’t only give 12 players out of 60 positive points, snd mot to mention 30 out of 60 the most severe penalties.
The scoring system is what makes the players play the way they do. You have to be a straight dunce to charge into the fray in this ranked system.
This, by the way, is why I haven’t bothered with ranked. I, too, want to have fun fighting. I don’t hot drop, no, but I don’t want to hide anymore until final 4 with my team mates already dead.
Don’t expect Respawn to change, though. They seem very stubborn despite declines in game popularity.

"Best player was still him, with or without the win. And it's not even an opinion, just truth."
Yup, it's the truth. If you're playing Call of Duty where most kills wins.
"Placement could be "cheesed" easily. High kills can not. It's that simple."
Yup, nobody ever "cheesed" kills by creating a secondary account to smurf their way to 20/4k. I've never seen anyone do that just so they could feel all manly destroying noobs and stream it for cash.- 3 years ago@reconzero Not sure if sarcastic or serious. Either way, smurf accounts are a direct result of people getting frustrated with low win rates or whatever....
- reconzero3 years agoSeasoned Ace@Unitee01
There are a lot of reasons why people make smurf accounts. The reasons are irrelevant. The result is a player seeking to match lower than their legitimate mmr for the purposes of attaining easy kills and/or wins. That's what I call cheesing kills. It isn't just something that CAN be done. It's something that IS being done every single match in a game this old.
Which is just a long-winded way of saying that there is no stat in this game, not even kills/death or kills/match or kills/win or any other form of kills... that isn't suspect. Kills alone mean nothing without context.
