Who came up with the new BR ranked RP system?
Really?! I mean really?!
Biggest problems in ranked so far:
people don't teamwork, hotdrop or spread to run into 1 vs multiple and die, leaving more sensable players alone or at best in a team...

@Eshshshss I personally think they are going in the right direction with this. As it is now in diamond if you wanna make points you have to get some early kp and then go in a strategic position and camp the whole game while waitting for opportunities to get easy kp. It's really reallly boring.
I would shift the focus from getting a good position and camping for placements, to actually be good at the game and take fights and win them in order to get more points. I would halve the placement points and add that to kills, maybe increasing kp to 12 instead of 7.
This is coming from a 2 times master player.

@Tad844you at least honestly confirm what I said in the initial post - people with higher rank and pre-made squads will become even better, their lives will become even easier = they will be able to "camp" and wait crazy kids/newbs/whatever you call less skilled people to just come to them to be killed.
At least before ppl like you had to hunt them down, run around the map worrying about campers, not anymore, no need to play Blood or Seer anymore either.
I am speaking from the side which most people in the community are - ones that do not have set squad - playing with randoms now will become a nightmare, because you will not be able to play games like I did yesterday, when my randoms died after first team encounter, trashed me for not pushing the next squad that wiped them, yet I managed to get a 1st place being solo for the most of the map with 3+1, got 150+ RP for that in Ranked. Now... I will get like what is it 60 points for the kills and be deducted 48 for playing in Diamond lobby = +12 RP. Wow what a reward for the effort of winning the game on my own.
And more importantly, such players who trashed me for not pushing and then ate their tongues and enjoyed free 100 RP for placement earned by me, now they will keep trashing me.
Plus I will have actually an incentive to die earlier not to benefit ppl like that - they push first teams, get e.g. max KP in 2-3 fights, I finish on 0... so I will just die, so they get 0 RP for it as the reward for "great" teamwork.
Long story short - less skilled, intelligent, mechanically gifted players were using the argument "let's get KP" and now they will do it even more, and die probably even more so frequently. Sad.
- @Eshshshss I'm taking your example when you said you won a game with 4kp and got 150 RP in diamond. In s11 when you will win a game in diamond with 4kp you will get 40+45+100-48= 137, assuming you got the 4kp from 4 diamond players.
The changes they did to ranked are very small, but they are explained in a complicated manner. What it comes down to is the fact that instead of 6 kp you now will be able to get points for 7 and that's a win in my book.
That's 25 more points that you're gonna get compared to season 9, assuming you get max kp on same rank players.- @Tad844 well I hope you are right and have figured it out because reading the Apex patch notes I can't understand how the system will work to get to the results you are presenting. Also in their example on the webpage they seem to say that 7 KP is max yet proceed a few lines lower with calculations for 9 KP...
Apex!
Plus still, I get robbed of 13 points + = ~10%, just because I camped... still shifting the focus towards kill kill kill - that point remains true even with your explanation in place.
