RP and AP Thought
by Asmodeus566Original Post
Apex is a team game with lots of plyer individuality. Emphasis is currently placed on individual skill. RP is awarded for Kills and assists and of course placement.
How many times have you had a game that you thought oh nooooooo we are out of it and a teammate pulls through with a res that leads to your win or even the double respawn that gets you to top 5 or the win.
Wait a minute reviving and respawning teammates does not give RP. Well maybe it should, this would encourage team play a lot more, make it a little bit more worth it to go back and get that downed player and or their card for respawning.
As far as AP goes the point system is not clear on how it is calculated but I still think that somehow revives could be added into the calculation.
How many of you agree that RP should be awarded for revives and respawns?
Happy Friday.

I understand what you are saying and people will abuse things either way.
The thought here is rewarding players for team play. Currently there is little incentive for revive respawn.
I know of countless times I have saved, Revived or respawned teammates where we were in a bad situation from the start. Hot drop teammates down, collected badges and respawned them. Rotated around the map picked up KP and placed top three. I could have decided otherwise and maybe ratted my way to top 10 or 5 all alone. Incentivizing revives makes sense as the whole team could profit from it.
Issues with abusing a system will always be there as there are enough people that will and or look for ways to play unfairly.

Food for thought see what happens.
Keep up the hard work improving the game.

Not serious here because I like team play one could avoid both issues of possible abuse Kill/AP farming and respawn/revive farming by making the game solo only. No teammates to be farmed one way or another.
Seriously supporting your team should be rewarded and that is performed in more ways than just getting KP.

From a previous post of mine.
Well I know this might be long. I am not the best Apex player nor the worst and I have good and bad days and I have slowly come to the conclusion and really think ranked for both BR and Arenas needs to be updated/fixed. I have been playing since season 1.
Please do not take the below suggestions to literally they are a starting discussion point only and keep in mind "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one"
The concept of the game in BR ranked is team play whether you are playing with friends or solo jumping with randoms. I get the concept of the current ranked points system and feel that it is decent however team play is not rewarded at its fullest. so here are a couple of serious suggestions for making a decent system possibly better.
1, Remove the placement multiplier for kills.
2. Keep placement RP award as is.
3. Award 15 RP for each kill.
4. Award 8 RP for each assist .
5. Award 5 RP for each revive.
6. Award 10 RP for each re-spawn.
7. RP for kills and assists capped at 75 RP per game.
8. RP for revive or re-spawn capped at 45 RP per game.
9. keep the ranked entry cost the same or make them slightly more expensive seeing as points could now be gained for revive/re-spawning also.
10. Remove rank protection.
I also seriously think the BR ranked experience would benefit from players only be in ques either one rank above or below their current rank and should only be playing against players one rank above or below them only.
I think the above might be something that works. again this is a team game and helping downed teammates can go a long way towards winning a game and should be awarded. not all players are great assault players but sometimes they are that great support player and getting the res off to keep the team going just like some legends.
Now on to Arenas ranked. I really like me some arenas it helps keep you sharp in cc skills and I use non- Ranked Arenas as a firing range so to speak. what a great way to warm up. however the ranked arenas point system is not well done or well balanced or whatever, it does not work. I think that the AP system needs to be made clear as far as points awarded goes, this hidden MMR and AP award system is way too ambiguous. Again this is a team game concept and team play should be rewarded.
1. Add a ranked cost starting at silver that increases at each higher rank. IDK say 20/25/35/40/45?
2. No rank protection.
3. Award team that wins the Arena game AP. lets say 60 AP.
4. Award team AP for each match won in a game whether the team won the game or not. 5 AP per match?
5. Award player individual AP for kills and assists. 5AP each?
6. Award player individual AP for revives. 5 AP each?
As with the BR Ranked I also seriously think the Arena ranked experience would benefit from players only be in ques either one rank above or below their current rank and should only be playing against players one rank above or below them only.
I think something like this would allow players that perform well even if their team ultimately loses be able to still gain AP. I mean it is really frustrating when you get 8 kills 1400 or more damage a revive and when you lose the game all you get is AP loss.
let me know what you think and if someone who reads this has a way to flag highlight or suggest the read to a DEV please do so, what the worst that can happen they laugh at my suggestion.
See you on KC/WE/Olympus or in the Arenas I will probably be the one you just eliminated or maybe not
