XP rewards are completely unbalanced...

Why is it so unbalanced?

I kill 5 players and get 250 XP, but if I were to afk in the circle for only 5 minutes i would get 900+... WTF? 

It feels like this game is forcing me to hide from players and sit afk in buildings each game if I want to level up.

Who thought this was a good idea?

 

if I drop into the hotzone with my squad, kill 8 players, then die quickly, I would only get 400-500 xp.

if I kill 1-2 players then walk from circle to circle for 15 minutes before getting killed, I would get 2,700+ xp.

 

Steps on how I level up:

Pick pathfinder

Scan a survey beacon

hide in the center of the next circle

alt tab and watch YouTube

tab back in and scan another beacon

hide in the center of the next circle

alt tab and watch YouTube

etc...

 

And now with the battle pass and the "Legends Bonus" (That depends entirely on Survival time!!!), it completely removes all incentive to go out and get kills.

I want to level up my battle pass and character, and the best way to do that is AFKing. 

 

Edit: you get 3 XP PER SECOND... Every 17 seconds you get 1 kills worth of XP

What does this reply have to do with the original problem?
And if I were to kill 8 people in 30 seconds, I would still would only get 490xp, which is abysmal...

not much really.

i do see your point though.

and you want kills to be more rewarding than strategic outplay.

to that i chose to be neutral.

 

if i wanna play TDM i go play d2 or cod.

here i expect the mix of both.

Yep, with characters like pathfinder its so easy to loose players chasing you and hide on top of areas people usually can not get too...

Winning a game gives you around 900xp (I think) which is also pretty underwhelming.

I agree with your point that the xp rewards seem kinda wacky, but you say you go afk to level up? Why do you play the game? I don't understand why people are so fixated on levels as they are completely pointless to the actual gameplay, and if you don't actually enjoy playing the game why even bother.

Imagine its nearing the end of a season and you are still 20+ levels away from the end of the battle pass, you will have a reason to level up then.

BR is about survival, not killing.

What? Survival games are about survival. BR games are battle royals... AKA fight to the death. And ALL of them focus on the "killing" more than anything else. Why are there so many guns, grenades, armor, attachments, airstrikes, etc. if the game isn't about killing?

Well then why does the last man standing wins aka survival instead of the man with the most kills?

 

BR is about survival, like it or not. XP distribution seems to agree.
