After being a die-hard player of Ranked since it's release, and watching many twitch streams of some of the highest ranked Predators, I think its time for the Ranked meta to change.
The highest ranked players are some of the most boring to watch. They basically get loot and camp.
Trying to solo que ranked is also upsetting. I can't teammates get a couple kills or assists early, then go camp in a hole until endgame. Yesterday, I had a game early I was 1 and 1, my teammate had 3 and 2, we had an easy 3rd party to push, and I was left alone because they had zero incentive to get into any gunfights.
Why, for example, in Platinum, could someone get zero kills, camp to the top 4, and gain +8 RP, while someone who wiped a squad and has 3 kills, but gets 11th place, lose -6? Who would you RANK as the better player?
There should be, IMO, no points awarded for placement, only a bonus for the winning squad. Because I dont care if you take 20th, 8th, or 3rd, if you aren't the champion then you lost.
The current ranked Meta makes the game more and more boring to play the higher your rank is, because you aren't trying to gain kills or get in gunfights, your just milking the rings to mitigate losses.
Players should be awarded for High Kill games, honestly, who's the better player, one who gets 10 kills/assists but dies with 12 squads left, or the guy with one assist who makes top 3? Because in Diamond, the first gains +2 rp, and the second gets +7. Who would you rather have on your team?
The shredders should be ranked with the shredders.
The point system is honestly too simple to make. You get RP for every single kill/assist, and if you win your RP is Doubled. This incentivises both players to fight, push, and keep the game exciting, as well as a way to incentivise Winning.
Let's get camping out of Apex, and make the game as fun and competitive as it should be.

I definitely agree 100 percent that the ranked system needs a hard reform when it comes to the scoring and points.
