Kill chasers ruin the mode. It's a team game where idiots run around chasing every little kill, instead of valuing positioning an opportunity. Placement needs to be the biggest factor for points. The goal is to survive. That's the game. Sure you need to be able to kill, but the real goal of a BR is to survive. It's not team deathmatch.
One easy fix would be to select the type of roll you want to fill: Examples I'm mostly a support player very team orientated, don't care if you kill steal, don't care if you take the item I pinged, whatever it takes to win. Captain is very critical roll this player should be JUMPMASTER 100% of the time. This person should get a special ping indicator on where they want us to go. This person will make the other two morons get in line. The best teams are the ones that flow together and to many randoms have no clue where they really should be focusing their attention. Mark you want to be captain and people over time will learn well he's the captain thats who I'm following. Because they could have clicked that box and didn't.
When rank first release I ended up leaving because of how juvenile it was. It's still juvenile. I'll have zero problem leaving again. Here's another thought have two rank variants. One for Rambo players and one for strategy players. Run both side by side see which players end up actually enjoying more. It will be the one that favors strategy and team play over kill chasing. Most kill chasers are either low IQ, a god or a hacker.
Streamers ruined shooters every kid has this idea now unless they kill the entire lobby they're not good. Nope. If you win your 1 on 1's you're good, You don't need to chase down everyone to prove that. I value strategy over kills, and so should the rank system. The goal is to survive, that's it. That's the game. It's not to be John Wick. It's not to be Rambo. Those guys lose to a team of 3 flowing as 1.
