I dont know if I agree with the OP, but ranked is pretty toxic. Literally its a hiding fest till top 5. People literally run from fights the entire game until they are forced too, then its a nade spam fest of 5 teams or snipe fest..
The RP system is a joke, and my main complaint is it is a team based game. There should be no bonuses granted to plays specifically. The kills just keep people either fighting with their team and causing hostility if someone shoots a bullet and finishes somebody. Then this causes your team to start apologizing to each other. To me this is what the main problem is.
I have had many rounds where I have killed 3 people and get downed by a third party that camps my box so I get stuck waiting till the end. This in no case is an issue to me as that is the point of the game. Just boring.

I agree that placement RPs isn't the best way to reward players. It promotes camping which isn't fun IMO given the nature of Apex.
I wish that Average Damage could be the determinant factor for matchmaking. Kills is another variable, but kills may not really capture everything. The average should not really be a lifelong record, but based on the last x games, so to get away from a very binding average based on the life of one's account.
There is something to consider, however, about taking DMG, K/D, and other related statistics into consideration. These metrics tend to penalize players that use, for instance, suppressing fire to support their team.

First and foremost, you should not over commit to a fight in ranked mode.
You should have an exit for every fight.
And if you start a fight be prepared to be fourth and fifth partied.
If I have a team mate that get knocked and we get third and fourth partied, I am exiting that fight!
Survival is Key!
The same thing happen in real life, a cheetah can get a kill in the wild and instantly get ambushed by a group of hungry Hyenas that will be ambushed by a group of Lions for the kill.
If the Cheetah stays to consume the kill it will likely be killed by the Hyenas and certainly by the Lions.
Simply put if you get downed and I have to exit the fight,
I will save my own skin and come back for your loot and banner later.
Ranked is an Apex-Predator dog fight!
It is Survival of the Fittest!
And I plan on surviving
