It looks like Respawn is dead set on keeping the RP system the way it is for ranked, but I think they should increase the amount of RP that you lose for finishing greater than 10th place.
In my opinion, it might be a good change to lose something ridiculous like 250 RP if you finish above 10th place, because right now it seems impossible to de-rank. Sounds like a crazy number and I chose 250 randomly, but the point is that it should -hurt- your RP to finish above tenth.
What do you think? Would this just encourage more ratting than what already exists?
I think they should just increase the amount of RP you get for kills. They said they want to keep it in a way that the last person standing wins.
