[2022] Has anyone figured out how kill rp works at all?

Original Post — Direct link

I was watching Nickmercs and he managed to win with the following stats:

Entry cost: Gold 1 (-48) Match Placement #1 (+125)

12 kp (5k 7a) (bronze x2, silver x3, gold x7)

And then 9 team kp (silver x3, gold x6)

According to the info that Respawn have given the calculation for Kill RP should be as follows:

2 x 25 x 0.8 (for the bronze kills) plus 10 x 25 (for the rest of the kills) plus 9 x 25 x 0.5 (for the team kp)

Which would come to 403, which admittedly seems like a lot, but not entirely unexpected given the change to rp bandings. However, the total shown came to 184, less than half the calculated amount.

There must be an oversight or a bug, or I’m definitely missing something…

That's interesting. Here's nokos gold 2 12 kp win for +262.

Can't figure out the formula though lol

It's not a direct formula. Checked the math 184 looks accurate.

No. Don't got time, it's complicated.

That's unfortunate.

11k for Diamond while still getting around the same RP for wins as last season? Seems unnecessarily difficult. Might not have the time commitment for this seasons grind :(

He's got an 184 for only kills, as oppose to 125 from last season.

Thanks for clarifying. Although I’m pretty sure that in the Ranked Reloaded notes, it specifically said they’d made the rp calculation “simpler” lol

Na, we just represented the multiplier in a more simpler way.

The whole RP calculation math is more complicated to introduce more flexibility and reward edge cases.
