[2020] RANKED: if you get knocked and finished before the people you knocked die. Your kills do not count towards your RP🤦‍♂️

To share the reasoning behind this... Your rank points get calculated on death, so that when you return to the lobby you can immediately see your rank change. It's based on your personal placement, kills, assists, etc. With that said, it's obviously not ideal and something we'll probably patch in the future. To change it we'll need to delay showing your rank change if there are open groggies.

There are a couple of other things we'll likely change in the future like adding team rank in addition to individual rank to the algorithm.

Thanks for explaining this u/rhex1 We haven't given you credit for that in mastery since the beginning either.

Thanks kb3z0n - I don’t want to get into the tech details too much because they can just change, but basically it works like you described. That asides, in spirit there’s no disagreement here. Will change along with some of the other things that players have called out. Some issues we expected, some you just don’t really know how they’ll land until they’re on test or live. Ranked is getting a really great reception, so we’re super happy that the community is sending a clear signal to continue to develop it.

Anyways, part of the fun of ranked is the evolution each Season. We’re really excited to implement feedback into S8 (just a few weeks away). Thanks for the comment!
