Basically changed personal placement to team rank but only if you stay with them until the end. That means if you die early, you can either leave and get placed on whatever placement you get and probably receive negative rp, or wait 20+ minutes depending on the length of the remaining game and possibly get rp if they make it alive.

Surely there should be a compromise between the two so you don't suffer and is forced to wait or else you lose RP right?

I think the balance would be losing rp and be able to leave at the get go if you die early and if your team gets placed in the top 10 or top 5? You get some RP back and it gets adjusted. (With a separate screen or option to see if you get the adjusted RP)

Staying in the game will be because you’re still being useful to your team. Giving info. Making suggestions. Dead doesn’t mean you can’t be useful. That’s why team placement is great.

But if instead of helping you just leave, you deserve to only get the points for the part you played.

Also, for obvious technical reasons, you can’t get points after leaving a game because the points are calculated when you leave it.

Stick around. Help your team mates further. Make suggestions. Help the team. Being dead does not mean you are useless! :)

This pretty much covers it. Those team placement points don't belong to you just because you die, you earn them by sticking around. There's a lot you can still do while dead to help your team such as participating in strategy discussion and making callouts of the things that you notice that your teammates might not have yet. The better your team does, the more points you earn, and so you are incentivized to stick around and try to help in whatever way you can.
