I dont think it has to do with the score of capping/breaking the hill. There are people who play and never go for the hill and its been like this since Gears 4. Friends and I always joked that there should be an arrow pointing to the ring like they have in racing games when your going the wrong way
Also I posted this a long time ago on here
I’m still trying to figure out when they changed KOTH in the patch notes? I don’t remember reading anything about it.
They changed it the other day
Unfortunately the people that can make the changes are experts in making the wrong decisions on a daily basis.
It should never have been touched, and it’s disgusting that it has. Oh how I miss the days where there was no damn ranking system, just your own personal level, and the game was just enjoyable to play.
So true. This has been the case with Gears forever. People love to chase each other down and forget there’s an objective, then become confused when they lose. They got 50+ kills, but still lost? I was always the player that played the OBJ, and you get just as many kills trying to capture the hill as you would running around.
This right here
I never understood that. If you stay in the area of the hill your gonna get more kills
100% agree, Coalition fix this ■■■■
A REVIVE gives you more points then a cap. Absolutely ridiculous
Not worth 30 points at all
I think this is an excellent idea - didn’t you comment this in a little more detail on another thread? Can’t recall if it was you, but if it was, you should re-post it here as well…
Everyone thinking this way and camping etc or taking sniper in cover waiting until sniper bullets finish in KOTH one …
But it is not to way to play KOTH
OR TDM instead of 15 counting back each team must be 50 TDM Ranked
So who are playing KOTH that way can jump back to TDM
And happy end for KOTH Players 
Yes I did. It was directed to Ryan.

So about caps and capping the ring in KOTH. The points have been lowered because of cap abuses. For example when someone triple caps. Cap the ring, then let it be broken and cap it again. I do understand why the points had to be lowered.
However, there are other ways to approach this. Because it’s the main objective to hold a ring for a certain amount of time. How about changing the cap to time.
So if I get the 30 points + x amount of time it stays capped. Also, the players will be able to see how much time each player has contributed to the total time of the cap. So instead of having 30 caps, the players, will see how much of actual cap time they contributed with.
Also if there’s more than one player capping they will receive that time.
Another thing with capping. If one player almost caps the whole ring but gets sniped and a teammate runs in to cap the last part. I do think the one that died should get the cap to assist point. " splitting up the cap duration to points" maybe in 4 sections and 30 for a full cap.
Edit.
There should also be an invisible extended area around the ring. Where you get extra points for defending or attacking kills/assists.
So when a player breaks the ring the player can get bonus point if there’s 4 defending players unaware. Or breaking the ring and the team successfully cap it after.
nice thanks for reposting - hopefully they look into that. I think it would be a good way to give both sides what they’re after.
No. It was lowered to keep it align with the skill point system.
Yes. The points you got did not reflect the rank system.
here we go, from the What’s up:
We also changed how points are earned in KOTH and Escalation with a ring cap now worth 30 points and a break worth 10 points. We made this change so your score better reflects how we calculate ranked performance.
There you have it, in black and white…
They pay very little attention to caps and breaks, in an objective game mode, when looking at results for rank purposes.
Well is it skillful not being able to hold the hill?
I’m with playing KOTH honestly. They are making this game worse after each thing they do. I don’t know how long I can stay on this game !
İ think it is a good idea who ever in ring or close ring must get more points as you said…
Agree what you are saying about to be close ring and get more points than who is other side of the map…
