I don’t like the GP system as I think it overly rewards players and doesn’t allow for effective skill-based points distribution. In nearly every match of KOTH that have played all players have a similar score, despite there being observable differences in individual performance.
The Elimination in KOTH after an update will reduced from 2 to 1 GP. I don’t like this change as it further marginalizes skill in a ranked mode. Kills and assists shouldn’t be scored the same. Additionally I think assists should only be rewarded if a player does equal to or above a specific amount of damage.
I don’t see how the current GP system is assessing player skill. I have played KOTH matches were I couldn’t earn more GP in the 3rd round. The system marginalizes skill by overly awarding points for assists (regardless of damage and engagement). Additionally the GP system allows weaker players to catch up to their more skilled teammates during a match.
Eliminations and now GP have made Gears 5 a less skill focused game than Gears 4. What is the point of having a ranking system, when the system used to score your performance in a match doesn’t effectively measure skill . Players with similar ranking used to have similar skill. However as of operation 4, in my opinion weaker players are progressing upwards due to the GP system.
Please share your thoughts and opinions.

Even though I like the new Ranking system I agree. The change made was good but I was also thinking the caps needed to be raised or other criterias added. It needs to go by score and GP should just be the award. That will fix the whole MVP issue. Yes if your going 3 rounds most likely everyone will be equal or close to each other because the top performers will probably be maxed at the end of round 2.
This might just be another lack of communication I hope by TC. A quick fix but more changes are coming. Instead of just telling us straight out “Hey we need more time to do x, y, and z but can only do x because we want to get the season rolling”. I HOPE! Because if this is all TC is going to do TC is really missing the point.

I think the Gears 4 scoring system should be reintroduced and converted to GP as you suggested. Points should be based on kills, assist, revives, downs and caps/breaks. Kills and assist should be proportionality scored based on damage.

Too Late TC won’t. What we have is what we are stuck with(which is better). Ranking up is a grind. You also need a great stack at higher levels imo. Solo queue I made it up to D2, everything had to fall into place with quitter’s and matchmaking to be on your side. Also I went 1-10 recently due to quitters, drops, and bad matchmaking where I just couldn’t get a win. None of this seems likely it will be addressed. I believe placement matches should be brought back to offset some of the intial Grind. Idk I like the new system but all in all it is lacking.

The cap is the biggest problem i think, also ppl should get extra gp for ribbons after the gm is finished as a bonus. This could reward the high skilled players for out performing everyone👍
Hatrick 5gp
Quint 15 gp
Blah blah blah, u get the idea.

I think it will help a bit as not everyone in the games I play get up to close 80 eliminations, in games where I’m at like 40ish eliminations more than the second person in my squad, I lose mvp or whatever due to one or two caps or breaks haha its dumb
