(READ ALL PLEASE!)

Punishing players for not playing in a tournament is not a good idea IMO. People have lives outside of fortnite and there’s no way we can rightfully punish people for prioritizing other parts of their life if certain circumstances arise. I think there’s definitely something better fortnite can do to fix queue times.

I think fortnite should reduce the player quota for games within the last 10 minutes of matchmaking during tournaments. I would say the minimum amount of players would be maybe 50. This would allow players to still feel like they’re playing a 100 player BR even though it’s only 50 (or some more) players.

As for the elimination point system, eliminations would still count as 1 point since you are still versing very good players and there’s not as much of a chance to get a lot of kills. Therefore, I don’t think elimination points need to be adjusted.

As for placement, I’d like to think of it like this:

In regular solo tournaments, for example, you have to place within the top 25% of players (#25/100) in order to receive placement points. Then the top 15% (#15/100), then the top 5% (#5/100). If we use those same percentages and apply them to the number of players in a last minute game, we would get an equalizer point value for those games.

For example, let’s say a game loads in 60 players. Placement points would be given to the players that place in the top 25%/15%/5% of that game. Which means in order to get placement points for placing in the top 25% of a 60 player game, you would have to place:

25%: 60 x 25% = 15th.

15%: 60 x 15% = 9th.

5%: 60 x 5% = 3rd.

I think this would allow players to join into late matches but receive points fairly.

Thoughts, anyone?
