Average play time is lower in lost matches; therefore the suggested change to rewards is a significant nerf to RP rewards for almost all players.

tl;dr: Most players with win rates higher than 33% will probably be losing RP with the suggested change to rewards.

Most people are just assuming that it's a 20% buff to rewards on losses and a 20% nerf to rewards on wins, so if you've got a 50% win rate you'll break even.

But that's not quite right, because the suggested change is changing the multiplier that applies to your match time, and the main reason the winning team wins is because the other team runs out of spawns, meaning that the losing team gets knocked out first.

So the average player on the losing team has a lower play time than the average player on the winning team.

In my case I believe between Air RB and Ground RB it comes out to around 10 minutes average in a winning match and 5 minutes average in a losing match.

The argument for RP rewards is between:

• 0.9 RP/second for loss and 1.1 RP/second for victory
• 0.6 RP/second for loss and 1.4 RP/second for victory (as it is now)

That gives us the following RP rewards using the new values (this is a base that has other numbers added to it):

• 0.9 x 5 x 60 = 270rp on a loss
• 1.1 x 10 x 60 = 660rp on a win

While the current values give us:

• 0.6 x 5 x 60 = 180rp on a loss
• 1.4 x 10 x 60 = 840rp on a win

Given a 50% win rate I'd get something like:

• (270 x 0.5) + (660 x 0.5) = 465rp average per match for the suggested new numbers.
• (180 x 0.5) + (840 x 0.5) = 510rp average per match for the current numbers

So roughly a 10% overall decrease in rewards. (I believe my actual win rate in Air RB is around 40% and Ground RB around 50%)

To break even I'd have to have a 33% win rate:

• (270 x 0.67) + (660 x 0.33) = 398.7
• (180 x 0.67) + (840 x 0.33) = 397.8

Only a very small percentage of players will have win rates below 33%, almost all players are probably in the 40%-60% range.
