No chance to recover

We need to reward competitive players by top X% instead of the hard numbering placement. The margins in this game are just too thin. One small error in timing, one small clear miss, or your clock being set a few seconds off can have a huge swing.

Even better, kill placement awards in PvE all together as it should be.

Tonight I missed grinding 2 nodes to zero, needing time for 2 more fights. Dropped me from 8th->22nd. So now instead of actively in the competition for for 3 covers I need to see if somehow i can scrape into top 20 for 2 covers if I'm lucky. There is no way to come back from that; no way am i going to end up in top 10 due to 5 minutes of lost play. Even my 8th place finish was only by <10 points. When scores are going to be in the 50k range or higher that's nothing. Such a small difference in points over the length of the competition should not result in a huge swing in rewards.

Yet another thing that tells me the devs don't actively compete in the game. What a craptacular feeling to lose so much over so little.
