Suggestion Idea: If you get eliminated BEFORE you get a chance to take a turn (in standard and terminator games), you don't lose points. Winner would still gain points as usual.
Specifics: If you get eliminated before your first turn comes up in terminator and standard game types, you don't lose points. "Winning" points would stay the same. This would ONLY be invoked if someone had NO chance to play. .. missing a turn would "count" for these purposes the same as playing.
I would lean toward keeping assassin games "as is" because those are structured as individual games anyway. In a team game, a person eliminated is still sort of "playing" via their partner, so this would not apply. Similarly, special games like "Battle Royal" would not have this rule.
Why it is needed:
It just doesn't seem right to lose points when you don't get a chance to play even once in a "normal" game. Granted, drops are always luck, but as the games get bigger, the chance of one person getting eliminated immediately grows.
The winner should not be "penalized". In fact, I could see argument for even giving them extra points as a bonus for their "prowess", but that would be a separate idea. I don't think this small change would take a lot of effort... just a couple lines of code added to the point allocation forumlae. (if player's turn=0, then point deduction = 0 or some such).
