Bob must hate me

This is a bit of a rant, but mostly it's a question.

Whenever I am tied for health with another player, I am always ranked below them. When I am eliminated at the same time as another player, I always end up in the lower rank.

This was particularly frustrating today when I had the "Finish in the top 4" quest, got eliminated at the same time as another player, and I took 5th place while the other guy got 4th place. No quest completion for me.

My question is this: how does the game determine where to place players at the same health, or who lose at the same time?

PS: I know it's not Bob, he's too pure a soul to do petty stuff like this.

I was eliminated with other player ending on 4-5 place, Igot the achievement Finish in top 4 place with XX hero but did not completed the quest Finish in top 4 place in BG. Weird bug.

Yes, this was my case too! I got "Finish in top 4 with Zephrys" even though I was in 5th. That's just worth achievement points, of course, so who cares. I wants me that XP

I feel like its either random, or who got to the same amount of health sooner would be on top. But I have no facts to support that claim.
