Skirmish: Assists and more

[metryinghard]

wish assists was included and not only limited to kills,deaths,damage,healing,cg on combat results.

i just want to ask if flag cappers would be given bonus signs for capping the flag in future patches. if its not included i would like to suggest it too since its equally hard to kill/heal and cap a flag lol. idk if this is on the proper section. feel free to move it

RFE: added poll

I foresee much more flag cap trading in that event :/

IMO, to promote better teamwork, all the team should get the same rewards, so that the whole team has to work towards one goal, instead of fighting amongst themselves who should capture a point.

Also, as far as I know, the best characters for capture are mages with R3 reflections.

I agree with Panda here- every member should get equal rewards. Anyone being carried will reduce the likelihood of rewards for the whole. Not sure how I feel about big performers getting extra credit in future, although it might finally encourage people to fight at the flag rather than chasing healers in the middle of nowhere.

Perhaps it is a little unfair that only the killing blow counts for the personal scores, but to award 'assists' i.e. throwing useless dots on a player would be worse.
To be honest I don't think anyone takes serious notice of the kill count, so long as you aren't afk or dying 7+ times each match it doesn't matter. If you have 15+ kills then it's most likely your opponents are not the sort you'd boast about killing.

High damage but low kills means either you are pestering healers for the whole 15 minutes or are assisting your team with their kills.

yep but let's not be blind about this. most nubs people base your contribution on your kills

Definitely. When I'm killing a guy from 50 yards, my arrows take time to get there. Meanwhile, some warrior charges in and lets off 30,000 skills and gets the kill. He did 30k, I did the rest, and he gets the kill. Of course, that brings on "you suck, you can't get kills" crap even if you're the highest dps on your team.

Some of these people. Ignorance.

I don't give a crap about that when teams are random.
