Assault map on Alpine. Thought it's going to be a draw as neither base was capped and it timed out but we won instead. Is this supposed to be "working as intended"?

The victory message was wrong anyway, as there's still one enemy mech left standing.

Are you absolutely sure neither base was TOUCHED?

If EITHER bar ticks down by even ONE, and the other team doesn't match it - that is a win condition. Someone on your team probably partially capped the enemy, and they didn't do the same to you.

And yes. Victory either says cap/tickets/destroyed. There isn't one for 'kind of bullshittted the enemy.'

I can't be 100% sure if either base was touched, I was engaged in crossfire the whole match and was the last casualty on my team. I had thought it made no difference, if I remember a thread I read a long time ago.

The others in that match were saying we won because we had more players alive, but I've not heard of that one before.

Yeah, seems like capping is not taken into account for draws.

A lot of the stuff you linked is months ago, which means it doesn't matter anymore.

I have not seen a single thing that suggests to me that I am wrong. I HAVE SEEN my team lose because the enemy partially hit our base and hid.

Now, if they are trying to FIX that and they THOUGHT they had it locked down, that is different. Destined didn't really answer the question, he just said it is a "known issue." There are a lot of known issues they have confirmed as wonky without being explained to us as to why.

If/when time runs out on a match with Assault, the team with the "higher score" wins.

By higher score, I mean the score at the top of the screen (like 8-0).

All TKs do not affect the score (so, it actually may be beneficial to TK a crit teammate to deny a kill for the scoreboard).

All kills to DCed mechs do affect the score.

So, based your screen, your score was 7-6 for the winning team.

The status of base capturing doesn't factor into the decision for a win/draw.

AFAIK, this is working as intended from the info provided. However, the message that told you how you won is technically wrong.
