We've all been there... nights where it seems so matter how hard you carry, you can't manage to net team wins and the stomps are plentiful... That said, for those of us who are vested veterans, we know that match outcome is not always indicative to the quality of the match.

A team might win. They might even roll-stomp... But they very often do so by the skin of their teeth. In short... The winning teams mechs quite often are left standing with little more than duct-tape and a prayer...

Point is, while there's nothing we can about the sting associated with a loss, I think the harsh edge might be softened if there was some indication of how close that winning teams house of cards was to collapsing.

Does anyone else feel this would be a valued-added metric at the end of a match to show the damage % of the winning team?

I think so. It won't massage wounded Egos as well as a

But it would help.

I think it should show the damage percentage of every mech at the end of the match. In private matches we have often chatted after and talked about how the other side rolled us only to have them tell us how much we had actually mauled them and how the remaining mechs were all ready to pop.

ON those nights of endless slaughter, I never feel to bad if I did ok. If it is apparent I carried as hard as I could I'm ok with that.

It's those nights where I can not get anything done, no matter how hard I try I feel like the focus of all enemy fire, like your sporting a neon kick-me sign on your back.........those are the nights that sting the most.

PGI should create an end game graph showing the timeline when each mech died. Teaches those reckless pilots not to suck.

The spectator mode for tournaments shows %damage for all 'Mechs.

Add this to the end screen.

Lol, no, it wouldnt. Cuz at the end of the day a loss is a loss in the W/L slot. Plus, sometimes knowing how close you came can be more annoying then just being curb stomped. its like in Wot when its down to the last 2 almost dead tanks and your guy takes the last shot, but due to lame ass RNG, he misses or bounces...or doesnt kill the target and you lose cuz of that....

So, meh....idc how much the enemy won by....in the end, they won, we lost....

I like the idea of showing the % at the end of the match for all mechs.

(Covers matches like conquest or assault where there may be live mechs on both sides)

I would be down with this idea if it showed the percentages of hp left that mechs had in the final scoreboard as individuals and not the team as a whole.

Bah it doesn't go on a shirt (unless she isn't wearing a bra).
