I dropped a bomb on an Atlas, he was getting it hard but killed me in the mean time. I got no damage points for it. Why? Frustrating.
Also no rewards if you get killed but could otherwise reap a lot of assists.
So okay I'm dead, is Mechwarrior punishing you for this even if you helped your team towards victory?
It seems like injustice.

Did the match end?
They stopped damage and kills from happening after that point for some reason.


You used to be able to die from overheating or strikes after the 12 kills, but it changed at some point. No idea if those counted towards stats.

Not sure I fully understand.

You can only get assists for mech that you damage, that eventually gets killed. Also, the number of assists you see reported on death is not the final value, it gets updated at the end of the match for mechs that you damaged, but got killed after your death.

When you say you dropped a bomb, do you mean an airstrike/artillery, or is it just and expression (e.g. you went in all guns blazing)?

It was an airstrike. Right on target.
Try this: inflict alot of damage, see them getting killed by others, die in the mean time >> no rewards

If you were the last mech standing and you dropped your airstrike on an opponent and they take you out before that strike comes in, you won't receive rewards for it because the game is essentially "over" the second the opposing team creates a winning condition.

So your damage technically came in AFTER the match ended it sounds like which is why it didn't count in your score.

I was the first to die.

We need a vid or something. This doesn't add up. And I AM NOT questioning your reliability or honesty, it just doesn't sound right.

If you wait until the end of match, you should see complete totals if that has not been mentioned.

I have seen kills from ammo explosions after death get added to my time of death totals.

This is not a lazy pgi conspiracy. It is just not possible to give you numbers for things that have not occurred like assists. I do think a log that could be referenced later would be nice, but we may also see big provable issues with hit reg (the conspiracy part here).

^
also airstrike "right on target" doesn't exist. The damage is doled out by the RNG, we have no control over that accuracy and whether or not it hits a specific mech

I don't doubt you, I just think you've made a mistake somewhere without seeing some evidence. If it really did happen it was a bug that I've never seen anyone else complain about and I'd suggest submitting a bug report to support.

EDIT:
Also, if you don't stay until the end of the match, any rewards you accumulate after death are null and void. You don't get them. It's to help cut down on suicide exploits

IF you didn't do the most DMG (kill-Most Dmg Dealt) and you didnt get the killing blow, all you will get is an assist.

This too, If you dont stay for the whole match doesnt matter if you threw down 900 dmg and 3 kills, you wont get any rewards for it.
