Did 730 damage in a Gargoyle
-3 kills
-7 assists
-2 Solo Kills
-5 Most Damage Dealt
-11 components destroyed
-1 team damage

Was told I should 'KS More' after popping a light I mostly stripped down and finally got the killing blow on.

It tried to run, got out of my sight.

Friendly Light went after it.

I caught back up and slammed it into the ground.

"You should KS more."

Pffft, K...

-Continue to devastate with Gargoyle until end of match.-

Killsteal more. Basically whaa whaa i shot a guy a few times and other people probably did too but some other guy came in and got the kill which was rightfully mine because i'm a special snowflake.

I've seen players deliberately KS, especially on CW turrets. They will literally stand there looking at the turret for 10+ seconds to try and time the kill shot.

Its very dumb that the rewards system still heavily emphasizes kill shots over damage.

Damage is NOT factored in for xp/LP rewards. And getting getting a kill shot instantly enables you to get :

-Flanking (if applicable)
-Hit and run (if applicable)
-Spotting assist (if applicable)
-Component destroyed
-Brawling (if applicable)
-Killing blow
-Solo kill

You can do 99% of the damage to a mech, and if the kill shot goes to someone else, you will not get most of the above. You usually only get most damage done, kill assist, and maybe saviour kill. It is a massive difference in rewards.

If you are getting your most damage dealts, the only person who should have any legit reason to call someone on KS'ing is you

[MauttyKoray]

A breakdown:

-I shot 10 mechs

-Got the most damage on 5 of them

-Killed 3 of them

-Solo Killed 2 of them

Gargles for days.

you know when someone has 100hp you deal 51 damage and the second guy 49 you still get the "kill most damage" while you bot are nearly equal in dmg done to him.

also why caring about kills? hats for k/d stroking. Every opponent wrecked is a good opponent, I don't care about kills.

While we're on the subject, has anyone noticed the "kill steal bug"?

Here's what's been happening to me:

I'm gonna describe the most clear-cut case.. I'm playing my lurm boat mad dog.. lurming from affar this light mech... My teammates are hitting the same target.. I clearly see the CT go out, and the target go down, but in the same instant, launch my last volley. They hit it's corpse.. I GET THE KILL... HOW?

This happens to me often, with my kills awarded to other people (often the same guy in one match, multiple times), sometimes I get other people's kills..

I think bad hitreg is to blame.. they should really fix that..

As far as OP.. I sometimes get kill steals, and give them out too.. I remember one time I was playing my EXE, cored a highlander to a hair's width away from death but overheated.. and this firestarter comes along, pokes it, and steals my kill.. I did like 95%+ of the work.. But to be honest, the guy would have blown me away since I overheated in front of him.. So I didn't mind too much..

[Narcissistic Martyr]

I've never understood that mentality.

I don't care about the kill, I just want the damn thing that's shooting at me dead.

You forgot "and we won."

Kill-stealing...it's a dumb concept in this TEAM game.

[Mothykins]

Remember. KS stands for "Kill Secured"

[Skoll]

There's no such thing as kill stealing. It's the same with War Thunder players who get butthurt over the concept. If you wanted the kill that badly, you should have fired the last shot.

[627]

well this is not new to steam...

I once hat some of those matches, where you wreck faces in a fast heavy brawler, maybe even cheese jager, no idea. And after my 4th kill some guy raged in the chat that I should stop stealing all his kills

It was some guy in a hunchie, lobbing missiles at all the targets, full of rage. He had like 200 damage or so in the end

[Otto Cannon]

This is supposed to be a team game, getting the last shot should give zero reward in itself, and there should be no kill count. All it does is encourage people to wait out the main part of the match and then emerge near the end to put the last shot into damaged enemies.

It'll never happen though, because so many people would cry about wanting to measure their epeen in every possible way. Butthurt about killstealing is here to stay.

That would literally alienate everyone obsessed with KDR and then all the "comp" units would probably leave since they have no concrete number to measure their e-peen by.
