I get like 4-7 assist per match.
And my K/D ration is like .27 lol
CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE! lol put assist stats on there as well.
It's EMBARRASSING!

[PropagandaWar]

They will get there. I am often in the top 4 with zero kills . My KDR is an honest 2.0 ish and as people get better it drops which im fine with. KDR isnt really bragable so be proud of your .27

[Elder Thorn]

who cares about K/D?
In the end it's about Win / Loss, because this is a team game, and your team's success matters more than your personal one.

A scout doing his job undetected, will probably not have a good K/D, but a high Win / Loss, because he is doing a great job on what he is doing. (just an example)

Assist per game is good...

I want a AVG damage per match counter though.

Persistant K/D tracking is both an interesting thing, and a cancer that kills team-play (in public play). Was terrible in public play on newer Battlefield installments.

One of the best things form early FPS, was that your K/D disappeared after the round. People tried to get a good one (nothing bad with that, it pretty much means victory in Deathmatch), but they were more willing to take risks. Didn't run away as much. Stayed and fought till the end.

I can't count the matches where faster mechs ran away from the brawl I was in. Seemed bad, but nonetheless, I nearly won. A single medium laser could have made the difference. But no, cowards ran away to the farthest corner of the map and shutdown, all to save their e-peen.

Assists alone though, don't mean anything. You just need to hit your enemy with anything and it will be an assist. No problem running around and just shooting everybody once. W/L doesn't mean anything aswell. It's teamplay, no way anyone could check if you actually helped to achieve victory. Maybe you were the only one to do well on your team, but still lost?

Average damage would only work if it also tracked what weight class you run with. An Atlas pilot should deal more damage than a scout.

Persisitent stats will only be meaningful, if we get a detailed track of lots of variables. Average damage, weight class, how many spots, how many assists, etc.

If you care so much for your K/D, play with a group, The only reliable way to keep it high, and if you play in a proper clan, they'll teach you that it never meant anything in the first place.

well for those stats it is kinda unfair anyway, at least for light and medium mechs. generally speaking (not across the board) assault and heavy mechs are going to get the lions share of kills and damapge points. so these stats are skewed towards the heavier mechs that can hand out more damage and take more (thereby staying in the fight longer to hand out more).

I think it would be great to be able to compare your stats with people using the same mech. It would give you a feel on if you were where you should be skill wise.

I disagree about W/L not meaning anything though. Even in a pug, you influence the outcome of the game by a certain percentage. The percentage gets more accurate the more you play.

[Firewuff]

Yep I'm the same. Often 3-6 kill assists bu a kil death ratio of 0.27. Such is the life of a Raven.

although i'd ad you need to do at list 10% of the damage to stop the Jenners running around and hiting everone once just to get assist points.

[Vyrus]

Yes plz add assists and assists ratio.

[MaddMaxx]

Does anyone know the "Assist" calculation? Does applying just "any" amount of damage get you an "assist" or is there a required % applied amount on the dead mech in order to gain an assist?

[Roland]

Assists don't really mean anything at all. It means that, at some point in the match, you did SOME amount of damage to an enemy which was then killed.

[Homeless Bill]

If they're going to put in an assist/death ratio, I'd also like to see a damage/death ratio. In fact, I'd like a few detailed persistent damage statistics (damage done to each component, components destroyed, etc.).
