Seems you have to be on winning team to get MVP.

Does anyone else find this a little bit weird? You can get well above the highest score on the winning team, and still not get MVP just because the rest of your team didn't preform well. I find this to be an odd decision.

Not really. Lossing team, but did the most dmg blocking, earned a spot

That's not MVP.

What you got was a commendation. MVP is assigned to whoever got the highest score overall. It seems you have to be on the winning team though, so even if you get the highest score overall in the game, it doesn't matter unless your team also won. Seems a little weird to me to punish the best player in the game just because the rest of the team was not up to snuff.

Not true. I've been high scorer in match, and on winning team, and some player on the other team, losing team, got MVP.

Then what is the metric for MVP? I was on the losing team last night with 16000 more points than the person who got MVP. If it was only score based I should have gotten it, but I didn't.

I'm wondering that myself lol. I thought it was high score too. But I've noticed its not, same as you.

In the 42 battles that I've played, I have only ever seen MVP go to the winning team's player with the highest score.

Keep in mind that there are some final objectives where the two teams pair up to complete an objective and both teams can earn a win.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that was the PVE mode? If yes, there's a timer at the end, if the ''losing team'' manages to finish the objective before the timer runs out, both teams win. Then there might be someone else, with a better score, from a ''losing team'' (read 2nd winning team).

EDIT: not talking about the 10players coop

From my experience, MVP is the highest points player of the winning team.

In PvE final missions, MVP is the highest points player of the team that finishes first, regardless if both teams finished.
(MVP player was 90k, our team finished 2nd and our highest player was 100k, )

10 players Boss fights, didn't pay attention unfortunately. (don't blame me, the fight was awesome).

EDIT: The MVP (10 payer boss) is the highest points player overall.

Just finished a match where I was 20k points higher than the opposing Barrage, #1 out of all 10 players. His team won, and he got MvP.

[Wrayday]

I wish they would just get rid of the MVP crap..... You can tell the dev's played a lot of Over Watch.

Playing Starship Troopers 16 pve I'd rather have 10v Dino's and not 5vE vs 5vE and a scrum at the end.

[GravePC]

I got the highest score on either team in a mission and my team finished slower than the other team. I did not get mvp so yeah the op is right.

you weren't the most valuable player if your team didn't win, to be fair. This is completely normal, even in IRL sports the MVP is always some one on the winning team, even if another player played well individually... After all, it's a team game.

As others have said, MVP is almost exclusively an award for the best contribution on the winning team. The other awards in this game can go to anyone, but MVP, both in game and in real life is a winner's award.

I like to point to LeBron not winning Finals MVP in 2015 due solely to being on the losing team. He was far and away the best player on the court at any given time and at one point was leading or competitive in every single notable stat category, yet still the award went to the guy on the other team. A lot of people point to that year as definitive proof that the MVP award is a winner's only award.

This is definitely a lie and was probably a raid if it stands true, which means both teams won. I have never seen the other team get MVP even with 100,000 more than my team in score if we won.
