Assists count as kills

[Smoka]

I realized that since yesterday, my assists (which I need to do a challenge btw), count as kills. I probably had around 30 kills plus rest were assists, but instead game counted them as 46 kills, which are unbelievable for me. xD The issue is still there, cannot make a mission of getting 100 assists. Please fix it guys.

Play as strategist. You will get all the assists you need.

K/D/A in this game isn't accurate at all.

It's Takedowns/Deaths/Assists. As long as you do more than poke someone, you get a takedown.

Assists are gained by applying a buff to a teammate and then them killing something. You can get them with rocket, mantis and storm very easily.

Assists also don't count much for MVP. You hardly ever get MVP as healer if your DPS is competent enough, even on losing games.

Yeah, DPS assists in this game seemingly don't register at all. I only get assists if I'm buffing teammates and they get kills or I'm healing them.

It should be an assist if you help bring down an enemy, but aren't the one that lands the killing blow. This is such a weird decision to not do it this way IMO.

I think they made the Kill stat what we would normally call kills+assists together in one stat to make players feel better about themselves. Having kills be a big number makes em feel better and play more. Final hits and number of deaths are much more telling stats. Just my take.

If you do more than 10% damage to a target that dies, that's an "elimination", which is what most people are calling a kill. An assist is when you heal / buff a target and they get an elimination.

What people often mean by kills, ie, when you finish off a target, the game calls a "Final Blow", and it is also tracked.

By the way, the idea that Final Blows are all that matter is a bad one. By far the most important thing is that your team secures eliminations and having characters focus fire down targets is the correct way to play the game.

I also mean, before assists were visible, now everyone have 0 of them and that's what's weird, it was 1 or 2 mostly, but it's always been there.
