Idea About recovery's

Well what if the recovery player only dealt the last hit? What if some player did 99% of the damage then you swoop in for the kill? Should you still get all the credit just bc you got the kill?

Naw. Recovering is still a different area from killing the carrier. While most times it doesn't happen, you might die before you can recover so someone else will have to get it. It's unfortunate if a teammate "steals" your recov, but it really doesn't matter. It's not like one recov is gonna make or break your stats.

 

Agreeing with @BrandinoB here, there are certain situations where you kill the flagbearer but die before you can reach the reocvery. The fact is they are 2 very different things. It's most notable for an archer. Archers can kill multiple bearers but they often need to have another player recover because they're relatively a long distance away. I understand that it's annoying, but ultimately it shouldn't be changed, because that player risked their neck to recover, you just killed the bearer. Each has it's own credit number associated. What could be more interesting is if we published carrier kills on stat pages.

 

@Proterozoic posted a small paragraph?
Could the world be ending?

 

As the other two have said (Bran and Chaos), the way it's done now shouldn't be changed. I understand the pain of your recov being stolen, but in the end, it doesn't really matter. You can always kill another flag carrier, or steal someone else's recov.

 

What brandi, chaos, and adam said

 

While you're at it you should give the 50 credits for capping to the person who originally stole the flag.
Sounds wrong, right? Indeed it is.

What about me?

 

I'm saying it's the same concept. It makes no sense whatsoever.
