Can We Please Talk about Reward Distribution?

[Baby_Sam 614]

I am pretty sure the dev team knows about this problem and that was why they decided to reward kill assists recently (in CTF/CP battles), but I am not sure that they know how detrimental it is to the game in general.

 

Yesterday, I made an experiment in a CTF. 1 on 1. 1 person captured the flag 1 time only, and the other person destroyed him 20 or 30 times. The one who has captured the flag and did not make any kill won (crystals) by a huge margin although the other (loser) scored a lot more. The other person who killed him tens of times was practically donating his rewards to the winner of capturing the flag.

 

This is ridiculous. I think rewards should be proportional to score for everyone involved, but the winning team should get a multiplier, say 1.5x. This way, you are still rewarded for winning, but the reward is not big enough to screw up the game for. If that is done, nobody would quit a battle and camp out until someone on a winning side in a different battle goes to the bathroom or something and does not come back within the 5-minute pause period so a vacancy comes up on a winning team.

 

What does everyone, especially the game designers think?

Actually, that is the principle that the CTF and CP mode were based off of. It is not about the quantity of kills you get, but rather capturing either a point, or a flag. If you so deeply care about getting a good reward for your kills in a team mode, I suggest you start playing TDMs.
