There’s nothing more frustrating in my own opinion, to have something like 12 assist in FFA. 12 assist that could have actually went to my actual Kill Points. I think that assist should be disabled in FFA. Personally I think they need to make a system that can calculate who gets the kill.
So say I shot someone 8 times and got 80% of the damage and then someone kills the person I got 80% damage on with the remaining 10% to 20% to kill the individual. Instead of getting an assist. The kill should go to me.
There has to be a way that the game can calculate who actually do the most damaged and who killed who first.
Just some thoughts
No. I’ve played thousands of FFA matches across and feel your pain terribly playing on laggy Australian connections for a decade now but it just won’t work.
You have just described the absolute essence of winning FFA - how to effectively take everyone else’s kills. Go for the melee when someone else had the headshot? Had an SMG when someone else had a sniper? Had a kill stolen when someone threw a grenade for the double kill? That’s FFA - welcome. Lower TTK like CoD might fix the issue.
Can’t say I like that scenario. That means someone can, technically, win a game without ever landing a kill shot, though it would be amazingly difficult to accomplish. Better suck it up and get in on that kill stealing when the opportunity presents itself. It’s Free For All, after all. Every Spartan for themselves.
