Hello, first off I want to say that this game is awesome and so far I'm loving it. Secondly, I was playing Team Deathmatch (the only thing I could play) I tried just having fun, getting kills, and blah blah blah. Well, that didn't go according to plan.

I lost my temper as I dwindled down my enemies health, and one of my teammates comes in and takes my kill at the last second. Now, I get this is a team based game and all but come on. I got about 7 assists in 5 minutes. My overall assists was 12.

Ughhhh :(

Fortunately for you, good sir, all you really missed out on was any kill bonuses you might have received, as experience is calculated by damage dealt, meaning if you did most of the damage, you will get most of the EXP. That is why sometimes you only earn 16 EXP from a kill, and sometimes you get 110 EXP from an assist. There are also critical assists, but I have NO IDEA how to achieve them. All I know is I get them all the time.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

MMR is not determined by KDR, and what allows you to top boards is not kills, but EXP. You can go 0/15/20 and top the board, so long as no one gets more EXP than you. Therefore, don't worry about it at all, just have fun destroying semi-anthropomorphic scrap heaps with your own semi-anthropomorphic scrap heap! :D

Assists gain you XP as well. I love getting tons of assists, means I've been helping my team out a lot.

Get your hard on.

Assists = good.

Team mates who think assists are bad = bad.

Your teammate probably saved you. And if you improved your skills, all those times you would die, you would kill instead.

I have a pretty slow PC and can't aim as well as I could with better FPS. Assists are a freaking godsend to me :D

assists = teamplay = team oriented game modes like team dm/siege/ma

caring about kills = self-centered gameplay = solo play like dm

I earned 146 exp from an assist once...no joke.
I was fighting at distance with a turret brawler with my rocketeer, so he recoverd all the time. I fighted him for a long time until a reaper showed up and farted an am-sar bullet when I overheated.

I always get tons of assists and very few kills in TDM. I had a game last night where I came in second out of everyone, and my score was 3/8/19. I guess that is what happens when I throw Hellfire volleys every which way in my Bruiser.

TEAM death match.  So long as you win, it dont matter.  But if you're really worried about "pro stats bro", then worry about your score, not your KD.  I've topped the second place score by over 500 points before, with only just over a 1.0 KD.

.. you have enough topic tags in there_

In any case, XP is calculated at Damage given, not kills (or so I am told), so it really doesn't matter as much in who gets the killing shot

I personally don't care, I get my kills as fast as I can, but if someone finishes him off for me, then fine

now vultures, those are annoying, but you hardly ever see them
