Fire Drakes and Storm Lords scored 464 and Pit Daemons scored 416.

Thestephenmcraeub17_ESO · August 2018

Yeah I'm not really sure what needs explaining...

Hulda · August 2018

Fire Drakes and Storm Lords are 2nd, Pit Daemons 3rd.

Cerbolt · August 2018

It's called a draw.

ZunaRoath · August 2018

I think he means more that the Storm Lords had better medal scores than the Fire Drakes, yet its still a draw.

LordSarevok · August 2018

I don't run Battlegrounds. But it looks like the Storm Lords should have won that match by a lot. If there are no factors other than scores shown on screen. Storm Lords had a total of 10,605 points, 42 kills, 41 deaths, and 59 assists. Fire Drakes had a total of 8,185 points, 26 kills, 30 deaths, and 48 assists.

Kikke · August 2018

if this is a deathmatch, then death is a factor. And as you see; Storm died more than Fire. but Fire scored more than Storm. Aka Draw!

LordSarevok · August 2018

If that is true. Then the Storm Lords had a k/d rate of 1.024% and the Fire Drakes had a k/d rate of .86%

LordSarevok · August 2018

And if they only score deaths so negatively couldn't you just take 4 self sustain healers in and not die to win?

Carbonised · August 2018

This wasn't a deathmatch, from the medals it looks like a Domination match, that is, capture the flag, which means the kill/death ratio is meaningless as it doesn't count.

Medals also don't count in any way towards the team's total points. Points are awarded for objectives, in this case, holding the flag once the timer ticks.

Many times I have ended up with a great medal score and personal achievements, but came on a losing team, because the overall score was bad as my teammates didn't go for objectives.

Was that enough explanation?

That makes sense. I think I'm stupid because I run tons of BGs but never thought about that lmao!

The_Protagonist · August 2018

This is either a Crazy King or a Domination Match, the score does not depend on flags captured and held and the kill count unless its a defensive kill.

Many teams lose because they think every match is a deathmatch. If actually is NOT a deathmatch, then kills/deaths don't count for anything other than personal badges, all the points are awarded for objectives in the game.

and that's a great way of getting a lot of kills and a low score to prevent your MMR going to high into the MMR-queue-hell. Indirectly you help your team by killing everyone, so it's not like you are dead weight.

driosketch · August 2018

This is probably time running out while both teams were tied. I think if they had ticked the final point simultaneously, then they would both have 500.

The_Brosteen · August 2018

Time ran out in a domination match and 2 teams tied.

Next question.

Soleya · August 2018

PTFO

madchuska83 · August 2018

I think he's referring to his specific score. 10 kills, 24 assists, 2770, 2nd overall.

FrostFallFox · August 2018

You didn’t do any healing for your team smh. (Jkkkkk)

In that case, 10 killing blows and contributed damage for another 24 kills by their team. 2700 points by adding up the medals. Not sure about the remaining 70 points.

Joy_Division · August 2018

I dunno but three guesses which of those 12 players is the sorcerer who spams endless fury while ignoring objectives.

All of which means very little when you need to capture flags

Spot on and I point that out to the people moaning about about mages wrath..

elijafire · August 2018

Thanks for all your amazing replies, I can see why this forum is where everyone goes rather than reddit because it's totally non toxic!

What I should have added is that it was a capture the flags and we owned the majority of flags the whole time, we didn't skirmish away from flags, all deaths and kills are fighting for flags or defending our own.

Skysenzz · April 2019

You should fix your group heals. Damage is nice but having group heals is even better.
You'll see how much you win when people in your group heals a bit rather than not at all.

Weesacs · April 2019

Well ... the main thing I got from that scorecard is that young "Veg" on the green team isn't playing the objectives and is only going for kills that's for sure.

Reverb · April 2019

Necromancer went live ahead of schedule?

MJallday · April 2019

It was a land grab not a death match - kills count for very little score wise

siddique · April 2019

People keep killing in non-deathmatches without realizing that's not the goal and you aren't really doing much even if you killed 40 people.

Teeba_Shei · April 2019

Deathmatch scores are always in intervals of 15 so this clearly isn't a deathmatch.
