In Response To: Re: Why arena ranking promotes selfish play (nash--housewares) : Well, technically, his K/D ratio was infinite before he decided to sacrifice : himself. =) I'm reminded of the Halo Graphic Novel, where Half-Jaw points out that sacrificing yourself to defeat your enemy is a valid tactic, but one that can only be used once! :) : Or were you talking about Halo... Haha, yes. :) : If you were, I think the weakness in HP's arguments is that he focuses soley : on the immediate encounter and choice in considering how to maximize K/D. : There may be a greater risk to you now if you try to keep your teammate : alive, but it may be worth it if there's danger of losing a power weapon : or because the manpower disadvantage may be more deleterious to you down : the road. : And even considering only the immediate choice, you could certainly envision : a situation in which you rushed someone who just picked up rockets in : order to protect your two or three teammates who had their backs to him. : That choice certainly won't maximize your K/D, but it will help your team. That's a good point.
