Re: Deaths?

In Response To: Deaths? (Wayward Spleen™)


: Deaths (actively giving the other team a point) doesn't seem to be weighted
: heavily enough, and I'll provide a few game stats to illustrate.
: (Og = other guy selected from my team for comparison)

: Game 1: Rating, Kills, Assists, Deaths, Spread.
: Me): 1644, 17, 5, 6, +11
: Og): 1551, 17, 3, 16, +1

: It would appear that giving the other team 6 points as opposed to 16 isn't
: weighted appropriately. +10 (more kills in spread), +2 more assists is
: only ~90 points worth of rating? I would respectfully disagree - it's the
: one thing that stood out like a sore thumb about the Arena math post -
: dying isn't punished enough/not-dying is not rewarded enough.

: Game 2: Rating, Kills, Assists, Deaths, Spread.
: Me): 1504, 13, 1, 4, +9
: Og): 1544, 15, 3, 11, +4

: Similar situation only this time, i did not lead in kills.

: Game 3: Rating, Kills, Assists, Deaths, Spread.

: Me): 1522, 15, 0, 4, +11
: Og): 1514, 12, 4, 8, +4

: I grant that I had zero assists in the match, however I maintain that a
: larger spread (or even least deaths by far) should have a much meatier
: rating attached to it as it is actively denying the other team points
: (through refusal to die).

: Thoughts?

I think that they gave deaths less weight to help prevent the "I'm gonna play really conservatively and not die so that I don't hurt my team." type of thinking. Basically, I think that the formula is set up so that people will be more aggressive and play to kill rather than play to not die. In essence, trying to help prevent the selfish gameplay mentality.

Of course, I didn't create the formula nor am I a Bungie employee, but these are just my observations from everything I've read so far.
