Balancing Destiny: The scoring system is Broken

In many game modes, extra points don't matter that much... But in rumble, players can win with 1-5 LESS kills than the person in second due to scoring issues. Let's talk about it.

    Are the bonuses the various subclasses get even balanced? I mean, it's significally easier to get multi kills - and as an outcome more bonus - on certain subclasses than others. So is that taken into consideration? I never play a defender titan in PvP so I'm not even sure how it works for them. Do they get + 25 while the bubble is up or something? There are many more pressing issues with this joke of a scoring system though. For instance, it always bothers me how a person who is hurting the team and most likely is losing us the match can top the scoreboard - just because he/she was willing to trade, either kills or objectives. The person who gets 4K points in control but is going negative was porbably giving away 5K points in the process. And that's the person they place first? Not that it matters, because the loot system is so messed up anyway but it doesnt exactly help these people change their behaviour - a behaviour that makes it painful for any sane person to play.

  • Erm, this is already addressed. If you want scoring with no skill-kill bonuses, play Inferno.

    • As I said in your comment section when this was first uploaded, this is an entirely unnecessary video. Absolutely no point in it. And nobody can deny that changing the scoring system is a ridiculous idea. I like you tashed, but sometimes you pull a Datto. Don't pull a Datto. #TitanMasterRace

      • Super and Heavy kills are game changing and should get more points. You've earned it putting in the base work to get yourself in that position of scoring more points.

        • You should rename ths series catering the crucible to mtashed's needs and nerfing things that kills him/makes him lose. Now you have some points in this one but i can't believe you're continuing it after the embarassment that was the first one. Making balancing vids when you don't even know the facts. Saying stromtrance lasts 25 seconds when the base duration is 16 seconds and transcendence allready got nerfed from 23 to 20 seconds. Also heavy is part of the game, regardless of what imaginary rules sweaty streamers want to impose on the crucible. If you let some guy get heavy and then run riot with a hmg you dun goofed.

          • Stop dying to his heavy, and use your abilities more effectively. Problem solved.

          • [i]Disclaimer: couldn't watch video while at work[/i] The problem with scoring stems from how it plays. Why should heavy kills award more points; isn't the strength the fact that you now have a power weapon? Why can quick killing special weapons score the same as a primary; shouldn't they score less? Then there is also: zone kill points, bonus for kills while having zones, assists, head shots, supers, melees, and grenades. Point is there are so many ways to score additional points that it would probably harm the player bass to take them out. Strong players will always do well, and sometimes that means they are not using all the tools the have. Sure a body sniper round with follow up shots got you a kill, but if the next guy domes you he should be awarded accordingly.

          • I agree. However, I believe rumble should be pure pvp like Unreal Tournament used to be. Most kills wins. Supers be damned.

          • Lol finally he got a chance to watch your video. You are using one of the most op combos in the game and then your crying about people having amazing games and not using op stuff should be rewarded.

              Played mtashed in rumble. The guy is legit. Granted he was running tlw 1000 yard but I was running Mida party crasher. It was an honor. Edit: what's up with mtashed getting hate? He does this as a career? Some jelly people up in this community.

              • It because of kill streaks, cross fire, super kills, etc. I'm sorry but the person that goes 18-0 should beat the person that goes 22-21. Ya he had 4 less kills but he had the way better game.

              • Mtash...please -blam!- off. When ever you want to get some views on a vid you show up here and thats it. You aren't apart of this community, not even in the slightest. You simply show up post your vid with whatever thing you happen to be crying about in that particular moment. Im sick and tired of youtubers who show up to try and tell us what's up. We don't want to be your trash can for you to throw your useless shit in.

                • Honestly, this is too true. I've had guys with negative KD's and 2 less kills than myself take a Rumble win from me to not only take a loss, but to also receive NOTHING after the match. It's crap and it needs to be addressed along with custom matches, lobbies or something to separate fireteams from individual players besides 3v3 and 6v6.

                • The scoring in rumble is a joke You can die 20 odd times and still win. Always thought that was dumb. Deaths should cost points.
