Arena Scoring...FAIL
I get it. Bungie wants to have Social and Ranked again, thats cool. But really? Arena is ranked with numbers that dont make sense? Sweet.
So, you get a higher score by getting more kills for the team and helping out. Okay. The more kills you get, the higher the score. The more assists you get, the higher the score. Okay.
Then tell me how this makes sense...
1585- 20 kills, 1 assist, 14 deaths
1487- 9 kills, 4 assists, 3 deaths
Now, I could be wrong, but I know Im not. The 9-4-3 needs to have a better score here, because a looooooooot of people care about KdR. And now, Bungie is tossing that 'need' out the window. Because the 20-14 is a KdR of 1.43 and the KdR of the 9-3 is 3. So tell me why the player with more than double the KdR gets less points (not to mention 4x the assists)?
And I know kids will come on here and say 'Id rather go 20-14.' Well, thats you. Tell you what, we can play a 1v1. You go 20-14 and Ill go 9-3. I will win EVERY TIME. So, with this, it means that the 9-3 contributes more to the team than the 20-14 player.
So basically, in order to get a good score in Arena, you have to rush out and get kills, which chances more death. But Bungie doesnt care about that, as long as you get as many kills as you can in the game.
So dumb.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MELTOR13 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] four oh won This post makes no sense. You're using hypotheticals. The original post stated that in a game of Slayer, one person went 20-14 and the other went 9-3. In a game to 50, the 20-14 guy contributed to 21 kills while dying 14 times (counting assists). The 9-3 guy contributed to 13 kills while dying 3 times (again, counting the assists). So while the 20-14 guy contributed to almost half his team's kills, while contributing to only a little over a fourth of the enemies score. The 9-3 guy contributed to only 13 kills (roughly a fourth of the team's goal), and yes, he only died 3 times. 3 deaths is almost a tenth of the enemies score. So far, one guy is doing alot more to help his team along than the other one. Take a guess at who it is. *Hint* It's the guy who has contributed to almost HALF of his teams kills. If you have 2 guys on your team who go 20-14, the score of the game will be 40-28 (and this isn't even counting assists). That means the other teammates only have to provide a measly 10 kills, while they can die 21 times, combined, to win the game. 9-3 teammates, while they don't die much, dont help out much to the overall kill count either. So if you want to have a high KD but like to lose, then by all means, yes, go 9-3 every game. Unless you've got somebody else going off (like your 20-14 friend), you're probably going to lose that game. But you cant go 20-14 unless I go 70-14. [/quote] WTF are you talking about. I'm talking about an actual game, not some BS 1v1 game you made up. When you've completed high school and learned how to read, come talk to me again. [/quote] If I dont die, you cant get kills. Its as simple as that.
