Its more about getting fair and proportionate distribution of war points than it is about KDR, so its more about the war points, well to me at least. I don't think the OP meant it would affect KDR, just the points you get for war points and assists.
Your kills also count towards your skillpoint progression much more than an assist. So indirectly it has nothing to do with kdr but because the goal of the game is to make is and get sp it kind of boils down to getting craps points for assist when you do most the work. |

And as far as I can tell, WPs don't affect ISK or SP gains. It's what you did while you play. Regardless of whether I gain a large or small amount of WP, my ISK and SP rewards are pretty constant. I've played games where I've hacked a lot and got great WP, but my consistent IKS/SP gain. I've had games, more often than not, where I hardly hack anything and get around 200WP and still have about the same ISK/SP gains as usual.
Try going 10-1 without hacking and you'll see the amount kills add to your wallet and sp gain vs hacking and the other non kill related wp payouts. |

I spec AV so going 10-1 is most likely never going to happen for me, but thanks. |

How about u take the kill and divide it by how many people shot at it so say 1person shoots and kills they get 100 points 2 people do it they both get 50 so if a teammate saves u you both get points even if u did a good portion of the work and he did not everyone would be getting the same amount of points. |

How about each target being worth 100 points and is equally divided by everyone that is involved in that kill,
so 5 people bring someone down they each get 20 points
or another solution is everyone involved in the kill gets the full 100 points, so working as a team really pays off |

What a waste of limited resources. Not to mention the health bar is constantly moving up as well so damage would exceed 100%. If you want your kills stolen less just run solo. |

To those that say K/D ratio doesn't matter say that to the team that runs out of clones. As for OP he has a point, people should get points proportional to the amount of damage they dealt. I'd also like to see that design applied to hacks. At present if you start the hack you get 100 points if it goes through whereas if someone who invests SP in hacking starts a fraction of a second after you but contributes more to the hack they still only get partial points. |
