My guess it was intentional because it would make it a lot easier to T1 stuff. 

The original post was from December, and at that point we didn't got assists rewarded for a lot of events. I guess we should be happy that they trigger something at all.

Sure a "Assist counts as Kill" would be much appreciated. But considering how the rewards for vehicle destruction work at the moment, I guess this task isn't trivial.

@Tank2042Man The question is, who is assisting who. The guy that made the first 99% damage, or the one that made the last 1%.

It’s an FPS. Kills and deaths matter.

What about vehicles.  You only get an assist if youre the last to damage it.  If borg regens begins before the kill, assist isnt rewarded.   It takes 4 hits to destroy most vehicles.   If 4 people hit an infantry, dont all 4 get the assist? 

 

IMHO, if youre part of the kill, you should get an assist.    That being said, Killing Blow is over rated, unless youre playing the new Apex mode..

If no one would have interfered and stole your kill you would have it. You used the ammo. You got the hits and you get nothing but a bit of xp from a lame assist. It used to be that if you got even 1 point of damage it would count as 1xp per point and if you got over 75% of the damage it would count as kill toward the progression of your weapon and your statistics. This is why snipers and shotguns take extra long to max out.  "Boom" 75%+ dmg and before you can get another shot off "Assist!" pops up..... yay.
