[quote=548685]The assist system in tf2 is completely dumb, please don\'t think of it as a meaningful stat. 3 damage right before a kill > 90 damage someone else does earlier --- pretty silly if you ask me[/quote] how\'s that different from getting a kill off a 3 damage last hit, or getting said kill stolen when you did 200 damage to the guy? ka/d may not be great but I don\'t see why it\'s worse.
If we go further in pigeon-holing classes\' roles then I\'d say classes like scout, soldier, sniper and spy should still be based off k/d and dpm because they are supposed to be getting most of the picks and cleanup hits, heavy and demo be based off ka/d, damage and damage per heals but heavily biased towards the damage stats, since their role is more DOT than picks and as the most healed classes it\'s important to distinguish who does more with less, and the remaining classes with their own specific formulas as support classes.
(btw I think it could be interesting to use damage per heals based on heal % rather than total heals for a match since a player shouldn\'t be seen as \"sucking up heals\" when in fact their medic got out more healing overall.)
