Tragamite Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I am seeing less and less people voting for an MVP these days what gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergeanthawk Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Maybe people just aren't playing well enough to receive a vote. Sometimes when my PUG sucks terribly I do not give a vote to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KettleBelll Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Top dps should just get 8 extra comms, and do away with MVP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupidsyrup Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Top dps should just get 8 extra comms, and do away with MVP! DPS doesn't win a game when they can out heal your shots. Maybe we should do away with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeJagoff Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Top dps should just get 8 extra comms, and do away with MVP! think mvp should work this way, some kind of internal calculation, then just give an extra 8 comms to whatever player did the most overall, some combination of objectives/damage maybe healing/protection, but in a way that it won't gimp a mara/sniper who can't heal or taunt. Or to keep it simple, most kills, then a healer will always be mvp. But yeah, current system is pretty useless, an extra comm, most people not voting or voting for their buddies, really just a popularity contest, little more. I've had matches where I ignore objectives the entire time and just kill people, but somehow I get 3-4 mvp votes and I think, "lol wut?" that's while solo queuing too, so random strangers mvping some jagoff who ignores objectives and kills, but not mvping the top dps, heals, protection, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princz Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Ancient Hypergate.... Stealther guards pylon for the whole game ... no dps, no protection, no heal numbers His team is losing middle and losing on kills On last round stealth caps enemy pylon in last 20 secs and win game for his team.... How any system can calculate that and give him MVP? MVP is just fine as it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resiel Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 The only people still playing realized mvp votes are useless so they stopped voting. DLOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paitryn Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I vote for my healer (generally what wins the game for me) and for best damage if we win (and dont have a healer) and I didnt see the big contributor. (that guy that made the big play to win) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seireeni Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I always vote for the guy I have seen doing good job during the game. I don't care if he's the dps with the lowest damage: if he was the only one clever enough to try to kill the healers or saved the team with a ninjacap or kept the guard busy so I could ninjacap, I will vote for him/her.

Belly Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I usually go for top objectives or top healing (unless i'm healing, then I go top protection). Or if I see a big play, like defusing a bomb or preventing a cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tragamite Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 I tend to vote for tanks first cause they get no love usually. Second is good protection followed by healing deaths objectives offensive or defensive if they called out and we won. Damage is followed lastly by solo kills cause people who go out to get solo kills usually are not assisting the team. I wonder if there is a weight you can add to stats to get a calculated winner who gets it all, but I'd really rather people vote just seems like the match matters more that way.

Genttry Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Hope you roll republic and stay with them. This made me laugh, thanks! I tend to look to healing for MVP votes, and tank protection and objectives. I admit I'm very biased, but when I think of dps'ers, I picture players slobbering while they roll their foreheads across the keyboard and yell out " I just owned that sob lololo hahah I am da tuffest, baddest man on the field." However, I've also watched some bad a s s dps multi-task with CCs, playing objectives and peeling for their healers or others. While rare, when I see that kind of play I will vote for them straight away. If there were just more non-slobbering, forehead keyboard rolling DPS'ers....those dude and dudettes kick a s s!

SWEtree Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) *Reporting inc and numbers of inc in time to get backup as a defender *Protection (guard) *Good attitude in the chat *Assisting the healer(s) "stomping anyone who touches the healers" *Focusing on enemy healers and IGNORING spamhealed tanks *objectives My main is commando medic so ofc i mostly vote for the guard. I NEVER vote for ppl who attacks first red name they see ,usually a spamhealed tank, (usually top dmg player) Edited May 10, 2013 by SWEtree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcgregorya Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) I've had matches in 2.0 where no one broke 200k in heals or damage besides me. If that match isn't huttball and we lost horrifically, no one gets a vote - sorry (actually I'm not - come on). I had one match where I had 740k damage and 140k in heals (trickle self healing) and the next highest on my team was 180k damage with no healers. None of you fools get votes and I hate you all.

MotorCityMan Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 What a bunch of miserly babies. I always give an MVP vote, most of the time randomly. Help your faction get geared instead of being so busy being frustrated and trying to punish them for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a valid argument if your vote meant more than 1 singular commendation and 10 valor. Its not worth considering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dufox Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 This would be a valid argument if your vote meant more than 1 singular commendation and 10 valor. Its not worth considering i have 2 pieces of gear from that completely useless feature. i mvp the person i see trying to make a difference in a losing fight or when i see them do something that can be considered smart.

Kaerwolf Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) I am seeing less and less people voting for an MVP these days what gives? As stated numerous times before, MVP doesn't mean anything and is an entirely symbolic feature. Therefore, in a pug group you need to do something to earn my respect in the game to get my vote. Doing top dmg/healing is not good enough as it is too easy to get there and really doesn't say anything about how much he/she contributed to actually winning the game for their side. Highest objective score usually gets my vote if I give it to anyone but even that is not a 100% reliable score as the game doesn't reward active interrupts of planting a bomb/capturing a turret etc nearly enough for what it is actually worth for the teams chances of winning the game. Currently, I'd rather just skip the entire list of results at the end and exit immediately instead of having to wait for the mvps' to be cast before I can exit the WZ and que for another.
