IMO the second* most impactful factor determing honour pnts is kill streaks. Unfortunately theres a short lived timer causing the count to reset. Not sure how long but it feels like only 2? mins and then you restarted at zero. That reset's BS because it penalizes prudent play and encourages arcade like phantominyourface play. Id vote for no reset.
(*honour boosters of course double pnts)

Id vote for no reset. If it didn't reset, everyone would get Godlike and the whole streak idea would be meaningless. I think kill streak by definition in regards to the game means a streak of kills within a limited time frame. Should I be able to get a kill streak if I play one bot conservatively, but only get 3 kills in the entire game with that one bot? If the timer didn't reset, then that could be the case or another could get a streak of 10 bots which could cut into your honour points by getting a longer killing streak. I think the reset just makes it fair. |

100% agree, the kill count reset is garbage. Poorly thought out attempt to prevent camping but all it really does is take away from rewards of strategy, skill, and patience

Isnt it based on time between kills? Feels like as long as you get a kill every so many secs

I will admit it seems like the window did get more narrow. I get triples all the time, with some wrampages not all that uncommon, godlike is generally always a kill steal. But idk it doesn't really seem like a reward, just random chance. The stars happened to align. It has little to do with skill when it can take a whole minute just take a bot down.

But my point is as long as u stay in the same bot the kill streak should last as long as that bot |

Just remove the extra HP for killstreaks, imo. Makes no 「fluffernutter」ing sense, anyways.

TBH, this sounds like a rant saying "The way honor points are currently rewarded does not favor my play style, so it should be changed". A bit like, someone without healing bots complaining how healing gives too much honor points...

Definition of Streak from Cambridge:
streak noun [C] (SHORT PERIOD)
a short period of good or bad luck:
OP you are actually proposing to change kill streak to kill count. A kill streak is how "hot" a player's form in a short time.

There’s nothing quite like being so engrossed in something that you lose track of time and space, only to see “KILL” instead of “GOD LIKE”.....
Wait... What?...

Id vote for no reset. (*honour boosters of course double pnts) maybe they should make the first kill give you 1 minute to get another kill, the second 45 seconds, the third 30sec and after that 15 seconds. More kill streaks but makes it harder to get higher kill streaks. |

With everything going on in the game now, and the poor quality of gameplay due to lag and such....glad there are cooler heads out there pointing out other causes of War Robots becoming a trash pile...

Racking up kills in one bot irregardless of time does not satisfy the definition of short period of good or bad luck as quoted from the dictionary.. If your point is that you want it changed to kill count , I understand. However getting the Godlike after your 5th kill during the 9th minute is kind of ridiculous. |

I think it is fine the way it is. 2 kills in a row you get HP, 3, 4, 5, 6 so on you are gaining HP for a Kill streak.
Anytime and can be due to a number of things, you need to heal, there are no reds around, your weapons need to reload, you have a bot that needs to
recharge its ability, or bad news you have to spawn another, then the timer resets.
Should an Ares or a Leech or any bot that does, Hi! I'm here, you're dead and hides again deserve to have that Kill streak continued while they go back into hiding and wait
for their next kill.
Anytime you take yourself out of the battle it's done. Start again.
That's my take on it.
YMMV
Have a great day!!!!!!
