Also 1 more thing I'd like to point out, how would you know if your team mate didn't need help if you can't see their HP. Agree that. This belongs more like Wish list... thread but I wish that I can see my team mate HP on my HUD. Then I can decide more easily if that team mate is going to need help. Saves me from useless walking to there if that team mate still manages to destroy enemy - and another way round: I can get to there more quickly and for example defend beacon if team mate was taken out (if I see that friendly HP is going down and enemy HP does not).

Oh, I was thinking that pdb is the mix of plasma and db, mag and orkans.

Oh, OP, I believe you have an answer to the lack of discussion on kill stealing, we really do not care. Damage and beacons are what matter, , not who gets the last shot. That is unless you are trying to accomplish your kill x number of robots task. And it was just the answer I was hoping for, too!

I do not waste the last bit of Taran juice or another Aphid Salvo on a barely-there red. I would rather move on to the next target and ruin his day if I can. Usually I have a couple of blues following my rhino and I don't have to worry About getting shot in the back by a zombie red or a toaster boa. No serious player will care about any 'Kill Stealing"

Eh, I'm not worried about stats, only the gold at this point. let them eject. I'm moving on to their buddy next to them. I want the weaponless Carnage to watch his buddy die right in front of him, MWAHAHAHAHA (evil laugh)

OK, you miss your frilly stat and 5k silver.
If my opponent isn't dead yet, well they should be, so why not?
Kill Kill Kill!

I'm moving on to their buddy next to them. I want the weaponless Carnage to watch his buddy die right in front of him, MWAHAHAHAHA (evil laugh) Depends. With Aphids in particular. If its got like 2% health and I've got targets in range, I probably won't waste Aphids on it. I can get a lot more DMG and help the team a lot more by unloading on a nearby heavy. This has only bitten me in the 「bum-bum」 once, as I left a barely alive Stalker and he was somehow around 2 minutes later, taking beacons. If you've made someone into a toaster, I sometimes like to leave them as such just to see how long before they realize they are useless.

"RAMMING SPEED!!!!!" because if nothing else I'm an annoyance and a distraction and hopefully a meat shield even if only for a few more seconds.

If you've made someone into a toaster, I sometimes like to leave them as such just to see how long before they realize they are useless. If I am in my Aphid Patton, I leave them. If I am in another bot I will make the decision based on who else is within range and what weapons they are sporting. I got nailed by an Aphid stalker with only a sliver left once myself. He stuck around for a while, really good piloting. If there are multiple enemies around, I make the decision to take on the next healthiest bot and continue this progression. There might be 4-5 bots barely there when I am done. Easy mop-up and when they all die in quick succession then they have the slog back into battle. Gives some beacon breathing room.

"RAMMING SPEED!!!!!" because if nothing else I'm an annoyance and a distraction and hopefully a meat shield even if only for a few more seconds. Hear hear. I got the top blown off my Schutze while on the center beacon bridge in Canyon last night, and the fools left me alone. When one of my teammates started to do a tactical retreat back off the bridge, I simply camped in the enemy's fire until I died, and the teammate made it off alive. Not the moment the battle turned on, of course, but every little helps.

I reckon kill stealing only makes you look bad. When you look at the stats and see a guy hit 700k with 2 kills, and some nerd with 100k get 8 kills...
SHAME

I'm entirely fine with kill stealing or having kills stolen if the "thief" is doing it in a way that contributes to winning the game. That is, if I force a red behind cover and one of the other blues has a better angle from a support position, or is in a faster bot, and finishes off the red, I don't mind. If theres a blue that's following another blue around, but only firing when a red has reached minimal health, I'm not okay with that. In this case, the kill theif isn't contributing hardly anything to a blue victory.
