Do you want me to lower the amount of points people get for kill assists from 5 to something else? 

Poll runs for 7 days.

no way, since they get so many points for assists, i get a greater number of dedicated medics, i dont care for rank anymore, the only thing im looking for is to up my kill count and kpd, which i have been thanks to more dedicated medics

If by "nerf" you mean reduce to a level that doesn't confer a substantial advantage on anyone playing the class, then yes.

Why can't I vote in the polls? Oh well, no, for the same reason as Erebus. Though I don't care at all about rank, I think it provides incentive for people to play medic.

Welcome to the forums!

Basically the current stat system is point based. If you kill someone, you take points from their score. If you are killed, the person who kills you takes points away from you. The higher you are in the points means the more points you stand to lose from lower ranked players.

Capping flags and capture points earn you 50 points plus another 25 for the entire team.

Kill assists earn you 5 points. Medics earn the most kill assist points.

Melee weapons earn you more points than HW guy gun points, for example.

That cover it?

I say no, and this whole thing seams kinda pointless. i was on last night changeing my class and still getting the kill assists. So why lower just for medics or at all 5 points seams like a nice round number.

I say no because If a medic is good enough to stay alive with their target they deserve it. Also, when you get those 500 kills needed do your points you receive for different guns increase?

yes after you get your 500 kills, you no longer get a fixed rate of points per kill but rather a rate based on how many more/less points the person you killed had

example:

you kill johndoe who had 5k more points than you, you would get more points for killing him than killing janedoe who had 5k points less than you, and there are point modifiers for the different weapons
