1 thing doesn't tell the story. Sometimes it is those last 15 ticks of HP that are REALLY hard, other times you get a tripple kill on some third party with 1 lucky grenade.

@DrWizardoKnocks and assists are footnotes on the stats page in the bottom portion in small font.

What you all are saying would make sense if damage or knocks were prominent and KD was a footnote. Then that would reflect what Apex itself is all about.

  @MrGreenWithAGun Personally I care little for the kills as long as we make it out. Playing with the mindset that someone steals your kills just hurts yourself. I understand that Apex is focusing on kills and that yes, technically the stuff you said is showed poorly compared to it. I'd still say that you can choose what to take out from it.
  You have tha damage badges and the kill badges. so there are some things. Even respaws and having people alive at the end gets you badges as well.
