How Do You Score A Kill???

I took down a player by punching, no weapons (initial rush). One of my teammates put in one punch also, but I did all the rest, and a finisher as well.

I got 1 assist.

I did not get a kill or knock.

Why?

Why didn't I get the kill?

I did the most damage, and the finisher.

Can someone explain the rules for scoring?

    @MrGreenWithAGunThis is not a bug, the kill goes to the player that knocked the player, chances are, your teammate got the last punch on them even tho you did most of it, awarding them the kill. You must be the person to knock them in order to get the kill.

    Last % of damage gets the kill. Really incentivizes you to work hard when someone else shows up at the last minute and takes the glory without even breaking a sweat. Yet another reason why team-based games suck.

    Well, I am not sure about the last % damage, I kept hitting him and then finished him. He was knocked and I still hit him before I finished him.

    But I do think maybe my partner knocked him, it happened fast, so IDK.

    It should be the one who does the most damage to get the knock should be the one scoring the kill.

    @MrGreenWithAGun I disagree it should not be the most damage gets the kill. If that person didn't help, perhaps that opponent doesn't get knocked at all. Maybe you go down. What happens if you get a guy low but get knocked and a teammate comes and knocks that opponent? Should you get a kill even tho you got knocked?

    At the end of the day these things will balance out. You will get just as many low damage knocks as teammates who take them from you. I wouldn't sweat it. Actually you need to try for the ultimate 1 damage kill. I've had 2 kills, 3 damage before with a friend who went down to them.

    I played many games with registering over 2000 damage with just 1 or 2 kills while my teammates got 4 to 6 kills each with 600 damage. AND I've played games where I've got multiple kills with very little damage dealt. It happens. Its no big deal.
