Totally agree.
As a medicore player I get carried more often than I should. Having said that...
There have been plenty of games where I jump into action and come through in a clutch make or break moment. Revive of good player, taking out an opponent that is sneaking up on rest of squad, whatever.
You get jack for that. Not really right. It's not all about kills but it's what we all strive for. But, you're right, the team component is overlooked. Even if you don't have the most damage/kills the use of your abilities and the like may create those opportunities that can be exploited. That has value.
