Why dont I get the kill if I down the Enemy ?
But I die and another team finish them off ? I always seem to down 2 out of the 3 enemies but die and the last guy is one shot and then another team one shots him and he gets 3 kills, is that fair ? ...

@johnmiceter because your game is over the moment your squad dies... You can't keep accumulating points after that
@twitchSeriel_FPSi understand that. But the other team shouldnt get 3kills for doing 20 damage or even 100 damage to 1 person because, I still think its fair that I or whoever downs them (even if they are eliminated) should get those kills.
- @johnmiceter you are eliminated already so I don't get why you would still get rewards.
- @Daze623 Because they are still essentially pre-death actions.
Many games factor in posthumous kills. Some even give bonuses for it. I feel particularly if you spectate until the fact then it should be rewarded.
Example... you knock someone, ring gets you. Then ring gets them or they bleed out. You deserve that kill.- @1ronKeys thats what i reckon also. I mean your the one that killed them, not the 3rd party team sweeping in to get a couple of shots on 1 weak guy.
- @Daze623 so should the enemy get those kills ? I dont think so. He should get that last kill and thats it.
I did kill those other 2 (because taking all their health off in a fight and they down, means i should get the kill) in my view, i should get those kills or noone at all should get them if they kill one person.

They still had a chance to get up. If your squad is wiped, thats it. They can still get revived or respawned, but you’re out of the picture and thats why you don’t get the credit for kill. You get the credit for downing them in killfeed but thats it.
It’s the same as if you go down, you leave but your team manages to get the win. You also feel that you should get that win in your stats? By the logic that you stated, I think you do even if you might contest my assumption.
The game already recognized that you were out of the picture, whether you are still observing or are in main lobby. @1ronKeys mentioned other games give posthumous kills, but those games are usually games where you respawn where there’s no ‘revive’ mechanics (usually... if they have it, that person bled out or got shot by someone else).
This thread is kinda like the ones saying ‘Why does teammate get the kill if he only did 1 shot while I had to do 99% of the dmg’ but in reverse XD. There ppl or I state ‘Without that 1% you wouldn’t have gotten anything so take it or leave it’
- @johnmiceter I am pretty sure they don't get the kills you downed. No one does, unless they get revived
- @twitchSeriel_FPS Ive gotten 3 kills that way, unless they have changed it recently ?
