Statpadding scoreboard as support/recon
Why is it so easy to statpad the scoreboard as recon and support?
What is assault and engineer supposed to do to 'statpad' the scoreboard? The scoreboard is meaningless at this point.

- @doubleome Agreed! The other day I finished first in a match playing as Blasco with a 4-1 K/D. It was a conquest game on Redacted where we easily spawntrapped the enemy.
- @doubleome Im #1 on the scoreboard pretty much all the time. If you PTFO, capture and defend flags and get alot of kills, you will end up at the top regardless of a class you use. It's all about your style and gameplay.
- @doubleome how about playing the game? wild and daring take on things I know but maybe we all need to be a bit more daring these days
Getting a lot of kills or PTFO'ing can be done by any class, this isn't exclusive to assault and especially not true for engineer. So playing anything but assault or engineer just rewards you with more easy points.
Scoreboard should be an indication of skill it's a PVP game where people measure up against others, not something that tells you how best to abuse it to make it to the top.
Just saying that support and recon points are way too easy to get and are awarded way too much for how easy it is.
But somehow we need to grind the Battle pass ladder quickly ;P
But you're right getting spot assist is really helpful to land on the number 1 spot on the leaderboard, however during normal CQ ( except for redacted CQ) you won'T really see many spotters up there. Maybe in Rush oder Breakthrough but I think a teamwork assist shouldn't be nerfed.
- @doubleome I get what you’re saying, I had a buddy only spotting, had a Balsco rig and really focused on spotting and was #1 on the team. I play a lot as Falck as between dropping ammo and revives, you can get a really good score. I busted my rear end and he still had a higher score. It does help of course when you’re on flags capping and PTFO, capping has a massive multiplier compared to every other action. A revive has the same score as a kill. Dropping ammo will move me up by 10 places versus dropping meds, nobody runs to meds like they do ammo. Destroying a vehicle should be worth more, same as repairing. Assault has no clear path to scoring except kills. If score is important to you then you have limited paths to that.
The old systems where fine and simple imo.
Kills
PTFO
Those get you higher on the scoreboard, like what else is there to do in a Battlefield game? Anything deviating from this will and can never be balanced, cuz it can always be stat padded one way or another. You cannot statpad kills or objectives unless you are good.
@Ironhead841Blasco prolly the biggest offender, tugs, spawn beacon and jammer and see the points rack up
Recon Class has been like that pretty much since launch.
