Added to my testing list for my next round of tests. It has never happened to me before, but I haven't played since the latest update. I'll come here when I have tested it out.
Update:
I realized that normal pull and dropping people with Darth Vader out of the level will most of the times not count as kill as well. It seems to be completely random.
You'll just get a "player damaged" and the battle point message for kill assist (not the actual kill assist message where you see the player's name!) and that's it.
No kill assist counting as kill, nothing. I think I noticed this also on other heros, but it's mainly Kylo Ren and Vader who just don't get the kill, even if you throw Vader's lightsword at the enemy before he falls out of the level. Very disappointing, especially Kylo's default pull originally got 10 dmg points because this happened in the past already and is supposed to score him a kill.
In conclusion: This issue from past versions is not fixed yet and will require a patch once more again, end of story.
And talking about the Harsh Pull damage increase, maybe the effect is active, maybe not. Impossible to see in a regular match. Will try a closed match with my friends to test this.
The only one who consistently won't get ledge kills is Vader with his Choke ability. Others will get it most of the time. The reason why sometimes fails to grant the kill is that they can touch something on they way down after you pull/push them so the game can't properly decide the exact reason why they fell off the map.
No Sir, that's not true. I also pulled people as Kylo Ren directly off ledges without them touching anything before and it didn't count as kill as well.
Play some HvH matches and test it.
