Re: Cant make any sense of combat/objective score placement

Thanks @The_Storm_Panda for asking this question, combat placement and objective placement seem to work in some sort of inexplicable way. I've had games where you join at the very end of the game don't even have time to fire a shot and yet seen both my combat and objective placement score to my shock say 27/39 for both. Its not just once I've had this happen it regularly gives you some mad scores when joining at the end of the game and done very little. Can someone explain how these are calculated because atm they just seem like some nonsense made up stat. The other day I came top of a GA leaderboard by about 10k+ points, I had 80 something odd eliminations some 15-20 were assists and the only death suffered was when I respawned manually to get Palpatine(this was a very unbalanced match found it very easy). The person closest to my elimination score had somewhere around the 30-40 mark. I had captured and defended every objective in this game and at times on my own. I remembered thinking before the game ended OK surely the stats have to say 1/40, 1/40, 1/40. Game ends it read 3/40, 3/40, 1/40.

Second couldnt have possibly had as many kills as the total eliminations was less than just the kills I had and they finished as a hero so must have died at least once. But 3rd combat placement with an 60+:1kd I thought wtf. So combat placement score can't possibly be to do with K/D. Perhaps combat placement is about total damage and they had been taking out vehicles all game long or something. Objective placement I couldn't understand either, it was on Kasshyyyk and during the MTT phase we finished with 100% MTT health, I personally was at the very front edge of the boundaries the entire time preventing the enemy from getting anywhere near at least two of the ion disruptors at any one time and then heading over and still covering the 3rd disruptor when necessary. Heading back and taking out anyone who had managed to grab a disruptor. 2nd phase I ended up at numerous times on my own around the objective of which I captured both and made a nest around them until my team were able to join me. Then phase 3 same again I moved in tactically taking out the opposition holding down the advance until rejoined by team mates pushing forward, I captured one objective built a nest and held it down. Then straight across the map to the rear fuel pipes and same again I personally captured the objective as a few team mates managed to rejoin me and pick up the stragglers. Then I held it down on my own on at least 3 occasions as it was recaptured by the defenders and I recaptured the objective on all 3 occasions. This is with Palpatine, so the area needs to be clear or you just get melted trying to capture the objective. Almost did on a few occasions. But apparently this was not 1/40 worthy. Yet I've had games where I finish 12th for example, and get objective placement of 1/40 and combat placement of 4/40 with not that many kills. I've also seen it say something like 25/40 when at the top of the board. It would be really nice if someone could explain how these work as it's very confusing and unclear.
