Killfeed Assists [OUTDATED]

Рет қаралды 533,271

Күн бұрын

The killfeed in Overwatch has a few quirks when it comes to displaying assists. I go over the methods of earning assists, how they are ordered, and a few bugs with this system.
CORRECTION: Doomfist and Ashe can earn assists under specific conditions, as covered in this video: • [CORRECTION] Doomfist ...
UPDATE: The launch of Overwatch 2 has allowed more heroes to earn killfeed assists, meaning this video is no longer an all-inclusive list.

I'd love to see a video of you breaking down how POTG is precisely determined.

@sugarkrisp5199 Жыл бұрын

im pretty sure its just which ever player gained the most fire points within a 7 second window. certain special types of potgs like "sharpshooter" "shutdown" and "lifesaver" also make you more likely to get potg. but im not sure how these are weighed

@Michaela_ZC Жыл бұрын

I wonder if the “logic” behind those characters not getting assists is that they “shouldn’t” be getting them. Meaning, the purpose of Lucio is to support, so it counts as an assist to encourage that behavior, as well as validate them in the statistics. Meanwhile Phara’s is supposed to vet elims herself, so she doesn’t need to be rewarded for assists. If that’s true, they should update Doomfist in OW2 to now show assists, because his focus as a character has shifted to tanking rather than killing

@emergency.jergens Жыл бұрын

Symmetra was a support and her turrets never gave assists so there might be a “who cares” factor

@@sircobalt5099 with that you have to remember that Overwatch is made by lots of people after a long period of time.

In fact, Doomfist can be in the killfeed as an "assistant". If Doomfist uses "Rocket punch" against Brigitte's "Shield bash" or Reinhardt's "Charge", both of them will "fall" to the ground in the same way as the result of charging Reinhardts from opposing teams. And if after that Doomfist's teammate kills the fallen Brigitte or Reinhardt, then Doomfist as an assistant will get into the killfeed along with the teammate who killed the enemy.
