Well.. maybe the "WR" needs to be counted in differently than just a straight percentage in order to take this kind of behaviour into account? If you win, but you're a certain % below your expected dmg for the tank you're in at that tier, then maybe you don't get so many "wn8 points" vs. someone that went way over their expected rate, but still lost.

Except for the fact that Wn8 the way it is now encourages players to camp for stats and that affects the other players on the team by taking away a win they might have had. What do you mean "don't let it affect me?"... its not up to me to pick my teammates, MM does that

I never mentioned assisted dmg. Don't care. The point is that people DON'T HAVE TO WIN AT ALL TO GET A HIGHER WN8, and thus the current WN8 formula with hardly any weight on winning is flawed. It opens the game up for stat padders. They can simply let the whole team die off sitting in the back knowing they can cleanup the leftovers like a pet at Thanksgiving sitting under the table waiting for scraps. They don't win the game, but they get a few frags and a bunch of damage, which raises their WN8 even though they pissed off the other 80% of the people trying to win the game like they are supposed to.

This is the problem... DMG is too big of a chunk.--- whatever part of the formula is the largest is the part the trolls will concentrate on. If winning is <10% of the score, then why bother winning./

So what kind of weight does it carry? Is it like win in the top 10 and your stats get better Lose in the top 5 or so and still your stats get better (because you tried)

I have no idea how the WN8 formula works, but from what I've heard and found searching the web, it is mostly based on kills and damage dealt. I believe it needs to have win/loss factored in as well, and here's why: Mainly... The servers are full of stat padders that just want to get the best WN8 possible on their tank so they can sell their accounts (illegally) on Ebay and being able to claim they have "purple" stats in order to increase the value of the account being sold. To further these fools economic gain, they simply camp in the game, and don't try to win--- because winning doesn't matter to them. They are just farming damage for their stat padding. Camping almost always causes a loss for the team that is trying to play and have fun---not playing to line their pocket book. Comments?
