Can someone tell me how the new ranking system determines your placing? Is it a combination of K/D ,distance traveled with RM/Tower or zone covered etc?Basically how involved you were in the match? I had one earlier where the bottom placed player had 13/5 while the top player only 2/1 .If how many kills you got does still count it has to be very minimal.
@OorWullie: I know that there is plenty of other ways to contribute but if someone goes 2 for 1 you would think that's more important then anything else then alone 3 or 4 to 1. I'm going to make an educated guess and say it's those that do mission objectives. Ie splat someone on the tower or Rainmaker. Also paint the most splat zone area. At least that's how I feel I've been number one on my team when I didn't think I would be.
@Spoony_Tech: Yep I think so.The thinking behind it might be to encourage those who only go for kills and make no real attempt to actually help the team achieve what it is they're trying to do.TC seems to be the worst for that,sometimes it feels like I'm the only one that knows what mode we're playing.Many times before I've come bottom with only a couple of kills and a lot of deaths but I know it was my tower riding that got us the victory.This new way seems to at least give you more credit for that.
@OorWullie: but the problem is without really knowing what everyone did it looks silly seeing someone go 2 for 1 and finish last when I know in the back of my mind that person help me ride that tower a little further or protected me a little better while holding the Rainmaker.

@OorWullie: If I avoid riding the tower, it's (EDIT) not that I forgot what mode we're playing, it's just that in most cases, riding the tower is a guaranteed splat. I'm sure most people are either waiting for the right time, or hoping someone else will do it.
@Spoony_Tech: Yep,it'd be great if they could add some extra stats,like your distance traveled on the tower or with RM,percentage of zone you covered compared to your teammates,crucial kills etc.Just a couple of extra numbers next to your K/D so you know how much a part you played in the victory or defeat.
For TC, I like to start getting the Tower moving, but if someone else jumps on with me, I usually jump off and go on ahead to try and take down as my enemies as I can. I usually sacrifice myself, but usually kill around two opponents in the process, so pretty good deal if you ask me. As long as we start with a good lead, 7/10 times you'll most likely win. Most TC matches don't end with a knockout, so I think starting with a strong, far, lead is your best chance at winning the match. But that's just me. Personally, I don't mind riding the Tower, but my play style is more "go on ahead and distract the other team!" So if someone else is willing to ride on the Tower, I let them.
I like to get on the tower early too,can make all the difference.It's those matches where you've just been splatted,there's only a few seconds on the clock and you watch the map in despair as your 3 teammates are just running around next to it without actually getting on it then by the time you get down there it's all over.I realise they're probably caught up in their own battles but still,it can be frustrating to watch haha

Fully agree! Especially when you're close to winning in overtime, and only one person on your team is still alive, and is swimming around fighting next to the tower. Forget the enemy, GET. ON. THE. TOWER! I think that's the most frustrating part about TC... Fighting the other team is important, but if there only a few more numbers to go, your best bet is to get on the tower and try to make it. Or at least get on the tower for a second and keep it from going back to the center until your team gets back and can help.
I usually like to bring a weapon that has Inkmines as I don't mind being the one to go on the tower, it helps protects you when someone tries to directly splat you as you'll either splat the person with your weapon or the Inkmine will take care of it for you. Though of course it won't block Blasters and such, but I usually have faith in my teammates that they'll try to protect me.
@Blue_Blur I will usually stay farther away and try to pick the enemy off of the tower, but if I have to then I will jump on it. Burst bombs do come in handy for it at least. @Iggly I absolutely hate facing blasters when on the tower haha.

If I'm not playing as a charger and the enemy hasn't got one then I do this but from experience of playing as and against good chargers this can lead to a lose right off the bat.
I played on another account yesterday for TC and was in a C+/B- group, went 24-5 and still lost! Simply could not believe how hard it actually is especially when 2 of your team don't get on the bloody tower!! lol
