I like that they have actually done elims and assists properly this time, elims I’m assuming is only final blows while assist is basically is what current elim stat is.

It’s probably the aggregate of defensive and offensive assists
Looking forward to seeing what new toxicity comes from this

Toxicity will always exist, I don’t see how adding a proper scoreboard is going to make it more toxic than it already is with the current system.

Oh toxicity will always exist. Instead of “why do
I have gold damage”, I think it will simply be replaced with “How are you doing only 6000 damage on Sojourn? For the love all that is holy, SWITCH you trash bag!!!”
I feel like the problem with the medal system is that it rewards the wrong behaviors.
The gold Moira DPSing getting 4 gold medals can’t understand that the team are losing because of her as the medal system says “good job”.
This doesn’t change that for me.

Damage isn’t an important stat, doesn’t matter if you have low damage but no kills. What you are talking about is no different from a sigma or hog asking why they have gold elims while just spamming at a choke.

I agree - I elaborated above.

Yeah, but for the people who understand how to look at stats it’s less frustrating when someone says something stupid because it should be clear for anyone who’s smart to see.

I don’t think it’s a question of being smart - I think it’s a question of understanding the game, which not everyone will put in the time to do.
Anyway, if 5v5 is more of a deathmatch style then this scoreboard will suffice.

A scoreboard will be nice to prove that I’m not a “DPS Moira” when the village idiot starts looking for teammates to blame.

I don’t think it will. People don’t know what to look for in a scoreboard.
If it showed whether you are above or below the healing rate you should be per 10 minutes, I think that would be more informative.
At the moment, it looks like a number with no context.

If an idiot types in chat “we’ve got a DPS Moira”, currently I can’t prove otherwise. With a scoreboard, the other people can see that I’ve got 999,999,999 healing and this idiot is just looking for someone to blame.

Well you won’t have 999,999,999 healing. It will just be a number with no context so the point is still valid.
You can call said person an “idiot” if you like but I don’t think the game gives you any indication of what is “good”.
So going back to my original point, I don’t think this scoreboard will fix the problems of the medal system.
The same people that don’t understand they are taking too much damage, won’t have a different opinion because they can see the healing number. The same DPS Moiras will still see higher numbers than their teammates and will still flex without understanding they are causing the downfall of the team.

Yeah, some sort of context would make it better. But a scoreboard is a good starting step and I’d prefer it to the current setup.

I just feel it’s a missed opportunity if this is the real scoreboard considering it’s literally the simplest thing they can show.
Yeah, I’m hoping they build on it. But at least I can disprove that my healing is higher than my damage or whatever nonsense is being thrown my way.

doesn’t show healing received, now that would be an interesting statistic.

Damage/healing per 10 is definitely more useful for sure.

Or even just a red, yellow green over the damage number showing how they are doing against the average for that rank for that hero
