| Jul 11, 2013 at 10:20 | comment | added | brano88 | Also, to make things more confusing: What if 2 medics are healing a single heavy and none of them has activated kritz or ubercharge. Which one gets XP? :) | |
| Jul 11, 2013 at 3:07 | comment | added | Unionhawk♦ | It depends. I don't think there's a real "definition" (there probably is). I know medics get assists always, but, as you said, there are definitely times where other classes get the finishing 6 health, and it doesn't count, and other times where you chip 6 damage off and a spy gets a stab, and it counts. I'll look and see, but it does seem a tad random sometimes. | |
| Jul 11, 2013 at 0:32 | comment | added | childe | Because I remember taking a heavy down to 6 hp as a scout, then a pyro comes over and immolates him to death. The killfeed only shows the pyro getting credited the kill; no mention of any assists | |
