Sometimes that makes me #1 in several stats. And sometimes not.

So please don't generalize that anyone at the top is just in it for themselves. It IS possible to work your *** off for the team and show up at the top.

That said, I don't care about votes. If I get one, great. If not, I generally get enough medals just playing the match.

I agree with this. I have seen a lot of ppl get top damage or healing while also completeing the objective.

Not always true,
Shadow PVP tanks are HIGHLY underrated- they can AOE drop the damage of nearby targets as much as 60% for 15 seconds, and yet none of this counts towards protection medals- only the bubbles and direct taunts. Broken IMO.

I usually end the game with top protection, top damage, and top objective but you know who gets the most mvp votes? The person with the lowest damage, healing, etc etc.

Do people purposely sort by stat and vote for the lowest rated player on the team? Why do they do this? It's not just one game, this happens almost all the time on my server.
think about it.....


got it yet......

yes?

no?


they vote for someone bad, someone who wont get any other votes. gives you a better chance of winning.

if you've stood out, why would you vote for another stand out? you could be bumping them ahead of you.

None of this counts! Only some of it!

Shadow tanks are squishy but mobile. They have a great spot.

I know this happens but it's just dumb. Just vote for whoever YOU think deserves that extra medal. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go shout into the wind lol.

It might be as simple as not being able to read the screen. I don't have access to the game right now, but as I recall, when you click a column header to sort, the first few details the lowest performers first. One more click sorts it from bottom to top. Anyone who hasn't caught on to this may be intending to vote for top (insert medal here) and is picking the lowest performers in that category.

Lately I don't give MVP votes so Mercs and Sorcerers, unless they're good players. I don't care how much damage you ramp up spamming your no-cooldown abilities from 30m away.

1) Be a jerk (arrogant) in ops chat, you will not get votes
2) Medals don't equate to contribution to winning the match. You can score 6 times in huttball, and end with 1 medal.
3) Be a jerk (arrogant) in ops chat, you will not get votes
4) Guildies vote for guildies, friends vote for friends
5) Be a jerk (arrogant) in ops chat, you will not get votes
6) Everybody loves healers, even if they pad their healing stats

oh...and most importantly

7) Be a jerk (arrogant) in ops chat, you will not get votes.


If you are willing to start a post about this, I have a suspicion you may want to look at points 1, 3, 5, and 7.
