    Healing also contributes. It is primarily damage and the killing blow that contributes otherwise.

    Agreed on damage -- I would like to see a source for your killing blow claim though? To me killing blows doesn't seem to weigh in any noticeable way.

    Well if they added a mechanic like that people would be stealing kills?

    Yup. That would make "kill sniping" way too OP. It's already abused to get achievements.

    @BowenQ you probably got more contribution because of yellow items that you used. The real question is why Ewiktus got 3 stars, because shooters don't have yellow items and he got less damage (and fewer kills) than the top shooter, which got 2 stars.

    Try reading your evidence of admission :) I'll help: "damage, healing and much more".

    Having said that, after 4k battles I still dont understand the logic behind Fixer stars. The games that give 3stars always come as a surprise and some of my 'best' games have gotten me 1star.
    In average I think Fixers are fairly good at farming stars, often getting 1 for defeats and almost always 2 for wins.

    You need to read it again. All it says is "ave contribution" this means damage. You cannot have an average healing when youre the only one

    Since you obviously don't get it, let me explain:

    Average contribution means average contribution. Not average damage. Damage is converted to some numerical value. So is healing, so are stuns, so is everything else that goes into contribution (note that noone knows exactly which things count, because the devs intentionally keep that secret). These are added up to form someone's contribution number. Then, the average is calculated of everyone's contribution number. Then, stars are calculated based on that. Like evidence in this very thread can show you, healing, yellow item use and another unknown thing can more than compensate for a lower damage output.

    since you seem to know everything about everything, riddle me this, why do I play a fixer 90% of the time and come out with 2 stars?
