Ridiculous coin distribution. 6 coins. What more could I have done?

    IMG_5377.PNG !after how many months of events and the coin distribution algorithm is still a joke. The only way to get 9 or 10 coins is to play shooter and spam mines and firebombs.
    Seriously what more could I have done to single handedly win the game and I only get 6 coins? Not to mention the matchmaking. I'm using my best setup and still get matched with almost everyone 1000 higher in gear score.
    I just would like to know, what more could I have done to earn 10 coins?

    Kills do not account for anything in coin distribution.
    Its all about raw damage plus contribution from fire and support items.
    So your 20k damage would have been worth much less coins than the shooter with 40k plus fire contribution.
    I am not saying you could have done anything better, 8 kills out of 10 is amazing, and you clearly played a great role in winning the match.
    Speeder in TDM is very hard to maximize coins, but that said they excelled in CTF last week so its swings and roundabouts.

    Tell me about it. In other game speeder got 10 coins for less effort, but for me now only 9.
    Whythehellisthat?

    I played Speeder all last week, still didn’t get 10k pieces. This week is just a dead loss: 5 min games that only yield 2 coins. Waste of time.

    You get many kills cuz your gears allow you high change for KS (kill-stealing), your total damage falls below the average of your team. It's a team effort and you get to reap the fruit of their labor don't make you the best of the team.

    My original post was more of a rhetorical question, since I already know that damage is king.
    It is just odd, that a event in which the GOAL is to kill 10 boats the fastest doesn't give some type of benefit for actually killing boats.
    I'll be switching to shooter for the rest of the event to maximize coins.

    If I had 8 kills with a total of 5,000 damage, yes, you could say I was kill stealing. But I did the 2nd most damage on my team with 2 total weapons. In this specific battle, we most definitely would have lost without me going behind enemy lines and finishing off low health guys who retreated and started camping. Obviously this is not a 1vs5 game, it is a team effort, but the effort of one individual player to bring is 8 kills for their team should be more of a factor in coins rewards.

    Speeder and enfo are really not built for TDM. I always run my trusty shooter in TDM battles. 5* losses, 10* wins. None of that FB spamming, yellow-bellied stupidity. I fight my enemies honorably, face-to-face, to the death, with my Blast+Flare+Blast+Grenade+Grenade.

    I'm getting consistent 7 or 8 coin wins in my Enfo. Double blast and swift torp with a Tesla bolt chaser. And I will stand face to face and make my opponent eat every shot haha

    Easy is certainly relative... largely Depends on your GS and the matchups they give you.
