    For the first match, I have no idea why that happened. I actually happened to me too a while ago.

    For the second match, it's probably because Avoilde was using an area-control weapon (the napalm launcher), which stopped the enemy from moving into certain places, thus it counting as more contribution according to the star system's secret sauce, giving him the extra star.

    Also, what quality your gear is, doesn't matter at all.

    As for the comment wrote by @disorder, I'm pretty sure kills don't make such a huge difference according to the star system.

    Also, note that stars are most likely floats while the calculation is done, or are set to some discrete limits. In the first match you could have gotten 1.49 and kosumic got 1.51 stars, meaning you both were really really close, but after rouding they turn to 1 and 2 (which seems unfair)..

    Also, we don't know the secret sauce of star calculation, but we can assume they are based of at least some of the following:
    • Total damage
    • Total healing
    • Damage assist (fire or frost)
    • Cooperation (ex: hitting the same dude everyone else is hitting)
    • Number of kills(? probably not, but ranked very low if it's included)

    According to @BITTERSTEEL (this is summarised answer) the stars depend on
    First one on victory
    Second on if u did double the AVG dmg and
    third on the on assist so there r no need to round of stars I think they r given on whole.

    Assist using naplam launcher can be true but first match is still a mystery.

    1 star is from victory. 1 star is from over average contribution and 1 star is two times over average contribution. So, if you do one point less than average and somebody else does one point more than average you are going to get different amount of stars. So yes, "rounding" matters.

    By any chance, does scouting/dodging shots count as at least a tiny bit of contribution?
    Because those are the main roles of a speeder imo.

    Because I have no idea what happened in that particular battle but I know how the system works so I can only give you generic answers about how the system works. There are more ways of contributing than just dealing damage, and he contributed more.

    Please explain this. I healed this defender from match start till the 5 minutes were up (we lost by timer). It allowed him to do a ton of damage, for which he gained 2 stars, and I gain 0. I'm so tired of this dumb system...

    (And if you're wondering, no I did not only heal the defender, I healed everyone. I just healed the defender most by far because he survived the longest.)
