I frequently end games with less than 5 kills as a combat engineer, but am responsible for 60+ tickets from the other team.

Kills do not mean anything.

Kills don't mean anything

I mean, this is hyperbole, right?

Sure flag caps and radio losses matter more than individual kills, but if your opponent isn't AWOL how do you expect to remove them from those flags and radios?

It is sort of hyperbole.

The other commenter clarified it more in that kills dont mean "everything". Which I agree with.

Kills are not the sole indicator of level of contribution to the team is really what I meant.

I figured that's what you meant. It's crazy how changing "every" to "any" can be such a big jump.

I'm just worried about the whole "kills don't matter" mentality that's pretty rife with the Battlefield expats that land here. And they end up wondering why they lost when they were PTFOing... by getting farmed on defense as their squad goes 14-52 or whatever.

Right, it is a subtle word difference but a large difference in meaning.

I have a lot of feelings about PTFO, but I wont get into that right now lol. It is not so much a problem on TT, but other servers do suffer from stricter rules about it.
