im pretty sure its just which ever player gained the most fire points within a 7 second window. certain special types of potgs like "sharpshooter" "shutdown" and "lifesaver" also make you more likely to get potg. but im not sure how these are weighed

After over 6 years of playing I somehow still assumed that damage assists are a thing but clearly not. The assist logic is surprisingly basic.

I'm always impressed by how polished these videos are. I don't know how you get visual representations that look *just* like the game, but it'll always be cool as hell.

this OW content is beyond everything we had before! I freaking love it! So many questions I had in the past got explained here! So good! Cant wait for you to cover OW2 stuff!

I wonder if the “logic” behind those characters not getting assists is that they “shouldn’t” be getting them. Meaning, the purpose of Lucio is to support, so it counts as an assist to encourage that behavior, as well as validate them in the statistics. Meanwhile Phara’s is supposed to vet elims herself, so she doesn’t need to be rewarded for assists. If that’s true, they should update Doomfist in OW2 to now show assists, because his focus as a character has shifted to tanking rather than killing

please keep doing these 😭 your voice is so passive and calming and the content of the video is always something fun to watch :) i know they may take time so don’t feel in a rush to pump out content and exhaust yourself but i just hope you know these are amazing

In fact, Doomfist can be in the killfeed as an "assistant". If Doomfist uses "Rocket punch" against Brigitte's "Shield bash" or Reinhardt's "Charge", both of them will "fall" to the ground in the same way as the result of charging Reinhardts from opposing teams. And if after that Doomfist's teammate kills the fallen Brigitte or Reinhardt, then Doomfist as an assistant will get into the killfeed along with the teammate who killed the enemy.
