Here's a link to the original thread with an explanation of the bug demonstrated using Crypto.
I wanted to make a new thread to do a breakdown of a new video and explain what I think is happening, but first, a "new" bug.
How it works:
- Do damage to an enemy (assist credit timer starts)
- Down enemy BEFORE assist credit timer stops
- Scan downed enemy
- Kill downed enemy
- 0x assist credit
Scanning a downed enemy you did damage to removes the assist credit.
How it should work:
- Do damage to an enemy (assist credit timer starts)
- Down enemy BEFORE assist credit timer stops
- Scan downed enemy
- Kill downed enemy
- 1x assist credit
This video perfectly demonstrates the bug. Let's break it down.
Segment 1:
- (:55 - 1:00) I continuously scan Bangalore (SABRETOOTH_LTX34)
- (:58) I damage Bangalore
- (1:00) My teammate (inotaku11) downs Bangalore
- (1:14 - 1:29) I continuously scan Bangalore
- (1:29) I kill Bangalore (no assist credit)
- (1:39 - ?) I continuously scan Gibraltar (Deebunked)
- (2:01) My teammate (Sirasu_y08) downs Gibraltar
- (2:02 - ?) I continuously scan Gibraltar
Segment 2:
- (2:13) My teammate (Sirasu_y08) kills Gibraltar (Deebunked)
Note: Nothing else notable happens in this segment. I continued it to show that one of his teammates was still alive and that he wasn't revived and then killed as the last squad member.
Segment 3:
- (3:29) I EMP/scan Octane (EnviedUchiha) and EMP Pathfinder (TxrntPapi)
- (3:30 - 3:39) I continuously scan Octane
- (3:32) My teammate (Sirasu_y08) downs Octane
- (3:36) My teammate (inotaku11) downs Pathfinder
- (3:38) My teammate kills Pathfinder (assist credit)
- (3:50) I kill Wraith (Hellemental) (no assist credit for Octane)
Note: Nothing else notable happens in this segment. I continued it to show that we lived (hooray!) and that I got stuck in a corner.
Segment 4:
- (5:00 - ?) I continuously scan Pathfinder (xxryanxx3456)
- (5:01) My teammate (x_nancy) downs Pathfinder
- (5:13) My teammate kills Pathfinder (no assist credit)
- (5:32 - 5:37) I continuously scan Wraith (Gewniee)
- (5:39) My teammate (BravadoLBC) kills Wraith (assist credit)
You'll notice in all but the final kill (Segment 4 at 5:39) I did NOT receive assist credit. The difference? Wraith was the last squad member and died immediately.
My theory is that, in order to "fix" the former assist credit bug, they are blanket-removing assist credit on downed enemies if an ability "that places status effects" is used on them.
Fixed players getting assist credit by using abilities that place status effects (e.g. Crypto Drone, Revenant tactical etc) on enemies after they are knocked down.
Please do anything you can to bring awareness to this bug. While I assume this impacts other Legends, this makes Crypto virtually unplayable in ranked because you essentially can't use his abilities if you want to get points.
