Ascension Questions and concerns
Let me get right into the matter I love the game mode but there are some things that are a bit perturbing about it.
-
Firstly: When multiple persons are capturing a relic why are the points given to the individual who first laid hands on it and not shared equally amongst all the persons who participated in its capturing? Why can't it be like this: --->One person capture-That person gets 3 points. -->Multiple persons capture- 3 points given to all person who helped. -->Or Multiple persons capture- 3 points given to the person who activated the capture first but 1.5 points given to any one who kicked in afterward. Seriously a number of times I've gazed at my score expecting a good number only to be astonished by seeing a 4 or a 1 staring me dead in the face is uncanny. the amount of helping out I do is honestly not worth it, and believe me, I do A LOT of helping out MOSTLY be cause I have no other choice when playing the game. which leads me to my next point.

Everyone is unnecessarily selfish: Now, this may not be the case for Ascension only. I've seen instances of this in a majority of recent games and I've realized that NO ONE WANTS TO CO-OPERATE! Everyone would rather wander the map INDIVIDUALLY trying to score kills. They're in it for the glory not for fun. But when one person wanders the map trying to score A POINT but ends up getting killed or when one person tries fighting for the most kills in the game it ends up bringing the team behind our opponents, but I understand the incentive they would have to do so which leads me to another point.

Supporting doesn't award points: In my personal experience with this game mode supports and tanks are the two best roles to play but there is no reward getting an assist. only for getting a kill. This is why there are so many assassins/ADC(which IMO have no place in a jungle like this) and whatevers trying to score for the kill and depriving others. And with a player like me who can't seem to get a break with landing a kill, you know where that gets me? 0/8/7 with only 1 point. ONE! And if I turn to playing a support it doesn't get any better. Just bump up the assists a bit more, but still the same amount of points. So why can't helping to get a kill award at least half a point? I understand that there is a point threshold and doing all this may very well speed up the game too much, but at its current state there's no reward for being a TEAM and instead, people would rather gather all the glory for themselves. I've tried sharing thoughts like "Peel for each other" but no one wants to listen. They just jump into a team fight one by one feeding the enemy points and such. At least bump up the point threshold to four or five hundred. That is IF you guys decide to take my opinions into consideration.

And finally, the health relics: Nothing too troubling about them I just think that their lanes should be widened a bit more so that it's easier to walk AROUND them instead of accidentally taking them.
And a PSA to anyone who've read this and may decide to play the game soon: STOP CHASING AFTER KILLS! If an enemy's low health and leaving you behind, leave them! More than likely they're gonna lead you into trap anyways and the kill only awards you 1 point. ONE! ONE MEASLY POINT! Besides you're better help securing a relic than you are dead. You know how many times I've seen a Kayne on the opposite side of the map, always away from the team and then bring up the score board only to see him 0/6/0???!!!!
Next, STAY WITH THE ASCENDED: And consequently those who are ascended, stay with your team. No one's invincible. No one's a god. Heck even when you're ascended you're still not a god. In my eye's you're even more vulnerable because everyone can see you no matter what and the enemy could just as easily lock you down and off you. Seriously guys, protect each other. Help each other. Peel for each other, not just the one who has the most kills, other's need the gold too or else they're just gonna end up feeding even more and bring the team down.
