Why is damage so important in Lockdown?

Your Post) You asked a question and I responded. You then comment saying you dont mean your words literally. I tell you to fix and you are now saying that I think a question is a fact. What point am I exactly missing?
If youre going to say people act like that please be more specific. You are attacking everyone by saying 'people'

My Reply)That was post 46. Look back at it and it was YOUR post.
Alright and i misunderstood it. I said that already. Get over yourself.

Got ninja'd.
BTW, this is open discussion, not a private messaging.
Anyway,
BN isn't that complicated.
Just inferior to LD.
And people are used to solo killing everyone.

Steal Thunder?
/yaomingface Lightning Thief.
@Other: FINALLY. NOW we can move on.
Somebody discuss something, I already said constructive stuff earlier. Mesa just be the annoying little twerp who wanders the fourms again.
Aaaaahhh... Good times.

Attack mode, Metab-owait, wrong story.
*Ahem*
RA-SENGAN!

Don't you mean the character for 'mum' rather than little sister?
I'm not aware whether or not that counts as an insult. I tried 你爸 on google translate once and it didn't come up with anything.
Anyway, aren't we going massivley off topic now?

its legit
yer mom's would be like a serious insult
like what nick from l4d2 says: "Your mom's car."
it's quite similiar if ye say so
or did ye wanted 'nanny'? (i've gone overboard, and derailing the thread was awesome)

It's the natural lifespan of a thread. Constructive posts, followed by the inevitable person calling everyone else "annoying kids" every post, someone posting anime that confuses everyone, intense derailement and ofc "yer maw" insults.
This thread has lived a rich and happy life, we should be happy for it.

TROLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just love those people who only care about damage!:D less obstacle for me to capture a point :P now I can almost easily obtain a bombhead :D
And as for the question...
The reason to why they all act likes that is because they are noobs who love to constantly loss their cr :P
But seriously people, if you really wanna show off your "pro-ness" why don't you guys kill people on the point, it is far more challenging, plus you'll get score for defense...lol

You.
Sit tight, I'm saving a spirit bomb for you.
The next person here can take my Charged particle gun.
After that, I have a Little friend to show you.
EDIT: I just found something relevant to answer the OP's question.
Pinky: Durr, so what shuld we tri 2 do in lickdown bwane?
Brain: What should we do?

Inci just use ur divine avenger and pone kay'?
DA? Screw that, whip out the Suda!

OBJECTION! I... object! That was... objectionable!

Why Objection? That was one of my first matches as a Striker, 'dat weapon is clearly OP.
As is Hammer.
Srsly, I don't have two 5* damage trinkies, no heart pendants, no UVs and am rolling Vog Striker like a Hipster Ninja, with zero striker experience. I must have played less than a dozen matches, and can still get high/top damage as well as high/top caps and high/top defends. Imagine if I was good and used 'dat OP Suda~
o_o
Screw teethpicks, use 'dem stabbers and you'll RULE THE WORLD! Or at least be able to defend yourself against people while capping, s'what I do~

show off AT-WRH...
14k is your record and you claim to be good :D
go to US-server and see those guys ruling as hell without any UVs

tl;dr
You cant capture if you're dead.
How do you kill people? By dealing damage.
I'm late... am I?

Think the last damage I got in US server was around 10k while I was latent to the point of missing everyone. My point was that I'm not a striker, nor do I have OP gear, but can still get decent damage scores while focussing on caps.
Well, originally my point was "screw DA, get Suda!" but it evolved from that.

I honestly don't give two flying craps about damage in LD. I'm typically the Guardian you see with just an ASI Low DA going from point to point with 2-3 Striker Satellites buzzing around me under my shield. By the end I usually have anywhere from 5-10 caps depending on the length of the game. That's my trophy.

The point is that people treat damage like it's the only thing important in Lockdown. They sometimes just kill people to brawl and just go ahead and ignore the points.

@Dirtmaker
From what you said, this is a discussion. Hello, did you even bother reading that this is a place to discuss? Respect people's facts, ok? Anybody can join this

@Benightz:
I love that this discussion is about why people care so blindly about damage more than anythin' else, and you choose this thread to post your damage record~

...
I can't think of anything more destructively-badass than the Liger Zero Panzer.
So shut up and take the Hybrid Cannon.

I love all you forum people. Thinking you're all of high superiority, haha. I'm Dirtmaker, by the way. And if any of you have the common sense to re-read each and every comment, you'll see it is 1. None of your business. 2. A stupid misunderstood fight. 3. Hilarious.

Well, it is my business. They just were saying that they agreed with my opinion and you were going too far and getting stubborn over a word choice. We could have ended it a long time ago. Since you think it's so hilarious, then please stop.
So, are we done with this conversation since you love us so much? Now go make some dirt, Dirtmaker.

"Thinking you're all of high superiority"
"1. None of your business. 2. A stupid misunderstood fight."
I love how that's so ironic, My guts are literally all over the floor.
I laughed so hard I accidentally them up.
"3. Hilarious."
Refer to previous point.

Lol Dirt, you're still whining about that?
Can't you see that every person on this thread has moved on and is now talking about fun things again, like Suda, anime explosions, Benightz unintentional trolling and Cannons. Always with the cannons firing mini-cannons at cannon-related targets.
Get over it, dawg, nobody cares anymore :D

Just in case there's still confusion, here's an example:
OOO might say: "I accidentally the RSS".
Yes, I like to tell myself that it was all a big misunderstanding and quietly hope that they're not vindictively tearing bombers apart via attrition to slowly replace us by systematically buffing and creating a new line of swords that causes explosions and status effects with 700+ damage and makes us virtually obsolete, or worse yet, creating a magical, status-inflicting gun that expands, explodes and KBs everything in an entire room and can be fired at the rate of roughly ten million shots per bomb dropped.
Yes, they did it accidentally, as they'd never introduce bomb-like swords or bomb-like guns after saying that the RSS was too gun-like.
Yes. Accidentally.

Please, oh please, hide your stupidity on this thread, go lose your life on the other threads. Thank you!

See, now I'm glad I made this!
Time saved :D

Wow, ego much?
I've run out of badass explody-things to post about, considering the fact I can think of anything more awesom than a Burning Big bang, so we'll just settle for hilarity.

Icegill, I don't know about the earlier argument, but the only one here that looks bad right now is you.
Drop it. Seriously.

There are a ton of people who go into LD and just go for top damage every game without even bothering to cap, which is annoying when they are on your team.
That said, Damage is looked at mostly in LD because it shows you can defend yourself. Capping SHOULD be the most important thing done. but at the end of the day, even if you have 5+ caps but only 1-5k dmg it means you were probably dead more than you were alive, if you cant fight people WILL have something to say.
I have always and will always cap first.

5+ caps but only 1-5k dmg it means you were probably dead more than you were alive,
A few exceptions to this:
-Weaponless boost-cappers
-Bombers
-Trolls
-Point Recons
-Pure Support Guardians
Ofc, the reverse can be true as well; seen those types of people come out w/ 10k+ often enough~

my post is referring to strikers, obviously bombers are an exception and for the rest that you named, that more people being stupid on purpose. Support guardians should still have no problem putting up 5k dmg with caps.

3/5 of them can be strikers as well, is all I meant. My main bomber loadouts are all strikers, although I have taken to bringing a Hammer with me as well to poke anyone who gets shocked near my face.
For Guards I did mean pure support guards; like guard bombers or defensive shielders. Not tryin' to argue or anythin', just sayin' that there are some situations where you can get high caps/low damage and survive most/all of the match, while still being productive.
But your point remains true; with strikers this tends to be the case less often~
