I'm tired of Zeddy's fake score. Not funny.

25.5k with no trinkets at all.

My point has been proven. Thanks.

your enemy does matter, but you matter more. If you can't even hit a person while they're standing still (trust me, I've seen it), then you can't get high damage. Even if the enemy team sucks really hard, you won't be able to do much.

Kill someone using only an unheated 3* Rigadoon and proccing the stun 3 times in a row while balancing a tea cup on your nose with a jar of dirt tied to your left arm on a Saturday, but only when it's cloudy.

You know me well enough to know I'm no damageho Kraky :o It kind of just happened.

• Match duration. A match can end in ~3 minutes or 8. (~260%)
• Whether your opponent chooses to face you head-on with the knowledge that you'll probably win or not. (~300%)
• Your enemies being numerous. It's possible to have 4 opponents or 8. (~200%)
• Your allies not leeching damage. It's possible to have 3/4 allies or up to 7/8 (~235%).
• Your enemies having a lot of health. This requires them to have played LD enough to have heart trinkets, but not long enough to be close to your skill level. Health can be 15 pips or up to 39 (~260%)
• Your weapon and damage bonus being optimized to overkill enemies. (~140%)
• You not being dead. It's possible to be dead for about 20 seconds at a time. At the very you should be able to be alive for 15 after that. Provided you never die, your time alive increases by: (235%)
• If you have heart trinkets, you will survive twice as long. (200%)
• You being better than your opponent. If you're not better than your opponent, you can just whail at them with your Gran Faust and tank hits with your heart trinkets and die. The maths for this is a little fuzzy, but assuming an average match lasts 4 minutes and a typical 'good' score is 20k, that makes for 5k damage per minute, which means 4.6 kills per minute. If you're not better than your opponent, you'd on average kill one and die on the next one, giving you only the damage of ~1.5 kills as you spend the rest of the minute waiting to respawn. (300%)
• Auto-target increases your chance of hitting your opponent. Let's say double? (200%)
• If there's a hazebomber on the enemy team, you need UVs to pass through the haze. Otherwise he can protect himself and perhaps 1 other ally. This can be half the team. (200%)
• Having ASI on your weapon lets you hit first. I dunno how much this affects things honestly, but I have no trouble hitting things with my Gran Faust ASI low while my Triglav is impossible to hit things with so let's say (400%)

Total factor that has to do with skill: 235% x 300% = 705%
Total factor that has nothing at all to do with skill: 300% x 1000% x 200% x 235% x 260% x 140% x 200% x 200% x 200% x 400% = 1642368%

Well that's not so bad then. A skilled person should score 7 times more damage than a mediocre person! A crappy score is 4k and that means a really good score should be at 28k in the same match.

Meanwhile, I can arrange a shard bomb match and have opponents going guardian and wearing health trinkets for me. The total modifier for this was 3600% (2k in a usual shard bomb match versus 72k). Let's see how I achieved that.

I had no skill: 3600% / (100%) = 3600%
I had the minimum amount of oppponents: 3600% / 100% = 3600%
Shard bombs are weak, no overkill: 3600% / 100% = 3600%
My allies were not leeching damage: 3600% / 235% = 1532%
I had no heart trinkets: 1532% / 100% = 1532%
I had no auto-target: 1532% / 100% = 1532%
Match duration was 8 minutes: 1532% / 260% = 590%
No ASI: 590% / 100% = 590%
No enemy hazebomber: 590% / 200% = 295%
My opponents willingly faced me despite the certain knowledge they'd die: 295% / 300% = 98%

Close enough.
