Alliance War Scoring

TopCat74

Why are points not earned for defender kills?
Recent AW had 2 summoners with 71 defender kills between them. We had 3 BG clears, and we still lost. We were by far the better alliance. Scoring system in AW needs to be reworked so that the best alliance wins.

Defender Kills do count. But ONLY up to 3 of those kills per defender. (via the Attack Bonus category, up to 3 Bonus possible per node, if killed more than that you are at 0 bonus no matter how many more kills).

After 3 kills, teams know it doesn’t cost them anything else to use a nearly infinite amount of extra attempts at that champ. So nobody needs to worry about trying to KO that opponent on the very next (4th) attempt, or some small number more. They can just hack away at them without bothering with full health or boosts.

If attack bonus (kills) were expanded to more than 3, I’m sure that those 2 players defenders would not have been at 71 defensive kills if that were the case.
