Value of Kill vs Rate of Killing

[Snowreap]

PotBS would also be more towards the middle.

this reminds me, in conjunction with this thread of a social problem: different players will value these things differently. some will believe that rate of killing is the most important metric, while others will claim that the quality/difficulty of your kills should be the most important metric.

if your game measures both (or attempts to), then this can put these two groups at each others' throats. even if your game doesn't try to measure both, the players will end up trying to do so anyway, and they'll still be at each others' throats.

so maybe the problem isn't worth thinking about.
