I may be for assists. It just depends on how its implemented and how that affects the new system. Although it would be nice for some people to be recognized for their help to the team even without anything else involved.
Also with assists, if I and 2 other melee players along with 2 archers are attacking one enemy player, if all 5 of us land hits on that enemy player and I finish him off, do all 4 of the other players get assists as well? How would it work?
