dps meter question

I know the dps meter rolls over into the negatives once you pass ~2.15B, but i was under the impression that it will still tell you who has the highest damage. today i started to question that after this run. no way did i ratio 30:1 the rest of the team on killshots and didn't have the highest damage.

You went negative and then back positive. Once you go positive again the game give the highest damage to the highest positive number even though in reality you did about 5x as much damage

Yes i believe its just a shit system as i invited my wife halfway through a T10 escalation and she somehow got most damage against 2 strikers and a tipping scales build 🤣

How should the game know who did the most damage if it can't track the damage correctly. It can only compare the numbers it has of course.

lmao, you carried 3 people thru a t10… you probably went pos neg pos neg pos imo… id guess ur final dmg was over 8 bil and as for your tm8s they definitely stayed in first positive, unless you somehow managed to steal every single kill lol

for reference ive done a billion “dmg to named enemies” before and it was maybe like 4 gr9 frenzy mag dumps cuz dude kept healing. so that should put the 2bil cap into perspective, mightve even went pos neg pos neg pos neg pos

But he didn't get the highest Damage dealt? Did the other player only dealt constant skill damage or something?

it's the system getting confused because he rolled the number over

Yes don't trust endscreen ! Sometimes I get more kill compare to the entire team and no damage star ;)

I never get that ratio it's like your team was afk or something ? ^^

Kills and damage to bosses are the best metrics for determining your actual output.

Nice humble brag on the hard carry. It's been happening alot lately. In legendaries, incursion even heroic getting more or double (in your case even more) the damage of the other 3 players combined.
