Kill opposing New Kid first, then he finishes mine, but it goes down as my defeat | Forums

[DreEfstathiou]

I have had this issue more than a few times - me and opposing player are both down to our last health bar, we both have characters attacking our respective new kids, my character kills his new kid (sometimes by as much as a clear 3-4 seconds), then his characters kill mine *after*, and it goes down as my defeat! It is so frustrating! Can anything be done?

Hi there! I can take a look into this for you, I just need a few questions answered for the report. What is your current in-game name and what device are you playing on?

It's not at all device specific, this is a general, known issue about the game. If one NK dies, you have about a 3 second window where if the other NK dies, the victory is given to the kid who should have lost.

This was made painfully clear in the challenge where NK life ticked down over time. Lost several games where I killed the enemy but the death clock took me out before the match ended. Counted as a loss.

I'll mention that in my report, camelchasers. Thanks for the details!

Yeah, quite a few people in the clan had this same issue. This is not pronounced in challenge mode. It should be easily reproducible. Get NK down to low value and then attack with marine Craig. At the same time, finish of the opponent's NK. Even if opponent's NK dies before yours, you will still get the loss. This is a real big which definitely needs fixing if you want people to take challenge mode seriously.
