That aside, though, and considering how implementing accolades and fixing things like netcode aren't likely to be part of the same job description, yes. I would very much like more acknowledgement for my endeavors than a simple, universal 200 credit bonus. I'm proud of every time I can make the MVP stats with Martial Art, but given how undervalued each individual accolade is, it's more dependent on everyone in the match not knowing how to land mid-airs or stay alive for prolonged periods of time than it is on my own impressive ability to melee people in almost any environment.

I had once racing to chase/intercept a capper to their base in Arx... using a Jugg, cut him/her off RIGHT WHEN the capper about to go to their flag, next to the gen entrance (front) capper was flying (low) towards flag from the right (bridge) to the flag, I enter from the front (mid field) toward my flag... speed air melee kill the capper! AND RETURN THE FLAG in the same time!!!!!! I was so cool, sooooo cool that the entire enemy team was giving me a fire works for my AWESOME DISPLAY of skill/dedication/persistence using a Jugg to intercept a light (YES, CQC)... ON ME... I was killed about 3 second after the flag return, of course... but none the less... it was the BEST AIR MELEE KILL EVER! I think melee accos should differ from ground, speed , Hi-speed (capper speed, like 150Mph kill, should also damage boost when speed after 100MPH), back, sticky(having a sticky on you, and still melee the guy to death), air, HI-air (we are talking about 2 of you falling from a tower, and you slashed the other guy to death in air WHILE FALLING to your doom; fall damage death have to follow, other wise it's counted as an air melee, and this acco ONLY can be earn WITH the air kill, seeing how air kill acco will be earned right after you make the kill, and Hi-air kill is earned AFTER DEATH) yeah!~ totally!~ that day... I would have earned (speed melee; any speed faster than 2X class running this is ADDED for melee acco, air melee; as long as you are off the ground this one replaces melee kill when you kill someone in air)
