Not gaining any favor points.

I've been playing since launch off and on, and while single player keeps track of my favor points, online hasn't kept my favor points updated since the second week of the game.   I've played about 30 games now online to the end, in both custom and panteon, and all I've gotten is about 450 favor points.  What is going on?

Same goes for a friend.

I have noticed that sometimes I get points and other times I do not, I think it may be related to the number of bots in the game or something but i am not sure.

Favour appears to be a bit screwed imo.

Playing a game last night, 4v4 I was on the losing team, so as you can expect not much favour would be given to me anyway.

What was annoying however is that out of all the players on my team, I killed the most heroes, I died the least, and I was said to be the best on my team (As said by the opposition!) and yet I got the lowest amount of favour. What gives?

bonus favor points are given to those who excel in each category, such as most kills, most gold earned, least deaths, etc.  Usually the players on the winning team net most of these categories, particularly kills and deaths, so since you weren't #1 you didn't get bonuses for them.  Most likely your teammates got awards for being #1 in a few categories, like citadel upgrades or reinforcements, so even though you played better than them since you still weren't #1 in the things you did well your favor suffered.

yep, mine is still broken as well. Sometimes it saves, sometimes it does not.

I had the same issue but then sometime last week it started to increment again.

That makes sense. What really annoyed me though is that we had two TBs on the team and both of them fed like hell (They had like 3x more deaths than me), and yet one of them got the award for most damage because he just kept on AOEing creeps. How you supposed to compete with that?

Mine is actually broken, as in going from 850 down to 35 favor points three times in a row.

And then after that having it get up there after a bunch more games and having it fall AGAIN.

Hopefully 1.1 will fix that.

I was stuck at 1950 favor points, but a couple of days ago it jumped up to 4650. What's interesting is that my stats suddenly unfroze and jumped forward as well, at around the same time.

Excellinging at the match can earn you more favor points even if you lose. Just had a game where I totally owned, but my team still couldn't quite keep up and we lost the game, but I got most favor points, even more than the winners! Here's a picture to prove it. As you can see I got 110 and the winners all got 75. I got all the awards except "structures" (and ofc "winner" :P).

more favor than winners

I have never seen it happen like that before. That's awesome.

Yep, I've been stuck at 630 favor for weeks.  I really wish they would fix it, it's demotivating me to play because I figure I'm not getting anything out of it.

Same thing here, my favour points froze a few days ago and are stuck at 210.
