I'm not disagreeing with your idea, I'm simply saying damage isn't always relative to your efficacy in a battle.

Someone once tried to use that against me, citing a Diamond player (Feast rank isn't much of a meter of ability, honestly) playing BRD - a job they don't normally play - vs my MCH, back in 3.x PvP. Though their numbers were very close to mine, I was the one with 10 kills to their 0. Sure, as a personal measure ofwhat you do/how well you do it, it might be nice, but the overall total is shown at the end of matches, as has been stated.

As a possible extreme, the last thing I'd want is a teammate taking an unnecessary risk in a close match simply out of trying to push their numbers. But again, that's an extreme case, though all too possible.
