Whats your opinion about K/D Ratio???

It's way overemphasized. K/D is a terrible reflection of skill in anything but TDM or KC or FFA modes. I used to be very good at ignoring it but now I've become obsessed, and my combination of using underpowered weapons and obsession with maintaining a k/d is hindering my enjoyment of the game right now ![]()

Lots of times i see alot of people raging thanks to the kd and sometimes i include myself... And this makes me wonder, why do people care to much just about a number, sometimes you don't even have fun because you worry to much about your k/d, you're afraid of not using different weapons just because they aren't the best weapons and they might affect your k/d. How does a little number makes people mad??
What are your opinions about this topic??
I guess it depends on your mindset. I feel I play the same way I would play if there wasn't a K/D stat, but I DEFINITELY like looking at the stat. If I happen to get a great K/D one game, I'll mention it to my friends for sure.
I personally liked blackops use of the score per minute(SPM) rating. It distinguishes the campers from the predators. i.e high K/D and low SPM= Camper.
It's a number wayyyy too many people put their entire life on.
My k/d is 1.013 but my spm is 300+
KDR determines the player's effectiveness in TDM (along with assists) and FFA, because that's the main objective. In other gametypes, KDR is a major distraction, when it comes to pursuing objectives.
IMO, the scoreboard should never show Kills and Deaths, when playing objective games like Domination, Kill Confirmed, etc.

This makes me a complete hypocrite, but I tend to judge the skill of people by their K/Ds. I don't trust high ones because I taught myself to always expect OP guns, stealth whoring, camping,etc from people with high ratios (usually above the 1.80 mark to me).
My K/D 2.864 for anybody wondering.
Well....i know ill probably get bashed for this....
if you worry about something as stupid as KDR then you really need to rethink your life.
i mean cmon....its just a number....do people really take this crap that serious?
i could care less about your dumb little kdr or mine...
its just a game...and thats how i play it!!

I definitely want K/D to stay in there, and I'd be pissed if they took it out, (I'm not even obsessive about K/D) but we do need all the objective stats added.
