    Re: Whats your opinion about K/D Ratio???

    This is an americanism, they I I could care less when they really mean I couldn't care less and its used so much they don't understand the difference.

     

    I've lost count the amount of arugements I've had on various forums for daring to corrrect them.

    Re: Whats your opinion about K/D Ratio???

    To piggy-back on other points, while I am always quick to reveal my horrid K/D, I must say that I have definitely learned that if I really, reeeallly cared, I could raise it much quicker than I am already. How? Simple: change my play-style. I run around a lot, especially in Domination, where it is easy for both sides to anticipate where the other one is or will be. Well, I could just go into hiding. I could use Domination, even KC to an extent as well, to just boost my K/D by ignoring the spirit of the game modes. I could pick a few guys off, hide, rinse, repeat, and all the while neglect the objectives. I don't and won't do it, but I am darn sure many others do. So at best, K/D is a convoluted stat that gets muddled each passing day at this point IMO.

    Re: Whats your opinion about K/D Ratio???

    It doesnt, for I have won matches for my team by getting the last objective and my kd is only .94 I could have a 1.0 or higher if I cared about it. Would not be hard to get that by ignoring the objective and just kill whoring for a stat that really does not matter once the console is turned off or a different game is played instead.

     

    So really k/dr is not that important to everyone that plays the game and no it is not a useful determiniation on how well or good they play the game. Since it is just the average k/d over a long period of time and not a daily or hourly k/d which would represent how they are playing for that day or time period. Averaged stats are useless to determine how well a player can do at any given point in time.

     

    Until they allow k/d and w/l to be filtered by all time/monthly/weekly/daily/hourly they will really mean nothing in the game and should not be held as high and important as so many people do all the time. Each time frame means completely different things. A person can have a low all time k/d or w/l but that does not make them a bad player, yet those that see that number think it does. An hourly or daily k/d or w/l are a better represntation of the players ability to play the game.

     

    Long-term averaged stats are not the best thing to try and judge another player by ever in any game.

    Re: Whats your opinion about K/D Ratio???

    Why do people bump 5 month old topics? But K/D does matter because if they're killing lots of people, those dead guys aren't taking your objectives. I kinda pride myself in my K/D because with all the kills I get, those are people who aren't any closer to taking a flag or winning the game.

    Re: Whats your opinion about K/D Ratio???

    k/d is only even closely remotely important in the tdm style games, in the objective games it means nothing. So of course with the fact that you mainly play tdm it would be more important to you.

     

    And there is a very simple way to deal with such kinds of players. Just set to avoid and leave the lobby and search for another. then you do not have to worry about being matched to them again and having them on your team.

    Re: Whats your opinion about K/D Ratio???

    I used to havea 3.7KD and now I only have a 3.3KD and I am a better player. That being said- KD is a good way to see HOW someone plays moreso than how GOOD they are. When I hada a3.7KD I camped more nad played FFA now I rush and Play Dom and my weekly everage is a 2.9

    Re: Whats your opinion about K/D Ratio???

    KD really doesn't tell you anything unless you look at weekly or monthly. In my opinion, a kd of 2.5+ while playing the obj. means that the player is good, while the same kd while camping means that they aren't all that good. If you really want to judge someone though, you should look at their gb stats if possible, since pubs are a joke. Any good player can run around in pubs and do good, even with a pistol.
