FORUMS_

k/d can be representative...but its too hard to tell. I've seen good players with around 1kdr to up to 2kdr. (generally speaking every player that has been 2.25kdr or higher I have played against has either sucked absolute balls or has 6player spawn killing going on).

I find that if you look at KDR and SPM together, and they are playing lone wolf...usually they are really really good, consistently top 3. I played one guy who had 500spm over 2k kills in tdm and was in top 1500 at the time I played him...and he had a 2.03KDR or something iirc. For the 4-5 games I played with him he Did VERY WELL and always had beyond 20 kills in TDM. (Only one of the games was below 25 kills iirc as well).

That doesn't happen often.

WIN/LOSS ratio's show how good you more the K/D!

not to be a dick but my k/d is 2 and my w/L is almost 2 aswell.

Yeah but if you spectate a match and join an unrecoverable match you're given the loss even you choose not to spawn.  I sometimes play Ground War and leave if I see my team I got assigned to a being totally clueless, usually this happens in Domination and I sometimes don't like playing that for Ground War dependong on the map as I'm usually soloing.  I've also left in I join a side that are winning by a huge margin because the game will be boring and if it gets too much for the opposition, the game will effectively soon enough.

Everyone gets it.  I probably got tons of losses today due to the same thing.  Then you have to find a new game and usually it joins one in progress that you're already losing.   So basically you have a good chance to get double losses.  

But all that said, W/L still means a lot.  Everyone gets it so the higher it is shows me that you can still win despite these type of losses.  

I have a cousin who has higher spm and k/d than me.   But he has a 31% w/l.   I have a 55% playing as lonewolf.   I know him and he never plays the objective and if he can't get his kills either, he dashes.   Anyone with a 31% w/l is dashing and not playing objectives.

A team is only as good as its weakest member.  Skill based matchmaking should be more like League play.  Just saying.  If they were to implement a similar Trueskill ranking system to that of Halo 3 then winning would be way more important than K/D or SPM.  And not only would it cut down the amount of quitters but it would separate the bad from the good.  Yes it can be exploited but if they put stuff like the banhammer in it could be the best thing for COD and help it continue and prosper.

Okay Mr. W/L does show skill.  Riddle me this, I boot up my xbox, start up black ops 2 select a game type to play and wait for it to match me into a game.  I get placed into an already in session game, alright thats fine, the game starts up and bam we're already losing 50 to 20, i try my hardest but the enemy team is already positioned so well and my team keeps dying... Alright thats fine, thats just one game.. I stay in the lobby cuz its a fresh start. Game starts, dang these guys are noobs, going 37 and 4. Game ends and I see the red letters of a lost game.. I'm like wtf?? Look at the scoreboard and my team has ALL gone negative, the bottom of my team is 3 and 20, 2 and 18, 5 and 16.. And this repeats all night long, both scenarios, over and over, and of course some games i do get good teammates and i do join fresh games, but a lot of times i have absolutely no control over how my team acts, i dont understand why i have to explain this to you a second time, if you scroll up you can see i said the same thing already... Or wait, you just dont get it... because you're one of the few people who gets EXTREMELY lucky and ALWAYS is on the team with no super noobs... Either that or you just like to say the opposite of everyone...

I would have agreed with you a year ago except for some reason this is a different game.  I hate losing.  This is a game I play for fun but I'm still very competitive.  I hate losing all the time even if I do well on my own.  I typically play lone wolf and its been that way since COD4 and this is the first game I haven't been able to maintain a positive W/L ratio and I've just stopped caring.
