Re: Meditation on the K/D ratio

In Response To: Meditation on the K/D ratio (geophf)


Actually, K/D ratio does matter, at least in Slayer gametypes. In Slayer, a player's K/D is the overall best measure of individual performance. After all, success in Slayer is largely defined by killing the enemy without feeding points to the enemy. Someone who contributes more points to their team than to the enemy team is doing better not just for himself, but also for his team. Going way negative just helps the other team. If winning is your top concern, it's better to have someone that goes 10-5 than someone who goes 20-25. Sure, the latter guy might be getting more points for your team, but he's giving the enemy even more points than that, hastening your team's defeat.

Now for objectives gametypes, K/D doesn't mean squat. A team can still rack up a ton of kills and everyone can go way positive, but they can still lose. Granted, more efficient killing of the enemy can help in acquiring your objective, but it doesn't guarantee victory. I've been in many games where one team does way better in terms of K/D but still lost.
