I think it's hilarious how many people are saying that KDR means nothing.

All the true slayers in the game have a high KDR. All of them.
But not all people with a high KDR are true slayers. Red line snipers, boosters, people that disconnect before match end, etc, are the ones that have a high KDR but do not have the slayer skills up to back those numbers up.

Again:

So the next person to post 'my KDR sucks but it's a stat that doesn't matter anyway...' You're wrong.

Having said all that, if you're having a good time, regardless of how many clones you lose, that's all that matters!

This is very true, I hate when people says it means nothing. If you are playing ambush mostly and you have a bad k/d, then you are basically helping the other team more than your team by feeding them kills and your team deaths.
Medics are sort of a exception, but even they shouldn't be dieing THAT much a match.

Some perspective of varying opinions is sometimes good.

My low kdr over 21,000+ kills for instance reflects months of being a complete and utter FPS noob getting steamrolled by imps etc. while I learned how to play console games in Chromosome, crashing dropships, chasing tanks with swarms, running bpo suits to finance PC, going all 'leroy!!!" playing the objective and suicide hacking, experimenting with scouts, going all 'true logi' mode and holding reps on a heavy for hundreds of matchs that show me something like 1-3 on the top of the kill board, soloing and staying in matches against full top tier squads, going for weeks / months in which it was nothing but 10+ gruesome PC matches a day, etc. All of which lowers kdr as reflected in the game.

Never going to be 'the best' gun in the game, but kdr over the last 1000 kills would better reflect the pubstomping protobear ******* I am today :-)

Here's my reasoning, if I can take down two or three dudes without dying I'm a badass, but if I die trying to take out one dude, what does that really say? Oh so you can get 1500 - 2500 WP but come out with a negative K/D what does that prove? You just proved that you died more times than anyone else trying to get those WP! If I rank last on the leader board but have an awesome K/D, then I'm cool with that!!! Eventually my WP gain will catch up, and in most matches I come out with 500 - 1500 WP even if my team loses! that's something I can also be proud of! If you don't agree, just remember that I am MAD!!!
