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:
All the true slayers in the game have a high KDR. But not all people with a high KDR are true slayers.

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!

Dont know, dont care.
I prefer W/L over K/D.

Posting in epeen/lack of epeen thread.

Mine is like 1.10 and quickly climbing. I am a good player but sadly at the beginning of chrome I got pubstomped... hard.

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.

So it all comes down to this, as you gain SP, upgrade skills, purchase new and better gear, you have no choice but to get better and get that K/D up! Unless of course you just suck that bad!

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 :-)

IF you pub stomp all day, you get a high padded KDR even in militia gear... The average FPS talent in pub's these day's is atrocious... Back in Chromosome we had some of the best FPS players from Mag, Soccom, CoD, Bf3...

Every pub match was what I see in PC matches against well known entities. The level of talent hanging around DUST pub's these day's is concerning... to the point where I often wonder if it's an actual human being behind the control's or an AI turned onto "idiot" setting.

Its so easy to get crazy high scores with very little death's, almost more then ever... just purely because the lack of competition. Often making the best slayer's left in the game be complacent and play with little to no effort.

Anyone PC'ing against decent competition will loose KDR, anyone pubbing mainly will gain drastic KDR.

Edit*When any slayer solo's instead of with "proto stomping buddies" they will get more kills because they don't have to share them... Hit and run tactic's are better as well as you don't have to risk your life to save your buddy much.

Play fw, it's more challenging on average and people really go at it, granted there's matches that are redline quick but people fight with way more gusto than regular pubs.

FW is far worse of a talent pool. This is well known as a better place then normal pub's to pad your KDR..

I play against proto squads all the time, plus I only like skirmish and am into the lore.

Also cubs and his beast squad play for caldari or amarr and running into them is fun.

Nah, your opinion is not fact, everytime I go into regular skirmish it's faceroll easy and boring.

In fw I continuously face proto or stacked proto teams and also our eve pilots are Minnie or gallente. People fight like madmen in fw most of the time, and im talking from experience not opinion, fw used to be as easy as you stated but it's way better now, granted theres easy as hell redline matches but far less than random pubs, again this from my experience not just my opinion based on how I feel.

If your basing skilled FPS players on proto suit's... then enough said.

kdr means literally nothing in this game, with controls out of wack and little to no balance between weapons and suits...

I used to have an 8 kd as a heavy in chrom.

Now I'm a 3.82 as a scout.... My kd dropped so hard as a scout lol

The turn acceleration is what I hate, but most of all the rendering issues and lag as f**k pc battles, even when its been a win I just cool so the other team lagged more and got random boots this time.
