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

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

1-If there are ways to pad this stat to MAKE you look like a slayer, the importance of the stat is greatly reduced.
''not all people with a high KDR are true slayers'' <=== you said it yourself.
Whats the point of having an 8 K-D ratio and getting dropped by a 1.5 K-D ratio player?
And for FORUM and Clan recruitment purposes,K-D ratio should not be more than a Promise the player makes of whats hes capable of, which as we know ,promises are easily broken....

2-My K-D ratio sucks but K-D is NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT STAT. WP gain and W-L ratio are more important in my opnion.
I dont have a high K-D ratio yet im a killer. My Regular scores being arounds 20-8 / 30-9 / 25-7 etc....

---

K-D ratio is a nice stat to have.
But dust has permitted it to be easy to manipulate for people who care for it, reducing GREATLY its value. Now, the only way i have to know if someone is good,is fighting them on the battlefield.
I have 8+ K-D ratio players dying to my scrambler rifle 10+ times per game and 1.5 K-D ratio players dominating games as killers....

Well I guess our opinions are relative to how good we both are then, in a game based on teamwork I'd want reliable slayers by my side, not gun ho cannon fodder.

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....

A player with HIGH SKILL and LOW KDR doesn't exist. Over time, every player that's good at this game will have a high KDR.
A player with LOW SKILL and LOW KDR is the majority. This is a player that, for whatever reason just isn't very good at this game, even after playing for a long time. Or a brand new player that doesn't know what he is doing.

So looking at players with low KDR, there is literally no case where you'd want them on your team. Statistically speaking, the odds of them making a solid contribution and extremely low. Sure, they may get lucky and have a really good round. But this would be highly unlikely.

So for everyone saying KDR doesn't matter, it does. If your KDR is high, you're either really good, or you're gaming the system to appear good. If your KDR is low, you are very inefficient at this game and are unlikely to make a solid contribution to the team.

There are no positives about having a low KDR! None!

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.

Correction your being a douche, im sure your an ok person.

heres my take on what u should be

logi = .70 any less is bad or 0 if all possible :P u need to be giving me ammo and leaving uplinks not killing >:(

I thought DCing midbattle had these results:

1. All kills and deaths to that point are recorded on your record
2. You lose all suits lost in the game to that point plus whatever you are presently wearing (if spawned)
3. You lose all vehicles lost and all presently deployed vehicles
4. You get no ISK or SP reward
5. The result of the game (win or lose) is not recorded on your record

When you see people leaving the battle near the end I don't think that helps their KDR. They either just got thrown into a nearly finished battle, or are protecting their W/L ratio. But maybe I'm wrong about this.

Aww muffin did you loose that one and resort to name calling? someone need a tissue?

Mine looks horrible, you have to look at it through a mirror or you turn to stone... But then again, i don't and didn't ever give a crap about my kd ratio, I'm super aggressive and stupid when it comes to getting into fights. I just play to get objectives and unless we're low on clones (when I'll try my best to survive) my KD ratio is the sacrificial goat for the win.

PC is nothing compared to corp battles and those are long gone, those were highly competitive.

heres my take on what u should be

logi = .70 any less is bad or 0 if all possible :P u need to be giving me ammo and leaving uplinks not killing >:(
assault = 1.5-1.6 if u are lower than that u need to rethink how u r playing the game
heavy = 1.5 any lower is a bad thing u need to survive for the team just to detour people
scout shotgun/mass driver = 1.0 its a hard job but u need to atleast have a kill for a kill u r key to flanking and taking out entire groups or disrupting the enemy
sniper = I could care less lol u never do anything to help the team

Really? Can anyone confirm this?
