I am, not afraid to admit it either, sure as hell not one of the best players out there in dust just an slightly above average scrub.
Wouldn't even class myself as one of the better scouts in the game.
I'm that guy who takes a proto scout suit into the half of a battle everyone else has given up on and goes 30-17 like a fool.
Just a hard working scrub that tries his best in his role.
So are you?

I am average as well, keeping my KDR at 1 and win/loose at 1
First weapon I specialized in was the plasma canon, and now I am going for scout with scrambler pistol, I am picking everything that are not FoTM. Did try dropships for a time but that was too hardcore and isk costly for my taste. I have proto gal logi but very rarely use this, I find it too boring now that it has become FoTM. It was more challenging when everyone was running shield tanked cal logis. It was difficult keeping my KDR at 1 using a plasma canon as only weapon on my logi. |

Brave Sinboto, I'm afraid you are mistaken.
You're KDR ranks in the upper 26th percentile of Scout Community. Not to mention your lofty kill count, ranked in the upper 15th.
A claim of 'average' on your part is statistically unsound. You are a deadly Scout, like it or not :-) |

I'm by no means average in pub matches. I'm at least in fourth place most of the time and I rarely go negative.
PC is different. I suck in PC. Although, most of my matches were against TPs and Hell storm (or today's AE.)
BTW: The average KDR in most games is below 1. It was like .83 in MAG. BF3 KDRs were heavily skewed because of the revive system.

I don't know what average is. players better than me are above me and players worse than me are below me so in my mind I will always be "the middle" regardless of the middle's location.

I'd like to think that I'm good at what I do...i.e. avoid being slaughtered in CQC. I'm rarely at the top of the leaderboards (1,000+ WP is a good match for me, easier now that I've fitted a suit with uplinks) but that's due to the fact that I prefer to play defensively; I find the nearest node and will defend it the entire match, be it with a sniper rifle, the occasional Wiyrkomi swarm, scout suit with REs or a cheap AR suit. My gun game is weak, so I rely on the element of surprise to get my kills.
KDR has dropped by .5 following the move to scout/AR builds.
Life is killing me.

Interesting post, Sinboto... +1
I'm an average slayer...I can occasionally get a decent kill streak in but more often than not I'm even KDR or slightly underwater.
I knew that before I even started Dust though.
My number 1 goal is to be the best team mate possible and I pretty much focus my efforts on that. I take a lot of pride in kill assists, hacking, shielding hackers, or making a solo run to get an uplink down on our next objective, or flanking and disrupting enemies while our real slayers knock them down, and protecting our Logibro's so they can keep the machine going. Victory in the match is what I'm looking for.
No matter how rough some parts of the game are at the moment...I'm having a blast.

Well, I assess each battle and do the best that I can with my main fitting, which is Amarr Assault (Templar variant suit) with the Templar Laser rifle, until I decide to start using the advanced Amarr assault and fit an advanced LR with it.
I run with a squad when I can, but when not, I just try to find ways to use my weapon of choice to support my team by burning down weakened enemies, or singling out troublesome rambo's. I'm terribad at close-quarters combat. I just point my scrambler pistol at the baddie and hope for the best.
Whenever we're getting protostomped or just generally smacked around, I pull out a Baloch (Militia LAV) with a militia active scanner, and do my best to turn enemy players into proto-pancakes. Or at least annoy them enough to make them pull out Wyrkomi Swarms. Kek.

I would say I'm poor to below average, but I've only been doing this for about two weeks. I'm quite confused, however the more I play the more I get a sense for the game.
For a rookie, it's quite difficult to break into it all. There hasn't been one game where some player or groups of players know all the hidden spots and tricks for each map. I'm against people with huge dps, using massive weapons, big shield and armor tanks, and running around with skills that would take months to achieve. It's even more discouraging to realize that when I get those skills in the next few months, those players will be even greater skilled.
I refuse to buy AUR, as I think that's just a silly cash cow for CCP. I hope it's a trend that does not stay in online games... as paying to win is a joke to me.
With that said, I do have fun playing, but I think the game matching can be better done as it seems to randomly place teams with no skill balance. I'll play for a while more, but if I can't get over the rookie hump, then I think I'll pass on this one. |

With a KDR of 1.15 I'm clearly in the average group.
I'd like to think much of that is because of kbm, but really that's just an excuse.
On the bright side, I'm trending upwards.

I'd rather just pay for the game. I don't have a beef with "extra" pay only items, but only if it's for aesthetic purposes. Seems paying for better weapons, armor, items, and boosters to skills only unbalances the game. Why should someone be better just because they can afford to boost skills? It's not a good atmosphere for gaming. |

It's even more discouraging to realize that when I get those skills in the next few months, those players will be even greater skilled.
I refuse to buy AUR, as I think that's just a silly cash cow for CCP. I hope it's a trend that does not stay in online games... as paying to win is a joke to me.
With that said, I do have fun playing, but I think the game matching can be better done as it seems to randomly place teams with no skill balance. I'll play for a while more, but if I can't get over the rookie hump, then I think I'll pass on this one. Stock with it, that rookie hump does pass. And remember that your skillpoints go a lot further than the vet's and you are closing the gap on them with every match,as painful as that might be at times.

How else are ccp ment to make money on this game as whenever they make guns people cry out pay to win I'd rather just pay for the game. I don't have a beef with "extra" pay only items, but only if it's for aesthetic purposes. Seems paying for better weapons, armor, items, and boosters to skills only unbalances the game. Why should someone be better just because they can afford to boost skills? It's not a good atmosphere for gaming.
I don't think you are ever going to be truly satisfied in gaming unless you reside in some country where the state is so powerful that they decide to provide entertainment to it's oppressed populace for free.
This isn't Alice in Wonderland. Businesses have to make money.
I know plenty of people that are badass at this game that have never spent a dime. I'm average and I've spent a ton.

Hey, it gets better. You'll learn the tricks to doing well that aren't entirely obvious.
I don't know what you're specced into, but having a level one logi fit is really handy for farming SP. This also let's you learn some tactics that let you read the ebb and flow of the battle a little bit more. constantly having +x points pop up for support action means you are learning where to be in a fight. you can take those lessons and apply them to your slayer fits.
There is really no reason that anyone who uses a medium frame to not be able to run a standard level logi. Even if you're going for Assault you'll have all the pre-reqs for running a decent logi of that race. All you need to do is spec level one and toss some equipment on there. |

A mathematical interruption for all the "am I average/ am I not average" introspection:
When it comes to your kills, your KDR is a zero-sum game. For you to be doing well, someone else has to be doing not well. Or at least, not as well as you.
So if your KDR at the end of a game is >1.0, then you were "above average" for the players in that game. This is separate from your 1-16 ranking.

Vinsarrow wrote:Average is a illusion as well as the term normal
"Average" is mathematical term, but it's been bastardized by people of the internet who don't know what is means.
For those who don't know, average means the sum of everything in a variable divided by the number of numbers.
Sample: 3,3,3,3,3 3+3+3+3+3=15 15/5=3 The average is 3
Sample: 1,2,3,4,5 1+2+3+4+5=15 15/5=3 The average is 3
Sample: 3,6,7,23,8 3+6+7+23+8=47 47/5=9.4 The average is 9.4
You should have learned this in third grade.

Maybe average. I get my share of top 3 finishes, but as a lonewolf, I am usually on a team of randoms. My kdr is on the rise from the dark depths of my first couple months. I think a pro coach once said that you are only as good as your last game. That's why I always go to bed on a good one.
Whatever my skill level, probably hit my ceiling, being 40 and all. That's ok, as long as the bills are being paid, life is good.:-)
Great job, team. Head back to the MCC for debriefing and cocktails.

"Average" is not a subjective and/or opinionated word!
It's a mathematical word and the average KDR is less than one!

Based on my KDR, I am solidly below average.
Based on my typical ranking in matches and WP, I am about average.
In terms of my "leet" opponents in-game, my handicap of 2 standard or militia pistols, no aim assist, and using a standard scout suit 99% of the time, I would consider myself above-average.

100% scout that went from a .28 kd and dug my way out to a 1.70 kd and climbing with 20k + kills
people like us play with others and dont judge even when we get to the 30+ kills a game we invite all level of players to our squads and try to help them with usefull tips and tricks we dont let our ego get in the way of the fun were having while playing dust we dont pad our stats and kd and we dont run from 2 vs1 even against proto

I see people batting around KDR's but I think its a poor metric for determining player effectiveness / skill.
Is a scout below average because they went 9 / 10 in a domination where they cleared out every enemy spawn pad? Is a sniper 'uber leet' by going 15/0?
Are you comparing your KRD to people running full proto when you are rocking STD with a smattering of ADV modules? If so, why on earth would you do that?
Just figured people should think about this some. There are a bunch of factors that work against your KRD, things like choosing to use lower tier suits/modules, not having as many SP as proto players, etc. These are all things that reduce your KDR independant of your actual skill.

I bet you already know this because you play EVE, but the best way to do it in the game is by ISK efficiency. Since we don't have a stat for that in Dust (yet) we can't go by it.

[EDIT] slightly above a 2.0 K/D still somehow !
Lightning, umm just a note: Don't jump into a crowd of people when I'm on the field. Just sayin |
