I think it has a negative impact on the game. Many people quit playing and AFK after just dying 2 or times because they do not want to negatively impact their precious KDR. |

Totally agree, CoD nubs in the game just want that perfect K/D so get rid of it and force them to try to get points to get on leaderboard.

Or instead of removing it, which would make no sense BTW, we should have a points per death ratio.
I say it makes no sense because its just one metric to evaluating player skill. We should have many more metrics. Removing something that is a staple in fps games and is already programmed in would be a waste of time.

Don't get rid of it, but do keep it from being a primary metric. preferably by stuffing it in among lots of other data. |

Other possible metrics are kills per map, points per map, etc. More stats = good, less stats = bad.

Good corps don't care about kdr. They care about winning battles and supporting the team! Some of the highest kdr players i've met will let you get slaughtered as long as they're 21/0 smh?! The ones that get killed twice and the go snipe. If corps judge off of kdr it's possible that a good percentage of there players are not team players, and are b**** made at heart! If he won't take the loss with his comrades, he's s***! Don't care what his useless kdr is!!!

There should be congregate number of all stats to judge by as well as seperate stats for personal preference. Kdr doesn't make you the best swarmer, logi, or tanker. That's why dust is different!

In a game where deaths are bad and every death is a lost of ISK. Why remove the only stat that allows us to see how well we are doing with that. Kills = isk. Deaths = -isk

I agree with you. I do NOT advocate removing it. I think adding additional stats would be much more beneficial than removal of stats.
As I said previously, more = better. |

This is awesome! What you should see when you see the Show Information:
Name: Durza Wolfmord
Corp: The Unit 514
Alliance:
Time Active: 2 Weeks
Total SP: 700,000
KDR: 1. 65
APD (Average Points Before Death)- Only implement after people can't spam nanohives and uplinks
Meters Covered- You should see how much some people run after you hit them with a sniper rifle lmbo
Primary Role: (Used in the warbarge screen for when you want certain players, or maybe are recruiting as a Corp and the new player may not know how to answer. Time Active will also aid with this)

KDR Has never been a useful metric in Dust, to a Logi or anyone, not with the TTK being so low.
A better metric would be a ledger subtracting total fitting cost (in Isk) subtracted from the earnings of that match.
The most OP weapon on the Dust Battle Field:
One good logi, one rep tool, and a heavy.

In a balanced game revolving around killing your enemy and not getting killed by the enemy, KDR is a good way of measuring player skill, at least on a per match basis. However, Dust 514 is not balanced, and it does not revolve simply around killing. Therefore, KDR is a poor measure of player skill, even on a per match basis.
It's not useful and it should be removed.
What's the difference between an immobile Minmatar ship and a pile of garbage?
The pile of garbage is more lethal.

KDR is a ******** stat and should never be tracked in a FPS (IMO)
it just leads bad players, and some good ones to feel superior because they can lose a match without dieing
...Yeah, i use a heavy machine gun, and I think i do a Damn good job at it.

it would solve many problems with the game but I'm sure CCP is afraid of losing one of the few things that keep some of their player base coming back to this game.

I wouldn't remove it.
Instead, add more data such as:
Weapon most used.
Number of times leaving a match prematurely to number of matches completed.
Number of team kills.
Data that can give a recruiter a broader perspective of who they are accepting into their corp while also providing a measure of how players are doing in the game.
OK, CCP. When are knives finally going to be improved?

Remove all traces of K/D!
People just focus on it instead of stats that matter like Warpoints. If you have played Bad Company 2, you'd know that it never flaunt people's K/D. Instead it shows the points acquired in the scoreboard and after-battle screen so that is what people focus on and in turn they do more objective-play than killing. That is what dust should do. Flaunt warpoints! It needs to be in people's faces! Warpoints, warpoints, warpoints!!! |

This post got me thinking about KDR as a whole, so I made another post about overhauling KDR entirely.
I'd appreciate all your thoughts about this idea.

So, if player A goes 10/15 in a BPO and kills all players wearing proto gear, hacks some objectives, etc
vs
Player B goes 10/3 killing a bunch of noobs in starter fits or STD gear, careful to stay with the pack and not push the lines.

Or Player C, a (proper) Logi, goes 0 kills, 5 assists and 3 deaths while keeping his/her squad (and others) mostly healthy throughout the match and helping their team win? The K/D ratio is irrelevant for their contribution.
Or Player D, an AVer, goes 1 kill, 3 assists and 5 deaths while keeping HAVs, LAVs and DSs at bay and helping his/her team win their match by protecting capture points? Again, the K/D ratio is irrelevant for their contribution.

Exactly people! read these these two last posts. K/D is as useless as shooting a tank with a laser rifle at close range. |

Believe it or not, there is a common tactic throughout Eve Online in which capsuleers form fleets that strategically lose on purpose but make sure ahead of time that the opposing fleet loses a lot of ISK worth of expensive ships while keeping ISK loss on their side to a minimum. Attrition is a legitimate strategy.
