Who cares about KDR? That doesn't win you battles. This is not CoD.  Its quite simple really. If our team gains control of the battlefield we win by MMC damage. Having player winning the engagements = high KDR = battlefield control. If our team doesn't have control of most of the objectives, but still has a bunch of good killers there will normally be a victory anyway due clononing the enemy. When a game is about to end, look up and see how many clones the losing team has left, I guarantee you that 90% of the time the losing team has the worst KDR.
Translated: I inflate my KDR killing fresh out of the academy kids with a stacked proto squad and ensure they'll never stick around because I think that an inflated KDR means I'm awesome.
If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.

So many petty People here. What I'm saying is that this goes for all shooters I've ever played, With a few exceptions and those are mostly a form of "capture the flag" game mode. If you start paying attentionton to the correlation between end game clone Count and winning/losing, you might learn something. It doesn't matter if its in the Academy or the two best corps in PC, the principle is the same. Some times I Wonder if People forgets that this is an F P S. Look it up.
Sometimes I wonder if people actually listen to themselves.
"derp a herp, I'm going to "help" some newbie play this game by inviting them to watch me an my friends work our very hardest to keep 10-16 other new players from ever playing it again! this is a great plan! I'm off to go drink some lead based paint, it help me think real good!"

in dust fighting a force of relatively equal force is rarer than finding a prototype commando.
You're either vastly outgunned/manned and stomped like a baby chick into a meat grinder, or you're fighting people so inept that they have to be in their first game out of the academy.
You think anyone learns from just watching you casually murder everything within 100 meters without breaking a sweat because you outgear them by a wide margin and can effectively say a fine "**** you!" to tactical gameplay!?
When I was learning, I was encouraged to take up a logistical role for a stint, so I would be useful to everyone else(since as you very well know, a new player's militia AR hit's like a spitball against your protosuit and their freebie suit is made of wet tissue paper) and would be forced to stick with everyone and learn proper tactics instead of wandering around, wondering how these guys are doing so well while I'm getting my face chewed off.

Ok, so tell that to the guys always crying about protostomping instead of the ones who try to help them.
Okay, since you're dumb as a stump(and I'm fairly certain I just pissed off stumps everywhere) he is not helping the problem nearly as much as you think he is. He is still stomping newbies, who will never play this game again. Now, if no new people play the game, it just becomes a circlejerk for bittervets until they finally get burned out, then the servers get shut down because no one is playing the game at all.
At the very best, this will slow the problem of this game having basically no retention of new players by a tiny bit(one or two players for every team he stomps out of the game, and even then, it's only until they're unlucky enough to be on the other team and he stomps them out too). but he's still stomping the god out of new players because there is no such thing as matchmaking in dust.
