I know this isn't EVE. I am not stating that AV/vehicles are balanced. I understand there is a problem with AV. I understand that you think CCP doesn't listen or know how to balance things. I understand that you may believe that another patch may not come for a year. I know that the game has problems. I am not trying to say anything about balance, timely releases, quality of released content, competence of CCP or players or anything other than the following:
I play for fun and my KDR (0.65) doesn't matter to me at all. I am usually at least sixth in a line up of 32 on the WP screen and I use all advanced gear. KDR doesn't always reflect the worth of a player. My win/loss was close to 2.0 and I make ISK no problem. Point is that you should play the way you like and enjoy, don't let some number make you feel like you are bad, except for maybe your wallet.

Yes, PC is broken because of that. Every role should be needed to win and that is why I don't do PC. When real #logilove is needed in PC I will participate more. I stopped doing PC about three days after it was released because of this exact reason.

KDR is an indication of how good you are at staying alive, while still killing. The less you die, the better you can do your job. The more you kill, the easier you make your own job. The two go hand in hand.
Until battles become something like 256v256 with three consecutive battles one after the other, all results interconnected, then and only MAYBE then will numbers start to matter. Try-hard clans won't be able to field the same numbers and still retain their killing superiority before they get burned out by the number of matches and opponents they face.
IMO, Dust is the one game that has gotten closest to this scenario, where numbers CAN outfight skill. But still no go. Slayers are still the most valuable team asset any team can have.

Been playing for almost a year now and I have less than 4k kills and just over 5k deaths with a KDR of 0.65 and a win loss of around 1.5 (RR/CR/vehicles have dropped my w/l by about 0.6). Some games I don't even pull out a weapon and that doesn't make me a bad player. Staying alive and killing do go hand in hand but that doesn't always reflect the worth of the player while in a battle. I could lead a squad in every battle like in chrome and have a KDR of 2+ but I don't really want to. I could jump in a HAV and just ride around to pad my KDR but it isn't fun or just redline snipe and only make two kills with zero deaths but I'm not a coward or risk adverse. KDR doesn't really prove anything if the underlying stats that gave you that KDR aren't listed. I like to be in the middle of fights keeping a fat kid healed up and letting them kill for me, I am a support player and I am often one of the first to get dropped because I am pumping 100+HP/s into my fatty's armor pool.
