Why make it a ratio at all? How does the # of deaths matter? Just make it # of points per match, or per minute.

Which of these is a better player?

Player A:
Receives 100 points for a successful hack. This is the only source of points the entire game. He hacks, succeeds, then guards the objective and no one ever comes to attack it. He never dies.
PDR=100

Player B:
Receives 100 points for a successful hack. This is the only source of points the entire game. He hacks, succeeds, then runs for the front lines of the battle and dies, over and over and over again for a total of 25 deaths during the match.
PDR=4

If you do it by total points or points per minute, these two players look the same on paper.

Although B died more, he was a more productive team player. Even if he died 25 times, that meant 25 times an enemy was busy killing him instead of capping an objective, while A was just sitting on his thumbs doing nothing useful for the rest of the map.

No system is perfect, but I'm not sure bringing # of deaths or kills into rankings is a useful metric in an objectives-based game.

Not really when you think about it ... some games have a limit on clone spawns ... if the players is attacking, then he just used up 25 clones and was infective with them. In a situation like this, rather then front line attack, the player should have chose another role such as staying back to hold the line, or if he has the skills, repair role, pilot vehicle, snipe, etc.

It might sound harsh, but you need to have some sort of point value per life ... I agree k/d ration shouldn't really be used cause there's lots of support actions you can do, but by being a ineffective player, your not helping your team ... if there's a time limit or spawn limit, you can actually hurt your team indirectly.

I would advocate a simple K(Kills)/A(Assists)/D(Death) ((K/A/D)) ratio myself. Showing the assists would encourage teamwork over trying to stay alive for as long as possible to get the most kills you can without dying.

Then logitics is still not counted and this is why a PDR would be good.

Hmm, good point. Could give Logi assists when they heal someone and that someone goes on to kill someone else?

Heck, could even just give them an assist for healing someone who has X amount damage... Provided that damage came from an enemy.

Why so complicated. Just a positive/negative ratio like I wrote above.

Maybe it could be just a ratio made out of kills, the amount of point earnings except of kills and deaths. Just simple

i like the idea of PDR but like some one said some peeps like to see the KDR

so instead of removing the KDR leave it and just add the PDR system the OP suggests in another column this way everyones happy

clicking on the PDR brings up the breakdown of how those points was erned (think this was mentioned by the OP too)

id would like to see how meny hacks assists i get per match or atleast how i got the majoity of the sp i made
