There are exceptions
to his statement which makes the whole statement subjective and irrelevant. It's a single number that compares the OVERALL number of deaths to the OVERALL number of kills. It does not seperate between weapons, skill levels, compared latencies etc. It just generalises way too much to have an impact.
Let's have an example: My Girlfriend plays Dust with me. Usually we play together and she's riding the gunner on my LAV having an average of 6/1 and 12/1 at the end of the game. On the other hand she's not the best one at medium to close range gunfighting. Now what does her KDR say?
I bet you say: Nothing at all cause gunners don't count .. or snipers ... or pilots ... or Devs ... or Lampposts
How many people are counted into the relevant amount of examples then ? all good players have a high KD.
But not all High KD players are good.
Op, you're talking to a wall. People who play this game think "team work" will trump personal skill, even if that team is comprised of as s piking retards.
A team with the highest KD will be able to control the map easily. They'll be able to kill the entire enemy team with ease, while the **** poor, stupid enemy team will be looking at the re-spawn screen for most of the game. You can't win if you're dead.
To the person who said KD wont matter in the full game: Yea, you're wrong. High KD teams will be able to cap, and hold every territory they come across.
Just let the "KD doesn't matter" players keep thinking they way they are now/ They're failing in the beta, and they'll fail in the full game. You probably wont be seeing most of them in low, or null sec. Low KD teams will alos probably have a low Win/loss.

I do know that it's getting better, or I'm just sucking less but, KDR to me it isn't all that important when it comes down to the objective at hand. Winning the objective is my goal. Killed me ten times? Yay for you, here is a cookie and a card, but I'm still on the winning side. You're probably on the winning side because there are more smart, high KD players. There for, you are getting carried. Which means EVE players wont bother to hire them, unless they're desperate. |
