Honest question. What do you do when the enemy team has completely dominated your team? They brought in a couple proto tanks and just rolled the map. You are redlined, all your team mates have resorted to sniping?

How do you remotely mantain a nearly 5k/d when this type of game occurs a decent amount?

Its matches like this, that I take a negative k/d hit on sometimes. I mean sure, I could just say screw it and hide in the MCC until the end, keep the death count low so it doesnt impact me much, but if im going to do that I might as well just quit.

Or is it simply a matter of this not occuring to you much, because you play with a corp that will field their own tanks to avoid such a situation?

It is impossible to maintain that type of K/D running only infantry unless~

1.) You Always run with a squad
2.) You hop into your squadmates tank
3.) You redline snipe whenever the enemy team is stomping yours
4.) You never play ambush let alone play it solo
5.) It isn't very hard to go 5-0 and call it quits and go hide.

For me, personally, if I join a redline game I drop three nanohives in the redzone, try to get a couple kills with my shotty, then snipe the match away with my heavy. Sometimes I'll actually try to slug it out, but usually if you're redlined it's because the enemy is very organized or your team is just the opposite (typically the latter)

A couple weeks ago I set myself the goal of 4.00 so I could good off with stuff that would lower my KDR... and it's been at 3.98 ALL WEEK!!! If only I used those OP weapons like the Duvole or a high SP shotty or a viziam, it would be at 5 right now.

I've got a point or two in most weapons because I like having options.... Anyway, used to have a 6.2 at the beginning of the build, it dropped to around 3.3 as heavies started becoming thick clusters in matches, then started to rise again as the heavies cleared out. Should be back up to a 4 by next week.

It all depends on your play style though. I'd be more impressed by somebody with a really high average warpoint per round than someone with a high K/D. Logi's are straight support characters, so I get more points from revives, resupplies, and mostly triaging, than from kills and usually die in fights caught with my pants down and repair tool out. A sniper tank having a 10:1 k/d is so painfully unimpressive I can't even put it into words. But an assault character being 10:1 is honky dory. Or whatever.

mikegunnz Pink Fluffy Bounty Hunterz 451	Posted - 2013.03.20 22:13:00 - [48] - Quote Generally, I totally agree that KDR is one major component in identifying skill. (but not the only, b/c it can always be manipulated to a degree, in any game) Why ask the KDR question in Dust, where KDR can be all over the place. It is HUGELY manipulated by factors like whether youre: A tanker A ground pounder (heavy vs other classes make a difference) A loner, or a squad player A sniper etc etc I mean, a high KDR will give you a "ballpark" idea about their skill, but you need to play with people to know if their good or not. I've seen players with a KDR in the 2 range that are better than others who are in the 5 range.

It is updating for corporations on the leaderboards though. I believe it got fixed recently, at least for me. Nope. Absolutely not fixed for Skirmish. Ambush K/D show but nothing in Skirmish. Or once in a while it does work for One Skirmish then defaults back to the CCP/Shanghai standard for software ... Broken. Which is actually worse because the Player suddenly believes it is working only to discover that the next dozen skirmishes made no difference. Well, they are consistent I must acknowledge that; Break something. Ignore all response from the Players. Never state whether the current situation is what was intended or simply Broken by their wildly successful group of Software Developers. Add to that the historical solution of never update the documentation to reflect the New Truth continuing let us flounder under the belief that Soon (bs) will finally arrive when it fact is never actually a single day closer.

It isn't very hard to go 5-0 and call it quits and go hide. 1) Yes, I always run with a squad from my corp, teamwork and moving together is always the key. 2) I don't like to be a gunner inside tanks, I avoid that at all cost because it's not fun. 3) I don't use Sniper Rifles. 4) I play ambush solo every now and then, I learn from my deaths, then I play better. I can finish with positive or negative KDR. 5) That's not my playstyle, I always go over 20 deaths with a range of 1-4 deaths, sometimes I finish with 0 deaths. Seriously, is that hard to believe that you can keep a high KDR playing as an Assault? if you have a decent build, and knows how to play and move, then of course that it's possible to have this kind of KDR, my corp leader has over 5 KDR and he runs full Assault too.

Sontie VENGEANCE FOR HIRE 160	Posted - 2013.03.21 01:47:00 - [59] - Quote back when I was still very new to this game, I was in PFBHz and when I rolled with a squad of them, I have an average match KDR of around 8-10 (23-2 was pretty typical). When I soloed it would be closer to 10-4. I am no longer with them or squad with people nearly that good and I've had to get a LOT better to get a KDR like with I was with them. TL;DR having a good squad means EVERYTHING.

Once you get past 10 it pretty much just means that all of you're opponents so far have sucked. 20-0? Okay, you're pretty good. 20-0 in a corp match? Damn bro.
