do you guys keep track of your k/d ratio?

[Pizza]

I mean in this kind of team based game, it shouldn't matter much to you but i know some people care about those stats.

[Pegolini]

I always do. Gives me a personal goal to work towards while giving me a general idea of how well I'm doing.

[Netsa]

No, the game keeps track of it for me.

...Oh, you mean, do I regularly check it or care about it? I only really check it when I see someone on the forums bring it up. I try to keep it above 1 in each match, but that's usually not possible.

The worst thing about it for this game in particular is revives. If you die, even if someone revives you, it still counts as a death (I'm pretty sure it doesn't in other games). So let's say you're a Heavy and you got two halo Mediums around. You die, someone defibs, you immediately die again, the other guy defibs, you fight valiantly to defend the cashout and win, but then step on a mine and die. You actually just died 3 times without getting any kills, so the scoreboard says 0/3 and you look bad. I saw one guy rack up 17 deaths in 1 round that way and, without thinking, I immediately went "wow, this guy sucks."

I think a better scale of how you're doing are actually the Damage and Support scores. If you're doing googobs of damage and doing any of the number of things which raise Support, you're probably doing really good even if your kills are low and your deaths are high.

Nah. K/D isn't super important in an objective focused game.

[WarPigeon]

I agree with the posters above. If anything your win/loss ratio is more important. A high k/d ratio with a low win/loss ratio just shows that you are a frustrating teammate...

yeah its the most important stat in life if your k/d bad are you even human, you should have it in mind at all time !!! enjoy

[T0asty]

nah.
my 10k+ support covers that for me. :)

fr if you get revived, that shouldn't be a death

[Dhomochevsky]

i dont and no one should since its well documented that there are cheaters and closet cheaters that use aim assist.

[Metharius]

I litteraly couldn't care less.

[Keyros]

No i don't give a fuc*.
Because i play the finals for the fun.
I don't like try hard on this kind of game with ranked where peoples will just be toxic and search all the most cancer compositions.

You know the least important stat in this game is the KD, right? Chasing players to get the kill and loosing the objective is pathetic and it happens to most people. Now the WL stat can be a wild number depending on who you play with and who you play against.

[Marmelade137]

I play light in quick cash, I consider myself disposable.

[Anal Pacifier]

I wouldn't say that KDA doesn't matter. It's more of a personal goal to maintain a positive KDA, but it doesn't guarantee that you'll win games. Obviously, being able to win gunfights is helpful for defending the cashout. However, it should be common sense that focusing on the objective is more important than racking up kills to win matches. In my opinion, KDA matters, but only if you're using your skills strategically to defend or attack and secure a cashout, rather than just seeking out players to kill.

[Bing Chilling]

i don't really care personally.
i haven't checked it in a while.

i don't need a goal to keep playing a game i enjoy.

I dont care for it. Mostly because I'm a support medium, I spend time healing and reviving over getting the final blow on an enemy.
The stats that I care about is wins/losses being more than 33% (33% instead of 50% because its 3 teams).
That and also knowing within myself that I'm playing the objective and picking fights that are actually constructive. Nothing I hate more than fighting 200m away from the objective. What for? Waste of time, get on the cashout.
