does k/d really matter in this game?

[girthquake]

I’m new to this game but I’ve been playing it like crazy. I’m usually not a fast paced shooter player but I love this one. My problem is I find myself going negative most games and have a cumulative .85 k/d. Being raised on b02 and stuff this bothers me as I normally have well over a 1.0 kd in games like this.

All that to say, does k/d really matter to people on this game or is it more team based. I feel as if i’m playing medium and i get 5 k and 8 d but i have 6 revives and a ton of support score then maybe it doesn’t? Idk what y’all think, i simply need to git gud cause sometimes my accuracy be kinda booty stank.

i think people should not care about k/d at all and should care more about just having fun and playing the game.

If you want to win get the cashout, sacrifice your life for it. Because in the end K/D doesn't matter if you lost in second place

[HungryHedgehog]

no, all that matters is the cash you make. ptfo

[mistadeez]

no, not on objective based games. If obj is to get most kills, then yes.....

its like all OBJ games, yes and no. If you have a high KD but you never sat on the obj , and didn't even kill people blatantly going to the obj then your KD is worthless especially if you lost. Likewise if you're 0.2 and you're never alive to defend the obj longer than 10 seconds then your KD matters in that situation. anything in between it doesn't matter. the OBJ matters.

Generally not, even if you are good. You're usually going to be fighting at least 2 or 3 folks. As long as you can 1v1 you'll be fine.

damn 0.85... maybe try plugging in a controller and triple your kd without having to learn how to hold a mouse

K/D obviously matters in ALL games and nything around 0.5+ k/d is fine because it means that you actually do something. A player that has 0.1 k/d is not really doing anything in teamfights, they die and force you to play with one man less. You can say that the player that dont have a high k/d can do the objective but that is impossible if the objective is not clear from threats.

Winning matters, having a solid KD will help with wins, but it isnt the determining factor of winning.

If your team wins and they are all 2-6 (probably wont happen but in theory) its still a win, and thats the point.

I would argue that K/D on its own is utterly meaningless in ANY game, period. That medium with 0.1k/d may have been the one holding the healbeam that enabled the heavy to go 13/0.

It's not that important, it's the team play that matters. I can win matches with a K/D of 0.5 or lower. The only difference is that with 4-5k combat score I have 12-15k support score, because I am a saport and help my team survive, sometimes at the cost of my life.

Remember, this is a team based game. You can run solo and play The Finals like in CoD or Quake, but you'll quickly realize that 1v3 is guaranteed death. So stay with your team and your survivability will increase and so will your K/D ratio.

So you will win if your whole team has 0.1 k/d and the other team got 1-3 k/d each? The TTK in this game is very fast if you can aim, go for the healer if he is a problem. Just throw a molo at the heavy and shot that big nerd in the head and he is dead. A healing beam means nothing if your damage output is equal to 0, the enemy will outdps the healing beam as they now have 1 more dps in this game with a very fast TTK. The healing beam might matter more in a game where everyone is good at the game, you are just dead if somebody shoots you and you can not defend yourself in 1v1.

Even in objective games, K/D ratio matters. If you lose all your 1v1 or can't at least survive them, you leave the team with one less member against the other team and force them to babysit you, so they can't leave you alone for more than a few seconds. If I kill lots of players, they can't capture or contest objective, so it's usefull in its own way.

Obviously you should never play for K/D. Risking dying for the cashpoint is mandatory. If you're in the last seconds, sometimes you have to jump on it and pray your mate will cover you long enough. If your mate is capturing, you shoundn't hesitate to eat bullets instead of him.

0.85 is fine I guess, It means you are at least carrying your own weight, and probably contribute to the objective. In lots of situations you'll get KS (because high TTK) or ganked, so it's harder to have positive K/D ratio.

I'll argue that above 0.5, you are still usefull to the team. Anyone below 0.5 general ratio is unable to adapt to the gameplay, and actively draging the whole team down. Unless they have like 12K support point and 2k objective of course, but that's usually not the case.
