how does kd work?

[ϟOven Mathematicsϟ]

when i play a match vs ai i can have a 60:3 or 20:5 or anything like that (ive never had higher deaths than kill but when i go into my profile it says 6.55 carrer average so does that mean 6 kills 55 deaths? can anyone expolain to me how to read kd?

That is most likely a percentage or form of. The same thing was used in WOT. I don't remember the math but basically the higher over 0 you are the better you are doing. If you get more kills than deaths, you will have a positive number. If you mostly die, you will have a negative number.

positive and negative as in itll show a - sign? so is my kd fine? cos i still dont get how it works

Dont they teach math in school nowadays?

20 kill 5 death -> 20/5 -> 4.0 K/D

10 kill 8 death -> 10/8 -> 1.25 K/D

1 kill 10 death -> 1/10 -> 0.1 K/D

total 31kill 23 death -> 31/23 -> 1.35 K/D

yeah im still not getting it (its been a long time since i did any math and when i did i used a calculator because i dont bother wasting time when i have an easier option on hand, a formula as to how to calculate the kd would be nice)

when you put a certain amount of hours in game, getting more kills and deaths, it gets hard to track as 109491 kills, 49203 deaths.
the division of kill by death is the easiest and most understandable method.

because, even if you sometimes has a great match that goes 30 kill 2 deaths, or sometimes when you get 1 kill 12 deaths, statistically wise, it always comes to middle, showing your average skill. aka, your K/D ratio.

yeah maybe for you but i still dont get it, im saying that having kills:deaths is far more understandable than putting it into some ?.? format

[EyeofHorus55]

Kills/Deaths = kdr (kill death RATIO)
A KD of 1 means you have the exact same number of kills and deaths. A KD greater than one mean you have more kills than deaths and a KD less than one means you have more deaths than kills (negative kd is a misnomer as this value will NEVER be negative).

and dont particualary care for kd but i just wanna know how exactly they calculate it and if theres a reverse calculation way where i take my kd and see what my actual kills and deaths are

soo what exactly would a 6.55 be?

[ϟOven Mathematicsϟ]

specifically the 55 becuase it confuses the hell out of me

Its not.
by KDR, you can simply look at the first digit and see how much kills you got over death.
like KDR 2.X means you simply killed twice as much as you died.
KDR 4.X means you killed 4 people when you died once.

if you just put as Kill : Death, sure it might look easier when you are pretty new to the game, like
32 : 11
but when you get over few hundred hours, its hard to track 193939 : 4242334
cuz you have to count the number of digits, then compare the top ones,

Your actual kills are listed in the profile section.

To get deaths you do:
Total Kills / Kill Death Ratio

you killed 655 guys while dying 100 times. -> 655/100 -> 6.55 KDR
