Replace Average Kills/Assists Per Battle With K/D Ratio

As a recruiter, I would really like to know K/D ratios instead of average kills in battle.

 

Average kills/assists means nothing unless it’s really low. I have finished Sec Con battles without having killed anyone and having scored top of my team from capping beacons. 

 

Anyways, I hope we can at least add K/D ratio and K/Assist ratio. Thanks! 

This might hurt corp recruitment more than it helps. K/D is nice to show how good you are in fights, but not how good you are in the battle. You only see how good you kill, but not how good you play in a team or go for objectives.

I agree. Deaths don’t mean a whole lot in battles (aside from Capture the Beacons). You could die 5 times in a battle and get 15 or more kills, but it wouldn’t give an accurate representation of how good you are in the battle, as that is what matters.

I disagree with the topic as well, I think K/D would only make it feel more call of duty, and I would rather not.

Precisely why his KD isn’t even 1 (on the stats thing Kostyan showed).

KD is not important

I was being sarcastic, as he was the one making a forum topic to make it a big deal

K/D means nothing and it depends on the game style.

I’m usually the idiot who go in for the beacon even if the match is totally lost and I have no real chance to take it. Most of the times I’m die on it.
Why? Because I wanna win. I don’t care my K/D because if I just can turn 1 match form 100 with this, my W/L will be better :slight_smile:

If we start show the K/D, some pilots will start looking after it and the lost matches will become worst because they’ll start save their K/D stats.

So the idea is bad.

Gizmo basically sums it all up. 

 

Having a KD shown instead of Kills/battle will ruin a lot of games, as pilots will focus more on that, instead of winning.

Who cares how many kills you get in one life if you lose.

I would rather die 15 times in order to win than get 15 kills and never die but lose.

I would rather of K/D than average assists/kills. 

 

K/D means more than average per battle. 

Showing the deaths makes players less willing to take risks and that means less fun.

You say that because your numbers are probably very low.

 

Anyone with a good average K and A number will say no to this suggestion.

k/d is a step backwards. why do you think pilot rating was changed

Whilst I haven’t been playing SC that long, I’ve been online gaming long enough to form an opinion on the whole KDR argument.

 

From prior experience, I have never found KDR to be all that useful in terms of recruiting potential members into your group/clan/corporation/guild/etc. This is primarily because it is very easy to stat pad and promotes overly cautious gameplay (which is not constructive in a majority of game modes). Talking about SC specifically, it also promotes Vets flooding the areas otherwise inhabited by Noobies for the sole purpose of getting their “stats up”. This is turn, will turn a lot of new blood away as seldom will people login to a game just to face stupidly unfavorable odds every game.

 

Whilst the stat itself does have its uses, it is (unfortunately) used primarily for ego stroking, so on this basis I am personally glad that it is not used here.

 

A Player whom is willing to get their hands dirty and try for objectives is far more valuable than some stat padding/selfish egotist.
