KDR Logic Fail.

I've seen so many people who want to put themselves on a pedestal as a great pvp player because of a high kdr, in a single playlist, while putting others down with a higher overall kdr, and I don't get it. Examples: 'Your trials kd is negative, therefore your bad' meanwhile he's got a higher kdr in literally every other playlist, on all characters. 'Your kdr in rumble is worse than mine, git gud scrub' meanwhile his kdr is negative in everything else. 'You have a negative kdr in trials, therefore anything you say about crucible means nothing' meanwhile every kd, even overall kd is higher than theirs. 'I'm top 1% in assists per game, so I'm a better team mate than you, git gud scrub' meanwhile every kdr is negative These are all things I have seen people say to other players. The way I look at it, if you have an overall positive kdr, you're an asset to the team more often than not. In control this may not be the case, as a negative kd could have many captures which allow more team scoring, but hopefully you guys can see my point. Anyone else think it's ridiculous to find the one stat that you may excel at in order to trash talk others? Got any stories you'd like to share?

  • KD means NOTHING AT ALL. Not everyone is a sweaty tryhard all the time. Some people play for fun some games. I played rumble matches using nothing but sword hilt, surely that didnt help my ratio. I've had terrible matches where teammates are useless and the enemy is like a swat team. Hard to walk out of that with a positive kd. But I went unbroken 20.0 kd yesterday. My avg is 1.3 Some people don't understand that one could deliberately lower their KD. Or maybe someone USED to be terrible, got really good at crucible, but is still working on repairing the KD from the beginning. Some of us thought Thorn was lame too.
