Any decent PvP player knows this is an ignorant comment, not to mention blatantly wrong.
Is losing fun?
Is getting killed over and over again for the sake of other players' enjoyment fun?
I'm not an elitist, I'm not a "pro l33t hax" player, stats are a representation of actions in a game so basing a player's skill on the only factual evidence is only way to determine ones skill besides actually watching them play.
I'm not just talking about k/d either. Though it should be taken into consideration, so should win/loss, score per game average, kills per game avg, avg orbs dropped per game, and other stats that show a player's consistency throughout all games.
To say these stats "don't matter" is ignoring all their games averaged over their entire playtime, I don't see a more fair representation of a skill.

K/D does not matter as long as you are scoring more points than everyone else. Had the highest score without the best K/D quite a few times.
