K/D important?

As a clan and elite noob, is the K/D ratio actually important for anything other than assessing a player and bragging rights? My MW3 K/D is like .8 or something (haven't looked in a while), but that is because I spent quite a lot of time dying before I got any good at it. I am generally around 1.2-1.4 now, but it will be a while before my K/D catches up simply because of the size of those numbers.
Is this important for any game or clan formats? Just wondering if I should have another tag where my stats are more current and fresh, or if it doesn't matter.

We are not about that.

Unless your Slam. It's about winning not your KD. Trust me some games I look like I wear a helmet and some games I can hang with the big boys.

Sidenote: if this doesn't bring Suck/Good out hiding nothing wil.

K/D is nothing more than dick-swinging, IMO... W/L is more important...

wait... just... one... f___... second...


Having fun is more important. F___ the stats.


In terms of actually "assessing a player", I have noticed that BO2's Score-per-Minute is actually a pretty good reflection of how many times you're going to curse that player over the course of the match...

^ This!
Buahahaha!



...and, sorry for the double-post...

That's kind of what I figured; I just wanted to make sure there were no limitations put on my participation based on K/D.

I am seriously looking forward to a better W/L playing the objectives with the clan, rather than the usual unorganized chaos with randoms.

Our unorganized chaos is a helluva lot more fun.

k/d does not matter as long as you are PTFO. And if PTFO is TDM then yes it is important - just saying

Playing with fellow 30's, having fun and not whining through an entire match (though some is acceptable) is more important. Some games I hold my own, some games I don't. Playing and Winning as a team is more important (P/W ratio?).

If you play TDM with Migs it's more like BMFMS (Be Migs F*cking Meat Shield)

Sorry Tin I have a feeling this about to be Hijacked if Blackhawxx see's it.

Communication is the key to everything. There are times when it is all about PTFO and strategic communication to win the game and there are times when random bullshit is the key to having fun.

Yup... it's all about the PTFO... BBQWTFLOLNBCBVDs

6" = 1 KD point

I currently run a 1.02 KD

Then I have a .03 using that logic Dave. Thanks me and my pack of rolaids are going to sit in the corner and cry.

As far as I'm concerned as K/D ration means little in Domination, as long as you aren't recklessly running into the same trap over, and over.....and over again giving the other team scorestreaks. If you're getting your ass handed to you...try and stay with others in a support role instead of trying to be a hero. Maybe watch the flank of your top player so they can get their scorestreaks going.

That being said, the ability to put up impressive K/D #'s in a game many times if more about lag than skill. Just the other night I was playing with some 30's and in the first game our top player when about 50-5, and in the second game was about 5-15. Same lobby, many of the same players, I think it might have even been the same map.

You wanna piss off a 30? run too far trying to be a triple cap hero and flip the spawn on someone protecting a scorestreak.

I'm with Arcanix, SPM is a better way to size up a player. Everytime we get into the lobby what's the first thing we do? Look at the leaderboard and see where our team stands. If we fill up the top half, we're typically in for an awesome game.

The only time K/D matters, like Migs said, is in TDM. And who the hell plays that?


Of course I only say this because my K/D went to shit in BO2. If we were still in the MW3 era then I'd say K/D trumps all!

LOL just kidding of course


<----Which reminds me, I need to change my K/D

To many people on the PS3..... LAME, it sucks. In the evenings, 15 people will be on, and 12 of them are play TDM. How things have changed. When's that 720 coming out? DSYN still play DOM?

K/D matters to children, when they should be worring about chicks.

I do enjoy the 200 points to flip the spawn and/or triple cap from time to time. Totally agree that SPM matters a lot more.

why bird are you thinking of going over to DSYN? or getting an xbox? i don't get what you are trying to say about the ps3 side? do we play GW too much?

@Kamea - Late night is fine, DOM is preferred, GW is much better then HC TDM. When I get on after work, 90% of my FL is playing HC TDM, which I'm not down with. I was having some fun with the 720/DSYN comment.

ok got it, just needed to clarify buddy.

i totally agree with you bluehound000.

I play pretty much everything... yea i play hardcore tdm.. but i do also play dom .. always a good thing to switch up every now and then.. instead of playing the same ol.thing everyday..

I should have probably used purple font to show my sarcasm.

Same with me bird. I rarely will even bother to get on during the week cause all that are on are the HC players and my regular DOM buddies don't get on till after I'm in bed.

As for the K/D issue, it's not important, like many of you have said already. I have a decent K/D now and I could have a great K/D if I was play more defensively, But I prefer to run around like a chicken with my head cut off in the enemy spawn, which I'm sure irritates many of my teammates. For me the only stat I really care about is my SPM which is why I will cap as many enemy flags as I can cause I want those damn points!!

W/L is what its all about. I dont want to fuel the g/w debate but as soon we see 10 on im always down to break into two partys for dom. I think some times we get tunnel vision while playing.
