K/D

Win/Loss is an even worse stat than Kill/Death. It is even more dependent on who your team is and who you are facing, and has a much smaller sample size than Kill/Death.

But the win/loss record would motivate people to play for the win, not for kills.

...

Do you just like to disagree, or do you actually think these things in your mind?

cmon, you of all people know how easy it is to kill turrets and breach a ball when a team is going 1462/33, and isnt so much as remembering the game has bots and turrets as they do nothing but kill farm.

the ball will literally drop, and will be at 1/3 health, before the kill-farmers even realize they have lost this game reguardless of their k/d. at this point, most kill-farmers will still just be collecting the harvest while their base is devoid of friendly turrets, bots, or pros.

Although generally, it is true that the higher k/d indicates a larger threat. An assassin going 0-1-6 generally can't even look after themselves when pushing lanes.

I don't think the KDR should be removed but the WLR should be added.
The stats are like looking at the back of a baseball card. I'd like to see everything.

I was responding with him talking about someone saying "I have a better K/D than you, therefore I am better than you." in mind.

But to go along with what you are saying, I am not sure that the representation of a K/D ratio is why people don't go for the objective. I'm sure your little team would definitely stop spawn camping and keeping the game going if W/L was the ratio and not K/D. Weren't you the guys who said you play this game to have fun, and you should be able to do what you want because you paid money for it? Yes, that was your little group of friends, so run along now.

I know we would endlessly camp YOUR spawn regardless of the stat that was tracked.

I have to stop giving people on my ignore list a chance...

How about just no W/L or K/D and just track something like turret kills and bot kills to know who was doing their job and who wasnt. Maybe with that system K/D could stay but i still think removing it would be nice.

Tell me what purpose this post serves? Besides underscoring your passive-aggressive attitude? Nobody gives a **** if I am on your ignore list or not. For another matter, what was the point of your little friend's post either?

In response to Zigzag, I think the more information the game keeps track of, the better. I think many rate stats would be interesting, like Turret Kills/Game, Kills/Minute, $ Earned/Game, Bot Kills/Game, etc. The problem is, people seem to like to point to ONE stat to determine who is helping the team or not, when it is not that simple. Additionally, there are many things that cannot be recorded efficiently as stats that go into how you are helping your team.

They could not be recorded at this time but I'm sure in some small patches they could implement things like that.

I personally never stay in on pubs very long since people tend to just leave after a match and we are stuck at 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 which the 4 on 4 is cool but I like full games.

I haven't done private matches because the only person I've played with enough to maybe do private matches would be Tom so stats like per game or win loss i think should stick in the locker room stats or make a leader board specifically for W/L all time and W/L for each specific map that would be cool instead of lifetime earnings.

Its all for the lols. More specifically at your expense.

Though, my question was legitimate. Sometimes I think you say stupid things for a reaction. And by sometimes I mean always.

please dont get this locked. i believe there is a PM function somewhere or another in which this can be continued.

SHOW YOUR HEART, I find you humorous. To think that you guys actually sit in party chat and laugh at my posts makes me giggle. Why would you bother wasting your time even talking about me? Well, I have a pretty good idea, but really the response is based in outright flaming about your personal lives, so I'll leave it out.

So, if I always say stupid things, that must mean that I'm wrong about the positions I take. And so when I have argued with members of your little crew, and they were saying that spawn camping is good, this game shouldn't be based on fun, and that you spent your money on this game so you should be able to play however you want, that means you guys were right? Good luck with that one.

Oh, and I believe I answered your question, you just blatantly chose to ignore it.

Oh come on. We haven't had a good old fashioned thread-locking in a while now.

Deadeye, Deadeye, Deadeye.

Man, it's like we can't have an intellegent discussion on these forums. *prepares flame shield*

tom i play with you a lot and my k/d is almost always high. but i dont play for my k/d i play for the team and you almost always need a slayer to control the other pros. its the same as having a support that always sits in the base beefing up turrets to kill bots and they end up going 0-0-0 that is their team role

I always disliked the fact that the game shows you your overall K/D Ratio. It always makes me feel bad that I can only kill a Pro 70% of the time.
