Devs need to SCRAP K/D Ratios

Unless you have negative kills that's pretty difficult. :lol:

I actually meant positive this time around since you cannot have a negative K/D ratio.

They do need to shift the balance over a more broad spectrum of statistics rather than just kills imo.

Hmm, so K/D is Kill/Deaths, so there's either negative kills or negative deaths.

This is why I don't play a lot of competitive games, in FPS theres campers, in fighting games there are turtlers, in RTS there are people who rush. In each game, it seems the more likely way to get a win, but its played in such a specific way, that it takes away everything I find fun with the game, though rushing in an RTS is the opposite of turtling in a way, they are both things I consider to make each genre more boring.

For example, I like base building in RTS, but some people (depending on the RTS) just build like 30 barracks and maybe a couple unit upgrade structures, and do non-stop rushing, using all resources just to make units. Turtlers sit in a corner waiting, there are a ton of ways to punish them, but when you end up having to use the same ones over and over it gets boring, I fought about 10 turtlers in a row once on SFIV, around the time I stopped playing.

As long as you earn points mainly through kills, K/D ratio will always matter.

Hence why I like Project Reality where 'teamwork' puts you at the top of the leaderboard.

if they ditched K/D and soley tracked your win/lose ratio that'd probably have better results for everybody
