DO YOU SEE WHY WE DON'T WANT K/D???
Knowing number of kills per MATCH, yes. But no K/D.
AS YOU JUST SAID... It will CHANGE HOW PEOPLE PLAY THE GAME.
It makes people IGNORE objectives and focus on KILLING, then on NOT DYING, then maybe do an objective if it's not too much trouble...
It already tracks number of kills. Awesome. Now give us win/loss stats, and I'll be happy. So no, OP, I'm not totally against some stats that are "missing" being added. But there's plenty of reason why K/D is a bad idea in a game based on teamwork and objectives. I haven't been able to access the stats site yet though, so I'm not sure about some things. Does it track your average XP per session? If so, that's what I want to see most.
yes i see your point but i disagree that this community would hold K/D as your most important stat like other games. if some troll came onto these forums and even mentioned his k/d ratio they would get flamed so fast. if anyone even mentions k/d everyone gets there panties in a bunch. i wish i hadnt even mentioned it because i honestly think it would be a minor stat but nice to know in conjunction with other stats. for example if i avg 8000xp 30 revives and 2.5 k/d and 2 objectives then i am a beast. unfortunately avg xp is the only stat that is on there.
avg xp is a good stat but i dont play for xp. i play to win and there isnt any W/L. alot of times i know i can switch class and get the objective but if i stay medic and buff/revive till we lose i would get more xp and boost my stats and look like a better player under this stat system. xp is not everything, no stat is everything, even W/L. that is why i would like to see more than just avg xp.
there are alot of people who do play only for xp and it isnt always helpful to win the game and i think that is a problem since they use up their supplies as fast as possible then die intentionally to rinse and repeat and pay no attention to trying to push forward or take any objective or shoot someone because the only stat that is valued here is xp which can be boosted just like any other stat
i honestly dont care that much about k/d i would just like to see more than just avg xp. MOST IMPORTANTLY WIN/LOSS on each map
