Hopefully my slightly relative title will get a few of you guys in here for some light conversation. RELAX. And enjoy my rant.
It is clear, that any team looking to win at trials or just play competitively in general, would look for players with a high K.D. I know I would!
But it makes me oh so sad when it reaches a point where someone would join your party and put you on the spot by saying you have a low K.D of 1. Something. And then they leave.
It makes me even more sad that people on the forums call me horrible names and tell me to "git gud" before giving advice on something.
I used to play Halo competitively and I used to be that try hard kid that would always worry about K.D. And then I grew up.... I was always trying to get that competitive edge on gaming. From in game training like learning maps in and out, working on call outs, and mastering the "Bumper Jumper". To out game stuff like making sure I ate a nutritious meal and exercising before playing to make sure I'm focused and in a great mental state. Also I made sure I played with smaller monitors or TVs with little to no Input Lag, along with wired controllers and great Internet.... I was really into competitive play growing up, but my problem now is... You Guys Make Me Hate My K.D!
Now that I'm older, I always wanted that 60inch flat screen TV to feel fully into the world of whatever I'm watching. So I got it. I love letting my brothers play destiny and I also like doing challenges with them like, "This game must be melee kills only! Go!" Or "This game, use No Land Beyond only! Go!". Had to mix it up a bit since repetition does get tedious and stale from destiny. I'm a very relaxed player. Its just a game, playing mad makes you play bad and it's not worth the stress. Stress kills. I literally have no one I play destiny with online. And I hate looking for randoms because not everyone is as mature as I am(Although I get silly quick when comfortable). But gotta accept fireteams are required for Destiny so aw well. (Cool people add me!)
All I'm saying is....
I consider looking up K.D important for competitive play yes.
I don't like that I am quickly judged by my K.D on forums and in parties. Doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, i feel bad.
And I don't like that most people reading this right now are already thinking to comment on how much of a baby I'm being, and how I should accept that this is the way the people of today are online. Or if I want extra salt on my fries... Or how I should get lost and go play COD or something!
I'm a good player enjoying life. And I wrote this simply because sometimes I have that thought of, dam... I wish I could start fresh on Destiny, and reset my K.D. And go at it for real. But that's the little boy in me speaking. If you're a friendly player and want to add me, feel free to do so. I need friends man! Tired of asking my son if he saw that triple kill I got... He just looks at me and searches for my phone! ( he's 1 years old)
I hope everyone is enjoying Destiny up until now like myself, and I'll be seeing you all in The Taken King!

13 RepliesI don't judge people based on their k/d. But if I'm playing trials, I want to play with someone of similar skill to myself, so I'll specifically look for people with ~2.0 k/d, give or take. I'll mention this in my posts, and people with 1.0 k/d will say they meet my requirements, and it's annoying having to waste time checking because for every 10 responses, 9 are lying about their skills. When I tell them "sorry you don't meet the requirements", they call me an elitist, even though I clearly mentioned them beforehand. Otherwise, I sometimes judge feedback based on k/d. If someone is suggesting a balance change with a k/d of 0.5, I'll take their opinion with a grain of salt, whereas I'll be more inclined to agree with a more skilled player's opinion.
