Incorrect, this is a statistical anomaly. Poorer players will die more often, thereby skewing the kill ratio. You could have a 1.0 KDR and still be in the bottom 30% of players quite easily.

    Poorer players die more often, lowering the kdr. The players that killed them raise the kdr the same amount Edit: Please explain how you could be in the bottom 30% if your kd is 1.0?

  • Their deaths are offset by the people that kill them. So the entire average is unchanged.

  • No, because better players will of course die fewer times so the 1.0 KDR will not show the true median value.

  • Median value is not average. Spread across the entire group of 12, KD is 1.
