Unpopular Opinion: K/D Doesn't Matter

Why is it that every time someone's skill comes into question, the first thing I hear from someone is "Your crucible K/D sucks, so you suck"? Seriously, I heard someone say that to someone else in WotM the other day. Totally unrealated to the current situation. EDIT: People were missing the point of the second paragraph and it was kind of porly written on my part, so I'm modifying it. Basically: There are people who don't really try in PVP that are good at PVE, and there are people who wreck in PVP that can't seem to grasp raids. So don't base your judgements of one on the other. EDIT 2: Something I forgot to bring to light before despite being the primary reason my own K/D is lower than it ought to be (Thanks to BrassedoffDan for reminding me)- You can easily get a good K/D by being in the back the whole game. But some of us aren't sissies. Some of us are AGGRESSIVE. We're going to break their lines, grab those crests, cap that Bravo objective, dunk that rift, or just straight up disrupt the enemy by any means necessary, and take down as many enemies as we can in the process! If being that shift in momentum and topping the team comes at the cost of a few more deaths, so be it. Guardians are immortal after all. EDIT 3: There are three other K/D-affecting things I should mention. 1. Unbalanced teams- you know the games. Where you end up against a full team and your team is getting repeatedy wiped by teamshotting, pack memtality grenade spam, and super chains. One game wouldn't be so bad, but there are days when you need to get something done and you're just getting steamrolled every game. Speaking of which- 2. Bounty/quest grinding- Good example: When you really just want to get the thorn quest over with, mayhem isn't up, and all you have is a shotgun and a few smoke bombs. 3. Just generally not trying all the time- Maybe you are grinding the crucible while watching a funny youtube video snapped. Maybe you like to play drunk every once in a while. Maybe you're too tired to do good, but too awake to go asleep. Plenty more examples, I'm sure. EDIT: 4. Dropping in mid match on a losing team and getting repeatedly slain by supers and heavy. Thanks Scrubbiest Scrub Also, TexasJedi_705 pointed out this relevant and pretty funny video by Badass Gaming: [url=http://youtu.be/H1c9HxtwNsU]link[/url]

  • To those who think pvp kd means anything, I'd like to remind you that really bad pvpers like me can kd farm and really good pvpers can mess around and not care about it and still be good

  • Technically, most of the people on earth don't think k/d in Destiny, or Destiny at all, matters. So actually, yours is the popular opinion.

  • The way I see it from my point of view is that if I'm over a 1k/d then I'm happy

      It doesn't matter, but it is an indication of a good PvP player. I for one, am an average PvPer and this is my opinion. As for that guy in the raid, f that guy

        • If you don't think kd matters, then why do you care what another player thinks in a pve activity... Just tell them to shut up, and make you some orbs...

            • Your post does little more than attract attention to your own obvious skill. Not only are you one of the best PVE and Raiders that I've ever even heard of, but your 1.23 KD should actually be much higher if you only tried and put in HALF the effort that all these other try hards do…[spoiler]drip[/spoiler][spoiler]drip[/spoiler]

                I hate it when someone says "your K/D sucks, your opinion is invalid." If someone presents a logical argument, explain why you disagree. If you don't, it just makes it look like you don't know what your talking about and are trying to hide it.

                • K/d means nothing to me at all. PvP: I suck, I barely tolerate it so meh. PvE: I like exploring or having daft challenges with the husband so never survive very long. "Backwards sparrow racing" on the Cosmodrome is a prime example. "How many times can you punch a yellow Colossus before dying?" is another.
