Does K/D truly make a better player?
I see a lot of these "my K/D is better" post in threads especially when it's a troll war. I noticed a lot of these high K/D players are campers who tend to play only control. Now I have no problem with protecting a point but I am noticing a pattern. My play style is passive/aggressive and that is reflected in my offensive and defensive stats which are about even. I simply go to were the fighting is. My k/d is not great but I'm sick of campers claiming their greatness. If your defensive kills are double your offensive kills that's fine but anyone can sit back and wait while the skilled do the hard work.
Edit: Over 100 replies and only one troll post. Wow. I'm glad to see such positive ways of thinking. Thank you. I live by the code: "Fight hard, fight fair, die in glory."

3 RepliesK/D ratios can be misleading. Take for instance the type of gamer who never really played many FPS games before. They decide to pick up Destiny and end up getting demolished in the crucible. But eventually they get better and end up averaging 2.5+ ratios every game. Problem is that they sucked in the beginning so their overall k/d ratio may only be 1.0. Someone that looks at this stat may think that they are a bad gamer but when in reality they are simply victims of stat averaging. Also, take the older gamer who has kids that play on their characters. I fall into this category. When I play I normally hit a 2.0+ ratio but my young son likes to play on my account. He usually barely averages a .5+. So my overall k/d ratio reflects this, it does not reflect MY skill level.
