What's a competetive K/D?

Warlock 1.3 Hunter 1.7 (these are last i checked) I know I'm not the best guardian in crucible, but I know I'm not the worse. Just wanted to get a feeling on what is a "good" vs. "bad" k/d. I've seen a lot of opinions being ignored or dissmised because of a "bad" k/d and i wanted to get a feel from the community.

    K/D doesn't necessarily indicate a good player because there are plenty of stat-padders out there that just pitch a tent and camp so they can max their K/D. If you just play the game without thinking about your K/D first and actually play the objective, then your K/D becomes relevent. Honestly anything over a 1.5 is pretty good imo. 1.0 is average (even though the average Destny player has a K/D below 1.0). If I were to just hang back and not play the objective like some players do, I'd easily have over a 2.0 no doubt. In fact, in games where I don't have to rush the objective constantly because I have a good team capable of holding the objectives, I nearly always have over a 2.0. But since I find that incredibly boring and actually like a more aggressive playstyle, I have a 1.73 on my Hunter, 1.65 on my Warlock, and a 1.73 on my Titan. Unless you play mostly Clash. K/D (and kills per game) actually matters a lot more then.

    • A good player tends to be a person with a 1.5 or above. Very good is about 2.0 and above. Most top tier players have above a 2.75 at least, but remember that this is just my experience with other players and in no way is set in stone. There are definitely exceptions to what I'm saying.

    • I think somewhere around 1.7. If you're a good player you will naturally have a weekly KD somewhere around a1.7 regardless of how many losses you've had. It's not about your overall progress but more about your weekly to monthly progress.

    • I'm around 1.1 to 1.3 on each one . Have 1 of each. I have fun and usually get top of the board. But I play solo and a lot of control.

    • 1.5. People above a 2 something actively think about k.d. If your trying hard to have a good k.d and it's only 1.5 then you aren't good.

    • My K/D is average. Would easily be 2.0 if I was more reserved. I tend to attack and capture

    • It doesn't really matter as long as your a team player. I have 1.4s to 1.7s. I could really care less about my k/d as long as I know what points to capture and and know how to kill people I don't care

    • The kds on each character is kinda dumb, so do your overall kd.

    • I'd say anything lower than 1.2 is bad . 1.2 to 1.6 is decent . And 1.7+ is good

      Your stats seem pretty effin' solid to me. I would put you in "pretty good" category. 7/10. But I think Combat Rating should also be factored in. I've seen players with a 1.3-1.5 k/d with a pretty low CR (105). I have a 1.06 between all 3 of my characters and a CR of 1.04. Conversely, I've seen k/d's near my own mediocre one with CRs of around 130. I would rank CR: Below 100_below average (doesn't know maps or game mechanics very well, rushes into 3v1s more often than not, usually lands in bottom 3 in 6v6 or bottom player in 3v3) 101 - 125 _average (struggles with consistency and game awareness but can get top player occasionally in low skilled lobbies...hey, that's me!) 126 - 150_good (can carry some games, more consistent, usually a top 3 player on team) 151 - 175_excellent (carries pub teams consistently, rarely out of top 2 on team, used to winning) 176 - 200_beast (probably a top 2% player (overall), probably almost never goes negative in pub matches, probably has winning % in the 80s+) 201+_top dawg (top 1% player, crusher of hope, probably streams) EDIT: changed the ranges of "beast" and "top dawg" EDIT 2: these ranges only reflect my opinion/experience and is not based in science. Also, sorry TC for hijacking your thread.

      • I'm ok KD wise,I main my hunter in pvp but it's all about the "W" I don't care about anything else.K/d is not a determining factor of a skilled player,rather a indicator.

      • Well, anything is competitive. But generally you want above 1 simply so you can say you helped more than you hurt.

      • I take K/D with a grain of salt. I've had times where my K/D was around 2.0 on three characters each, but between making new characters and varying levels of how much I feel like trying at times, I've been up and down from 1.0's to 1.7's lately, bouncing back and forth. I can do pretty damn good and be that guy leading our team with a few thousand more points than the guy below me, or I can be that guy who dances on every single opponent I kill or get with a team of friends and play hide-and-seek with the enemy team lol. A high K/D can show that someone is either very good, or they like to kill from way back / get a kill and run their ass off to survive, and on the other hand a low K/D can be a bad player, or simply someone who enjoys assing around frequently. Nothing like going into Trials and being that guy who garners little concern when seeing his K/D and then proceeds to 5-0 the opponents who underestimated you lol.

        Kd + combat score is the real making of a skilled player.

      • The way I rank it is if it's below 0.90 than your need to practice 1.0 is people who ate decent 1.50 it's not to bad you know your stuff 2.0 your a well seasoned veteran and are slightly feared in pvp if your kd is above 3.0 you are feared and a great member of any team most often they get 3000 points in 5 minutes
