Are you that guy that carries your team in control by selflessly capturing objectives the entire match. Is your medal score dominated by a ridiculous number of Objectively Correct medals? Are you tired of being wrongfully called a scrub because your k/d ratio is abysmal? Then this is the post for you!
Introducing the revolutionary new z/d ratio®! Simply open the legend page, find your control stats, and divide the zones captured by deaths. Finally a way to show that you're not as worthless as trash talkers assume!
Example: 440/1483=.3
What's your z/d ratio? Prove your worth!

New rule: If you're going to vote greater than 1.0, you have to post so that we can call you out!

There are a lot of liars here. Stop breaking my cool new metric!

About half the people commenting either didn't understand the purpose of this post or were just ashamed of their z/d ratio and got super defensive so I've been forced to write a long, unnecessary explanation that most people will probably tldr anyway.
First of all, the z/d ratio is not a measure of your aptitude and likelihood of winning control. I am well aware that a superior team can still win while only controlling one or less points. I have been on those teams. (This is mostly just because bungie made a crappy excuse for an objective-based game.) The z/d is intended to be a simple measure of your ability to efficiently capture objectives. And despite what many of you have said, there is absolutely value in that. I know that in a perfect world your team would capture exactly two objectives and hold them for the rest of the game. But honestly- how many of you have ever experienced a game where that happened- I'm guessing close to zero. In the real world (fraught with randoms) where you are typically losing and gaining control points, capping is necessary. I never said this was a substitute for a positive k/d, or that I encourage spawn swapping, or that team tactics aren't useful so can we put all of those arguments to bed? If you have a lousy z/d just own up to it or move on. End rant.
And mad props to FullSpe3D for having the highest verified z/d so far- 0.84!!! If you still think he's not pulling his weight, just check out the rest of his stats!

.35 seems low but I guess that's pretty good. I only play Crucible during Iron Banner events which is only Control but I guess that's above average.

2 RepliesBut, control is more about the kills. Not our fault. Bungie made everything a team deathmatch

I'm very active in a control match ._. But i wouldn't say the z/d is an accurate representation of how adept if an objective player u are on here My stats are funky in the way that i rush everywhere but with good intentions like cutting players off, spawn flipping to our advantage, & holding a spawn by myself if need it be. Plenty of bad campy players out there who aren't active or try to contribute to a win as they're afraid they're not good enough theyll come out on top in engagements But I'd honestly can't say how to accurately tell if sum1 is a great obj player by some of these stats alone, u can to a degree but not be completely certain :/

Got about .27 and I feel like I do pretty well. Never play with a party so I have to rely on inconsistent teams.

1 ReplyCool post. But objective points in crucible are almost negligible. It's more about spawns and holding two points for extra kill points, not to get more objective points.

.24. I suck even using this stat lol.
