you're just an average player. There isn't anything more to it than that. the middle line of all players is a k/d of exactly 1. anything higher than 1 is above average while anything lower than 1 is below average. for someone to have a positive k/d, someone had to go negative. that's how it works. you just aren't as good as you think you are. You can change that however by learning to use better strategies. In your case you seem to bring the fight to the enemy, which is probably what they want. Never rush around a corner if you think an enemy is in the next room unless you know you're taking him by surprise. Otherwise a shotty/fusion rifle/super is coming right in your face. You can throw a grenade in the room first too to catch them offguard, or call it out to team mates for help instead. knowing the maps is a really good first step. find where all the heavy ammo crates spawn, and make sure you're there when they do. In all honesty though, destiny PvP is filled with so much bullshit I wouldn't even worry about your k/d at all. Ive had games where 90% of my deaths were just from supers. really annoying and there isn't anything you can do about it, unless you get lucky. Bad team mates play such a major role in your k/d as well. it's a team game and if your whole team is sucking balls, so will you, just not as much as them. It's like putting a professional hockey goalie on a team of amateurs. He can't carry his team to victory alone, and I can guarantee he will let goals in. If you really want to see your k/d shoot up, find people to play with for communication. communication goes a long way. destiny isn't cod, so don't expect to be able to go all Rambo and single handedly win the game.
