Kd mathematics is flawed.

Ok so hear me out. If you look on this app at your game stats,pvp or pve, something is not right. For example if you patrol cosmodrome and kill 98 enemies and have zero deaths, the app says your kd is 98.00. Thats not right. 98 divide by zero is zero. It should be kills divided by lives not deaths. So 98 kills divided by 1 life is 98.00kd. Doesn't mean anything right? Well if you killed 98 enemies and died twice your kd should realistically be 98 divided by three lives not divided by two deaths. i.e it should be 32.666 not 49. So in my relatively primative mathematical mind kd is a misguided and miscalculated mind-blam!-. It also means that all those who pride themselves on their kd are probably not really sure of what their kd is. TLDR. Kd is shit. KL is what we should be calculating. Up for discussion
